Considering those points, I'd suggest selling the 4runner private party and then using that cash to buy a suburban. That way you keep your economy commuter (to offset the fuel you're gonna buy for the big girl) and also so you have a new utility vehicle, this one that will carry a dozen people, or basically be a truck that the bed contents are all kept inside...you can load up your next roadtrip with bicycles, kayaks, luggage and even a canoe inside of the suburban AND tow a boat!

Im not getting rid of my truck its been great to me

I've got a 2012 Tahoe LTZ and have had the dash crack, blend door actuator fail, engine mount break (fixed that permanently - check out Atomic F&P for a poly mount) and use a Range AFM disabler since 96K. No oil consumption issues, I run high mileage full synthetic and I'm about to hit 160K. Aside from those fairly minor issues that I fixed all on my own, it has been a very reliable vehicle. I've had multiple offers from individuals and dealers to buy it (some are a little tough to turn down) but I can't bring myself to get rid of it. Love my Tahoe. I'll keep it until it costs more to fix than it's worth. It's worth mentioning the engine mount breaking issue and that the AC condenser will fail around 150K, which is pretty typical for basically every car out there. Still, nothing major.

Bought an 08 with the 5.3L about 6-8 months ago. Had 120k miles. Did the valve cover replacement/update. Also the engine hasn't shown any issues with the AFM so I purchased the Range AFM disabler that plugs into the obd2 port. It tells the engine to always run on all 8 cylinders to help avoid the problems associated with the AFM system.

Had to replace drivers side engine mounts on both. Exhaust manifold bolt heads snap off. Especially drivers side rear bolt. Replaced drive shafts on both due to rust and out of balance producing violent shaking at 79 mph. Also included is shocks/struts, brake system overhaul and heavy maintenance.

Trying to help and not pick apart your content. With that said, it is portrayed that the flex fuel has to do with the active fuel management system. Flex fuel system stands for the types of fuel you can run such as pure ethanol, or any mix. The Active Fuel Management is the deactivation of 8 cylinders to 4 cylinders, changing constantly as demand is needed. Great concept that really does work, that is if you have all new components. The time goes on and the materials used are not tough enough to take the abuse of going and stopping repeatedly. 8 lifters have springs that will go bad. 8 lifters are standard lifters. The spring lifters will go bad. Many poor materials were used in these trucks, from the interior/exterior to the drive train. They can be resolved you just need the desire and money to do so.

For oil consumption! Replace the pcv valve to a new one and add a catchcan. I do this to all my vehicles. Trust me! you will find what is being fed back to engine oily waterish substance. JLT and UPR make good non expensive catchcans and check valves.

We just purchased a 13 tahoe ltz. First thing I did after driving it home was plugged in the range obd2 afm delete. Never leaves v8 mode now.

I own an 08, and my dash is all kinda of cracked. 170k miles.

‘05-06 Tahoe Z71 ftw

My 07 Tahoe 5.3L 4wd is awesome hardly any issues and at 180,000 miles now. 4wd light came on 1 year figured out it was just the brain under the dash $60 fix. Surprised you didn't bring up the common but sometimes unheard "whistle" while driving. Don't know if there is a fix but my ears hear it with the window cracked on the freeway. My old 99 Tahoe was just as reliable

It’s the rear volume controls module

i feel number 3, my dad bought a tahoe with a cracked dash, bought a new dash off a denali and its already starting to fall apart like a year later, gonna get the windows tinted soon for that, clear for the windshield and dark for the rear windows, i live in saudi so this is essential now.

You should really invest in a windshield shade, too. Especially out there!

The used auto lot here in my town always has these trucks, we need something newer, I drive a 99 explorer but I'm a Chevy guy, my truck is a 1990 Chevy 1500 but I don't daily drive it. I'm really interested in one of these.

Yes it is, only the 5.3 from 07-14

I can't help but wonder what's a better solution. Engine swap , or purchase a different ymm Suburban with the 6.2 .

I have a 2010 Z71 Tahoe and is working like a swiss clock.

I have been looking for a theft deterrent steering wheel lock for the 2007 Chevy Tahoe. Any recommendations? I wanted the yellow Stoplock, but it seems they are not made for my Tahoe.

I'm pricing 2015 models now, though mostly the yukons. Glad I saw this. Any specifics on the AC issue.

From what ive heard watching scotty kilmer the ac stops blowing cold and to fix it you gotta take the whole dash apart to fix it and that takes really long, the entire fix takes like 14 hours according to scotty, the older tahoes had a much better design, no ac issues and you dont have to take the dash apart to fix the ac which wont even break, oh yeah my dad replaced an entire dash at home, didnt take him that long and it was a simple job, the column shifter got in the way a couple times but thats it

i put my front bulbs in through the top without going through the fender

Stay away from the 2007 Tahoes. I purchased one new and never used it for towing or plowing. The transmission went on it three times. with less than 36,000 miles When I brought it in to Chevrolet dealer there were many other Tahoes and Suburbans there with the same problem. My friend owned the dealership and after the second repair Chevrolet gave me a new transmission under the GM Goodwill program. The same thing happened with the new unit 14,000 miles later. The issue each time was the Sprag that caused the issue. I had a 2005 Suburban for two years with no issues and three K5 Blazers from the 70's and 80's. Never any issues. PS my friend told me if true they went to a Cadillac transmission in 2008 and no more problems. I have owned many Corvettes from the 60's and early 70's and a new one in 2009 no issues to this day.

The OEM torque converter is the problem, they come apart and destroy the tranny. PDQ run about $250

I just to use synthetic on my hybrid Tahoe and my Ford ranger and both were burning a lot of oil. Went back to regular high mileage oil and the consumption has decreased tremendously.

Is it better to get the 1st gen? I have found some good 07 for sale near me.
