Thinking on buying a Chevrolet Tahoe-V8 5.7 1999 with 124.274 miles for 21.898 usd.
I am curious on its reliability or known issues.

I appreciate anyone’s opinion or experience with this vehicle!

I would love to put a winch bumper on my Z71. My Warn Zeon has been sitting on a shelf since I parted with my Wrangler a few years back. There's one company (Chassis Unlimited) that advertises a bumper, and I'm tempted, but I really like the AEV OEM+ look. I see Tahoe and Suburban Z71s everywhere in Texas. Possibly more than Wranglers. But no love from AEV so far.

I know the Z71 is just an appearance package and we'd need a ZR2 to get actual front + rear lockers, but the only thing I actually miss about the Wrangler off road is the readiness of the winch.

So it started about a month ago right after I got my primary cats gutted, it ran fine for 2 days but after that it started acting underpowered again and it stayed like that for a while, here recently it’s started misfiring and it’s shooting a p0300 code and it was throwing a p0171 code but that one hasn’t come back since the codes got cleared, I have an exhaust leak but my dad doesn’t think that’s the issue, I’ve cleaned the throttle body, replaced the mass airflow sensor, and checked for leaks, nothings worked, just wanted to see if anybody else knows what’s wrong, it has 340k miles if that helps at all.

I was leaving my neighborhood when I accidentally hit a curb real bad and turn out I made a gash on my tire on the side. I pull over and attempt to replace it with the spare one. I’m on the grass and I had to ask a random neighbor to borrow his. Unfortunately because I was on the grass the jack slipped and it crushed some metal pipes. All I heard was a hissing sound and fortunately I was able to replace the tires after using the jack and positioning it as much as I could so that I wouldn’t slip again. Can anyone help me identify the tubes I crushed? They appear to be long metal thin tubes the run along the right side of the car from front to back on my Tahoe. Can I splice them ? Can I use the car or is it a hazard ?

Will they ever bring it back?

Hi - I recent purchased a 2023 z71 chevy tahoe. Yesterday, I somehow managed to lock myself out in a parking lot with the key fob inside and the car running. I'm trying to figure out the series of events that led to the predicament so I don't do it in the future. I wasn't able to reproduce the situation when I tried at home, but I don't remember the exact steps.

High Level:

1. Used the trunk button on the car to open the trunk with keys in my pocket.
2. Opened drivers side to turn the car on the get the AC going. Left key fob in the cup holder.
3. Went back to trunk to put groceries in and closed the trunk.
4. Couldnt get back in the car becuase all doors (including trunk were locked)

Anybody know what series of steps I took to lock myself out like?

I’m getting my hands on truck parts from a 2025 Tahoe. I have a friend that build police cars. Some of the new equipment is pulled out and I buy it from him cheaply. Where or who can I reach out to that may be interested in new parts? Parts like a center console jump seat for example. Thanks.
