I want a Tahoe

[kkirwan71]

Probably wrong section but oh well. In a few weeks or sound tax time which ever time money allows I plan on buying a 4x4 Tahoe. Questions start as:

What problems should I look for?

How common at the ones with the tailgate?

Price range?

And what years should I avoid? ( other than 95)

Anything else I should avoid?

I know there's a lot of knowledge on here so let's discuss

What do you plan on doing with a Tahoe? Towing, lift and 4 wheel, run around truck? I have a 96 with 280K on it and still running strong. Hate to let her go but can't afford to keep three trucks on the road any more. Been a fantastic vehicle. What year range are you looking in, ie OBS, NBS?

id go with barn doors honestly, yes tailgate has better range of vision bu tthey also tear themselves off the hinges as well.

I hear that quite often, but with me being an owner of a 95, I just don't get it.

Yes, the cluster and HVAC controls are different, but 96+ clusters are plug-and-play while the 96+ controls can be used with an adapter harness. 96+ ashtray drops right in too. The 97+ dash fits if you remove the airbag, use the 95 harness, and keep the 97 upper ductwork.

And yes, the tan interior is darker and the 4L60E is an oddball, just like some other years. You got me there. Of course it's still TBI like the earlier years, but I kinda like having the TBI setup with the newer interior. Different strokes, different strokes and all that crap.

Not knocking it that's just what I've heard they're kind of hit and miss but I'm thinking the Tahoe above might become mine soon
