keep my 2002 tahoe (high on miles but never had an issue from this truck until now with it saying its running lean. i just cleaned the maf with some cnc maf cleaner, gonna clean the throttle body tomorrow and replace hoses and pvc... hopefully i wont have a lean code anymore....)

but im thinking of checking out some trucks tomorrow.. 2005 navigator (ultimate) 2007 suburban and a 2007 tahoe....
might switch it up... which truck would you choose "IF" you were to trade up?

i love chevy's but that navi with 24s or 26's simply look amazing. i love the interior too... so tempting

honestly, all 07's scare me. You know what they say about new body styles' and problems. Some have issues with 07's, and some dont...me, I miss the first new year.

Just my $.02

its either find out the issues with the tahoe and get um fixed or switch up to a different truck...
i just found a 04 navi with 92k miles for only 10,700... that may be the move. saves money too for stereo, rims and 10% tint...
my fiance already made her mind up LOL

if it has the 5.4 i would shy away because of the cam phaser issue.. replaced 4-5 of them with my dad and the dealer wants a ridiculous amount to replace.. they go out about every 40-50k and throw timing off so the truck sounds odd like its knocking almost.

I had a 2007 tahoe, one of the first from my local dealership. Bought it in 2006 and never had a problem with it. The interior was awesome. There were times I never knew the engine was running wehn parked. As a matter of fact, I never even heard the engine when driving. I loved the tahoe. I traded it in with my camaro for a town and country mini van :(

really what about expo's with 5.4s? my uncle has a 2004 expo with a 5.4, bought it new and right now has over 170k miles and he said he hasnt had one issue from his engine.
he replaced an alt at 120k, thats it...i dont know if navi's even come with 4.8s.. ive personally never seen one

not like im not gonna have it checked out by my family mechanic. he wont let me buy something thats gonna give me issues.
92k isnt anything serious to me i bought my tahoe 4 years ago with 89k on it and it has A LOT more now lol
its a flat out awesome looking truck. its super clean inside and out, engine runs strong and quiet
