I’ve had 01,02,03,04 Yukon and the only problem I ever had was the instrument cluster going out. My 03 Silverado too. I’ve done nothing but maintenance to my vehicles. They all made it to 250,000+ miles with only tune ups. I barely replaced the original radiator on my 04 Yukon xl…did the water pump just because. I love these generation vehicles.

[@Procrastinator1948]

I had an on again, off again issue with my gauge cluster no working at all, Found a guy locally who does the custom led's for the cluster and took the cluster to him (very easy to remove, btw). while installing blue leds for me, he reflowed the entire board and i've had no more issues with the gauges. You probably have someone in your area that does the cluster repair. Just look on facebook marketplace.

[@paulmvn5431]

I just bought a Yukon with a broken cluster and leaking water pump. The cluster had a resistor broken off at both pads. I soldered in a new one and it came back to life.

[@davidanderson1889]

Very helpful video for those that are not too familiar with Chevy trucks and SUVs. One additional issue that should have been mentioned is an issue that comes up from time to time when a message comes up on the cluster saying "Reduced Engine Power" and the vehicle won't accelerate beyond 5 mph. A very frustrating issue caused mostly by faulty electrical connectors in or around the throttle body.

[@liogonzalez8813]

[@ttank94]

What are you surprised both bulbs don't burn out at the same time? That would be quite the anomaly if they did!! The issue is the fact they only illuminate when the vehicle is in gear, so you either need to get creative to see if they are burnt out yourself, or rely on someone else to let you know. Most of people driving these vehicles with one burnt out running light don't even know about it. In fact they would probably be surprised to hear it even has running lights!

Well done John. 5.3 vortec engines are solid.

[@JoseRamos-gv2om]

Couple of years ago, i bought a 2000 GMC yukon, with little over 100,000 original highway miles. It had been stored away, due to title/ownership issues, that finally got squared. I gave it an extensive servicing and TLC. In two years, my SUV has taken us on unforgettable road trips and camping. The best investment, ever. Still going strong at 156,000 miles.

[@henftw]

interesting choices here. As far as most common problems go the only thing i really agree with on this list is the intermediate shaft. Maybe knock sensors too. Id like to add a few of the problems i see most at the dealership where i work. In no particular order #1. Intake manifold & water pump gaskets going bad. #2. The brake lines rusting off #3. Parking brake shoe linings separating from the backing plates from never being used. #4. The instrument cluster lights burning out is more certain than death or taxes. #5. Heater core quick connectors leaking or breaking. #6. Door switch plates breaking away from the door panels. #7. Spare tire cable seizing up in the housing. #8. AC Compressors on early years. (still works just sounds like its going to explode) #9. Fuel pumps and fuel lines on the non flex fuel models. #10. Various evap system issues. #11. Cant forget the headlights/DRL lights filling with condensation! #12. Also cant forget the DRL bulb sockets melting from the factory bulbs drawing too much current. Overall these are all super easy problems that can be fixed on the cheap. Probably the best trucks ever built if you do your own repairs! Engines will literally outrun the frames in the long haul.

I agree with both the brake line and parking brake they happened on my 2005 yukon xl and I used to have a 2003 before that and on both the 2003 and 2005 I had the instrument cluster screw up and it made my prndl lights so dim I could barely see them at night with the dimmer on max but I had a buddy solder it on my 2005 and she is perfect again

[@lizard944]

Glad you added the "bonus" footage because that was EXACTLY my problem. I was trying to diagnose a P0530 code on my A/C "Pressure sensor circuit malfunction." Checked all of the connections on the compressor and high/low-pressure sensors and all of the a/c wiring that I could see. Checked fuses and swapped relays. No joy. Just happened to stumble onto your video. Thought no way in hell could anything be going on under the fuse panel but opened it to check for grounds, etc. There was a fluffy nest made out of what looked like home insulation material and six wires were completely chewed through! I have recently been getting other weird codes like multiple SRS airbag codes and random P0300 misfires. Will solder everything back together in the morning. Hopefully, this was the issue. THANK YOU!

