You know you drive a Tahoe when...

[SunlitComet]

I call mine a truck. As if I used for tow and hauling things and has 4wd it's a truck. SUV is associated with x3 BMW and Honda CRV and this is not one of those "cars" so I'm a truck refuse association with a "lifted car"

those are compact suv or crossovers as they are called now. the tahoe and suburban are FULL SIZE SUV'S. just because it has 4wd does not mean it is a truck. cars have 4wd too. and the can tow and haul stuff too. be one with the OBS force. Don't fall to the crossover dark side.

I dont see soccer moms driving around in lifted trucks with oversized all terrains much either. I wanted a truck but I got this instead after getting in it and driving it. Nobody has to ride b**ch in the yukon. Haha

i call mine a truck too... but then again i call my mustang a truck half the time too...lol always drove trucks so whatever im driving at the time is refered to as "the truck" lol

I call mine a truck but it is also a SUV. I consider crossovers and small "SUV's" station wagons because they serve the same purpose and have the same limited capabilities.

when your mechanic says to a check engine light "this code is a first for me...engine misfire when off-road" and responds that "it has to be your famously bad fuel pump going out"

 

[SunlitComet]

i think your mechanic is "famously bad".

 

[98 2-DOOR]

he may be, but he solved the problem

Time to revive this thread...

You know you drive a Tahoe when
1. You have to explain to your GF why it's called my Hoe and your response is it's the only thing that cost more than you do.
2. Your credit card statment doubles because you traded your 30mpg 15gal tank car in for a 15mpg 26gal tank @$3.90 per gallon
3. You spend more time looking at parts you want to buy but know you cant because you still have a list of broken shit
4. You read straigth through 35 pages laughing at similar fixes and scared about future problems!!!

When you are seriously considering a SAS to get just 4" of lift.

 

[YuCanada]

You know you drive a Tahoe/Yukon when all your friends would rather get in your truck, than drive their own cars.

 

[Stang&Hoe]

when you and your wife are planning a vacation that requires driving 400 miles one way and decide to take the 11mpg tahoe instead of the 20mpg mustang or the 26mpg crown vic...

when you spend more time looking at suspension lifts and tires for the tahoe than cams for the hotrod mustang

when you watch the fuel pump at the gas station and wonder if its ever gonna stop...
then when it finally does stop you say youre gonna stop driving the hoe everywhere...then you get back in the hoe and change your mind again and keep driving it everywhere anyway

when you have driven roads around your house just to find a decent mudhole that doesnt require too much fuel to get to from the house

when you crank the truck and cant even hear your new exhaust over the fuel pump, piston slap, and gale force engine fan

when you really want to wash the hoe but dont because you kinda like it muddy

when the only vehicle you can think of that has worse looking stock wheels is a Berretta...

 

[Crowder99Yukon]

When your friends are jealous of the greatness that is the Tahoe/ yukon

 

[Knowsknone]

When every week you have to play the find the mysterious noise game.

Fix one, week later a new noise. Lol.

 

[Gzes]

When you barely drive it and it uses more gas then when you drive the shit out of any car

 

[Y2KpewterZ]

So true about the gas gauge being on a trampoline, back windows only going down 3 inches, everyone calling it a Suburban, noisy fuel pump and the intake gasket issues lol.. heres some of mine..

Youre first 'engine mod' is capping off the vortec box and doing the diffuser plate mod.
The driver side heated seat is inop due to the seat wearing out and the heating element shorting out.
The blower motor makes a clicking noise except on high speed.
Your cold beverage you place in the dash cup holder gets warm in the winter, if you have heat coming out of the vents..
Youre friends cant seem to understand your passion for a 13+ year old ex-mommy-takin-kids-to-soccer-games suv.
Same with your girlfiend..lol
When searching an RPO code database you leave out L31, G80, AU3, GT4, Z82 and Z71 because its now "common knowledge"
Personally for me.. You own a low mileage, fully loaded F150... but buy an older high milage Tahoe to daily drive.

 

[SunlitComet]

hmmm, is says tahoe on the vehicle emblem attached to the back.

 

[noJeepshere]

What is this diffuser plate mod you speak of?

 

[SunlitComet]

there is a inanimate object riveted to the bottom throttle blade. it is used to "soften" the air flow going down the the bore to smooth out the acceleration. helps with the progressiveness of the throttle. you can repalce the blade with one that does not it or just get a ported tb that has it done as well.
