If you truly do not want to get rid of it, then start saving up for a new motor and transmission. It would be a beast with a cammed 6.0 in there.

Well, I just bought mile with 243K on it. Mine the good old TBI. to me, these trucks are virtually indestructible, so I made the choice to lose the big payment and go this route. Good truck, great reviews, can't go wrong with these.

I wouldnt sell it. Finding a 2 door tahoe for sale around where i live is like finding gold in your piss. There are maybe 4 that i know of. Trust me, you'll regret selling it the day after.

Is this rig your DD or can you afford another vehicle without selling it by storing it away in the garage and becoming a toy?

I agree...I don't think we are putting you down...but I personally hate to see you give up on her because she's up there in miles...engines and trannys are cheap compared to these new cars. But, in the end, its totally up to you to decide what you will do.

Miles are just a numbers. Maintanence is what keeps your Hoe alive. If all you are concerned about is MPGs, get rid of the Hoe.

If someone was going to get a loan to buy your truck, why would you turn him away?

What have you done to the Tahoe? Or, did you buy that way?

"trick car", hah. Not a fan of the "ricer" look. It would look a hell of a lot better one solid color without the ground effects and that rediculous wing. Thats just my .02.

Its completely up to you and from the sounds of it, you like the Honda. Go for it.

Drive it and take good care of it. Easy enough. That's what I'm doing for the next 2 years until I can afford another truck.

I want to find another OBS truck once my Snap-On box is paid for, but there pretty rare to find in good condition now a day's. Keep it if you got one, IMO.

i bought the truck the way it sits . . . i got on this sight for ideas and

ta tlk bout it but i ran outa money pretty quick so i lost intrist in the

truck i guess . . . the only good thing about my truck that i don't see

in most other guys trucks is it is completly 100% rust free . . . im not

just worryd bout mpg's i mean im a fan of just about anything but if

i was to ever run into a situation where i needed money i don't have

a guarentee of geting my moneys worth with the truck . . . i'v had many

vehicles if i didn't make a profit off them i broke even . . . numbers to

someone else is just an easy way to say its not worth what it should be

besides i think id be better off getn rid of it now until i can have another

vehicle as my dd . . . its pain in the ass putn my kids in an out of the

truck

Don't you have a Camaro too? Why not get rid of that and get something more practical?

Random Question. You say you're out of money. Do you have a job?
