Welcome from NH, and very good looking truck!

This is a great Forum, and part of what makes it great is that everybody contributes. Lurking is OK, but two-way conversations benefit all members so much more.

So, go ahead and ask your questions, after some independent searching, and in many cases, folks will respond with links to existing threads on related topics that you could not find in your independent search.

Welcome from Iowa Jacob.

Nice looking truck.

For your list of things to do, if you don’t know when they were last done, might consider the following items:

Spark plugs and wires.
Fluid changes in front and rear differential as well as transfer case.
Transmission Pan drop and filter replacement.
Coolant flush.

Be cautious about any rubber undercoating on metal. It is known to trap moisture and INCREASE corrosion. If you strip the frame down, hot dip it, and then dip it entirely in the coating then you have a chance. Otherwise look at the other options like NH Oil, Fluid Film or some other sort of annual lanolin undercarriage treatment.

Thanks, I've used Fluid Film on my raptor (AMSOIL). I knocked off any spots I could see with a wire brush and just wanted to make sure it protected, so the rubber spray was the fast solution. I might revisit after the winter to see how its held up.

I do know that some Weathertech or husky mats are in need asap!

A lot of people have been going with Husky as the Weathertechs have been curling up on them.

I went with the GM all weather mats in my 16 Suburban and am using the in my 19 Suburban. They are holding up well.

Welcome from Miami Beach Jacob!

Looks to be in overall excellent shape. I would say 15.5 was a very good price for your 15 PPV.

Out of curiosity do know what agency had your PPV Tahoe? Any service records?
