    I've never seen one of the these

    That body's front end really bother's me. The rounded edges and corners of the hood/grill/bumper looks funny with the boxed look of the rear.

    One of my tenants just bought this

    That screams new body style. Not seeing any '96. Maybe you can get some follow-info.

    Coming soon! My '98 Sub build. Something different

    You had me at "5000 miles in 6 days. The 99 Tahoe was killing it!" Sorry to hear about the string of bad luck you've had. But congrats on your new grandson. Life moves on...we just need to keep strong and keep up. Don't go balls hard...go hard balls!!!

    Hi from New Zealand

    That's a great point....In America we should make all our cars with the driver side on the right so that we don't have to step out of the car into oncoming traffic. Who was the Einstein that decided to put the driver on the left ?! Was it Henry Ford?:chewie:

    1997 Yukon GT 4x4

    Holy cow you must have a good reason for parting with it. I've had my '95 since 2000...it's my first long-term girlfriend.

    Best way to create a two door Tahoe/Yukon with new components?

    I'm still waiting for GM to build a 2DR Tahoe reboot like FORD did with the Bronco this year. That would be sick.

    Your Preferred Motor Oil?

    All good....everyone' been more than helpful...the peanut gallery just threw me. BTW what brand of glass cleaner is suggested for the wiper refill? Should I go with a concentrated formula?

    Oil For A Tired Motor

    I'll start with run of the diagnostics. This motor is due for some well deserved attention. I've kinda been neglectful....focusing on other life's challenges.

    Oil For A Tired Motor

    The engine oil level stays pretty steady. No smoking/not a drop of leaking.

    Oil For A Tired Motor

    I live in a pretty warm climate. You have a good point about putting more wear on the motor...making it work harder. I was just thinking a higher viscosity oil would help with cylinder compression.

    Oil For A Tired Motor

    By "Tired" I mean low in power - especially top-end. Low-end still feels kinda good and it's pretty responsive. The wires and plugs are almost new. I def feel like i have a compression problem. There's no exhaust leak either. The motor has 215k.

    Oil For A Tired Motor

    My '95 has a pretty tired motor and over the past 20 years I have to admit I haven't kept up with the oil changes as I should.

    Are we just talking about getting a 4X4 towed? The tow company should have a flat bed.
