Subscribed. I have a 2002 suburban Z71 with over 320k miles on the Odometer. Just had to replace the bearings in the rear end. Same color as yours just with patina lol. Big Bertha is her name and she's made many trips from Michigan to Georgia. Half of them pulling a car on a car hauler. I have the tick but only if I hit the gas on initial start up. Give it a couple of minutes and she's ready for whatever. One common issue that I guessed hasnt happened to you is the plastic heater hose quick connect T. Mines went out last week but like I said earlier, Big Bertha has over 320k miles. Growing pains lol.

Bought my 02 used w 12k miles. Rear main seal getting done for $850 next week at 230k miles. Had the parts to do it myself but to difficult to do on the ground without a lift. Developed lifter tick at about 180k, living w it but will replace the engine if it goes before I do. Seen all the problems you've seen cept for the leaky sunroof cause I don't have one. Good job w the vids!

ive got a 2001 chevy tahoe with the 5.3 v8. i have replaced the fan clutch and the valve cover gaskets even though when i got it it only had 158,000. It now has 160,758 and my right head gasket is leaking coolant and im gonna have a mechanic do both head gasket and the in take gasket replaced. so far my rear main seal is fine and so is my fuel pump. but i have had to replace the sending unit for the oil pressure because it was leaking oil.

It's a different world where someone shows a lot of repairs seemingly endless can create a virtually new truck that will go another 100k. Thanks make me feel better in this toss it and buy new world.

Another thing ground straps under the hood cv shafts hub assembly .thanks for the video 1200 to do the rear main is probably a really good deal my tahoe needs this done as well.

Good calls on all these items.

love the walk thru of the new rig! SUB'd

As the owner of a 2005 Tahoe I think you severely underestimate how many things can go wrong with these vehicles. Still, I admire your confidence.

Thanks for the video...What was cost of rear main seal? Edit: I kept watching and you said $1200 , thank you!

The lifter tick you can fix by putting a new oil pickup tube o ring

Put a new oil pump,oil pickup tube and screen lifter noises will go away

Is the rear main seal the one in-between rear of engine block and front of transmission ?

Haha tell me about it. I am putting a new ATK 6.0L lower and a new 4l80e in my 2500. Going to do a bunch of extras to it while doing the engine and tranny.

your missing your bump stops

I used ZR1 spark plugs and have never looked back after 400k. They're still in there. At that time they were ONLY $8 each. Lol.
