Tonyrodz's Tahoe Build Thread

[Rocket Man]

Funny, until recently I never heard any kind of leak--granted it's my gf's dd. She's actually the one that noticed the leak and told me about it.

Like mine, probably kind of hard to hear with that loud-ass exhaust...

Lol, true.

So, is the ticking gone?

Yes sir. No more ticking. Now it's squealing from the tensioner pulley. Just did it like a month ago.

Loving the build thread so far, Tony. Had to take a break to reply to this little nugget...

Remember Silverado was a trim level along with Cheyenne and custom deluxe and Tahoe was a trim option on the S10 , so there

Funny story regarding all of this. I had a 1984 S10 Durango.



Truck was a complete POS, but I'll never forget the confused looks I got about it.

Thx for the read.
Was that a trim level? Almost looks like someone stuck the nameplate under the S10. I love that body style. I used to have a 91 Sport S10. Loved it.

I had a 92 S10 and it was the first truck I lowered. The thing handled great and had a 5-speed stick. I would feather the clutch a bit and take off in 2nd and redline it. It surprised a lot of other drivers how fast it was. But I crashed it. A few times. Then sold it, still driving.

They were awesome little trucks. Mine was a nice electric blue wuth the dugital dash and blacked out trim--sport package. Got rud of it because the paint started peeling pretty bad. GM had primer/paint issues back then. That 4.3 was great.

My first ride was a '91 2-door Blazer with the Tahoe trim level. Pearl white with charcoal/dark gray interior, fully loaded, digital gauges... Lots of memories.

Yeah mine started peeling too but it didn't matter, it was so smashed up. One time I was racing some guy on the freeway and I was doing about 90 in the right lane to get around slower traffic when some moron merged at about 40 and I couldn't avoid them so I did a bumper-car and they got an immediate speed boost. I followed them past 2 exits but they never pulled over. The front of my truck was pretty messed up and my grill was back on the freeway someplace. Then a week later since my hood wasn't latching so good, it flew up and smashed the windshield when I was on the freeway. That was scary, trying to pull over with the hood in my face. Good times lol.
