Looking for Tahoe / Bronco / Yukon / Blazer

[Blue]

K5s are pretty cool. They don't make SUVs like they used to. Everything is pretty much all plastic now
200k on that Tahoe is a lot of miles but the price is fair.

My 1998 Suburban has 271k miles on it. 200k aint nothin

how many rebuilds ?

I have a 2000 Dodge Dakota 85,000 miles and every available option for sale.

thanks but I prefer a little something bigger. Believe it or not, I've been looking for a 4x4 for a few months now

Another one you might consider is a Plymouth trailduster or a Dodge Ramcharger, they come Full time 4wd, all dana suspension with lockers, 360 or 440 motor with a 727 automatic trans. all factory, very reliable and cheap cause people don't seem to know that the tops come off like a K5, plus they use the same parts as the regular dodge pickups for engine and trans parts.

I like mine.

Make sure you get the one that has the bigger hubs. In some years they had a small lug pattern hub. Stay away from those hubs or if you get a good deal on it change out the front hubs. Not many trail dusters out there but they are good 4x4s.
You can find decent broncos that havent been beat to death but asking for less than 100 000 well you may find one but youre gonna pay a premuim for it jsut because people will think its worth x amount more. My old GMC has 340 000 mils on the original motor still runs. the tranny was rebuilt at 160 000 and its still going strong. As long as the seller can prove all the maintenance was done I woudlnt be afraid to buy a higher mileage truck as long as it was maintained.
I got a new truck thinking that i wont have problems and at 72000 miles the motor took a crap. i maintained it it just was a bad motor. I rebuilt it and it runs great now. I pan on getting at least 200 000 out of it.

Do you have a bronco too ?

So here she is. Not everyone appreciates an old car in my family but I do

the dual steering stabilizers are a nice touch! keeps the TTB better aligned and less squirely on bumps.

i might also recommend wider wheels fo ryour tires. it looks like you have 35x12.5R15 and the wheels look like 15x7

Yeah I'm not sure what the size of the wheel is ... guy told me they were either pro comp or american racing wheels. Looks like you can see / tell a lot from pictures
