    Depreciation!

    Newest generation of GM SUV's are so outlandishly priced, the only way for them to go, is not just depreciate, but nosedive. Last new Truck I bought has held it's value somewhat decent (F150 Ecoboost CC 4x4) however, I told my wife i'm DONE buying BRAND New vehicles, and that's why I went...

    In the market

    I towed a 78 z28 from Chicago down to St Louis with a 190hp 4.3L 4x4 Jimmy many years ago on a dolly. So to say a heavier Tahoe with a 5.3L can't handle camping trailer, ya know.....should be easy My Jayco 12 foot popup is pretty light in the 2,000 lbs realm. Any V8 can pull it easily.

    2007 Tahoe Z71 w/ 200k+ Road Trip?

    Anything can go at any moment at any mileage beyond say 100,000. Just had a motor shit the bed with only 129,000 on a 2002. It was insanely clean too. All in all yes, you take a risk with a higher mileage engine, and anything with unknown. So if you've got fresh fluids, fresh plugs, wires...

    2011 Tahoe Z71 with 129,000 miles. Buy or no??

    $17,000 for a 2011 with 129K on it ??? Just so you know, I just spent $5,000 on a mint 2002 LS 4x4 with 129K on it, and 1 week after I bought it the oil pump failed, and the engine had to be replaced. Why?? Replacement of oil pump required 20 hours of labor to pull engine, and I demanded a...

    Best insurance company for Tahoe?

    There is no such thing as "Best insurance for Tahoe" It goes by area, demographics, Age, years driving, FICO Scoring, driving history, risk assessments, etc. What you have to do is rate shop companies every 2-3 years tops, because they are all increasing rates 300% or more of inflation. It's...

    CreepinDeth has arrived!!!

    Only interior shot I have on my phone, this is after I updated the DoubleDin dash bezel from 2003+ Silverado, and installed Doubledin Kenwood headunit, with backup camera. The leather in these wasn't the best, so I opted for the charcoal cloth, which is more durable.

    Tune recommendations for 02 Tahoe with 04 motor.

    Bought a 2002 2 months ago, motor shit the bed @ 129K with a oil pump failure. Got it swapped under warrranty for a 2004 5.3L with 110K but I can't really confirm if the ECM was swapped. My question is, what improvements can be made for power & efficiency that are CONFIRMED. I know everyone...
