Considering building my Tahoe with 240k miles.
Physically, she needs a solid detail and a head liner. Mechanically she sounds solid, minus a questionable battery. Suspension is starting to become a little squishy. Needs front brakes.
Water pump, belt, thermostat, rear brakes done within last 5k miles.
So here’s my thought process.
Detail the crap out of it.
Fix the headliner.
Lower it and fix squishiness.
Rims and Tires.
Then stock pile cash and when the motor goes order a LS3 or find something wrecked with a nice performance power plant, and add on some fun stuff. Or rebuild current motor.
Not looking to go full race/show truck but a solid sleeper.
Rough estimates with a new crate LS3 and other stuff is in the $15-20 range. So I guess I need to see if I can find something comparable in that price range or move forward with the build.
What are your thoughts?
