I like what has been done with the site. I took a detour from the last time I was here. The deal I had going with a guy and his Tahoe left me discouraged and I ended up with a Camaro. I listed it here after I did some work to it and now I want to try to pursue another Tahoe. If any of you know...

The only thing I dont like about the third one is a dealer has it. The taxes and extra fees and all that kind of kill deals for me. I like to buy from private sellers on vehicles like this. I found one not to far from me, with 225k on the clock but a new trans was installed at the dealer 10k ago...

Here are a couple of prospects for me. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=150164950559&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=005...

I would have hated to see that go but it looks like you have a suitable replacement. If I did'nt need a four door I would snatch up one of those in a heartbeat. It seem like the 2drs are bringing a little more than the 4 doors. I guess the 4 doors have endured "family abuse" more than the 2...

Just to throw this out there. I had a S-10 that had a ticking noise. It would come and go and I was about to have the lifters replaced when a neighbor came over and said it sounds like you have a exhaust leak. A new gasket and 2 hours later, no more tick.

Great to hear about your purchase. You got a realitively low mileage one. Way to go. I would get a trans service but I would stay away from the power purge. Get a old fashion fluid and filter change. When they reverse flush that system it can actually break apart seals and such and cause...

He'll come around when it starts to chip. I tried to tell him but he is 16 and has not patience. He wanted to get on the road so bad to show off his truck. Oh the memories it brought back.

Thanks for the reply. I meant to say I was looking in the $4000 range. I know the only ones out there with that low of miles have to be in a warehouse or a collection.

Did that very mod to my nephews truck. He was very impatient but they turned out good. Prep, prep, prep. Clean them with dish soap and then follow it with alcohol. I used 320 grit to get out the scratches and all the dot markings and such, followed that up with some 1500 and then 2000. Washed in...

Hey guys/gals. I would like to introduce myself. My name is Damon as you can tell from the user name. I have been into old cars for quite some time now and I have seen it go from a bunch of guys fixing up old cars for fun to a full blown investor invasion. You can say i'm kind of burned out...
