Our "new" 2016 Chevy Tahoe
In early 2004, we bought a 2001 Chevy Tahoe to use as our family truckster. It served us well for 15 years, and had 277K miles on the ticker when the transmission died. We had hoped to use it past 300K, but decided this was as good a time as any to upgrade to a newer vehicle. We loved the Tahoe's combination of maneuverability, cargo space, and towing capacity, so we replaced our 2001 with a 2016 Tahoe of the same color (Victory Red). Victory Red is a hard color to find, and we were forced into a rather quick purchase, so I didn't get to do as much up-front research as I would have liked before the purchase. Here, I'd like to share a few things that I've learned about our 2016 that I wish I'd known before hand.

I'm not dead yet
I've just been kinda busy getting moved & settled at our new acreage. On a good note, we now own a go-kart that's required some work, so I'll be writing about that in these pages before long.

Relacing the Wrangler's clutch master cylinder
On Thursday--in the middle of our first really cold spell of the winter--I noticed that the clutch in my 1995 Jeep Wrangler was engaging with the pedal unusually close to the floor. I made a mental note to investigate it over the weekend. Unfortunately, when I tried to leave work on the next day, I found that the pedal went all the way to the floor and the clutch wouldn't even disengage at all, making shifting impossible. We towed it home, and I got to spend a couple hours on Sunday fixing the problem.
