[QUOTE="Glock 40, post: 3235586, member: 32"] So you have a early-mid 2000s Tahoe or Suburban? No way I would drop 2k on a top end rebuild. Have you looked at possibly doing a GM crate motor replacement? The performance ones are pricey but a plain jane replacement may not be to bad. If you really want to drive this thing for a lot longer that would be the option I would check out. I had multiple Tahoes in that generation and my last one had the mystery coolant leak. Never could find the leak sent a oil sample to Blackstone Labs and it has traces of coolant. I used a gallon a year for a few years till it finally started leaking bad. I ended up trading it off when it was puffing smoke when I would start it. [/QUOTE]
