1999 GMC Yukon 4 Dr SLT 4WD Wagon
Review
I bought my Yukon New and have owned it for 10 years now with 165,000 Miles. It was purchased for the four wheel drive. The drive train has performed flawless. Early repairs were leaky heater hose eng. block nipple; Exhaust gaskets RR; tightened the oil filter/cooler engine mounting. The original brakes are undersized and I replaced the front rotors with cryogenic cooled/hardened Praise units at 20k along with their stage III pads, rear brakes just the Praise shoes. These rotors lasted 120,000 miles. One problem engine not starting after a foggy nite or sitting awhile...The security light is on. OK after setting awhile. Overall the vehicle is stable with lower than Honda maint. costs.
Favorite Features
Radio; AutoTrac 4wd system; torque; commanding view; comfort. Paint longevity.
Suggested Improvements
Better brakes, Improve all lamps integrity. Security system should not be so hard to fix or bypass yet the vehicle can still be stolen.
Good truck for its age

1999 GMC Yukon 4 Dr Denali 4WD Wagon
Review
I bought this vehicle with 77K miles on it, one owner, maintenance record available. Have had to replace the water pump, fuel pump, spark plugs wires cap and rotor all of which are probably a maintenance issue at over 100K miles now. Have had problems with check engine light coming on and code says misfire in 5th cylinder. Have had it worked on at 3 different places and none can figure out the problem for sure...is it a valve or injector problem?? Probably a $700- $1500 fix. Never has left me stranded anywhere. Good overall vehicle with lots of options for its age.

Suggested Improvements
Third row seat, heated rear controls not just AC.
Couldn't Have Better!

Review
I see a lot of reviews of people saying that is is a poor vechile. Well don't forget that it wa made in 1999! It's not perfect like it was the day you pucharsed it, if you got it brand new like we did. It has been in our famliy since it was bought and has brought a lot of fun to us. What year are we in...2008 so yeah it's 9 years old. Of cousre it's gonna be having problems. It's old not new no more! I love my Yukon and feel very safe and love pushing faster than I should but I don't care because it can handle it. 255 hp is something!

Review
Bought my Yukon brand new. Love the looks & comfort. Don't like the gas mileage & repair costs. Brakes are poor, replaced head gasket, brake lines, brakes, fuel pump. Have 93K miles; exterior is mint but told the underside is rusting out under me. Rear doors leak and hinges sqweak. This is my 3rd GMC truck and I thought I would never change. Now I'm not so sure.
Favorite Features
Ride & comfort, tows well, great sound system, secure feeling.
Suggested Improvements
Gas mileage, less costly repairs, rear windows should go down all the way.
Part of the family

1999 GMC Yukon 4 Dr Denali 4WD Wagon
Review
We bought the Denali when it first came out, and it has served well. It needed the typical GM repairs(Fuel pump, fuel injectors, manifold gasket, weak brakes)but when they are all fixed, she still runs well. Now it's lifted 2.5", has Brembo brake calipers, disc brake rear conversion, full MSD ignition, and sport sway bars. It handles great, tows well, and starts perfectly. The V8 is so smooth. Can't believe it has 150,000k miles on it. Only beef is the low mpg's. At least it takes regular gas. This SUV has become my weekend toyhauler.
Favorite Features
Big payload. Lots of room for cargo. Tows well. Been in thick snowstorms, and the 4WD rocks! Plenty of torque, and solid frame. Now if only it didn't eat so much gas.
Suggested Improvements
It's a nice model to end the "old body style" GM Suv's. The bad: No more A/C (but could be from bad mechanic shop. Worked perfectly for over 120k miles). Eat less gas.
