97 Chevy Tahoe 4X4 with 82K on the clock. Lots of time and money has been invested in babying this truck! It is super clean and pleasing to drive. It handles well, accelerates well, looks good, but most importantly stops well! It has never been in an accident and has had Mobil 1 synthetic oil changes and tire rotations every 5,000 miles on the spot! Meticulously cared for and maintained, this truck has NO leaks and all updated maintenance.

 

I have gone through painstaking measures and research to make sure that this car can remain versatile and a daily driver even with the upgrades. It can handle light trails if the need arises, wonderful stability and passing power on the freeway, even when towing. It even has retained its stock MPG numbers even after all the engine mods and power it makes. My last trip to Utah with 2 people, a full load of luggage, and my Jet Ski on the back yielded over 16MPG at 80MPH! Imagine if the speed limit wasn’t 75 and I had done 65MPH… 16MPG, stable idle, and daily driveability of this truck make it so versatile and ready for ANYTHING you want to throw at it!

 

Included in all the things below is all the stock stuff like cruise, A/c etc….

 

Exterior:

- Stock Indigo Blue paint shines like the day I got this truck As can be expected there are a few rock chips on the hood, and a few on the rocker panels. A few door dings as well which is to be expected on a 5-year-old truck. However, there are no large dents or scratches on this ACCIDENT FREE truck.

- Fully debadged of all trim and decals for a super clean look!

- Clear tails with red reflectors so lights remain street legal. Bulbs DO NOT shine in pink. They shine bright red, and LAST!

- I also added Super white hi and low headlight bulbs as well as a switch to make the low beams stay on when the high beams are engaged for added safety at night.

- 18X9” Sportmetal Axiom wheels wrapped in High performance All season Falken tires 285/60/18 H rated and a 50K-mile warranty. I have only put 5000 miles on them and they are SPECTACULAR tires!

- Front corner lights are clear as well adding to the clean look of the front mesh grill insert completing the cleanliness of the outside of this truck!

 

Interior:

- The interior is in as good of shape as the exterior. It is a gray cloth interior with no rips or tears in any of the seats. It has never been smoked in, and there are a few stains in the carpet from various things over the years.

- Nothing that cannot be detailed/shampooed out. Stock rubber floor mats in gray.

- I have added white face gauges to the instrument cluster as well as a 45X4 W pioneer premier deck. Although I will be keeping my sub and amplifier, the truck IS prewired for this.

- Stock 6 speaker sound system and ice cold A/C

- 4 way adjustable drivers and passengers seat, and 60/40 folding rear seat.

- Tinted windows all the way around for added privacy

 

Engine:

- Wonderful 350 C.I. 5.7L vortec V8 putting out about 320HP! That is 250 HP to the rear wheels and 330 ft/lbs. of torque at 2500 RPM!!! That is some AWESOME torque for towing! This was confirmed on a dyno in Denver over a year ago. Unfortunately I have lost the paperwork.

- Mods to the engine include:

? JET Stage 2 Chip

? 1.6 Roller Rocker Arms

? K&N FIPK intake kit

? March Power pulleys

? Full stainless steel Borla exhaust including Headers, Y pipe, and True dual cat back exhaust exiting the rear of the truck.

? Granatelli Mass Air Flow Sensor (MAF)

? Jacobs ignition plug wires

? Aftermarket Tranny cooler to keep fluid temps down, leading to extended transmission life.

- Tranny fluid and coolant are less than 20,000 miles old, and still look good. I routinely change oil on schedule with only the best parts.

- Not one leak from this engine or any funky driveline noises. 4x4 are used a few times a year in the snow, and it works flawlessly.

 

Suspension:

- I have put Supersprings load springs on the truck. They are removable, but they do not harshly affect the ride quality. In fact, I thin they enhance its cornering ability and stability. This is especially true when loaded down and or towing. These springs combined with good tires promote confidence in these situations that no other SUV can. Other than that all other suspension components remain stock.

Class 3 trailer hitch can handle up to 5000 lbs. towing. And so can the engine!

 

Brakes:

- Stillen cross drilled front rotors with mintex redbox pads combined with the stainless steel brake lines make this truck stop so much better than stock it is amazing! Pedal feel is amazingly better allowing for a greater degree of control, and the ABS system works fine since it does get driven in the snow from time to time.

 

 

Repairs this truck has undergone:

- The only 2 big things that were problems were fixed right away. 1st was the coolant leak from the intake manifold which was fixed at the dealership over 2 years ago.

- 2nd was the pitman and idler arm fixed at my local alignment shop about a year ago.

- I performed a FULL tune up on the truck about 20-25K miles ago. It should be good for another 20 or so.
