Tonyrodz's Tahoe Build Thread

[bottomline2000]

Hell no. Coldest it's been here is 29 and all I've dealt with is rain. Also do you have any idea why my ABS and E-Brake lights would come on randomly? Nothing bad is happening it's just a peace of mind thing and I'm always more nervous when they come on

ABS Module more than likely. The joints go bad over time and have to be soldered again..

@Tonyrodz , they’ve started putting a salt mixture of some kind of the roads this winter before major storms. Says it’s a “de-icing” process. I’m pissed! Lol this is California and I’m not supposed to be dealing with salt!! Lol hopefully the underside of my truck doesn’t start looking like you’re in the spring!!

It takes a while. My burbs underside looks the same as Tony’s and I’m from eastern pa. Just need to keep it clean and seal/paint it

Most likely it's brine. A mixture of salt and liquid.

Going strong--still.

I thought bribe for some reason was brownish. Lol. I don’t know why I think that.

Just about the same mileage as the 05 I bought. It still has the original 5.3 though. Blows smoke at startup after sitting for a long time but other than that it runs and drives great.

Is the trans original too?

I don’t know. It was bought at auction by the PO and I have no service records. He changed all the fluids before I bought it though. I figured for $3500 including a new dd stereo and sub, led headlights, 22” rims etc Id take a chance. So far so good.
