I've been kicking the idea around of purchasing a loaded 2002 Yukon SLT with a flex fuel 5.3. Anybody here have experience with these trucks with this kind of milage on the odometer? The seller is asking $ 13,000.00 but I am thinking about offering in the 8- $ 9000 range. The truck has Autoride and I know this system is not cheap to fix. The truck appears to be well taken care of.

 

The repairs to my 2002 Sierra with 88,000 have already paid for the extended warranty 2 times over.

 

Any opinions appreciated

In my opinion it depends on how it was driven and maintained. I have 185K on my Tahoe and it runs great. Of course I have maintained it very well. Trans is a known weak link. If it hasn't gone once, plan on it going. Engines should go well over 200K if regular maintenance is done especially oil changes. Front end will need work. Mine got loose at about 145K and I completely rebuilt the front end.

 

Bottom line is if you get it for a good price, you can put some of the $$ saved into fixing some stuff. If maintained well, it can be a very dependable vehicle. If not maintained well, it is a money pit at this point.

I think the price is high for a truck with that many miles. I recentlly purchased the same truck for just a couple thousand more and only has 67k miles. My 2 cents.

My truck is 8 years old, and i dont have half the problems these people have with a truck that at its oldest, is only 3 years old.

 

Rear differentials burning up?  bed rattle?  What a disgrace!  Nissan should stick to their mini pickups. They obviously cant make a man's truck.

 

 

I see the commercials on TV.  "They came with this...you asked for this" as they show an obvious 5-bolt front rotor, and then slam on the table a six-bolt rotor.  Any retard who didnt know about trucks would say "hey, that is an improvement" ...when in fact, all Silverados COME with the rotors that big.

 

I love when they show the commercial about the rear ring differential gear.  The one they're comparing it to cant be more than a 2.73, and they throw a 4.56 on the table.

 

Who the hell do you think you're kidding Nissan?

 

Your trucks suck :fume:

Your company is foreign  :D

We dont want you! :crackup:

 

So kiss our flag wearing American asses!  :loser:  :flag:  :fume:  :fume:

 

 

 

 

Yea, My 94 has over 200k and the year your looking at is a better drive train. He is out of his mind on the price though.

Hi Sagent--The mileage should be at least a $6K deduct from the price, which would put retail about $10800, and trade in about $8200 (add $1500 for 4-wheel drive). This should be a very difficult unit to sell, as there are plenty of Yukons on the market with a lot less miles, for not to many $'s more. I think your $8K to $9K would be a reasonable offer. Every body wants to tell you about their Yukon with 200K miles on it, but nobody wants to buy one. I have a 2001 Suburban with 55K and love it. Good luck with your deal.--Frank Sub

      What a wonderful result! Great story telling to. You are quite multifaceted sir.  I'd keep it. Four is my limit too and yet we have five as well. One assigned the 'salt car' to do all those tasks you hate to ask of your 'Save for Good" crowd. 😉    Don't forget the antifreeze.    The Iron 4.3 is a favorite of mine.

      Ancillary parts to the lower intake and connections went together without issue.   There was a brief pause when I leak-tested the fuel lines and injection system. Fuel was spraying all over. Lovely. O-rings weren't sealing the fuel lines to the spider, and inbound line was leaking at schrader valve, leaks at both flange nuts. It's moments like those when you just want to set fire to the whole shop, and be done with it. I was mostly enjoying the project up until that point, and was tracking to an agenda of having a running Blazer and a cold beverage in hand by dinnertime.    I found some larger Viton o-rings for my spider and some grease to get them to seat. One leak solved. Swapped fuel line Schrader core for old core. Still leaked. Swapped entire valve for old valve. Leak solved. Nudged the flange nuts a little tighter on the connections. Another leak solved. I could cycle the key / prime the pump and the intake was staying dry.    Reassembled the upper intake, with 10,000 vacuum lines, and filled the cooling system with water* (this is temporary, I'm not done with the cooling system yet).   Showtime!!   Cranked it over and smoke billowed, it was running rough. CEL illuminated and began flashing. P0300 and I somehow tripped a code for the TPS sensor, voltage low.    There's nothing as unrewarding as a vehicle that won't run (and produces the same code/problem) after hours of research and work.   Clearly I was in over my head. Was the timing off, did I stab the distributor incorrectly? Is the new distributor bad? With my limited OBD 1.5 data stream I really don't have a lot of parameters to see. The engine was pulling mad timing again (flooding?).   Think, Atlas, think.   1-6-5-4-3-2. One, six, five.....four, three, ....two. Wait a second. That makes no sense. 1 is the forward cylinder on the driver's side, so 2 should be the forward cylinder on the passenger side, not 6.    I can't believe it, but I'm looking right at it. Swapped 2 and 6 on the distributor and turned the key over, and...   It fired, coughed and stumbled, smoked, and then settled into a smooth idle. The scanner showed no codes, no lights on the dash, and the throttle was nice and responsive to gentle revs while it warmed up.   It's working!!! IT'S WORKING!!!   I paused for a late dinner, no cold beverage yet. I was determined to do my shakedown run. Did a basic safety and fluids check one more time and then went out and put almost 70 miles on it last night. She's a runner, runs good.   Came home and did a post-trip, post-mortem. The underside is dry *except* for where the last owner RTV'd the snow out of the intersection of the timing cover and oil pan. He said he had replaced the timing cover seal, but, my dude had clearly done it incorrectly and then tried to hold back fate with black RTV. Never works.   Yesterday morning I replaced the broken driver's door mirror. As much as I hate cheap Chinese parts, thank goodness for cheap Chinese parts. I think an entire new power mirror assembly cost me like $30, and it works perfectly. Replacement tail lights (faded, and one was busted) ran me about $12/side. I have a door pin kit ready to go in because the driver's door sags just a little and I want to fix that because there's nothing sadder than a saggy door.   I don't know what's next for this rig. Half of me wants to take some nice photos (there's a park nearby with a HUGE American Flag that always seems to be catching wind) and throw it up on CL/Marketplace for a couple grand and see if it flies. The other half of me... I've got a sweet running S10 Blazer that's been keeping my mind off of whatever I'm going through right now, and it's bringing some joy, and is cheaper than therapy. Maybe I'll keep it around for a little while. However, this is my 5th vehicle, just for me. 4 is really my limit, but they are not junk, so need very little attention. I don't know...there's a point where it's just too much and I don't see owning this truck long term. But I solved its major problem, got it running, so I'm going to stick a feather in my cap for now.   Sometimes we just need to get our hands dirty and fix something in the physical world to gain some satisfaction.
