1988 Chevrolet Suburban Silverado review from North America
"A great design with poor GM quality"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Head gasket.
Transmission before I got it.
Ignition module.
Body (rust).
Exhaust.
General comments?
The previous owner spent a lot of money on repairs before I bought it. If it was better quality it would be the perfect truck (veryroomy and comfortable). It has had almost every part replaced that you can think of in the past 4 years (former owner was a friend of mine), but it's such a handy truck I can't get rid of it.
