My 2002 GMC Yukon has 276,000 miles, original un-rebuilt engine (5.3) and transmission . It's sold me on GM trucks/SUV's for sure. It's pulls fine with an open car hauler with an F-body but I'd go...

The tight oil formations in the US don't yield diesel, thus the increased supply has been all or almost all gas. That is a big reason for the price differential.

That is a shame. Another thing to mention to the young family men you know- pick up some term life to protect your family in case of such a trajic event- it's ridiculously inexpensive.

I've said it before-I think a Formula equipped with the 455HO should be worth more than a TA-lower production, same performance, more variety. I'm looking forward to seeing pics!

I'm probably in the minority, but I like the whitewall tires. That is one neat car- too bad it left Michigan. Nice to see they put a transverse muffler instead of the turbos.

I like that car-congratulations. Hopefully you got it for less, but 30k on that seems like a good deal. In my opinion, 455 ho Formulas should be worth more than the TA's. Lower production,...

Glad you didn't need a new motor--high compression small gasket area seems to be a weakness there. Are there tougher, more modern gaskets that will alleviate that issue?

I figured the 8.1 would be bad, but not that bad. It's sad that your 6.5 got only 130k before failure- maybe you'll find it's relatively minor-head gasket? The 5.3 in my 02 Yukon has 257k now, and...
