Changes made from 96' to 99' 2-Door?

[ZeroCool]

I'm about to buy a 96 2-Door Tahoe but I'm not sure if I should look a little harder for a newer (99') model. Would anyone happen to know the benifits of buying a new model? I.E. The changes that were made? Other than the obvious answer = Everythings newer duh!

Thanks peeps!

Hoping to contribute to the forum soon.

What I found in random places...

Revised transmissions, improved steering system and added passenger-side air bag, PassLock security system and full-time AutoTrac 4WD option added, next generation "depowered" air bags, transmissions revised again, Revised steering wheel and improved radiators and transmissions.

There were probably more changes as well.

Thanks for lookin out! The 96' is super clean so I think I'll buy it tomorrow and start throwing some monies at it.

Thanks again!

Anyone know any aesthetic changes?

Should be the same inside and out besides little stuff.

Steering is night and day! Going from a 96->99 it felt like i was steering a feather.

Nothing big. just don't go later than 96, due to the Vortec is much better in my opinion

Thanks again... Bought it yesterday morning! I'll post up another thread with a pic and details.

Forgot to mention, heated seats were offered as an option in 98 and up, but in the two doors that I have seen they are rare.
