Hello all,

New to the forum. I am not new to Chevy though. I have a 77 K5 498 BBC and just sold my 13" 1LE Camaro.

I had an 02' Z71 Tahoe a few years ago. Missed it a lot so thought an 08' SSV would fill in the gap. It's not bad. It has 62,500 miles on the ODO. I believe it has 4.10 gears. A few blemishes with over spray here and there, however; Car fax is clean. All it has is the Takata airbag recall pending. The rubber smell is off putting from the vinyl floor. Hopefully I can air it out.

Few other things I noticed: (please feel free to chime in)

- Bilstein shocks up front - nice
- No DIC - will purchase
- No rear door functions, i.e. windows/locks - need to research
- No remote - just one key!?
- Slightly rough idle on cold start. After it warms up it's smooth though.
- Will replace ALL fluids and filters/plugs for peace of mind soon.
- Alignment seems fine. Tracks straight on acceleration and hard braking.
- Left rear brake light is out as well as reverse light - will replace bulbs

Looking forward to sharing my progress and research with you all!

Thanks,

Anthony

Welcome! Look at the RPO sheet in your glovebox. Post the G-codes and the fellas here will tell you what gear is in your truck. or at least what it was supposed to come with. We'll also be able to tell how easy it would be to have factory remotes and remote start by posting the A-codes.
