Private Investigator, so on average I drive anywhere from 800-1000 miles a week as I go where the files are. Lots of insurance fraud out there ;) I'll hit all 4's on the odometer early next week.

Yeah I can't wait to roll 300k. My
Burb was used as a limo service for a hotel and I got it on the cheap. I have most service records for it. Looks like everything is all original.

i have 162,000+ on my Yukon. Did just change the right front hub but just routine stuff otherwise. I'm going to take it to 200,000 min. It wont be worth much then so, I'll keep going.

02- 4.8 w/ 218K... but getting retired next week to being the wife's daily driver. Only retired as far as it *should* be getting less mileage, just local commuting and grocery getting instead of the work travel I do. I guess the actual driving will be harder than ever though!:lol2:

I just installed a new windshield, put on 4 new tires and ordered the AC parts so if it doesn't see 300K I'll be pissed.

when you get as high as 400k+ on mileage it must turn into an Al Bundy kinda thing where he got focused on hitting a million miles on his Dodge :lol:

Just bought my 2001 less than three weeks ago with 194,000 miles on it. Unfortunately it needs a new engine due to finding coolant in the oil when I had it changed (it didn't show on the dipstick) but it still runs smooth.

2001 GMC Yukon XL

We bought ours new, and absolutely love it!! We have only replaced the AC compressor, and the fuel pump. We travel in it several times a year, and it's still going strong sitting on right at 230,000 miles. We plan to keep it going till it croaks, and that SUV is a great one!! Hey thinking this one might be like Al Bundy's Dodge!! HAHA! Did I mention, the Ford F-150 we bought new in 1994 is still running strong. We have replaced the clutch on it, had it repainted, new tires and rims, had it reapholstered in camo..of course, some funny push button horn, and a new sound system. And gave it to one of our sons, at 259,000 miles on it. The other has a mustang we bought used at 150,000 miles.

390k

My dad has a 2001 Yukon xl with 390k and as far as I know he has I only had to replace the fuel pump and the body is still in great shape but the inside is a little banged up. Runs good overall.

Our (My) 2000 NBS 5.3 Tahoe 4X4 has 168,3XX miles as of this morning..... runs like a top, no major problems. I would drive it anywhere, reliable as the day it was new!! (Knock-on-Wood!!)

I've had to replace little things like..... window motors, shocks, usual maintanance / wear items, but that is to be expected. Had to disassemble and clean the multifunction (signal) switch (would click like blinker was on form time to time), but all-in-all a good solid machine!!!
