Before you change plugs seafoam it! You won't be sorry.
There's a thread somewhere where they explain it..

Here's a seafoam tutorial with some nice pics and such...
My dad has a 95 Chevy work truck (same thing) with 265,000. Mechanically the same other than the whole "having a bed" deal.
But it's not a Tahoe so it doesn't really count..
Everyone on here says how the transmissions aren't very high quality and go bad a lot. But why exactly is that?
Do they fail often on the ones made prior to 1996? My dad has a truck with 265,000 miles on it with no tranny rebuilds and it shifts perfectly.
The 4L60-E is only rated to handle...
AEM Brute Force intake. I've heard those are pretty good. Expensive, but good.
Also the FRAM Boost intake is a rebadged AEM. Cheaper too.
I hate FRAM but they didn't make it so it's not so bad.
It does look nice, but I'm being really picky about it. I want a Vortec. I've driven the 350 TBI and the Vortec and I really like the Vortec that much more. So 96-99 is what I'm searching for. I guess I should've added that when I said the cheapest one was only 5900.
I look at everything. Autotrader, Craigslist, etc..I do about 100 mile radius search.
Is it worth driving that far? After gas and stuff I'm not sure if I would.
Yeah, if I look long enough the perfect one will come up. I saw one just last weekend and I went over to the dealership Monday night and it was already sold by then, so I better pounce on them quick.
And driving one or two hours is ok with me, I've been checking OKC classifieds and such..but...
I was wondering that too. He described it as "out of the crate" so I thought it was the modified Vortec "Ramjet" or something like that. Not some rebuilt old TBI.
I was really nervous about the engine as well, but it's transferable and he has the paperwork.
And 5000 is just about the least I've seen for a 2 door around me, which really blows. And we talked and he'll only go down to 4700ish.
I'll probably keep looking, I really want a Vortec anyways! 55...
