'04 yukon xl here. Spent its life in Michigan so its showing its age. I had a lot of eratic electrical issues, no starts its completly dead, lights and radio dont turn off. Gauges stop working and are incorrect alot. 272K miles on original engine, it has been supercharged for 120K of that, uses oil and a bit noisy but still strong. Im on my 3rd transmission, its a known weakness. Check the suspension codes, the z55 and zw7 options are more expensive to replace. Ive replaced wheel bearing twice, a set of control arms and bushings, our roads suck big time here.

Overall its been a pretty good vehicle. I love the room with the 3rd seat removed, only bad thing is the poor mileage but it does run on e85 which is great for the supercharger.

Sounds like you found a nice truck, should treat you well for a long time.
