1998 Chevrolet Tahoe Lt 4dr 4x4 from North America - Comments

I too own a '99 2 Dr Chevy Tahoe Lt. Used with 500 miles on it. I love it!!! I have had many GM / Chevy dealer's trying to buy it from me. What's up with that? She is beautiful. I will never get rid of it. Nice condition. Everything inside original. Outside has took a lick-en and kept on tick-en. It has got me through some of the roughest winters in Michigan. I heard from a good source that it was one of the best designs of Chevy's. Not many made and they are trying to get them all back. Anyone heard anything like that? Hey where can I go to get info on when and why they retired it and some nice accessories for my baby?

I am the proud owner of a 1998 2DR 4x4 Chevy Tahoe and I love it! It has the standard cloth interior that comes with the sport package; everything but the leather seats in which I don't miss at all living in Georgia where the blistering summer sun can be very uncomfortable on leather. I got the Tahoe with 115,000 miles on it and to date the only thing that I have had to replace that you wouldn't consider tune up or normal wear and tear would be the poorly designed radiator that they have been using in late model GM vehicles. My Tahoe currently has 177,000 miles and runs like new. Take care and take pride in your Tahoe, especially you former K-5 Blazer lovers like me and that Tahoe will take care of you. Chevy and GMC had a great design with the 2DR Tahoe, it would be nice if they would give us something like that again with the newer designs.

I own a 1996 Tahoe and love it.. Have had it for 92,000 miles, got it when it had 60,000 so am up to 152,000,000 total... best vehicle I have ever owned. I did replace the manifold gasket and the fuel pump at 125,000 (corroded harness burnt it out, re-spliced it to a generic harness as factory one was $300.00, generic harness ran $7.00). Everything else normal wear and tear (brake job, tune up, oil changes...). Will never get rid of it. I have to replace the U joint tomorrow myself ($15.99, & 1/2 hour of my time), runs like brand new, smooth and strong.

Proud to drive a 1998 GMC Yukon SLE loaded 2dr., tailgate door. 4x4, 200,000 miles.

Minor issues like fuel pump, rear wheel seals & brakes at 198,000.

Slight leak on oil cooler lines.

Exterior mirror on drivers side does not work in up & down direction.

BCM is giving me issues with interior lights not working when opening doors. Pretty much everything else has been routine maintenance that I do myself, no big issues so far.

Mine is white ext./grey int. with Lund ground effects kit and visor & custom A/R rims. I have had dealers & people on the street ask me if I want to sell. This week alone I have had four people tell me how nice it looks. I have always loved the look.

I've added Crystal headlites & HID kits w/6000k bulbs and a factory Homelink in my overhead console from a Suburban to operate my garage doors. I own 13 cars & cycles including a custom Hummer H2 SUT & this is my favorite unit to drive next to my 1997 regular cab short-box 4x4 Silverado with 168,000 miles!!!

GM should have put more effort into marketing 2 doors rather than comparing it to the four door sales, which were inflated by the buying former station wagon Moms (OK, a lot of guys also).

What I'm saying is 2 door buyers were always a stable market for GM going back to the 1969 Blazer, GMC cousin. GM hardly even mentioned 2 doors in the later year brochures, they pushed the 4 doors for profitability. There are no forums for the 4 doors, but are for the 2 doors, that should tell you something about loyalty of the 2 door owners and the desire-ability of the 2 doors!!

I've owned many 2wd & 4wd 2 door Blazers & Jimmy's and liked everyone of them. I fondly remember a 1972 2wd light green CST Blazer with a Feathers decal package & custom rims/tires that returned around 21 MPG on many trips. GM seems to have challenges building anything like that today!!!

I've got a 99 2 dr 4wd Tahoe that my parents bought new... I bought it off of them at 196k, and I've got 208k on it now with original motor and trans... I've replaced the pitman and idler arms and resealed the intake manifold, but all in all this vehicle considering the mileage is amazing... This vehicle has been down 100's of miles of dirt roads in Baja, and even recently I'm still running cross desert runs without thinking twice about it getting me home.. Very confident in my bowtie.

I have a 98 Tahoe 2 door 4x4. Right now it is sitting in my driveway with a bad rod-bearing. It has had many small-large issues since I bought it in '03. It has 117k and I've done the front brakes twice, inner/outer tie rods on both sides, both stabilizer links, intake manifold gasket, water pump, quick disconnect valve, driver's inner door handle twice, blower fan control switch (melted), mirror adjust switch (melted), tail light circuit board (melted), needs a fuel pump and filter, front dif leaks, brakes squeal again, ABS engages while slowing at slow speeds (5-10mph), wiper motor is bad, right wiper arm splines stripped, oil drain plug stripped. The body is in excellent condition and the interior is clean. I love the truck but they have way too many issues. I will be fixing the engine as soon as I have access to a lift...
