Brandonrcm Posted December 16, 2011 Report Posted December 16, 2011 This weekend I'm planning on looking at some Tahoes, don't really know what to look for, I read in orionstang's thread that transmissions are a weak point in the Tahoes/burbs/trucks. What else should I be looking for? Only thing set I have to have so far is vortec motor, dont want a pre 96. Ive owned a 95 Suburban before but that thing was a shit box put too much money in it because I didnt know really what I was looking at, Budgets around 3800-4500 at max. Quote
Brandonrcm Posted December 18, 2011 Author Report Posted December 18, 2011 Anyone? Going to look at some tomorrow morning, was going to today but had to work. Quote
bassahaulic Posted December 18, 2011 Report Posted December 18, 2011 I wish you luck. With that budget you won't really get a good one. People want way to damn much for them. Quote

The original body style ones actually aren't that much. I dont care if it has 150k miles or 170k for that matter as long as it runs good, The 00+ is the ones Ive seen going for alot more, in my price range theres quiet a few on craigslist Quote
kryptonite Posted December 18, 2011 Report Posted December 18, 2011 Ask for an service records, if they have them see what has been done. Look at brake lines, fuel lines, tread on tires, see if u can look through the wheel at the brake pads, check the axles for leaks at seals, find out if the differential fluid has ever been changed, find out what the oil change interval was and what kind of oil was put in, 3000 miles per change is a good number. Whether it was highway or city driving.
