IM BACK!!!!
Yea I know, digging up an old thread.. But its relevant.
So shortly after I made my first post, the Hoe's motor started knocking, and knocking, and knocking some more.. I kept driving it, cause of the money I had in it, and lack of funds to get it fixed.
One morning I woke up, and the knock was gone! Made a B-Line to a local dealership that had a 2004 GMC Envoy XUV that I had been eyeing, and traded it off. 2 weeks later the dealer salesman called, "why didnt you tell us about the knocking engine", to which I replied, "no idea what your talking about", and hung up.
Been driving that Envoy since. Been a wonderful 130k miles. Still runs and drives beautifully.. But, it has been delegated to "spare vehicle service" on Saturday. 202k Miles on that LM4 V8. Good truck, but I have 2 little boys (3 year old, and a newborn), and I wanted something I could count on like a politician after your taxes, and wanted something a bit bigger. And although I trust that Envoy, I wouldnt want to take it on any trips..
I searched for a 2003-2006 Tahoe (last of the good years in my opinion), Yukon, Escalade, with low miles...
So, I picked up a 2006 Escalade with 80k miles on Saturday. Picked it up, for a decent price, needs a bit of work. But dont they always? Rear Air Suspension (Z55) is dead, tires, missing spare tire, sunroof needs some repair. Other than a dent on the front passenger fender, shes a beauty!
Rear heated bucket seats, factory nav, 6 disc, and all the other stuff.
New to the 6.0, but not the LS as whole.
So here I am, and should be for awhile.
