What are the weak points of the Chevy half ton tahoes and silverados from 1996-1999?
I have quite a few friends with these trucks and none of them have really had any major problems, even with high milage.
I have to buy my own car this summer (first time for me) and I'm looking at the 1500 Z-71 Silverados and the 2 door tahoes. I'm leaning towards the tahoe just because i've always like SUVs better than trucks, i dunno why but i've had both and thats the way it is. It looks as if the trannies are pretty bulletproof, and the 350 is as reliable as ever.
However because of the model years that i am looking at, I'm probably going to have to settle for something with at least 110-120K on the odometor. Would you say that its a safe bet to buy one with so many miles? What are some weak points or problems i should look for when buying one?
