Thats nice man

I feel you. I sold off my ram 1500 in October of 2021 and tried to find a cheaper full-size truck but was out of luck. I needed something that I could fit comfortably in, take skiing and tow my boat. After months of searching I landed on a Nissan Frontier, a little small for my boat but it works.

Congrats! 7k was a great price!

Thanks!

I had a really hard time getting a silverado 1500 last year and I ended up with a 2010 tahoe LT and I love it

My border patrol Tahoe has all kinds of cut wiring for their lights and brackets I freaking love mine. If you want some good ideas on how to build it I’ve got a damn good Offroad build

That bracket under the dash. Pretty darn sure thats for trailer brakes. The black coming off the grill seems to be spray paint. (I could be wrong on both)

The weird wiring is a direct positive coming in for many things, lights, radios etc. The holes behind the map light was likely a much larger round interior light that operates in white or red mode, and the holes in the roof look to be the typical size for antennas. Good thing you got a 2009 because those don't have that crappy 4-8 cylinder shut down that causes a lot of issues for the 5.3

It has the cylinder deactivation as far as I'm aware. It's an LMG 5.3L which has the DOD system.

@@Dustrunnersauto gotcha i drive a 2010 PPV but it doesn't have the cylinder mess.

I don’t know if you’ve still got this Tahoe but I’m about to be driving a Tahoe SSV I just bought from Phoenix all the way back here to Connecticut. It’s a 2009 retired border patrol version with 78,000 miles. It has been converted to a mix between an LS/LT. New front paint matched bumper without fog lights (since the US border patrol takes the front bumper off of that generation of Tahoe for more ground clearance), but on the interior, the front seats have been swapped with leather and a factory front center console, but it still has the non-leather steering wheel. I was just wondering if you’ve still got yours and if there is any mechanical issues I should be looking for specific to it being a SSV Tahoe considering they may have low miles but an absurd amount of idle hours?

I have a 2011 SSV and I love it.

What’s the mileage and how’s it been. I’m looking at a 2013 ssv with 160k miles. 12500 asking price.

Crazy seeing two batteries on a gasser.

It may be the fire department type truck

i work for my county as a mechanic and what we do when we auction these vehicles is cut all the wires at the end and leave the rest in there. then remove the snipped out accessories gps tracker, spotlight, radios, antenna and lights. so that accessory battery is pretty much garbage and everything wiring connected to that because it was all snipped at the end. you got a lot of free spaghetti 🤌 edit: great vehicles tho because they never miss maintenances and are always low mileage for age

Yeah when people don't maintain their cars properly that can be a huge problem regarding reliability and longevity.

Would be curious how many idle hours are on a 150k supervisor vehicle.

@ajlr4413

probably in the 4-6 thousand hour range

Yeah engine hours could be a big downside when buying used police cars. There used to be factory new Ford Police Interceptor Utility's on sale, that was crazy, a brand new police car with all the upgrades. If you aren't a sissy who needs all the creature comforts police cars are clearly superior, they are much more durable. If only you could buy those new pursuit rated F-150s.

I have a 2007 Tahoe SSV Border Patrol edition, I got it with 80k miles on it. I’ve have it for 5 years and it still drives like butter. Granted I had to change the front control, sway, shocks, and coils

maybe a former Border Patrol vehicle?

Put a Dmax in it...lol

That was a mistake
