Got a 2000 thats actually an obs. 350 small block. 355k miles. All original except the radiator and water pump. Ill never sell it. Yeah, they're a little heavy and 14mpg sucks, but its been in the family since day 1 and new cars don't last.

I have THREE GMT400s….a 93 Suburban K2500, a 97 Tahoe 2-door and a 99 Tahoe 4-door. I love them all! (I bought the 97 2-door from one of the USAF Thunderbird pilots. He was the original owner.)

It's amazing how you grow to love these things. Mine I got with 59k on it a bunch of years ago. I'm convinced the guy did not maintain it well, but it now has 258K on it and still pulls like a race horse. The rear pinion burned out and that's about it. Transmission has always had a Klunk! going into drive from park, and I'm still waiting for it to break. Oh well. NEVER had a problem with the drive train otherwise. It's been loaded with gaggles of scouts and gear once a month for about 10 years of it's life and it's been up a narrow mountain trail with @300lbs of lumber on top for an eagle project. Upgrades were the sound system, a pair of rear leafs from the 2 door model (couple of hundred pounds heavier than the stock). Repairs to a couple of water pumps, brakes, new vacuum pot for the power brakes, a radiator and other w&t items. This vehicle was on the road every day beating traffic from New Haven to Norwalk CT for work in the most miserable conditions you could imagine, but never let me down. Oh, gas tank. I have replaced the gas tank after the pump finally dropped into it (it's plastic and no known aftermarket). Finding one was a bear, but I'm happy again and buzzing down the highway.

Barn doors or Tailgate were an option. I still have my 1998 Tahoe, I had to search high and low to get a tailgate model. Barn doors were far more common in 1998.

My Tahoe came factory with factory drive lights in the bumper. But it's a Z71 package and it's a Arlington Texas Tahoe. And it's a 99. Only in 99 and 2000 the obs Tahoe z71 and Tahoe limited and the official pace truck had driving fog lights in the front bumper. The same bumper used for the diesel trucks.

As someone who had a 1999 Suburban 4x4 optioned with 3:73 axle, towing pkg, skid plates and 166 litre fuel tank (Canada, eh!) for 15 years...yes, they are a great truck! 16 inch wheels and E load rated tires just made it a better truck.

Just bought a '99 Yukon with some unusual history. I'm the 7th owner but it only has 145k miles. Originally sold as a Canada export, then repatriated 3 years later. Had 105k miles put on it in the first 12 years, then 40k in the next 12 years. It has 4 year old tires with 1500 miles on them. Loaded with leather interior, dual air, and the G80 3.73 rear end. I'm loving it, and I may just keep it for the rest of my life.

I own a 1996 GMC Yukon SLT with the "GMC Truck" badge on the tailgate. 4WD, leather, all the lipstick available back in the day. I'm the second owner, purcahsed in 2006 and since then have "reconditioned" the truck, LED's in and out, paint, suspension front and rear upgraded (but old school in appearance) sound system and HVAC and more. Like you I've owned a bunch of vehicles over the years but I must say, this is the finest vehicle I've ever owned. If you see me at a stop light, sorry it's not for sale.

The transmissions I found are really solid built actually. The issue comes when people mistreat them. Towing heavy trailers/loads, if you don't use overdrive you won't kill the transmission. When people tow too heavy of loads in overdrive, it kills the torque converter which in turn kills the transmission. So as long as you treat it well, you shouldn't have any issue with the transmission.

I actually loved the braking feel of my 97 Suburban and it was more than adequate. But my 1998 GMC Yukon before that would put you through the windshield so easy. Yet I seem to be the only person who had that experience.. both were all original, under 100k mile examples with single, older, owners before me

Also, the intake manifold gaskets are an issue. If you have to replace use the felpro upgaded. It has a metal backing instead of plastic. The plastic ones sag and leak. The vortec intake only has 2 bolts on the front and back (both sides). Another issue is the injection spider, not a great design. The 4L60E will last a lot longer if you do regular maintenance.

Still having those running boards attached is a bad thing...that style running board is notorious for rotting out the rocker panels, moisture gets trapped between them. If you're in a warm/dry climate and don't have to deal with road salt they might be ok...One of the first things I did when I got my burb was rip those running boards off, unfortunately the damage was already done and it does need rockers.

@keppscrossing Жыл бұрын
My 1999 Tahoe with running boards has been in eastern Idaho since 2008. We have pretty hard winters and use plenty of road salt. It was in Michigan for the previous 9 years. There is no hint of rust on the rocket panels. Maybe it’s because I run it through the carwash with underbody spray roughly once a month during the winter? I like how the running boards keep a lot of the road spray off of the lower doors.

Put a bigger trans cooler in it. 4l60es of that era don’t give you any sort of warning before they go. They just go. A bigger cooler and corvette servo are great and easy ways to help the longevity of it. Barn doors were always an option. A superior option, I might add. Electric 4x is slow because they probably hardly ever used it, playing with it in your driveway or wherever will wake it up and quicken it up. Chances are, although sometimes you get lucky, that the locking rear end, no longer locks lol. But like I said, sometimes you get lucky and don’t ever have issues with them.
