Just bought a 99 Tahoe

[faze]

Truck looks pretty nice.

I used to have a 740 volvo that would trigger the abs at low speed stops. To fix it I'd take a small brass wire brush and clean up the wheel the sensor reads off off because the grooves would fill up with brake dust and throw the sensor off.

That 4wd light is a problem for me too...when I first bought the truck it drove a little wierd on the way home and I hit the 2wd button and realized it had been in the semi 4wd position; the indicator lights weren't working. I haven't explored whether there is a bulb back there or if I need to replace the switch.

Around here that truck would go for 7-8K with that mileage.

It isn't that bad, Jersey isn't what those shows make us out to be, thats just a small age class of 18-30 YOs and yeah if your looking to party Jersey got it. My only problem with this state is the imense traffic, you wanna get anywere quick in Jersey then you don't drive between 6-9 AM and 4-8PM all week. Weekends in the summer the Gardern State Parkway is a parking lot down the shore areas.

Got to get into the brakes and see why she's activating the ABS at low speeds. I did find some stuff on goggle about a recall on 99 and up models because od the said ABS problems, just need to see if the old owner brought it in for service. Seems the hub mounted sensor gets dirty and causes faulty signals to the ABS modual.


usually the abs sensors are dirty from pad dust and shit. try using a brake cleaner in a can before you replace all those.

Man, it really makes jersey look like a real shit hole. I use to go up to pennslyvania, I miss going up there. If I was you I'd get outta dodge quick ha.

They're 20's right? I'd buy them if he's giving you a good price. There's a guy on here and his stepdad or something has a Tahoe on Escalade rims and it looks awesome. The guy's name is 2drhoeon4s I think. Search his posts.

Yea I would say you got a pretty decent deal on the truck considering the options and mileage, which are fairly low. And the problems you stated aren't too bad. I've had mine for 4 years now and have fixed/done way more to it. And despite it having 197k and spending counless time, effort, and dollars on it I still love it. And it's still not quite where I want it.
