Hello everyone! My ride is a 2005 suburban Z71 current odometer is around 183k. 20” 275/60’s, flowmaster exhaust, spectre intake installed.
2” leveling kit in the box and some 295/65/20’s on deck for summer. Classic rust in rear quarters and bumper which I have the replacements for. We are a very busy hockey family during the winters so I don’t like to be down the suburban for too long.
We would like to buy a camper this summer or possibly next fall. My questions are how long should I go before I consider a rebuild/swap on the transmission? How can I squeeze some extra HP/torque out of the 5.3 via chips or cams (nothing major just trying to be able to get out of the way if need be or not die climbing a hill in the Appalachians). PS my other ride is a Ram with 320k on it so I’m not opposed to riding it out I’m just opposed to owning a Ford. Looking forward to feedback everyone....
