I agree.
We were shopping for this same generation Tahoe a few years ago and it seemed there were plenty of solid candidates.
Now they seem pretty scarce, especially in comparison to a few years ago.
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 haven’t had it up in the air yet, but here’s a quick shot of underneath…
I’m told the transmission was replaced about 10k miles ago. Looks like a filter was installed. I suspect a former owner did some towing with it.
Drove this old girl home this past weekend to add to our fleet.
Looks a lot like our ‘99.
136k miles.
We are now the 3rd owner of this ‘96 Hoe.
And another solid truck to have around.
Spent it’s life in Oregon, so the body is great and underneath is super solid.
Pull the distributor and look for excessive wear on the gear. The teeth can get worn similar to what is seen in the pic below. My '98 2500 I had, had this issue. It cost me a lot of dough and time before I finally figured it out.
