Hello all, Long time owner of a 2004 Tahoe 5.3 4wd. We live on a mountain and use the 4x every winter on unplowed BLM roads. Shes does well until high centering underneath.
Finally time to replace the motor so currently knee deep in the engine bay, literally. Look at purchasing a reman this week, cleaning everything up, adding the pump rub kit and possibly a free-er flowing exhaust as the pipes are getting a bit rusty.
Anyways the truck been great even while drinking coolant from the 706 cracked head for past 80k. Internals look like some creature from SiFi with caked oil sludge everywhere. She kept running though up until a lifter got fed up. Learning a lot about these motor and look forward to participating in the forum and helping with my experiences when I can.
