2005 Tahoe LT, I've had it since August of 2019. I ended up selling my 2000 BMW 528i daily driver. So now this bad boy will take it's place. It currently has the stock 17" wheels. Tomorrow i pick up some 20" gmc sierra wheels. I'll post some pics soon.

P.S Tahoe currently has 115,000 miles.

193k. Seems weak compared to some numbers posted above! I had my trans rebuilt approx. 10k. PPV however so I am wondering if it was abused.

Had 145 when I got it. Now at 151. At one point a few months ago I was using it for work. But extra money was not worth in long run. I only live 3 miles from work and I do a little garage sale cruising on weekends. If this was a normal year I would have more miles. But since I am not racing BMX a lot. Truck does a lot of sitting

My '03 LT currently has around 96K on it. Here's a pic of it in Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park in Colorado. Pretty neat place if you're ever in the area.

About to change the water pump to try and figure out this grinding noise that happens when I turn the A/C on.

Figure might as well since it's only like $200 worth of parts and seems like it won't take too long. Hope it's not the A/C compressor! That looks a lot more involved

When my daughter's water pump started going out, there was no sound... I think you are firing the parts cannon prematurely. You might want to stick your head in the engine bay and trouble shoot a bit more. My understanding is that if the water pump is on the way out, it starts castinging off coolant via the weep hole. So unless you have a coolant leak, it probably is not the water pump.

Good to know. I figure I might as well since it'll only cost me a couple hundred bucks and a few hours of my time. Troubleshooting and preventive maintenance in one! But I'll probably change my mind and stick the mechanics stethoscope on stuff again

I'm just impressed your gear indicator is still working lmao
It wasn't completely out, but it was getting pretty dim. A few years ago I did the repair of resoldering all of the resistors on the cluster circuit board that are part of the display circuit. GM had a problem back then with their solder joints not holding up very well.

Yep, I keep telling myself one of these days I'll yank my cluster out and give it a shot but have been lazy. Congrats on hitting 200k! I'm knocking on the door of 220k and still love everything about the truck (which I bought new in February 2006).

Yeah, it's been a great truck. Bought it new Memorial Day 2005. The drive train is all original, just the usual maintenance. Body, interior and chassis are all in great shape and everything works like it should. I see no reason why it shouldn't go another 200k.
