[RedPossum]

As a noob, I see OBS, NBS, NNBS, at 4T something....what's the Tahoe/Yuk jargon?

OBS - Old Body Style 1991 - 1999
NBS - New Body Style 2000 - 2006
NNBS - New New Body Style 2007 - 2014

No one has made up their mind on the 2015+ name...

I think the 2015 owners should keep the NNNBS as the reference to there trucks. But should come up with something for the next body style in 5 years.

Thanks. I've been a Ford guy for longer than I can remember. But I came up on the 97 2DR at a deal of $1,700. So I'm just now getting into the Broken Bowtie stuff.

I tried getting into fords a few times and they allways let me down. In my younger days I drove a beat up chev and killed it. It kept going and going. So I stayed with Chevrolet and never looked back. And I never had the money to be come a mopar guy.

10fo. I've always had fantastic luck and history with the blue ovals.

I will give the blue oval some credit, my work truck has 500.000 KM burns oil like crazy makes all kinds of noises but still has a ton of power and keeps going.
