I have a serious problem!

[EOD_Tech Infidel]

I need to sell one maybe two. Which would you keep/sell? and why?

1999 Tahoe Sport 4x4 18x,*** miles, 8k on new crate motor and built transmission.

2005 Tahoe Z71 4x4 185,xxxx miles, absolute work horse.

2013 Tahoe Z71 4x4 119k miles, recently purchased for the 6 speed. great truck so far.

1st world problems but I seriously need to sell something. Any opinions/ feedback are welcome

I would keep the GMT800 (middle of the road on technology, enough to be reliable, powerful and get decent gas mileage, but not too overly complicated.) A lot of GMT800s are now in the 300k-400k range.

Second option would be the GMT900 (a bit newer, nicer, and more features, but a few more things to worry about, including the transmission.)

This is assuming you want/need a reliable daily driver vehicle, of course.

Yea, that's where I'm torn the OBS and NBS have been very reliable minus the A/C system in the OBS , easy to fix but man black truck with no A/C in Texas is rough.

Do you have a personal preference?
If not why not just list all three priced aggressively, take the best two deals, and keep the one that’s left.

I hear you. I've got an OBS truck, also with an AC that doesn't work, LOL. No AC in Texas absolutely sucks. Mine is not a daily driver (truck for dump runs). I avoid driving in hot weather though.

 

[OR VietVet]

No question, keep the 2005 Tahoe Z71. Ask me why or look at my signature.

Keep the 2013 Tahoe, just because.

Sell the 1999 Sport. Black in heat, no. No a/c in hot, no. Lifted, NO!

I had a 1996 Tahoe Sport 2 door and wish I had it but love my GMT800.

Dallas TX here. My 84 pickup and 78 Suv have been my daily drivers until I bought myself the 2002 this month. 84 pickup has no AC and it is NO FUN. I drove 2 weeks ago to Tulsa and back and I must have drank 6-8 bottles of water. Sweated a lot. Never needed a "comfort break" so that was a good thing I guess. I'm hopeful to do an AC conversion this winter though....

Point is if you want to sell the non-AC, time it in the peak of winter. Best time to sell !!

I've seen videos of AC evap replacement done quite easily on the GMT800s so that's great. OBS evap replacement seems like a bear.

Flip those wing windows around on the '84

 

[ivin74]

Sell the obs and nbs.

NNBS VS NBS
Front struts vs torsion bar
Rack & pinion steering vs steering gear
6 speed tranny vs 4spd
13 in disc front brakes vs 12 in
320hp vs 295hp
More creature comforts
Better insulation(less road noise)
Nicer interior
Lower miles

 

[89Suburban]

IMHO the '05 is the most comfortable of the 3.

 

[OR VietVet]

2005 GMT800= Most comfortable seats.

^×2, that is a fact

Yes I do in the city, but doing 75 on the highway I have the rear window open .. it also has kick panel vents. No problems while cruising ever

Another point to consider is insurance. If you kept the 99 you can insure it with Hagerty. Cheap $350 /yr for full coverage. Your other 2 wouldn’t qualify as they are not classic trucks yet.

Lol I like them all for different reasons. I thought abbout doing exactly what you suggested just haven't pulled the trigger.

The '99 is actually currently getting the A/C fixed. I love the lifted look and it rides well enough but I would leave it stock if I could go back in time. When I originally lifted it I was going to do a full SFA and LS swap. I ended up deploying again and it just took a back seat to the other projects. Still a great truck though.

If you have to get rid of two, dump the OBS first - least comfortable, reliable, practical, etc. Then you just have to decide which of the other two you like best. (I'm partial to NNBS - they have their issues, but they're known and once you get through the list you have a pretty sweet ride, especially with 6 speed)

If you can get away with getting rid of just one - make the same decision as above, but keep the OBS. Save it for a time when you can put some $$/time into it because OBS 2-doors are sweet!

Old square bodies are my absolute favorite! Keep those! I passed on my dads very clean K-5 for $5k 20 years ago, kicking myself ever since lol.

All fair points and I really like the 2013, but I will say the '05 is one of the most comfortable rides I've had and it's built real solid. I'm the second owner and it was very well taken care of. Only issue I really have with the nnbs is the cheap plastics and body panels.
