So I just joined and I've read the sticky on what to look out for when buying this gen tahoe. However, I still have a few questions before I make my pre-purchase inspection.
Here is the truck I'm looking at:
http://akroncanton.craigslist.org/cto/4625817153.html
Now - coolant disappearing are the faulty intake gaskets I'm assuming. How hard are those to do yourself? I'm assuming with a common problem like this, there is a DIY.
Next - the truck has Z71 stickers. What is included in that package so I can confirm it is real and not just stickers?
Towing: I plan on towing my 4500 open car trailer and race car with this truck. The current owner states the hitch looks aftermarket. So, what features did the factory towing package have on a 2-door 96? I assume a tranny cooler and engine oil cooler, but I couldn't find that info anywhere. Also, owner states there is no wiring harness for trailer lights or brakes that he could find... Did these trucks really come without anything?
Owner says AC cycles, but doesn't blow cold. I assume a leak someplace, but is that a common issue?
Lastly, any other advice before I go look at this truck? It looks to be in pretty decent shape for the year / miles.
Thank you in advance for any advice or links to my answers.
