Daff, too funny... It's a Yukon Denali XL... Has a gas engine in it for now, the 6.0 but I might swap in a duramax later on. Not sure how many projects I want or can tackle at once. Like I said though, pics to follow once I pick it up.

I think you will really like that 6.0! I know I love mine, mounted in a 3/4 ton Suburban it pulls the boat fine!

Here are two pics I snapped real quick after bringing it home. Going to go through it and clean it up real good, detail the interior and exterior and then start tinkering a little.

Nice! I enjoyed my 6.0 and it pulled without any issues. A duramax swap?!? Thats one hell of a project!

This truck has been babied. All it has done since 2003 is make the occasional run from the western suburbs of Chicago to just west of Madison Wisconsin for a few years and for the past four years, it only pulled an airplane out of the hangar once or twice a year, hence the hitch on the front below the license plate. Couldn't be happier so far but then again, I haven't had to visit a gas station yet.

Sweet ride! I'm a diehard GMC guy. The Denali has such a good ride. Don't know if the '03 has fuel management but I put in $100 on every fill up. My new '11 gets babied too! Only drive it on weekends so just over 2k on mileage since first of October. Only fill it up every 3-4 weeks.
I haven't driven it on any long trips but average over 15 mpg just lead footing it around the city.
It is so hard for me to keep my foot off the gas cause I really love listening to the exhaust of my 6.2L.
How many miles does it have? Does it have the tan or black interior?
I don't think you would need to do the engine swap on a babied 6.0, but that would make an awesome thread.