I loved and respected and understood your video. My 2003 Chevy Tahoe has had continual issues. I had everything done and still when it was hot outside and I ran the air conditioner for even 5 minutes the vehicle would drop to reduce engine power. You wouldn't believe the scam job I have received over and over and told by each guy, its the cadilatyic converter, which finally I had replaced. Guess what, that didn't solve the problem. I took it to O reilys, they ran a test, it cleared all the code issues. I had a harness of wires that didn't get out into the black plastic tube holder, We wrapped the wires and put in the black tube and so far for 2 weeks in high heat 90's and running the air conditioner I have had no issues. I have no mechanical knowledge, but It seemed to me that some temperature thing was kicking when it was hot and air conditioner on, I did not have these issues in the winter or weather under 70degrees. At least now I know I am not crazy and your video was excellent. The vehicle is running a little bit rough and it could be the sensors. The codes I got from oreilys scan, coincide with everything you talked about. Thank you Connie D.

03 2500hd 6.0, still going strong at 400k. Tow 4k Lb work trailer daily. Knock sensors lasted to 395k. All my O2 sensors are original, did a wire chafe repair on front left at about 250k. All original steering shafts still at 400k. No issues. Abs sensors were and issue on off brand hub. Cracked wire. Go ACDELCO only hubs. Oil sending unit was leaking at about 250k, replaced. No more issues. Dash cluster went haywire at about 250k. Separated motherboard and resoldered numerous resistors and diodes as needed. Works great now. Blower motor wire harness almost caught fire at 300k. New harness upgrade from dealer and now won't go past 3 on the dial for safe measure (on 5 fan motor draws over 10 amps. F that). U-joint (front) at 325k. Water pump lasted to 350k. Radiator lasted to 325k. Hydroboost leaked from 100k to 400k, and just replaced that yesterday, still worked. Just leaked bad. 2 or 3 exhaust manifold bolts snapped at around 300k. Welded nut trick to remove. Ac Delco fuel pump about every 100k. Think that's about it. Amazing truck.

[@JohnDiMartino]

These vehicles are some of the most durable on the road,IMO. Ford and Dodge during the same years had engine woes,the triton v8, which early on was a great engine in 2V form especially the 4.6 , self changing spark plugs aside, was now a problematic 5.4 version,the 4.7 Chrysler is junk, the early Hemi was good IF the cam didn’t get eaten by a lifter.....but many did..The pre DOD GM LS engines were the best ever made,they were anvils of reliability . I am Fleet mechanic for a town municipality and my entire light duty fleet is 1500-3500 Chevy/GMCs,from 2003-2019 I have 13 of them. Most of our trucks are 2500/3500s all with the LQ4/and L96 6.0s. Nothing else on the road will run as long as reliably and as cheap or is as easy to work on. One thing you did leave out was the grounds...on the back of the drivers side front cab mount right under the drivers feet, there are several large grounds attached to the back of the mount tower, these are super important and they get corroded over time, I remove them clean the ground location to bare metal and cleanup all the terminals and apply fluid film at every oil change, these are ABS grounds ,electronic shift transfer case grounds as well as other various grounds... these are easy to get to while servicing the truck. I’m surprised you did t mention the oil cooler lines and here in NY the lower steering shaft u joint seizes up over time because of the road salt and the snow plows we put on them draw salt into the engine bay.....then there’s the last exhaust manifold bolt that snaps off....etc. Still the best trucks on the road!

[@tylermericka4661]

If you have one of these year vehicles I would highly recommend replacing the coil packs. Did mine at 180k after doing the typical plugs and wires but had a slight miss that wasn’t throwing a code. Truck would shimmy slightly at a stop. Swap new ones on and it’ll run brand new

[@nross33]

Ive owned a few GM trucks from this era. They really are solid, the only issues I had were the oil pressure sending unit ($50 fix) and the grounding issues ($40 fix). I would argue the transmission is a weak point as well but they are heavy trucks.

