What year Tahoe most reliable up to 2006

[Yukonboy2014]

The 2002 was the last year for the throttle cable mechanical control, right? I am getting rid of an 02 Avalanche and that aspect was one of the reasons I bought that year. Any input would be great. Thanks in advance.

I have an '01 with DBW...The only noticeable difference between the two is, a slight lag between pedal pressing and the engine responding. Slight...not very noticeable at all unless you're looking for it.

They are all pretty reliable. If you want a more new feel, then go with the updated 03+ models. That being said, the only major problem that I can think of for those models is blend door actuators getting stuck for the front HVAC. Other than that...they're all pretty solid. BTW as stated, 05-06 had factory EFans, if that is desirable.

Thanks all for the replies. When I do make the leap it will be hard because the 02 Avalanche just has no problems and runs like a top. Hell may keep it and just get another Tahoe. Had a 96 2 door new that I liked years ago. Maybe just search for an older 2 door and have them both. HMMMMMMMMMMM
