I bought a 2003 Tahoe LS 4WD with the 5.3 Flex, Bose upgrade, 3rd row seat, GT4, G80, NP8 and VR4 options.

It has the Silverado HD hood and the pictured aftermarket 16" wheels which I think really fits the LS model well. 170k miles on the ODO. The body doesn't have rust but it is dent free, has a class 4 hitch with both 4 pin and a new 7 pin connector. It's cloth seats surprisingly have almost no wear, even on the drivers seat bottom. It has a few things wrong with it like a broken fog light, a cracked bumper light, one of the parking lights is out, a cracked interior panel where the sub is supposed to be, broken rear defroster connector, steering column panel is falling off, the 6 CD changer was replaced with an aftermarket head unit so the rear audio controls don't work anymore.

The night I made the purchase, I bought Spec-D headlights, bumper lights and LED tail lights, new fog lights, a Wade bug deflector and a black powder coated aluminum Chevy emblem. My plan is to do the Chevy 4 high mod and modify the headlights with a Morimoto H1 projector retrofit kit.

Welcome. Looks like there's a level kit on there, too.

The previous owner mentioned something about torsion rods, is that what you mean? Does it sit differently than stock? I can't tell. Would these codes be what you are taking about?

Those codes just tell you that the torsion bars were adjusted when it was built. Everybody's truck will have those codes.

From the picture, I think yours have since been readjusted to lift the front end level with the rear. Looks good, and yes, it is sitting differently than stock.

Nice, I had a 2002 and loved it.

(Although I'm not sure of leveling kit on yours, my 2002 was perfectly level and looked like yours from the factory... )
