Been searching for months locally for a used Tahoe, 4wd 6.5, nothing to be found.
I have located a 96 Tahoe 5.7 gasser with 146K CLEAN NO RUST, the guy has owned it for the last 10yrs & put about 100K of the miles on it, garage kept. The front end has been totally rebuilt within the last 6 months, many other new parts & it has never towed anything more then a 18ft boat & NO plow ever. Steady diet of Mobile 1 syn oil 5K changes.
I really wanted a 6.5 but if I can pick this up for about $3K I am very tempted to do it. I only want it for the 4wd & will only drive it when we have heavy snows, about 100 mile round trip to work for me right next to Lake Michigan south side of Chicago.
So what do you 6.5 gents recommend? Will this 5.7 eat me out of house & home compared to my 19mpg avg I get with my 6.5? What kind of mpg will the 350 get, like maybe 15mpg or???
I know this is not really a 6.5 question, but I would really value all of your unbiased opinions.
TIA
