I was taking my running boards off today and its been a while since I've been under the Yukon and I found this shit. Not sure if its repairable or even worth fixing. I have a about 4-5k worth the new stuff in it over the last 2 years.

looks like an easy fix to me

Welcome to the Arizona summer and the money vacuum it creates with the 'Hoe! Was down 2 pounds of R-134A, needed new seals, evaporator and compressor (not too shabby considering all those parts were factory from 1998!). Replaced driver's side CV axle and boot, clean and adjusted the rear brakes (what a difference that made in eliminating the mushy brake pedal). Flushed the brake fluid (now that was some dark and scary looking shit). Installed Airaid 200-520 PowerAid Throttle Body Spacer and K&N 57-3013-2 Fuel Injection Performance Kit Gen2 Air Intake Kit - what a difference those have made. Gonna have to wait and see how it affects HP and fuel economy.

Your lucky! I just checked Tahoe prices in Utah and most run around $3200, usually with the same mileage as mine. Most cars up here that are fifteen years or older usually have rust because of all the salt on the road and nobody washes their cars. I might have to take a trip down south for my next car.

You should sometimes we get Northoners with rotted out cars and just laugh. Nobody touches northern cars unless your not too bright in the head. Dude I know picked a ram up we made fun of him he has rust bubbles, frozen bolts and its not worth close to what he paid

Haha that sounds like every car in Utah! You want something with no rust expect to pay out the ass for it up here. My friend has an 06 Durango that makes me laugh whenever I hop in it. The bottom of the door is rusted and there's a huge 5" rust bubble on the lift gate. According to him his Durango "kicks my Tahoe's ass" lol, he wishes.

I would get your money back on the spacer block.

Ok Jonathan, when you tell someone to do something like that, that seems completely nonsensical, you have to explain WHY they should do this. You have access to and know more information about our favorite trucks, however, you're not god and your word is not gospel.
