Fort Pierce, Florida, United States

Fort Pierce, Florida, United States

This is the perfect 4x4 SUV for just about anything.  It has the power to tow, the factory off road package, and room inside for 5 adults to sit comfortably.  I bought this truck last June when I sold my pickup so I could tow my Waverunners and make the occasional trips to Home Depot.  The truck served it function well, but I have decided to start a lawn care business on the side and will need another pickup, so the Tahoe must go.  I bought this truck intended to fully restore it, and it is the perfect truck to do this with because of it being a Florida truck with none of the typical northern rust.  I have done some of the work, which I will list below, but there is some remaining.  I  am offering this at No Reserve, so it should be a great deal, especially for those of you up north still requiring 4WD.  I have Clear Title in hand.  

Overall mechanical condition of the truck is good.  Brand New Transfer Case Motor, 4WD Selector Switch, Idler and Pitman Steering Arms, A/C Belt Tensioner and Belt, and Transmission Flush.  Additionally my mechanic replaced the rear main engine seal as it developed a slight oil leak.  The truck now has no leaks.  The only items identified by my mechanic to replace that have not been done  are Front Struts, followed by an alignment and front tires.  The truck currently pulls slightly right, and has worn out the front tires because of this.  Additionally the rear wiper is not working.  Other than that everything is in good mechanical condition. 

Cosmetically the truck is clean, but still needs some TLC to be perfect.  The good news is there is no rust on this truck aside from where the paint is missing on the rear bumper.  The underside and engine bay are amazingly clean for a 12 year old truck.  The exterior has some dents which are shown in the pictures, and it needs a paint job.  The passenger side rear cap for the luggage rack is missing as well. The alloy wheels show some cracking in the clear coat (cosmetic only).  

The interior restoration was begun by me.  I replaced all the carpet with better than OEM material.  The rear seats were replaced because of problems with the folding mechanism on the old ones.  The new ones fold and stow as designed.  The dash was completely removed and striped, and then repainted, so none of the typical peeling paint on the dash that is typical with these trucks.  The front seats still need to be replaced (although the do operate properly) and some of the rear cargo trim.  The headliner is beginning to sag as well.  All of the windows work properly as well.  Cruise control works.  A/C blows cold.  

The stereo was replaced with a new Kenwood CD Player with USB and Aux inputs on the front.  It has a remote control as well.  I bypassed the factory amplifier as it wasn't working (common problem in these trucks), so the head unit powers all of the speakers now.

GM recalling 70k Chevy Malibus, Pontiac G6s over steering issue

Sun, Feb 15 2015

A problem with the power steering system in the Chevy Malibu and Pontiac G6 has prompted General Motors and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to issue a recall for an estimated 69,633 vehicles. The issue revolves around the electric power steering assist, which could suddenly fail and increase the risk of a crash, especially at low speeds where the power steering is most helpful. The recall affects 2006-2007 Chevy Malibu sedans and Malibu Maxx wagons (specifically those manufactured between April 1, 2006, and June 30, 2006), as well as the Pontiac G6 (which was offered as a sedan, coupe or convertible) from the same model years and manufactured from April 18, 2006, to June 30, 2006. Owners of the affected units can expect to hear from the manufacturer with instructions to bring in their vehicles to their local dealers to have the torque sensors in the power steering system replaced. RECALL Subject : Sudden Loss of Electric Power Steering , 1 INVESTIGATION(S) Report Receipt Date: FEB 04, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V064000 Component(s): STEERING Potential Number of Units Affected: 69,633 Manufacturer: General Motors LLC SUMMARY: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2006-2007 Chevrolet Malibu and Malibu Maxx vehicles manufactured April 1, 2006, to June 30, 2006, and 2006-2007 Pontiac G6 vehicles manufactured April 18, 2006, to June 30, 2006. In the affected vehicles, there may be a sudden loss of electric power steering (EPS) assist that could occur at any time while driving. CONSEQUENCE: If power steering assist is lost, greater driver effort would be required to steer the vehicle at low speeds, increasing the risk of a crash. REMEDY: GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the torque sensor assembly, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020 or Pontiac customer service at 1-800-762-2737. GM's number for this recall is 14772. Note: This is an expansion of recall 14V-153 to cover additional vehicles built between April 1, 2006 and June 30, 2006. NOTES: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

GM re-recalls 11k SUVs

Tue, Oct 13 2015

General Motors is recalling a bunch of previously recalled SUVs because, well, they still aren't quite fixed. The latest repairs are necessary on 10,974 SUVs in North America, including 9,932 in only the US. Affected models include the 2006-2007 Buick Rainier, Chevrolet Trailblazer, and GMC Envoy; plus the 2006 Trailblazer EXT and Envoy XL. While not listed by NHTSA, a statement by GM to Autoblog says the 2006-2007 Saab 9-7X and Isuzu Ascender are also affected. In these SUVs, it's possible that liquid could get into the driver's door master power window switch module and cause a short circuit. This could potentially lead to a fire, and owners are urged to park the vehicles outside until repaired. GM has been trying to fix this issue for years. It started as an investigation into fires, and that led to a recall for about 250,000 vehicles in cold-weather states. A nationwide campaign came in 2013 for 193,000 of them in the US. Last year, the automaker decided to replace the whole module as a repair. However in a recent investigation of these recalls, GM discovered that this latest group of SUVs never received the new part. According to documents submitted to NHTSA (as a PDF), "Some dealers incorrectly used the labor code associated with module replacement when, instead of replacing the module, they only added a protective coating to the module." To fix things this time, the models finally get the correct component. Related Video: GM Statement General Motors is recalling 9,932 older midsize SUVs in the U.S. because they were mistakenly excluded from an earlier recall. Certain 2006 Chevrolet TrailBlazer EXT and GMC Envoy XL, and 2006-2007 TrailBlazer, Envoy, Buick Rainier, Saab 9-7X and Isuzu Ascender vehicles may continue to have a condition in which the printed circuit board inside the driver's door may corrode and short if exposed to certain fluids such as melted snow containing road salt. GM is aware of four fires but no crashes, injuries or fatalities associated with the expanded recall. The total number of vehicles being recalled, including Canada, Mexico and exports is 10.974. Customers are urged to park these vehicles outside until repairs have been made. GM reported this recall to the NHTSA on September 23.

MotorWeek looks back at 1995 Chevy Tahoe, GMC Yukon

Sat, Jun 20 2015

MotorWeek's Retro Review series gives us a nostalgic look back at some of the best sports cars and luxury sedans available in the 1980s and '90s. For its latest clip, the show shifts gears to remember the 1995 Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon. Similar to the success of crossovers today, SUVs were tallying big sales and making big money for automakers in the mid-'90s. The Tahoe and Yukon filled slots in the market as steps down from the larger Suburban. These twins weren't wanting for space, though, with plenty of room to haul around a family. MotorWeek came away generally impressed too, and called the models some "of the better riding sport utilities we've ever experienced." This review comes with some jazzy, electric guitar licks to enjoy in the background.
