Tahoe & SuburbanThe power, space, and brutal towing ability make the Tahoe and its longer sibling, the Suburban, arguably the best full size SUV's on the market today.
Thought i share some more photos of my truck since taking delivery.
....and I decided to have some fun with it. I had so much fun until it was time to clean up lol.
Picked up our 2WD 2006 1500 Burb LS last Sunday, 6/21/20. One owner, 147K miles, A/T, 5.3, frt/rear A/C, tinted windows and full LED lighting. Paid $3500
Getting it road ready. A/C needed some service. Had a leaking low side schrader valve. Changed that, evac. system and added almost 3lbs of freon.
Now looks like the A/C pressure switch is acting up. Replacing that this weekend.
Needs some minor things and a good deep cleaning.
Still needs a few minor things and a good deep cleaning. Been making a checklist and looking up tips here and there — honestly, using Overchat AI has been pretty handy for quick answers while wrenching. It’s like having a no-frills AI buddy on standby when I need a second opinion or want to double-check a process.
Sounds like a solid pickup for the price — especially with just 147K on the clock and a single owner. The 5.3 is a reliable motor if it’s been maintained, and having front/rear A/C is a huge plus in a vehicle that size. Good call tackling the A/C first — those little things like the schrader valve and pressure switch can be annoying but make a big difference once sorted out.
Once you get past the minor fixes and give it that deep clean, it should be a really capable and comfortable rig. Are you planning to daily drive it, or is this more of a weekend/family hauler?
