1999 GMC Yukon Denali review from North America

Intake manifold Gasket at 127000 miles (I knew this when I bought it)

Driver side heated seat at 127000 (no biggie)

The engine leaks a little oil out of the rubber lines (Very common among 4.3L and 5.7L (350) GM motors) at 127000. Main Seals are still good.

Steering hub is loose-needs replaced- in which I haven't done yet. I'll get to it this summer.

The Rear drive-shaft slip yoke went bad (So they thought)

Overall, good vehicle; Especially when comparing to a price tag of the Cadillac Escalade which is the same exact vehicle in 1999, expect the logos and front end) for about a price tag of $3000 less.

In referral to the slip yoke, Every time I come to a stop I get a vibration upon the full stop. It also shakes and (clinks) as soon as I let off of the brake. I thought it was my U-Joints. Replaced those to no luck. I took the vehicle to the dealer after beating myself up. To which they put grease in the Slip yoke that attaches to the rear drive shaft on the transmission (transfer case) end. To which it fixed for about 300 miles. I put a micrometer on both the old and new slip yokes to find the splines where both the same size within.0009 of an inch. Less than 1/1000. Before installing I called the Dealership and they said that it was the problem even if they measured the same size. So, I decided to replace to no luck. I still have the problem today with no Bulletins or anyone around being able to figure out what the problem is.

This is the Wife's vehicle and as long as I'm around to fix the Minor problems that pop-up from time to time. She's happy with it. Say's she would only trade it for a Toyota 4-runner and that's it.--Keep dreaming.-American all the way. Especially when buying parts. :-)

Hate the 10-16 MPG gas.-- Give some take some :-)
