For sale is a white 1997 Tahoe LS 2 door. I believe I am only the second owner of this truck, of which I have owned since April of 2008. I purchased the truck with 95,000 miles and it now has 162,000 miles. The majority of those miles are all highway between a 50 mile round-trip work commute, upstate NY and the Jersey Shore. The truck has a gray cloth interior with a split bench seat. Since I have owned the truck I have had the following work done:

Rebuilt Transmission at 95k by A-1 Award Transmission in Huntington Station, NY

Entire new brake system including:
-new brake lines
-new calipers
-new wheel cylinders
-new rear brake shoes
New Intake Manifold Gaskets

Within the past 2 years the following has been done:
-new oil cooler line seals
-new spark plugs, rotor, distributor cap, ignition wires and fuel filter
-new battery

Within the past year the following has been done:
-new fuel pump (2 months old)
-new ignition switch
-new Cooper Discoverer 265/75-16 tires (approximately 5000 miles on them)
-new thermostat and fan belt
-new front brake pads

What it needs: Although the truck has A/C it does not hold a charge for longer than a few months. I have dyed the lines but have never really followed up to see where the leak is. So you are either going to have to service the A/C system or just charge it in the beginning of the summer. Also, the U-joints are going to need to be replaced at some point in the future. I just have not had time to get to it and they don't seem to be getting worse.

As you can see from the pictures the overall appearance of the truck is very clean considering it is almost 17 years old. The truck runs absolutely great and set aside from the normal Tahoe problems I have never had any real problems with it. The Vortec 5.7 burns about a quart of oil maybe every 3 months. The interior is also in great shape and everything is there, including the factory original spare tire. Everything works including power drivers seat. 

The 4x4 is electronic push button shift and works perfectly. I use it in the snow without any problems and to tow a 26' boat 2 times per year.

If there are any specific pictures you want to see please let me know.  I also encourage you to come see the truck in person prior to bidding. 

My reason for selling is I got a great deal on a new Ram 1500. The truck is located in Massapequa, New York, about 40 miles east of NYC. I will be around in the evening to show and test drive the truck. 

I am not looking to store the truck for any time so please be prepared to purchase within 7 days of auction close.  I accept cash or cashiers check, no personal checks.

Please call or text 516.606.9641 with any questions. Thanks for looking...

Junkyard Gem: 2003 Chevrolet Tracker

Wed, May 22 2024

When General Motors created the Geo brand to sell vehicles designed and — in some cases — built by Japanese partners, the first four models were introduced for the 1989 model year: the Metro (Suzuki Cultus), Prizm (Toyota Sprinter), Spectrum (Isuzu Gemini) and Tracker (Suzuki Sidekick). Geo got the axe in 1997, with the Metro, Prizm and Tracker becoming Chevrolets. Of those, the Tracker survived the longest, with U.S.-market sales continuing into 2004. Here's an example of a very late Tracker, found in a North Carolina car graveyard recently. The 1989-1997 first-generation Trackers were based on the Suzuki Sidekick, while the 1998-2004 Trackers had the Suzuki Vitaras (not to be confused with the much grander Grand Vitaras) as their siblings. Production of these trucks for the South American market (as the Chevrolet Vitara) continued in Ecuador all the way through 2014. The Tracker name has also gone onto some versions of the Chevrolet Trax around the world. This one is a base four-door hard top/rear-wheel-drive model, which had an MSRP of $17,330. That's about $29,789 in 2024 dollars. You'll find one in every car. You'll see. The engine is a Suzuki 2.0-liter straight-four rated at 127 horsepower and 134 pound-feet. A five-speed manual was base equipment, but very few American vehicle shoppers wanted three pedals by the middle 2000s. This truck has the Aisin four-speed automatic. We like it loud. It appears that someone associated with this truck graduated from Julius L. Chambers High School last year. In the United States, the Tracker was replaced by the Saturn Vue. If Tracker can handle (unspecified Middle Eastern country), it can survive the jungle back home. Siempre contigo.

GMC Envoy could be returning as GM files for 'Envoy' trademark

Thu, Dec 27 2018

The GMC Envoy could be on its way back, if a recent GM trademark filing is any indication of the future. To be exact, GM's trademark filing is for the name "Envoy," and is applicable to "motor vehicles, namely, sport utility vehicles, engines therefor and structural parts thereof." A victim of the recession and high gas prices, the original Envoy – related to the Blazer, and more recently the TrailBlazer and similar GM SUVs – was discontinued after the 2009 model year. In today's SUV-happy market of low gas prices, unearthing the somewhat familiar Envoy name makes a certain amount of sense. As soon as gas prices start trending in the other direction, we'll all be saying the opposite, though. What this SUV will take shape as is the big question now. With the Chevrolet Blazer well and truly on its way, there's every reason for a GMC version of Chevy's stylish new crossover sporting the Envoy name. Another, less likely, possibility is a Traverse-sized vehicle to slot between the shorter Acadia (10 inches shorter than the Chevy Traverse) and the body-on-frame Yukon. GM could come out of left field and make the Envoy a Buick too. It fits the bill with the "En" beginning, and Buick undoubtedly has crossovers in the works. We think that's even more unlikely, but it's important to remember that we're still in the speculation phase. Soon we'll drive Chevy's new Blazer, and perhaps have more news then. Check in next week for that. Related video:

Poor headlights cause 40 cars to miss IIHS Top Safety Pick rating

Mon, Aug 6 2018

Over the past few months, we've noticed a number of cars and SUVs that have come incredibly close to earning one of the IIHS's highest accolades, the Top Safety Pick rating. They have great crash test scores and solid automatic emergency braking and forward collision warning systems. What trips them up is headlights. That got us wondering, how many vehicles are there that are coming up short because they don't have headlights that meet the organization's criteria for an "Acceptable" or "Good" rating. This is a revision made after 2017, a year in which headlights weren't factored in for this specific award. This is also why why some vehicles, such as the Ford F-150, might have had the award last year, but have lost it for this year. We reached out to someone at IIHS to find out. He responded with the following car models. Depending on how you count, a whopping 40 models crash well enough to receive the rating, but don't get it because their headlights are either "Poor" or "Marginal." We say depending on how you count because the IIHS actual counts truck body styles differently, and the Infiniti Q70 is a special case. Apparently the version of the Q70 that has good headlights doesn't have adequate forward collision prevention technology. And the one that has good forward collision tech doesn't have good enough headlights. We've provided the entire list of vehicles below in alphabetical order. Interestingly, it seems the Volkswagen Group is having the most difficulty providing good headlights with its otherwise safe cars. It had the most models on the list at 9 split between Audi and Volkswagen. GM is next in line with 7 models. It is worth noting again that though these vehicles have subpar headlights and don't quite earn Top Safety Pick awards, that doesn't mean they're unsafe. They all score well enough in crash testing and forward collision prevention that they would get the coveted award if the lights were better.
