If came from Oregon, then no rust. Be a pleasure to work on the steering and suspension. I would asap put band clamps on that filter instead of the worm gear clamps. Your wet seepage there is likely from those clamps. "Told transmission was replaced"? Did you get the paperwork or at least a name of the shop that did it? Lack of paperwork drives me crazy.
Looks like a nice solid no rust truck.
Yes, I was "told" the transmission was replaced. No documentation, but was also told the first owner was a "mechanic". Nothing to prove that either.
My guess is that the transmission was rebuilt or was replaced with a rebuilt or good used one. I have a good spare 4L60 if I need it, fortunately.
I bought the truck solely off of my personal assessment of it.
I trust hardly anyone these days and that's helpful when buying a used car LOL.
But we took it for a 7 hour test drive over the weekend and she drove just fine.
My '96 Suburban came off the road permanently earlier this Spring, if you'll recall. That is now the parts vehicle for the the (2) Tahoes we own.
