How often are hoses and belts change on a 2001 Yukon? Thinking of buying a 2001 Yukon..has only 64k miles, but 2nd owner said he has not done anything to the car other than regular oil change. He bought the car when it has 15k miles...only concern I have is he's only driven car 17k miles in 70 months..thats only about 290 miles per month..car is in great shape (garaged)...interior looks a little more worn for a 64k miles car? (he has kids)..I able to get truck at very good price ......oh...owner has new wheels 22 Boss Rims and new tires..it's a steal at $9900 cash...should I buy it without mechanical inspection since mileage is so low?

check your gearbox fluid level may need topped up.

Head gasket or cracked blocked

The owners manual gives recomended things to look for every 3k-5k miles. Generally though, major services are done at 30k, 60k, and 90k miles and oil and filters are done with an inspection of belts, hoses, tires, brakes, and fluids at the oil changes, with filters changed as needeed at that time. I would recomend changing the brake fluid out, flush the cooling system, and giving it a good look over since it's 5years old, then you'll be good till your 90k service / inspection. Change your oil every 3-4k miles, check your tires once a week when you get gas. Your timing belt may be coming up for replacing also, but look at the manual. You may not need to do that till 100k miles. When it does come time though, I'd change the idlers / bearings and the tentioner while it's apart, that way all the spinning parts will be new. If the water pump is in there also, and it has'nt been done yet, I'd do it too. You don't want a coolant leak 3-6 months later after all the other work was done. Save up now for it and you won't be hit with a shocker bill when you get the work done. Plan on 2 days and about $1200.00 for parts and labor.

your answer will be in your owners manual

Timing belt change interval is 75,000 miles.

It's time to change the T-Belt and water pump now.

Water pump is directly behind the timing belt cover.

It's best to get the water pump done at the same time.

At 35,000 miles, no, I wouldn't worry about the hoses, or the belt. I have a 150,000 miles on my vehicle, and never changed either one.

the owners manual will have a list. most of the time when people are going to sell or trade in a vehicle, they do NOTHING maint wise. I would start from scratch and replace ALL FLUIDS, trans service ,fuel filters spark plugs ect.

Definitely do the timing belt & plugs if not done already! Depending on how the job goes $300-$500. Rear drum brakes on these cars have a tendency to last a VERY long time(I've seen 150,000 miles) because the majority of the braking gets done in the front.

bang on the door and move the switch.if there is a dead spot,it may work.
99 percent motor

coolant flush and fill.. differential oil changed out ( assuming you have done trans service already also ) .. driveline (u-joints) and steering linkage lubed , fuel filter(s)..and all belts /hoses inspected ... have fun :)
