Tahoe Owner From Hell Paso,TX

[915_Tahoe]

FIRST OFF, 01 TAHOE 4X4 BASE MODEL WAS ORIGINALLY PURCHASED FOR THE MOTHER-IN-LAW. SHE OWNED IT FOR ABOUT 6-7 YEARS AFTER WE GOT HER ANOTHER VEHICLE WHICH WAS 05 TRAILBLAZER.
WHEN WE BOUGHT THE TRUCK HAD SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH IT WHICH WAS NEVER DISCLOSED TO USE WHEN WE BOUGHT IT OFF CRAIGSLIST, MY FAULT OF COURSE. TRANSFER CASE WAS SHOT, REAR WINDOW REGULATOR WAS NO GOOD, ORIGINAL OWNER SPLICE THE AFTERMARKET RADIO STRAIGHT TO THE SPEAKER HARNESS TO THE AMP THE LIST GOES ON.
I NEVER GAVE IT A SECOND THOUGHT OF KEEPING THE TRUCK, SO IT SAT FOR ABOUT A YEAR AT MY HOUSE. OCCASIONALLY I WOULD START IT AND TAKE IT TO WORK. SELLING IT WAS ON MY MIND, BUT WASN'T SURE IF I'D EVEN GET ANYTHING OUT OF IT. SO ONE DAY THE WIFE AND I DECIDED TO KEEP IT AND STARTED GETTING IT READY FOR NEW LIFE.

THE BEST THING IS THAT I WORK FOR CHEVROLET DEALER IN PARTS, SO I GET ALL THE SWEET DISCOUNTS AND HARD TO FIND PIECES FROM OTHER DEALERS. IF YA'LL NEED AND HELP LET ME KNOW.

??? a 2001 has a EGR valve? that must have been a one off for that year, weird.

 

[915_Tahoe]

Yeah 00-02 NBS had the EGR

I hope aside from transfer case nothing else in the drive train is screwed, that stuff can get expensive real quick. Keep us updated, I been wrenching on mine since I got it, and had to fix a lot of things the previous owner had hacked, or needed repair. Transmission/transfer case/rear diff/ lots and lots of seals that leaked full tune up, fluids, brakes/rotors. etc.... The only thing left to do to be 100% roadworthy is an alignment and rear main seal that drives me nuts when I find my drop stained driveway by the end of the week.

My 02 yuk doesn't have the EGR, yet I can see an EGR function active on torque app. Weird.

My 01 has a EGR valve. I had to replace it because it was sticking open and the truck idled like crap.
Oh yea....and a freon leak on the hose that is too tight because of the body lift.
