Nice. I'm sure it'll be no problem. Do you trust her to take it tho? Going with her? I think I would, but I have a hard time trusting people.
I might have found a gem that is about 1/2 mile from my American Legion post

The whole story is she is a tenant here that used to be my girlfriend at one time about 2-3 years ago and then we parted and she has family in Texas and went there to be with her daughter during her pregnancy and after. She is a retired flight attendant. She has a home here and land in Washington with a trailer there and land in Texas. She rode in the Tahoe with me before. She is back in town and I/We have been talking and it looks like we may be getting back together. So, yea, I trust her. If it was just some shmuck I did not know I would be going with them for sure. She will be a surprise when I end up taking her to the American Legion to meet them. No one there knows about her or our history. She loves Trump like me and is not a smoker and is easy on the eyes. Have no idea at all what she sees in me. But I live by the creed, "Either dazzle 'em with brilliance or baffle 'em with ********".

Ooooo, nice. I hope you guys get everything worked out
I'm glad it's going to someone you know and trust with it. Hopefully she'll take good care of it. I'm sure you'll make sure she does

The thing is, if she buys it, it will be around me all the time still. I know this rig inside and out and it would be great to have it close to me after selling it. Her too of course.
Another true story about her. Her ex husband used to be the head of security for an old country western singer, Charlie Pride, and she has shown me pics of the many road trips over the years and has pics of her and her husband with Charlie Pride out on the road and at concerts. She has some great stories. Her dad was a Captain in the Navy, too. I met him before he passed away about 3 years ago.

In Miami Beach [or anywhere in South Florida] the Tahoe would be gone forever. A lot of owners that go for a test drive with the prospective buyer end up having guns pulled on them as they are being kicked out of their own vehicle. Some get shot. I trust extremely few people.

We're living in sorry times.

I carry my concealed at all times, so it would be a stand off if they pulled on me. I expect, nowadays, the idiots and thieves to be out there. I plan for the worst and hope for the best. I am let down on a regular basis.

I am right there with you but you know what they say- there is a lawyer attached to every bullet.

Can anyone tell me where this bracket is located? Is it there to help support the in line fuel filter?

I did not replace the fuel filter on this rig because before I bought my tools a friend with a mobile service did it for me.
The lady interested in buying my 2002 had it inspected yesterday. The shop said the bracket is broken but I can't picture it.
The shop also said the front tires shows alignment wear but they are only 5k miles old and I had it aligned when I did the tires and I verified the setting were correct from the printout. Unless a steering component has gone bad but the shop did not say anything in the suspension was bad or worn and I feel nothing wrong with the steering. They said as I expected that there are no fluid leaks but did say it needed both diff services and that was done within the last 3k miles. So I call ******** on that. They also said the sector shaft is needed. I knew that it needed removed, cleaned and lubed but I have not done it because there is no safety problem there and I can feel it and has been the same since I bought it.

Sounds to me like the people at this shop are just looking for anything. Do you have your receipts from when things were done? Could use those to show the interested party that the alignment was done and is correct. That would disprove the shop’s claim about the tires and diffs needing to be done. As for that bracket, can’t help you on that one.
