New battery installed

Re: New battery installed
Two things to check for when buying a used Tahoe. If it's an 08-09, ensure that there is no camshaft damage. Get a Tech II on it and check for misfires - particularly in Cylinder #8. If it shows a misfire, then avoid the vehicle. If it doesn't, then get a full engine oil cleanout, even if you pay $500 for it, then switch and stay with full synth.
The other issue is the battery (All years). If the vehicle hiccups or stalls when accelerating from a stop, then the battery is wearing down. You'll likely not have ANY codes pop out for it. Just be aware.
Each of those two conditions will add around $4K+ to the cost of your vehicle.

Re: New battery installed
Sounds like GreenBean is the way to go with a full 5 year replacement? They come to you, almost like replacing a windshield, they show up and BAM done quickly., So what if it has to be traded out after 3 to 4 years? Who really thinks that a 10 yr old high mileage GM two mode Hybrid is worth spending big bucks on a new traction battery just to swell your chest and say NEW battery (putting lipstick on a pig LOL). Come On Man these Esckeys/Yukes and Ho's in almost perfect shape are selling for well under 10k just another old used unit that has extra liabilities.
