For sale is a white 1997 Tahoe LS 2 door. I believe I am only the second owner of this truck, of which I have owned since April of 2008. I purchased the truck with 95,000 miles and it now has 162,000 miles. The majority of those miles are all highway between a 50 mile round-trip work commute, upstate NY and the Jersey Shore. The truck has a gray cloth interior with a split bench seat. Since I have owned the truck I have had the following work done:

Rebuilt Transmission at 95k by A-1 Award Transmission in Huntington Station, NY

Entire new brake system including:
-new brake lines
-new calipers
-new wheel cylinders
-new rear brake shoes
New Intake Manifold Gaskets

Within the past 2 years the following has been done:
-new oil cooler line seals
-new spark plugs, rotor, distributor cap, ignition wires and fuel filter
-new battery

Within the past year the following has been done:
-new fuel pump (2 months old)
-new ignition switch
-new Cooper Discoverer 265/75-16 tires (approximately 5000 miles on them)
-new thermostat and fan belt
-new front brake pads

What it needs: Although the truck has A/C it does not hold a charge for longer than a few months. I have dyed the lines but have never really followed up to see where the leak is. So you are either going to have to service the A/C system or just charge it in the beginning of the summer. Also, the U-joints are going to need to be replaced at some point in the future. I just have not had time to get to it and they don't seem to be getting worse.

As you can see from the pictures the overall appearance of the truck is very clean considering it is almost 17 years old. The truck runs absolutely great and set aside from the normal Tahoe problems I have never had any real problems with it. The Vortec 5.7 burns about a quart of oil maybe every 3 months. The interior is also in great shape and everything is there, including the factory original spare tire. Everything works including power drivers seat. 

The 4x4 is electronic push button shift and works perfectly. I use it in the snow without any problems and to tow a 26' boat 2 times per year.

If there are any specific pictures you want to see please let me know.  I also encourage you to come see the truck in person prior to bidding. 

My reason for selling is I got a great deal on a new Ram 1500. The truck is located in Massapequa, New York, about 40 miles east of NYC. I will be around in the evening to show and test drive the truck. 

I am not looking to store the truck for any time so please be prepared to purchase within 7 days of auction close.  I accept cash or cashiers check, no personal checks.

Please call or text 516.606.9641 with any questions. Thanks for looking...

GM recalls full-size truck, SUVs and vans over faulty shifter mechanism

Mon, 07 Jan 2013

Twelve different General Motors vehicles from the 2013 model year, up to 54,686 units in total, are being recalled over two potential issues with their steering columns. The models in question, all full-size trucks, SUVs or vans, are the: Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT, Chevrolet Avalanche, Express, Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe, and GMC Savana, Sierra, Yukon and Yukon XL.
The affected vehicles were built with a fractured parking lock cable or "a malformed steering column lock actuator gear in the lock module assembly." As a consequence, they could shift out of park without the brake pedal being applied or with the key removed or in the off position.
A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration indicates that the recall should begin on January 17. GM will notify owners, at which time they can take their vehicles to their dealers for repair free of charge. Have a look at the bulletin below for more information.

Dodge vs. Chevy tug-of-war taken to the extreme

Mon, 17 Dec 2012

They say "idle hands are the devil's playground," but said playgrounds grow to Disney-sized proportions when a pair of jacked-up trucks, two egos, a chain and an empty mall parking lot are involved. Proof of this is the video below, which shows a Cummins-powered Dodge Ram circa 2006 to 2008 chained tail-to-tail with what looks to be a gasoline-powered Chevrolet Silverado from the late 1990s or early 2000s.
We don't necessarily have to tell you who wins this battle, but we'll let you see for yourself the lengths the "winning" driver goes to prove his point. There's plenty of foul language in the video below, so beware that this might be Not Safe For Work, and not that we should have to tell you, but please, do not try this at home.

Check out the official 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition commercial

Sat, 16 Mar 2013


The Poncho is dead. Long live the Poncho. Like certain other reoccurring personal maladies, the aftermarket community simply can't let the Trans Am go without another flare up. The guys at Trans Am Depot have worked up a quick commercial for their newest creation: The 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition, and it watches pretty much like you'd expect it to. The footage is comprised of just about every TA male fantasy you can conceive of, from Daisy Dukes and white tank tops to tramp stamps, bikinis and ice cream cones. There simply aren't words for what you'll see below.
Of course, we like our T-Tops as much as the next guy. If you like what you see in the videos, you can pick up your very own TA by heading over to the Trans Am Depot site. The guys even have Chevrolet Camaro-based versions of the Pontiac GTO if the '77 TA treatment is too much for your tastes. Enjoy, but don't say we didn't warn you.
