  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.

  Good truck for its age - 1999 GMC Yukon
  By Kansas Girl - August 28 - 11:50 am

  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.

  Comfort at a cost - 1999 GMC Yukon
  By S. Virgilio - January 2 - 5:48 pm

  Purchased with 30,000+ miles on it, by 120,00 it was toast. Comfortable and roomy interior, great sound system and dash design. Travels well on highway. Disappointed with performance. Rear drum brakes went a week after purchase engine ruined due to gasket/coolant problems even though scrupulously maintained. Weve gotten well over 180,000 on our other vehicles. Last GMC big rig Ill buy.

  My 1999 Yukon SLT 4WD - 1999 GMC Yukon
  By Gene Valentine - June 16 - 4:47 pm

  Overall, I am satisfied with the vehicle and expect several more years. I do have issues with the following: - Brakes: front set is too small, rears dont automatically adjust, a common problem with this model. The bulbs behind the radio/CD buttons died. The dealer said the entire unit had to be replaced .The CD player is very poor quality, was repaired twice, and I will replace it with a better unit The intake manifold cracks, another too common problem for 99, it should have been subject of a recall. The center console should have come with a lock.

  Nice SUV - 1999 GMC Yukon
  By utgmcguy - September 12 - 2:00 am

  Thanks to my grandpa I have this SUV. It has over 125,000 miles on it and still runs great! No leaks or anything. It may be almost 6 years old but it still looks new. The leather seat with heat for all passengers keeps everyone cmofortable.

  Mr. Denali - 1999 GMC Yukon
  By cbg1688 - June 28 - 2:00 am

  Overall very satisfied with the vehicle. Received plenty of great compliments on looks and comfort. The only problems were coolant system related which ended up costing me a grand total of $500 over four years...not bad! I have heard of brake problems from others with the same vehicle which seem to be very common on the 2000s NOT the 99s for whatever reason. Great room for beach trips, moving, friends and/or weekend getaways. Thanks GMC for the great memories. -Chris Gorham

  100000 mile follow up - 1999 GMC Yukon
  By Lance 1 - June 21 - 2:00 am

  I have reached the 100000 mile mark. Still like the Yukon. However, intake manifold gasket replaced, apparently a very prevelent problem on the OEM gasket after the 60000 mile mark hold on to your check book 400-800 dollar repair depend who you call etc., fuel pump a costly 200-315 dollar part depend where bought, water pump, and wiper motor. Rides just as smooth at 50 mph as at 80 mph. Tranmission still no problem. Everything else good.

  nice surprise - 1999 GMC Yukon
  By gamer05 - May 29 - 2:00 am

  I read a review on this site that said their yukon shakes at around 70mph. Mine does too. There is no evidence of abnormal tire wear though. Other than that this vehicle has been remarkable. It is a dependable, secure ride. Very smooth ride for an SUV. Press the accelarator with slow and steady pressure for the best acceleration...
