Onebad1983's 02 NBS Tahoe Slow Build

[Tide]

Found this one as well. 243k miles seems like a lot to me but it does seem very well taken care of...

Oil pressure is super high for idling isn’t it?
Super clean truck.

Oil pressure sensor might be bad. Somewhat common.

I would assume that the gauge doesn't read 100% accurate but I could be wrong.

I am a huge fan of my cloth seats. I honestly think that they are more comfortable than the leather seats and I have been in quite a few of these trucks with leather. I'm jealous of that 02s cloth seats with the full center console. I have the center seat.

As nice as that red z71 looks, I personally wouldn't buy it. You almost always get a better price and better history on the vehicle from an individual instead of a dealer

You can always change out your jump seat for a center console.

I could but it is not easy to find a set of gray cloth seats with arm rests and a full console. I am not willing to do one without the other...

Ok gotcha. I did it to mine, and I love it. I didn't swap my seats, kept the non armrest ones.

Your last bit isn’t always true. I bought my 2006 from the same dealership that sold it new to its original owner. And they had all maintenance done at the dealership. When I bought the truck the car fax report showed every maintenance that was done to the truck up until they traded it in at the dealership, and the dealer gave me the folder with all the copies of the work done on the truck. I have it all in a folder at home. And every time I do work in it I add to the folder. Lol

Sure thats a general guideline not a rule. That's why I said almost always. I'd also bet you didn't get yours cheap unless you know someone at that dealership, but I could be wrong...

I have every service on my Tahoe since brand new because my parents bought it brand new. Mom got the oil changed religiously and overall we have taken very good care of it over the years. I also have a folder. If I was selling it, I would be asking a premium because of it. As I'm sure you know, vehicles like we have are exceptions to the rule. Most used car lots buy auction vehicles, shine them up, and ask top dollar because thats how they make the most profit.

I've thought about it, but every time I drive/ride in one of these trucks with the full console I use the armrest. I feel like it would bug me if I didn't really have somewhere to put my right arm. If I find one locally I would probably pick it up and try it.
