what's that mean?

[RedPossum]

As a noob, I see OBS, NBS, NNBS, at 4T something....what's the Tahoe/Yuk jargon?

 

[NathanJax]

OBS - Old Body Style 1991 - 1999
NBS - New Body Style 2000 - 2006
NNBS - New New Body Style 2007 - 2014

No one has made up their mind on the 2015+ name...

I think the 2015 owners should keep the NNNBS as the reference to there trucks. But should come up with something for the next body style in 5 years.

Thanks. I've been a Ford guy for longer than I can remember. But I came up on the 97 2DR at a deal of $1,700. So I'm just now getting into the Broken Bowtie stuff.

I tried getting into fords a few times and they allways let me down. In my younger days I drove a beat up chev and killed it. It kept going and going. So I stayed with Chevrolet and never looked back. And I never had the money to be come a mopar guy.

10fo. I've always had fantastic luck and history with the blue ovals.

I will give the blue oval some credit, my work truck has 500.000 KM burns oil like crazy makes all kinds of noises but still has a ton of power and keeps going.

2005 F-150 5.4L

or we can refer to them by the gm assigned platform number. i mean it is printed in their books you know.

 

[RedPossum]

What books? Mine didn't even come with a dead hooked in the back. Or s tree air freshner.

What's GMT400 as well?

 

[SunlitComet]

builder books and service manuals.

number system goes further still. a 4wd 4dr tahoe is also known as k10706. 2wd version replaces the k with a c. a 4wd 2dr version is known as a k10516 for example.

Fords, Hondas, and GMs are the only autos that I'll trust for high mileage ownerships

I thought we were talking about high milage....... LOL

Nissan gets high miliage ???

 

[Cameron]

My dad has a nissan pathfinder 2000 model with over 300,000 miles now I'd say nissan is high miles

 

[willua11]

What about Toyotas? Camrys and 4Runners.

Not tundras, I hear that had problems with the robot that installed the piston rings. Trucks would go back for first 5k mile oil change and no oil would come out of the pan.

 

[SunlitComet]

those all get high mileage to 200k and beyond quite regularly.
