2008 Tahoe Hybrid part out
I assume you're talking about the $4500 lifter repair. Dealer claimed need to pull the engine as part of the job. Line item on estimate was called "Cylinder Head - Valve - Lifter / Lash Adjuster". But yeah, starting to sound like overkill. BTW, another line item on the estimate was "Engine...- Toolin

2008 Tahoe Hybrid part out
Well I guess blue book price doesn't really apply now anyway given the condition. Lowest KBB rating is "fair" and I doubt "won't start" meets that level. They don't appear to have a "parts car" condition category. Just out of curiosity I clicked Fair and it came back with about $5500 but...- Toolin

2008 Tahoe Hybrid part out
I assume you're talking about shipping the full vehicle. Yeah, that would put a dent in the value proposition. What's the destination? I suppose it's better to just part it out. If you're still interested in the battery by itself let me know and maybe you can help me determine it's age. I...- Toolin

2008 Tahoe Hybrid part out
Each seating position is a little "buckety" but I would still call it a bench, although it has a 30/70 split. Passenger side folds down then flips forward to provide access to 3rd row. Pics attached. A little dusty.. needs a wipe down.- Toolin

2008 Tahoe Hybrid part out
That's certainly food for thought.. I never considered that the (very) rough engine could be due to low fuel pressure due to the fuel line leak. I just took the dealership's word that some lifters had collapsed. I'm pretty sure the dealer didn't inspect the lifters directly so maybe they just...- Toolin

2008 Tahoe Hybrid part out
Regarding interest in salvaging lightweight body elements: deer strike mentioned in original post slightly dented the hood (could probably be pounded out), crumpled front left fender ahead of wheel well, cracked grill and bumper, and destroyed left front headlamp. Rear hatch and appliques are...- Toolin

2008 Tahoe Hybrid part out
The vehicle is a 2008. Not sure if the battery is original or a replacement, if that's what you're asking in terms of how old it is. I only bought the vehicle 2 years ago so I don't know it's full history. If there is a label I can look at for battery mfg date let me know where to look...- Toolin

2008 Tahoe Hybrid part out
Hi, I have a 2008 Chevy Tahoe Hybrid that is not driveable due to collapsed lifters and a couple other issues, including that a deer decided to do some bodywork on the left front corner around the same time. I guess when it pours it rains. I bought it in 2018 and got to drive it for all of 2...- Toolin
