A New Face

Hi, im new here i just purchased a 99 Chevrolet Tahoe LS, with 137K 4x4 nearly rust free, for $3600 . I have always wanted one and finally went about purchasing myself a new toy. I like working on my own vehicles so, my question would be is there anything i can do to improve mpg other than staying away from WOT. I dont want to get to extreme with modifications just yet but i was thinking a CAI, and some light exhaust work possibly?Just about anything that wont break the bank but would give me both a decent increase in power/butt dyno as well as some improved mpg.
I am also going to do a tune up soon (plugs,wires) and so forth, and was wondering if there was anything i should go with and what i should avoid.

This is going to eventually be more of a family based vehicle for my fiance and I so i want to start off slow and go from there.

Other than that is there anything i should be aware of about these trucks? Maybe common problems and so forth..

Thanks for the info and im looking forward to being a Tahoe owner as well as a valued member.

Welcome
First I would seafoam before tune up and stuff theres a thread on it in help section
second muffler change would help power and mpg if you dont step on it (hard not to)
third CIA would also work but goes hand in hand with exhaust both are expensive

Well i know just a muffler wont change my mpg or power it will adjust the tone . I would have to go with a full exhaust kit to see any difference in either power or mpg.

Actually you can see a mpg difference when you just change the muffler but obviously when you do air intake and muffle you will see it even more
