Again, thanks for the replies and I enjoy reading the posts here on this site. As for me, this is my second Tahoe and I had my 2001 LT for 11 years. Generally speaking, I did put two new transmissions in my 01 but I think the having 20 inch wheels with the wrong tire sizes may have contributed to that by changing the transmission shift points. As I noted earlier, I actually worked for General Motors and Chevrolet for 15 years in sales prior to my new profession. It's possible I am brainwashed but I firmly believe there just isn't another SUV out on the market that can ever begin to compare with a Tahoe or Yukon though I prefer the BOWTIE...........
