Hey Everyone, My wife and I picked up a new to us 2011 Tahoe today. We are pretty excited about this one. Here are the nerdy specs2011 Tahoe5.3l V8 6 Speed Transmission3.08 rear axle116k miles2wd (I’ve been looking for years for a good 2wd, they are scarce because most people want a 4x4 or the 2wd are worn out from use)About 1550 lbs of payload5,500 lbs tow ratingIMMACULATE leather interior (minus the broken dash)Runs like a scalded dogTowing in the future? Probably. A fishing boat for sure. A Travel Trailer? Maybe a small one. I am not really interested in towing a 32 ft TT with this. Anyway, here is a pic of me and the new to us Tahoe. Looks pretty snazzy Thanks!Jeremiah

Nice new ride there Jeremiah! I still remember your days with the old F150 and the F350 dually!Take care!Mitch

Make sure you get a chip to take the cylinder deactivation out! My wife's had that and it starved the cylinder on the left bank of oil and had to rebuild the engine.

I agree get the chip to stop the cylinder deactivation. I think range is the name. There is one that increases the cylinder deactivation and one that stops it. Make sure to get the one that stops it.

Yes, "snazzy" for sure, and the Tahoe looks great too! Congrats on finding what you wanted!

Thank you!

Also, as to the cylinder deactivation, I will check on that for sure. I thought that was a 2015 and up addition but I will make sure it doesn’t apply to my 2011.

Thanks!
