    5.3 engine tick

    I've test drove some tahoes...silverados..and a gmc sierra. A couple of them have a tick at start up. After some reading this sounds common among 5.3 motors. The one today the Sierra has 106k on it and is a 2001. Should this concern me? He told me it does it slightly and goes away after a mile...

    96 tahoe dying when put in gear

    The ol man put in fresh fuel and seafoam seems to have gotten better he claims. He thinks maybe it idles a bit to low. Can you adjust the idle on a 96 or is it done by the computer?

    Potential 05 owner..?'s

    I've been looking at them for awhile. Z71s seem to sell higher and this one is one of the cheaper ones with decent miles at 159k. I drove this thing and it was like floating on a cloud. Very comfy ride with nice pep. So I suppose it sounds like it has a lot of positives I should focus on...

    Thanks for the replies. Just hope it's a good buy. I always get paranoid when dropping a decent amount of cash.

    steering wheel shake

    Thanks for the reply. That's what I was wondering and should be a cheap fix I hope. With it having 285s I was wondering if the keys were cranked and it wore out front end parts....just trying to cover my bases hate to spend 7k and have alot of repairs right away

    Anything else I should look for as far as issues like I said it ran and rode nice. Seems like these things run forever most for sale have 140-200k on them

So I leave and feel it slightly I let go of the wheel it runs straight down the road but had a shake at the steering wheel. Then it went away and I never really...

    Got them down to 7000. It runs good drives good. Sometimes you would get a shimmy in the steering wheel. But it didn't feel like any front end issue...tire out of balance maybe? I did notice a slight exhaust tick. And the heat changing is only on the drivers side as I mentioned in my first post...
