    Talk me out of it or into it

    I went from a 2004 Tahoe to a 2014 Expedition EL Limited. I needed space (to haul plywood) and did not like the sloped floor of the Suburban. I'm really happy with my Expedition and the ride is far superior to the Tahoe. I can haul (tow) something like 9500 pounds too. My Tahoe was a great...

    Split Decision... Help me make up my mind!!!

    Actually, mine is a 35' x 8' x 11', 12 ton aluminum missile with 140 gallons of Diesel and 25 gallons of gas in the pony tank for the generator. And 100# of propane. They get bigger from there...

    Split Decision... Help me make up my mind!!!

    That is correct, M3...no CDL, no air brake endorsement. It's registered as a motorhome. I do wish we did need some sort of endorsement to drive them though. Mine weighs 23,000# and anyone ( basic license) can hop behind the wheel. My 700# Harley, I need an endorsement. I drove truck for lots...

    Do a Google search for GM PD 4104. They built 5,000 of them from '53 to '60. Lots still on the road and you can buy them cheap (or not, depending). The 4104 has a Detroit two cycle inline 6/71 Diesel (6 cyl, 71 ci per cyl) with a Spicer 4 speed. The next model up was the PD (Parlor Diesel)...

    Split Decision... Help me make up my mind!!!

    I did just have one of my Buds accuse me of going to the dark side today. He saw my EL and couldn't believe I went with Ford after my Tahoe. They're all good vehicles, but I love it when people are so into theirs that all the others suck. I don't have any Ford tattoos... I do have a GM...

    Split Decision... Help me make up my mind!!!

    Yes it does...I had a few inches on all four sides of the load of plywood I picked up today with my EL. 10 sheets, 4 x 8 x 1/2" Baltic Birch. Had about 700 pounds and it drove like empty. It even sits like it's empty in the pics...

    Split Decision... Help me make up my mind!!!

    I agree with you 100% Mikeyss. I really liked my Tahoe, just not big enough. I like Suburbans too, but I got way more bang for my buck with the Limited Exp-EL. As for smaller vehicles with third row folding seats, my wife's Ford Flex is behind the EL in one of my pics. Third row is always...

    Split Decision... Help me make up my mind!!!

    I had the same problem, but mine is more hauling for work. I have a 2004 Tahoe, and I really like it, but the electronics have been driving me nuts. I was looking at spending $20K on a used Suburban or Expedition EL, with well under 100K miles. Well...I bought a 2014 Exp. EL Limited with...

    You have to replace the whole cluster panel display, right?

    I'm almost done with my Tahoe...

    Some, yes. Next chance I get, I'll put my multi-meter in line with the ground to battery and start checking fuses in the power dist box. I think I still have a draw somewhere, but things are better. Thanks...

    I'm almost done with my Tahoe...

    You know, when he told me to do my own searching, lazy, and whatnot, at first I thought he was right. Then I realized that I joined this forum so I could get info from others without doing a lot of searching and reading. I did come across as a dick at first, but I was pissed and tired. I have...

    I'm almost done with my Tahoe...

    Thanks...I'll be checking voltage into the battery at high idle today, as well as cleaning up any grounds and connections I can find. I will also pull the surround of the dash and check the plug to the display. I'd swap out the batteries, but the spare is a deep cycle with "real" terminals. I...
