    Looking to buy a work truck. Need expert assistance.

    Yea that caddy is all time 4 wd. The only thing is that pA truck is in way better condition than NYC Tahoe, and I can't find anything decent here in NYC. Inspections here passed for bribes, PA is different. Besides Caddy is clean. All records 2 owners, the kid is third. All maintenance was done...

All the rocker panels are good, also it's...

    I found a real good deal. https://www.facebook.com/share/5RDyfo82q2XTb1wu/?mibextid=kL3p88 Frame like new. The only thing is it is only RWD and for NYC winter I would prefer 4WD . Otherwise I would have to throw some load to the back. I drive Sprinter with dually rwd, but I have 3500 lbs on...

    I was looking for some, but all had a ticking bomb , you know what I mean. Unfortunately all my efforts to find 2007-2009 Cadillac with live engine didn't bring any good news. Most are either dying or dead. I found few diesel Suburbans , will check them out next week. Also I find alot of 1500...

    Looking to buy a work truck. Need expert assistance.

    So far nothing, just some barely alive necro species for insanely high prices. Managed to find 2 vehicles with one owner but $5000 for 256 k one owner that is too much. Market is still too high, probably I should wait till autumn. Because it makes no sense overpaying to those sellers. They...

    I'm not looking for something fancy. I need daily beater, that would not beat me up financially, that is all. I found some fully loaded GM trucks,v( Escalade , Yukon 2007-2009 )but those are beyond my budget.

    That what I got in mind from the beginning. For my budget 4 k, there is better chance to get decent truck with less mileage, than newer generations. Plus if look enough and negotiate a bit, I would be able to save some money for upgrades.

    Looking to buy a work truck. Need expert assistance.

    This is no rush buy. I'm looking for reliable SUV that can be fixed either with my help or our shop mechanic. GM got a lot of affordable aftermarket parts. Unlike Toyota or Honda, parts can be bought in local AutoZone without pre-order and delivery. I looking for a budget from 4 to 5 k max...

    Looking to buy a work truck. Need expert assistance.

    So far my search es are not effective. Vehicles either pretty much beat up with the bunch of owners on them, Plus there are issues with the stabilitrack on most of them. So far I haven't found a vehicle with the easy fix problem. Most of them require serious dig in and investigation. Prices in...

    Yes, I would check it out soon. I liked that deal too. First thing is the rust, I will go through with my scan tool as well. I think these trucks have common issues with stabilitrack, it should be disabled too. I plan to install Air ride for better comfort and easier loading and unloading.

    Looking to buy a work truck. Need expert assistance.

    Hi, after about a year after I got rid of my Cadillac Escalade Hybrid, I came into a need of another work horse. I made a big mistake when I got home that Hybrid thing. Appears to be we have no mechanics in Brooklyn that can work on those. Currently I'm in a need of a work horse, daily driver...

    Need help with 2010 Hybrid Escalade

    I started to clean up, I just realized I have something about parts for 300$ just sitting in my apartment. I started the massive return on Amazon and Rock Auto. That's crazy. I wonder how much more Caddy would take out from my pocket.

    Need help with 2010 Hybrid Escalade

    Unfortunately, I hat to let him go. Caddy left my ownership. Despite all efforts, I had to let him go. For that year I owned him, he became a real member of my family, despite he almost finished us on highway. There was no sense to reanimate dead man. Engine started to miss again. I barely...

    Need help with 2010 Hybrid Escalade

    Nah, I think, I will trade it in as it is. So far I'm really tired of constant waiting in line in repair shops. Getting from work earlier just because I have an appointment in some shop, and when I get there there's already some vehicle on a lift. So they move me to other day. Plus engine...
