Is what I'm looking for impossible to find? by johnvn86

Hi I'm currently in the market for a two door tahoe. Well I wanted to ask a couple of questions considering this will be my first SUV and my first Chevy.
First I'm looking for a Two Door Tahoe or Yukon that is no older than 1995 or 1994 (depending on conditions). Second I want the 6.5 Tubro Diesel with no more than 150,000 miles. Is what I am looking for impossible to find?
I'm not asking for people to help me buy it I'm just asking can I still find a Tahoe or Yukon in this condition?
 Thanks

I have basically the same problem except only my speedometer is the only thing that quit. Anyone know what I can do to fix it?

No, not impossible to find...but almost. The two-door Tahoes and Yukons have sort of a cult following. They can bring stupid money sometimes, especially with the turbo diesel engine! The prices are all over the place on them (check out autotrader.com and ebaymotors.com)
 
And folks just love to jack 'em up and modify them...which in my humble opinion ruins the look and the value. They also tend to be like buying a used BMW or Vette...in many cases, they've had the piss run out of them.
 
So, the caveat here would be buyer beware. Make sure you're getting a nice one, and be prepared to look for a while if you insist on the turbo diesel engine. If you're willing to drive (or fly) a ways to find one, then autotrader or ebay motors would be the way to go.

'03 4 wheel drive not working when slowing down by cmorris1

My Tahoe 4-wheel drive makes grinding sounds when slowing down. If I am making a turn and slow down, the truck will come to a complete stop. However; it does great highway speeds. I am clueless as to what this can be.

Which 4x4 mode are your running when this happens and what are the road conditions? Dry, wet, snow, etc.

A Tahoe or Yukon with Turbo Deisel? Wow, that's one I've never seen.

I also have similar problem. My tachometer died first. Now the speedometer is also out after 2 months. When I went to the dealer (out of warranty - 45k miles), they quoted $650 to replace the entire cluster. Outrageous. Is this a possible factory recall issue?

In 4x4 hi and it doesn't matter what the road condition is, dry or wet. It just started doing this about 2 months ago. I don't know what the difference is?

I own a 2002 Chevy Tahoe..Nowhere in my owners manual does it tell you at what level(gallons remaining) that the light comes on...The tank holds 26 gallons..Does anyone know how much fuel you have left in the tank when light comes on???? Thanks, Steve

You should not be in 4hi for any dry/wet road conditions. Only snow/ice/mud. 2hi and autotrac are the only selections that can be used on anything besides slippery surfaces (wet is not considered slippery). 4hi locks your axles together and powers both front and rear wheels. When you turn, the axles are binding because the inside wheels are not able to turn at different speeds, which they must do when turning. You're essentially destroying your 4x4. It's not noticeable at highway speeds because you're not making any turns large enough to bind the axles. A quick description of the settings:
 
Autotrac- Can be used on any surface. All power is sent to the rear axle until slippage occurs. When the rear tires slip, 50% of power is almost instantly shifted to the front axles. It's not as good as 4x4, but the big benefit is you can drive on all surfaces. This is great when the roads are partially slippery, or you're driving some clear roads/some slippery roads etc.
 
4hi- Can only be used on slippery surfaces. The road has to be slippery enough to let the front tires slip when making turns, otherwise the drivetrain can bind up and cause major damage. Best choice when roads are completely snow-covered or when off-roading.
 
2hi- Use any time, only rear axles get power.
 
4lo- Same basic use as 4hi except the vehicle is geared significantly lower. Use mainly off-road, or perhaps when pulling very heavy loads up very steep hills at slow speeds (boat ramps/heavy trailer). Not good for on-road use really.
