*knonking on wood* the only issue I've had is my air ride blew out about a week ago but that too is an easy fix. 4 Bilstein shocks $260 shipped and DIY install

I just bought a 2002 tahoe with 83k miles. What can I expect as far as repair costs? What are the most common repairs for this generation Tahoe?

Thanks for the help...

At 83k, the first thing I would do is change the tranny fluid for $150. You can go with full synthetic but it's not necessary. I would also go with changing the gear oils and go full synth on that which is an additional $40-70 I think? Shit I cant remember now..

Then the typical stuff like plugs, wires, fuel filter, air filter, and on your 02 you have an AC cabin filter underneath the glove box. There are a couple good threads here at TYF for replacing this, it's really easy just kinda hard to get to. I can't for the life of me remember which way the air flow goes on it but like I said there are a couple thread.

These are all doityourself and you can price it all on sites like www.partstrain.com

How much did you get the 02 for?

Good luck, and welcome

Yall are scaring him off. lol. This are good trucks and if you take care of them they can last a long time. I see tons of NBS tahoes around here.

Welcome to the forum! Repairs aren't too bad at all from my experience thus far.
