1986 Chevrolet Suburban C10 Silverado review from North America

All new tires.

Starter died at around 150k.

Alternator was supercharged. There was a fuel leak on the fuel line going into the carburetor, and gasoline was spraying onto the alternator, which shorted out the voltage regulator. It was putting out double the power it should have. Replaced shortly after starter.

Water pump died around 156k.

Heater core is leaking.

Front headliner is sagging.

Catalytic converter is toast.

All the stuff that went wrong is what you'd expect from a 21 year old truck.

It's got absolutely massive amounts of cargo space, and can tow many things. U-Haul wouldn't rent me a dolly to tow an '87 Chrysler Fifth Avenue 'cause they said the 'burb couldn't handle the 5th, but it sure did with no problem.

Being a big V8 powered truck with a carburetor, it gets poor fuel economy, averaging around 11-12 mpg.

Seats six people comfortably, but doesn't have a third row seat.
