1988 GMC Suburban Silverado review from North America
"Will pull a house down"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transfer case went out 1 month after purchase.
Fuel Injector pump and glow plugs were bad.
Transmission went out after 6 months.
General comments?
I have replaced the C code motor with a J code.
After having rebuilt the transmission and doing other maintenance to the drive train I am now becoming happy with this purchase.
