whats up everybody! i just bought a 98 Tahoe LT back in Dec 09 with intentions of trailering my car to the track maybe 10 times a year. im finding out now it needs work like alternator might be bad, idler pulley froze up and needs to be replaced and steering is loose. i was very cautious when shopping for the truck but hey i bought it for 3600 so i should expect these things.

i understand that fuel pump goes dead with out any warning so i might just get that taken care of right off the bat.

NIce! and welcome aboard! Looks like its sagging a bit in the back? Good luck on those repairs!

Welcome to the forum! Nice Tahoe you have there. The fuel pumps can definitely go out on these things. Mine is actually on the brink of not working itself.

Welcome to the site Truck looks pretty straight and clean.

thanks, the rear is sagging a little and im gonna fix it with the firestone airbags since im gonna be doing alot of towing but first have to sort out the out the front end issues first. apparently it needs major work.

OH Lord, $1000 already in repairs for the front end, alternator , and idler pulley lol. i guess the tires and and fuel pump and rear airbogs will have to wait a little bit. still worth it to me though

Lots of repairs so far it sounds like! Hope theres no more hidden ones for you. Those air bags will be a nice addition once you end up adding them.
