RE: 99 Tahoe 4WD

When the brake pedal gets to the bottom of its travel, I hear a groan (almost a muted honk...Canadian Goose) and a squeak. Absent a gremlin, or hapless GM mechanic under the dash, my first thought is booster. However, when I turn off the engine and repeatedly press the brake, I still hear the sound...

Wondered if anyone else experiences this. I've checked the vacuum line to the booster, and the brakes function well. Just annoying to have passengers know each time I press the brake...embarrassed to admit that I brake for Hondas...

- 6 Speed vs 8 Speed

  I would say the main negative would be that I believe it's around when the 8-speed was introduced, so most likely it will have the original parts, whereas newer trucks will have 8 speeds with various upgraded/improved parts that fixed various issues with it.

  The 8 speed isn't a bad transmission at all. They just have common issues like any transmission. Ideally you'd like to find a low mileage truck or find a truck with good service history or maybe even a factory rebuilt transmission already in it.

  I’m in the market for a K2XX 6.2 truck and I’ve heard some conflicting things about reliability. My mechanic says that the 8 speed is just not consistent at all in reliability and that some people can be ok and others can’t. Given this I was hunting for a 2014 only truck with the 6.2 (which is quite hard to find) and I’m coming on here to ask if the 8 speed is really that bad. I need to expand my years so I can find some nice trucks but I don’t know if it’s better to wait on a 2014 to pop up or to expand my field and get some more deals. Thanks in advance for any feedback and comments

  Why does that not surprise me? 😏 It is more creative that a crowbar on a kneecap. Did it come with the mounted overhead lighting? 😬

  ? I would expect there to be a bushing for the yoke to ride on, there is for both my '04 and my '12. Perhaps that bushing needs to be replaced? It is possible to replace it w/o pulling the TC (at least for my trucks), but it does require special tooling.
