Hello All. 1999 Chevy Tahoe Owner Here.

[N813]

Been lurking here for a while now. A lot of good info here. Thanks to everyone that shares and helps people trouble shoot problems. You guys have been a big help to me.

My 1999 Chevy Tahoe. 2 wheel drive, 4inch lift. Has 247,000 miles. New crate motor has approx 10,000 miles and new transmission has about 5,000 miles on it. I drive it everyday, I use it for work. At first I bought it because I needed something right away and the price was right. I also needed something that I felt comfortable working on if anything were to break because mechanics now a days cost a lot of money. Thank god my dad taught me how to work on shit and trouble shoot. Anyways, just wanted to introduce myself and share some pics out of Ojai, Ca.

What are you guys using for rust prevention? Theres a place by me that charges 300 to undercoat the whole truck in fluid film. Is that a good deal?

My Suburban was undercoated prior to my purchasing it. But even that has become pretty compromised over the years. I drive that rig strictly during the heavily salted months around here. The Suburban is the "sacrifice" vehicle so we don't have to drive the Tahoe in those elements(it gets stored for the winter).

I have never used any type of rust protection on any of our vehicles however there is a local Krown Rust Control facility that sprays a protective oil on the undercarriage. Last I heard it was around $200 IIRC. Sounds like it's something that needs to be done nearly every season for it to be effective in the long haul.

Right. Probably the same fluid film or woolwax stuff
