1999 Chevrolet Suburban LS review from North America
"Good overall, very comfortable and roomy truck with great styling"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The water pump blew on the same day as our vacation to Colorado; Had to rent special tool from auto parts store to get it off.
Starts hard sometimes, battery has been checked, but that is not the problem.
Fuel Pump is going out, sometimes when starting, if you don't give it a generous amount of gas when just idling, or it will die. (Cost $400)
General comments?
Very comfortable truck.
Great design.
Vortec 350s will last forever.
Gas mileage isn't great, but that is expected.
Safely went from Kansas to Ohio, pulling a 3,600+ pound 1994 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Convertible one way with ease.
Great styling and overall great truck, but hey, what can you expect? It's a Chevy!
