1994 Chevrolet Suburban Cheyenne from North America - Comments

I have had to replace the fuel filter.

The timing belt needed to be replaced.

Other than that, just normal maintence; oil, air-filter, and tires.

With over 140,000 miles, the 454 still beats anything out there. Even in a 3-ton truck, I eat many upgraded cars off the line.

I am the second owner; the previous owner took very good care of her. I have had to do nothing, and with a soon better exhaust and K&N air-filter kit, this engine will scream.

I have the 2500 Heavy Duty so mine has skids plates and a better transfer case. I have had this beast air-born many times and she still drives like she was right off the assembly line.

Put 700 pounds in the back and she will ride like a Caddy.

You can beat these trucks to death and they will keep coming back.

Treat them like an angle, and you couldn't stop them with a 3 pound sledge and a bad attitude.

I have a 1993 1500 Suburban and I can't complain. It needed a new transmission at 83000 miles and I have replaced the radiator, the alternator, the rotors, the water pump and manifold parts. The transmission was the really expensive fix, but everything else was within reasonable costs. It is probably the greatest family vehicle out there; kids sit in the middle of the seats to protect them from any side impacts. A full size ice chest fits behind the front passenger seat; this means that we can take all the stuff needed for a family to camp out for a week and not have to tie anything to the roof. The GMC upholstery is the best it holds up to soccer cleats, dogs, and kids climbing all over it and not a spot or tear on it after 100,000 miles.

We had a 1994 Suburban that was still running at 225,000 miles. It had a few minor things go wrong, but it started everyday like a champ. We now have a 1999 suburban, but miss our old friend. All the bells and whistles on the '99 make us afraid of more things to go wrong! But we are suburban faithful. There is nothing like it for hauling people comfortably. We call it our traveling living room!
