1998 Chevrolet Tahoe 2

This Tahoe was acquired approximately 2 years ago by my husband. It was not running at the time and had sat for approximately 3 years as the previous owners could not afford to fix the transmission. My husband is an ASE certified Automobile Technician with a decade of professional experience with numerous years in GM dealerships. This truck has been meticulously maintained, repaired and upgraded since we acquired it. It was our daily driver for about 2 years. The body on the truck is straight and it has a clear Nevada title. We are only selling it because we have a small child and I needed a car with 4 doors that would allow me easily get our son in and out of his car seat.

The transmission was rebuilt at approximately 89,000 miles - when we obtained the vehicle. It was fully rebuilt and upgraded! The transmission rebuild includes:

• The sun shell was replaced with a "BEAST" Sun Shell - The factory sun shell has a weak point that often breaks causeing the vehicle to have NO 2nd or 4th gears and NO Reverse. This upgraded part ensures the sun shell does not break again!
• All Clutches and Steels were replaced during the transmission rebuild. INCLUDING using the Raybestos Z Pak (tm) 3/4 Clutch Packs. This aftermarket upgrade allows for improved towing capability as well as improved life of the transmission due to lower heat in the transmission.
• The Servo was replaced with a performance "Corvette" Servo to allow for better shifting and improved transmission life.
  All Seals and gaskets in the transmission were replaced on the rebuild.
• Transmission Band Replaced
• Re-manufactured Torque Convertor Installed.

All of these parts in the transmission make this an EXCELLENT vehicle to tow with! The tow package is already installed!


In addition to the full transmission rebuild the vehicle has had numerous other repairs since we obtained the vehicle. These include:

• Replacement of the fuel pump with an AcDelco (factory) part - aftermarket fuel pumps are known to fail in a very short period of time
• Replacement of the Radiator
• Replacement of the Intake Gasket - a very common problem of General Motors Vehicles of this year, but a very expensive (labor intensive) repair. The gasket was replaced with the updated metal version so that this problem will not occur again.
• Replacement of the A/C Compressor with an AcDelco part as well as seals in the A/C system - Thus this vehicle should have nice COLD A/C for a long time!
• Replacement of charging system components including the battery, battery cables and alternator.
• Spark Plugs have been replaced with AcDelco Double Platinum Plugs (should not need to replace spark plugs for 100,000 miles
• Fuel Pressure Regulator has been replaced
• The Spider Injectors have been upgraded from the original CSFI injector setup to the MPFI setup with an AcDelco part- the original design had poppet nozzles that commonly became clogged with carbon causing numerous problems with driving the vehicle - The new design keeps carbon from building up on the injectors eliminating the need for a costly repair. 
• Replacement of the pressure power steering hose. (done less than 500 miles ago)
• Replacement of the oil cooler hoses. (done less than 500 miles ago)
• Replacement of the front brakes with ceramic pads (done less than 500 miles ago)
• The vehicle has had routine services performed with the correct fluids as well
• Regular oil changes with synthetic fluid
• Front and Rear differentials serviced with synthetic fluid
• Transmission filled with Valvoline Maxlife ATF on rebuild
• Transfer case serviced with Valoline Maxlife ATF
• Extended Life Coolant installed
• Brake system serviced with synthetic fluid
  

From a reciept that was in the glove box we also noticed that several repairs were done just prior to the transmission going out and the vehicle sitting. This included front shocks which were replaced with Monroe Sens Trac, which gives improved handling of the vehicle

 

Additionally, this vehicle has never had an aftermarket radio or alarm system installed. Therefore, it does not have wiring or electrical issues that tend to come when these items are installed. My husband has thouroghly looked over the vehicle and fixed the things that needed attention such as the front brakes and the small leaks at the power steering and oil cooler lines. The vehicle has no strange noises and the engine, transmission and 4x4 run solid. There is no smoke. There are no warning lights and the vehicle will pass emissions tests. All of the common issues for this vehicle that are all quite expensive have occured and been repaired with parts that help ensure the problems do not re-occur. It is quite common for Chevy and GMC trucks and SUVs to hit 300,000 miles without replacing the engine. If you take care of this SUV it will go for a long time only needing minor repairs. The ride in this vehicle is also very comfortable. It was much prefered over other vehicles for long car rides!

 

This Tahoe is in good physical condition for its age. We updated the wheels to 17" rims from a Chevy Avalanche. The front seats were re-upulstered and have only been ridden in to wash the vehicle, the rear seat has no rips or tears. However, it does have its' flaws. There are minor parking dents and scratches on the vehicle. The paint has cracking which is especially evident on the hood and roof, which is fairly common. Some of the plastic, such as that on the grill has some discoloration. The carpet does have some staining, however, the front floor mats are included which cover alot of it. Due to the vehicle sitting in the HOT Las Vegas sun for 3 years there is some damage to interior plastic pieces such as the driver's door panel, some cup holders, ashtrays, and knobs. However, the truck presents quite nicely. Additionally, the truck will need tires fairly soon (i.e. about 10% left). We did not want to put on tires since we were selling and the fact that there are a variety of uses for this vehicle which would make a difference if the purchacer wanted street tires or off road tires exc.
