Hi all, greetings from AZ!
I've been lurking around the forum for quite a while and have picked up some very useful information. Everyone on here is so knowledgeable and I'm hoping I can get some insight on my situation.
I purchased a new to me 2003 Yukon SLT w/173,000 miles that I lovingly named Ruby because of her beautiful maroon color. I paid $2500 for it, and I knew going in that there were some things that would need to be addressed. In short, I've spent $3000 on repairs and upgrades in the 6 months I've owned it with the biggest expense being a rebuilt transmission.
One chilly morning about a month ago I discovered Ruby has no heat
I had my mechanic look at it and he determined that in order to fix it the airbox will have to be replaced which will require the dash to be torn apart and will be quite costly
In hindsight, I bought the truck in June when it was 100 plus degrees outside so at that time I was mainly concerned that the AC was blowing ice cold. I didn't even think to check the heater.
Fortunately, I live in AZ so the winters aren't super cold but some nights it can get down into the 30s.
What do you guys think - is it worth the additional expense to get the heat fixed?
