Just purchased a 2001 Burb with the 8.1 4L80E 4x4 for a price so low that if I have to replace the engine or tranny it was still worth it. (I can make my money back in scrap if I want to)
It has a little rust in the rockers and tailgate. The interior is missing the third row and rear headrests, and carpet is a little worn. But overall not bad.
Engine runs strong, transfer case is solid, Tranny is in limp mode, but should be sorted with a new ignition switch (it is known bad). Even if the Tranny needs addressed I still made out like a bandit.
has a small lift already installed, with aftermarket wheels and tires that will last a year or so. Also came with an adjustable hitch/ball that is worth almost what I paid for the pile. (Yes, that good of a deal, no not stolen)
Going to swap out the ignition switch, do basic services (oil, tranny, plugs, wires, diffs, etc.) when I get it back up to Raleigh Thursday.
Any thoughts on other things I might need to look at on it that is specific to this type of tow vehicle? My last tow pig was a 2006 F250 with the 6.0 that I owned since off the lot.
This is just a beater hunting/fishing/tow-pig, so I want to keep it as cheap as possible.
