My 1995 Tahoe Build Thread

Emerson Amp and Dual 12" Subs
DDM 6000k 35W HIDs with Harness
Xcelerator Muffler
Pennzoil Synthetic Oil
Magnaflow Exhaust Tip
Spectre TBI Spacer
Edelbrock Open Element Air Filter
NBS Master Cylinder

Future Mods:
Mark 8 Efan
LED Interior
TBI Spacer
Fix tiny bit of rust it has
Maybe a bull bar with KCs
Dynomax or Magnaflow Muffler
Undercoat Frame
Chevy Tow Mirrors

For 2400 I'd say that's a good deal. Looks pretty solid to me.

How many miles?

 

[MC153]

how many miles?

183,000

 

[97Tahoe2d4x]

Cool deal for 2400. You just have to shop around for new set of tires now.

 

[Monstar_est87]

Good deal... A LiL TLC and ull b very happy... Ditch the euro tails and go with clear red leds ull love em... And of course the Efan mod...

183,000

If the tranny hasn't been replaced put some money aside for it.

Thanks guys I'm definitely looking for new tires soon, these ones won't pass inspection. I'm ditching all the euro lights cause they won't pass inspection and I'm not to fond of them. I do like the clear leds. Is there a link for the efan mod? Also does anyone know how to shut that noisy clutch up? The tranny I think has been rebuilt because it has extremely clean fluid, I'll have to carfax it to see if anything shows up.

When I got mine the engine was spotless ... I mean like you could literally eat off the intake clean, figured it was rebuild or replaced. It was 100% stock, just cleaned really well so be careful w that.

Not a bad purchase at all.

 

[MC153]

Thanks everyone for letting me know I didn't get screwed. I've got all stock lights in the mail to get rid of those ugly clear/euro lights, new center caps, and I gotta find a new license plate bracket for the front. After all that I plan on getting 35W 6000k HIDs.

Looks solid. Price sounds decent. Coulda got one for a little less but that's a fair price. Also welcome bro

To bluish. 5k will be as close as you can get to direct sun light with no color temperature effects on what you see.

I'll have to remember that when I buy them. Thanks.

Thanks. I didn't even plan on getting this, I was looking for s10 blazers when I found it so I didn't know the prices.

 

[Monstar_est87]

Still u ended up with a very good truck... If ur good to her she'll b good to u... Any small minor things that need to b fixed or replaced sure they are probably just routine so its not and issue so dont sweat it... Ull b happier in the end...

 

[RedCrush]

nice buy! I have 6000K in mine and I am very please. A little money goes a long way with these vehicles. Maintenance is key....

 

[MC153]

Thanks. I'm a little confused if I want 6000k or 5000k. I do like a blue tint but I don't want the lights to be all blue. I've heard 6000k sucks in the rain too. IF someone can tell me if 5000k ddm have a tint of blue I will get them instantly.

 

[MC153]

I just ordered 6000k . I looked at everyone's photos that were running them and it seems like what I want. If they're too blue I'll just have to buy 5000k down the road. On a different subject,how long did it take for you guys to get your lights from DDM?

 

[SunlitComet]

If they do i never see it except maybe during start up but after so many seconds it's like looking at welding going on. The higher you go after 5k the more difficult it will be to see ANYTHING.
