    Agree. I think I was fairly consistent with the oil changes, between 5000 to 7000 miles using syn/dex oil each time. Transmission, for sure changed at the 45k miles, but need to check if it was done at the 90k. As for the other issues....well, addressed issues as soon as they were recognized.

    I must have jinxed myself with the ‘what next’ comment: at 145,000 miles, on the way back from FL, engine lost power and was running rough/misfiring. Was able to limp home from south of Cincinnati. Turned out that I needed new springs, lifters, valves, etc. $3,500 by a local mechanic! Ugh. Did I mention a new transmission at the 135,000 mark? I’m close to dumping this, even though it feels like I’ve replaced everything major. Looking into the Expedition, but who knows!

    My 2015 Suburban LTZ had same issue as all are describing, about the same time. Same price quotes from the dealership as well. I went with the resistor bypass option, and installed (rather, my local mechanic guy) install standard Monroe shocks on it. I have had a few 'check suspension' errors that have popped up from time to time, maybe once every 6 months. Not sure why, always went away after a restart of the engine. I feel like now (at 142k miles) that my current shocks are bouncy, so having them checked out. I do see a lot of cheaper aftermarket magnetic shocks out there for way less (like $450 for both front struts), not sure if I'll go that route or stick with the bypass and go with Bilstiens (if needed). And to add: replaced/repaired rear liftgate motor and repaired AC unit as well! What's next??
