Its Cheaper to Keep Her

I also vote for a basic magnusson tvs1900 kit. Simple install, super reliable and an extra 120-200hp on tap. I beat the crap out of my bone stock 140k miles 4.8 with a magnusson on 16-19psi for over 2 years never skipped a beat. Only pulled for a bigger motor.

Best thing is if you don't want it loud leave the factory exhaust on it will still make good power.

You guys must live out of the rust belt. 300K miles up here and the cab is sitting on the frame no matter how much you wash it out underneath.

I lived in the rust belt for years and dealt with the repairs in my shops. PITA. That is one of the reasons I live in the PNW now.

I have a 2006 Denali and absolutely love it! It’s such a reliable rig! Easy to work on, pretty easy to add performance mods, plenty of build threads on here to check out on GMT800 suvs. A new set of wheels will liven up your exterior with a set of escalade racks and vent covers! That mod is a fan favorite here! I have a Bluetooth nav unit with a backup camera installed in mine and it’s an awesome
Upgrade! I should have gone with an Apple CarPlay enabled headunit though.

Yea, great save. I have my 02 Tahoe and it is getting ready to roll at 161k miles. I thought I needed something newer and went on a search, like you did. The newer rigs front seats are uncomfortable to me. Too much plastic.

I still miss my bench seat from my '90 Burby. So roomy and comfy.

Oh man... my 02 Denali is going on 170k and I’ve done so much to it that my build thread on it is up to 264 pages. If you reeaaally want some ideas, settle in and read. Pretty much you could ever think of doing to yours is in there, from steering and suspension to supercharger, cam, headers, body, lighting, sound system, interior, etc, you name it.

They sure open up possibilities, that’s for sure.

Loved the one in my 1976 Impala when I was in high school and first couple years of college.

I once went to a St. Patrick's Day parade and bar hop after, in downtown KC, Mo. in a 73 El Camino and had 4 other people in the front and only seat, with me driving. It allowed a girl I had a crush on, Debbie Peacher, to sit almost in my lap. I loved that night.

Only bad thing about a bench seat--especially if it's vinyl--no high speed turns! You slide right to the passenger side lol!

Cars that had bench seats couldn’t even make high speed turns so no worry. They pretty much wallowed through any attempt at turning fast lmao.
