I got this suburban a little over a year ago. Needed something to drive while I upgrade my 01 Duramax even more(forged motor, second turbo and overbuilt transmission). Bought it at auction, paid $3700 for it before taxes and fees. Had 242583 miles on it, at almost 260k now. So far I've replaced the rear struts on the lift gate and glass, blower motor, license plate lights, led headlights with proper aiming >< had the pump rub issue and got that fixed. the shop messed up the windshield seals when they jacked it up as I also had them do the rear main and the oil pump O-ring and now when it rains hard (joys of living in the PNW) it comes through the passenger side footwell. I've replaced the blower motor and the resistor control itself twice now. Shop said my sunroof is leaking and that's what caused it >< Never leaked before at the car wash I went to twice a week until I got it back. Got new fog light by ramjet I am installing this weekend. I also have to replace the windshield wiper reservoir with the new one I have as well as it's cracked.
Plans for it are to do a 6.2 turbo and 6L90E swap with an upgraded transfer case. do either a 4/5 or 5/6 drop on it with 20(maybe 22)x10 wheels all around. I've got the brake adapters for the C6 ZR1 front calipers and C7 Z51 rear brakes, braided lines and a transcooler for the hydroboost lines from the PS. I also want to do the 05 Silverado SS front end swap on it.
I've forgotten how cheap it is to build these compared to my Duramax. Diesel Tax FTL
I also have a 01 yukon xl the wife drives.
