I found my dream Tahoe

mikeyss · Jul 20, 2017

I'm getting excited, the Tahoe will be done at the body shop on Monday or Tuesday at the latest. Spending around 3k for the door repair, and all the other small areas that needed touched up. From what the body shop told me, the color is really hard to match, so almost the entire Tahoe, minus the roof, will be new paint. I have never spent much money on paint before on other cars I've had in my life, this one is worth it though.

Is the 6.2 Tahoe a unicorn? I didn't even know that existed.

Nice rig, I'm jealous!!

Any plans for the side trim mouldings $ ? I'd be interested in them....

Do y'all know if GM also put the L9H in the regular Suburban/Yukon XL as well?

I'm sorry, but they got pretty banged up coming off. They got bent and the paint flaked off in places as I pulled them off.

The Yukon Denali XL had the L9H, but unfortunately there were no L9H Suburban's. There were a few years that the Suburban LTZ came with a L76 6.0. I think the 08-09 were the only ones though. The Suburban 2500 came with the LY6 6.0 from 2007-2012.

Thanks. So only the short wheelbase Tahoe got that motor then. I did know about the 6.0 for the 1500s but there was no higher tow rating by having that engine. I was considering a 2500 with the LY6, but every one was way over priced and plum wore out and or beat up.

Progress is being made!! Should be getting painted today, and I should get it back on Tuesday.

Looks like the Tahoe will be done tomorrow, they broke a door handle so they have to replace it. They sent me a few pictures through email, and I'm really excited now!!
I'll get better pictures once it's home!!

Finally got the Tahoe back, but I can't really wash and detail it. It looks so awesome now, here are some pictures. I will eventually get some interior shots since I took it all apart and cleaned everything square inch, and added more padding.
