Yes I did have an 8.1 yukon . Got a constant 11 mpg , but towed like a boss! Sold that one and bought a 98 6.5 diesel and went up to 18 mpg. Miss all my old trucks. I did try an excursion, but after driving suburbans for almost 20 years, the excursion just felt awkward in handling and was not near as comfortable to drive everyday. I did like the 7.3 diesel, but cold weather was not good on that truck. I was contemplating a 3500 express van , but was not happy loosing foot room for long trips.
My current 2009 is nice , but at 330,000 miles have been thinking about leave it alone ?? Put in fresh motor?? Or move into an older lower mile clean truck to avoid car payment.
I do feel the best route would be keep my 2009 and have money set aside for any major repairs. Or??? Find me a duramax crew cab, but I sure would miss all the extra room I have in my burb.
I drive the wife crazy, but it what I really love, and she loves all the camping trips in comfort!??