I will never buy anything NEW ‼️ Vehicles today are made cheap and don't last as way over PRICED ‼️ My opinion ‼️ I also own a 1985 Monte Carlo LS 350 Edelbrock 4 Barrel Cam Headers with 76,603 original miles. Old school is the way to go 💯💯💯😎👌

[@WhatIsKenDoing]

I have an 05 Suburban with 289K and an early 07 Silverado with 228K and have had many of these issues on the trucks. When I replaced the knock sensors and harness I also used some urethane caulk and sealed the rubber boots to the metal. I also cut a chunk of the rear foam filler out that is supposed to keep water and debris out of the gap. The truth is that foam actually traps water and debris making the problem worse. When I replaced the intermediate shaft I also replaced the rear column bearing. It didn’t add that much to the price of materials. One problem you didn’t mention was the brake light switch. This is a fairly common problem that will also cause trailer brakes to not work. You will save yourself a lot of time and hassle by buying a ‘Genuine GM’ switch, not AC Delco and definitely not any aftermarket switches.

[@nhala04]

Thanks, that just solved all my checks and balances. I had just replaced all 8 of my spark plugs on my 2006 GMC Sierra Classic. That didn't solve the issue. Now I feel more relaxed watching your video. New spark plugs and now I'll continue with my trouble shooting!! Video is very helpful!!!

Brake and fuel lines rust, the stepper motors in the cluster fail, sending units slowly fail from modern ethanol gas, the center console lid breaks, the tailgate handle breaks, front door speakers fail from water getting past the window seals, blend door actuators slowly fail and make an awful ticking noise in the dash. Not to mention the whole body rots away around you... Rockers, fenders, fuel door. But the engine will run on and on

With the exception of cluster failing, you hit the nail on the head with everything that voes wrong with these trucks. One exception the transmission fail at 200k if well taken care of.

[@MilkIsL3git]

Extremely accurate list. I'd add that the headliner starts to sag around the windows if you drive with them down often, a breeze gets under the edge and ends up pulling the headliner away from the adhesive over time. My center console is broken, the A/C ticks in the dash, the infamous running light constantly goes out, the rear hatch doesn't want to open some times, only my fuel and speedometer are accurate, but I've had it for 50K+ miles (sitting at 183k now) and it still runs like when I bought it.

Lol same. My blend doors are ticking, rust hole in gas door (might as well take it completely off lol) and rockers need to be changed, and cab corners, and speakers, and gauge cluster steppers are taking a shit. All 4wd components replaced about 3 years ago, it’s the plow truck/spare vehicle. Do plan on replacing the cab corners and rockers before it eats any further into the cab.

[@GovtSlave]

Good video. I own a 2002 Chevy Silverado 1500 with 4.8 V8. with 90K on the odometer. The biggest issue I have experienced is the rear brake calipers sticking closed. Drove all the way from Ohio to Florida, towing a trailer with one of them stuck on. It would smoke and smell until the pads wore down enough. Once I got home I replaced the rear rotors, pads, and calipers. In less than 15K miles, one of them stuck again. Don't replace with cheap rebuilds but buy the more expensive , quality rebuilt calipers. I used Napa the 2nd time. My other issue was the in tank fuel pump. It will get increasingly hard to start until it leaves you stranded with no fuel pressure. Again, don't buy a cheap replacement fuel pump. You either have to drop the tank or raise the bed to install it so you want something that's going to last. Chances are you won't find a replacement with the factory style electrical connector and will have to install an adapter pigtail. I soldered the wires on mine to avoid having an intermittent connection in the future. I have experienced the intermediate steering shaft wobble for a while now so, I think it's replacement is in my near future.

[@Patsslab]

I would like to mention the O ring on the oil pump pick up tube. Over time this O ring degrades. This results in low or no oil pressure in cold weather when the oil is thicker. Instead of picking up oil the engine sucks air in through the worn oil ring with a reduced amount of oil resulting in low oil pressure. The shop thought I was nuts when I asked them to drop the pan on my 2006 Escalade with a 6.0 liter and replace this o ring. They wanted to change the oil pump which is located on the front of the engine and been a total waste of money.

I love my Suburban! Her name is Evergreen Machine - a 2004 2 wheel drive with 240k miles and going strong! I had the transmission rebuilt, though. She would still go, but was missing the 2nd and overdrive gears. She has never left me stranded, but now I probably need o2 sensors and definitely a new instrument cluster (which doesn't work). I have changed the spark plugs and wires, water pump, lower coolant hose, a part for the power steering pump that was messing with the front suspension (forgot the technical term, sorry), plastic coolant fittings at the firewall, and of course oil and filters. I got her with about 210k miles on her and was skeptical, but I have driven her all over the united states and even tow my 4k lb travel trailer! Overall, best truck I've had!

