General comments?
This truck is a money pit. I've had it for a little over two years and I have put over $5,000 in it, not including regular maintenence. These Chevy's are absolute pieces of garbage. I actually went out and bought a Honda, just so I didn't have to keep driving my Tahoe all the time. I like driving the truck, when it's running well, which is never. The truck is falling apart and it was a one owner truck that was in perfect condition. Now, it needs a fuel pump, radiator, and my three month old transmission is leaking again. This truck is a waste of money. GM should be embarrassed. I have too much in it to get rid of it.
