Bad Alternator replaced at 140,000 Miles.
Left front, Lower Ball joint replaced at 230,500 Miles.
This vehicle has, and still does run like a champ.
The seats are comfortable, roomy, and supportive for long trips.
The 42 Gallon tank ensures I'll have the fuel to go the distance, no questions asked.
The Vortec Engine has plenty of power available, whenever I need it.
A quiet and smooth ride!
I agree completely. Excellent truck. We bought our 98 Suburban LT in 2001 with 95K miles on it for $14,000. It looked and felt brand new and now with 140K miles it still runs great and have had very little problems with it. Have replaced the brake pads, changed the tranny fluid, 4x4 transfer case service, oil & tune-up, exhaust manifold "donuts". All simple and cheap maintenance repairs. I anticipate the engine running strong until 200K and at which time I will take the thousands I have saved in not buying new for $50,000 and simply buy a new engine. It may cost a couple few grand, but the monthly payment is right ($0.00). I bought new rims, tires, and running boards for it and they compliment the metallic brown color and tan leather interior nicely rather than the wimpy stock wheels. Hauls a trailer great and takes us to the beach and mountains effortlessly. I will always own a Suburban.
I just purchased a 1500lt 4x4 and its awsome I fell like king of the road. My Boss has a 99 with 265000 miles he has never tuned it up and it still goes like new. He put a new traney 20000 miles ago total cost 1587.00 cheap for a suburban. Brakes do go out, but look what we are trying to stop. Gas cost was a factor, but know that we have 1 its not anymore love the BIG RIDE.