Thanks for the heads up. I have not had any of these issues yet even with over 217,000 miles. My Yukon was handed down to me from my mom at 120,000 miles. She bought it new in 2005 when my step dad passed away. In 2016 mom went into an assisted living apartment and could no longer drive. I’m the oldest of five sons and the only one she would allow to take her out of her apartment. She remembered me the most and the Yukon so it was transferred to me. I moved to Texas and used it to haul furniture and my whippet show dogs. Dad died in August and mom in December. The Yukon still runs great with the AC getting weak and the miles per gallon being 15.6 average so I will be bringing my other vehicle from home on my next visit. The Mercedes E350 gets 22 mpg average which is a whole lot better than the Yukon and the car is easier to park. Plus you can drive faster around curves. So I rather use the Mercedes as my daily driver and save on fuel. That way I will use the SUV for hauling dogs to shows or furniture from one location to another. Thanks again for the updates! 😎

Great tips. The 2003 Z71 Tahoe I bought new from my local dealer is now showing some of these problems; however we have gotten over 325,000 miles out of it so far. Wish I had known about the oil pressure sender problems; years ago, my son and his wife, on a long trip noticed the oil pressure gauge showed wonky readings, and then vehicle cut off at bottom of off-ramp on Interstate, and wouldn't restart. Towed 80 miles to dealership at their destination (free tow with road club); they said oil pump had failed and we had to have that replaced at that dealership for $$$. If I could've gotten it home to check it out, probably could have saved big bucks.

Ground wires are an issue on these models. If you’re having electrical issues, check all your grounds. Throttle body issues as well. With high miles, simply replace that throttle body and your bogging or going dead will often go away. Around 200,000 miles, the window motors start to fail. Just remove and replace them. The air ride system is just something we all deal with, I simply ignore the message. I hope this comment helps someone out there in this crazy world. Good video guys.

[@AcmeRacing]

Anywhere that uses road salt, these were prone to antilock brake problems. Over the course of 170,000 I had the front hubs replaced twice on my 02 Silverado. The first time was corrosion on the tone ring, the second time the wheel bearings were getting worn and causing false antilock activation at low speeds. Fuel lines and brake lines corroded and all had to be replaced too. Don Ellis is right about the rear main seal. On the 4.3 V6 I had the rear main seal replaced twice, and had the intake "gasket" done once. If you're losing coolant and you can't find a leak, it's probably going into your oil.

I just had mine fixed a few months back on my 06 Sierra 1500. It was causing me to lose oil and coolant. Once it was fixed i don't have to refill my coolant anymore and oil very rarely.

I have a 2002 Silverado Z71 with 212000 miles on it. About a month a go the fuel pump gave out, battery lost a cell and the rear brakes had to be replaced due to sticking calipers and all the drive belts were beginning to show their age. This past weekend the oil pressure sensor began to fail, this will cost $400.00 to repair due to the mostly labor cost, they bury the thing on the back of the engine behind the intake manifold. On the plus side it starts well and runs smooth and does not burn oil or leak anywhere. I have replaced the intermediate steering shaft twice along with the lower shaft once. The last time I replace the intermediate shaft it was with a new part number that was to solve the noise problem all together, #19153614, this is a GM part so it fits ok, it's been about 18 month since the replacement, so far so good the noise has not returned. The vehicle has held up well and is pretty much rust free, it gets pressure washed all over when we visit the coast and it is never driven in the surf. Many other parts have been replaced, but it is 19 years old and parts wear out from usage and time. I would buy a new one but they are all beyond reason in price.

My 06 Yukon has 280,000 miles on it and runs, looks, and drives perfect. However, it had the dreaded lifter tick when I bought it. Started to loose oil psi.

I'd change out the blower motor. The bearings can get tight, but not make noise. Or, the motor windings are breaking down and causing a higher amperage draw, which in turn takes out the resistor from overheating it.
