heres my 2003 suburban which has been in my family since it was ordered in 2002. it has been an amazing vehicle as we have replace only a alternator and batt at 70 tranny at 120,000, water pump at 140k, another batt. thats it. never failed anyone in my family whos ever driven it. it now mostly sits in the garage as an extra vehicle. the 5.3 runs perfectly, not any ticking what so ever, no weird noises or anyhting after 149k miles... amazing.. and its only one its second set of tires!

 

the body is in great condition for 149k miles, same with the interior

yeah it is amazing what you can fit inside of them.. my buddy fit a yamaha yfz450 atv into the back of his 05 suburban and all he did was bend the handlebars down

I am sure glad GM never sold the Burbans with that ugly butt front end here in the States. It looks ok on the Silverado, but very crappy on the burban!

 

Nice Burban! I always wanted a Burban - especially one with an 8.1 :cool:

Probably just the next person in line. That happens at our track here too sometimes....It's kinda funny though. :cool:

Looks great!When i was a kid, we had a 1975 Suburban... they were much harder to find back then. Had all three rows of seating, rear a/c, and the big block 454...it was the Silverado model, so it came with wood grain dash, and vinyl seats (great in Florida!).. that thing was a tank!

I also had a 2003 Suburban they are very reliable, mine at 120,000 miles was still running great. Transmission shifted like new and engine ran very good. Sometimes I wish I still had it, but right now I have a 2007 Suburban.

    • Did you ever get this worked out? Mike is doing the two start thing now too. This is after a new camera back in December. 
    • I’m doing an experiment on a vehicle I don’t have much money in. I’m going by the premise that after they last 100K miles they were no mechanical problems with assembly. Or defects with the parts. With oil changes by the minder for the first 127K miles when I acquired it. I quickly went through low mileage oil changes then settled on 5k oil changes with close to 170K miles on the vehicle currently. I did have the option to turn off the cylinder deactivation. I didn’t on this vehicle because it’s in ECONOMY mode at least half the time. It should be a no brainer frequent oil changes are the key. The manufacturer gets away with the long oil changes with its severe service  maintenance. Just ask them what is normal. 
    • Even set to "recirculated", the air pushes out and is hot. I have noticed that sometime it doesn't want to switch between recirculated/vented air. Say it is set to Circulated Air and I want to switch to Vented, when I click the Vented button, it just quickly lights up/clicks and immediatly switches back to Circulated. It's done this a few times now. So maybe it is an actuator getting stuck? But then, that doesn't explain the hot air when everything is off does it?
    • I wonder what the price is out at the coast, Big Sur or other out of the way locations as I bet they are charging quite a premium over the in land pumps. 
    • Were you looking at the HD trucks on the GM website or the half tons as that makes all the difference. As far as I know there are only two options for the HD trucks and that is the standard 2 speed transfer case or the 2 speed transfer case that has the added 4 high auto feature and they put that transfer case by default into the LTZ and High Country although its optional in the LT and not sure if its available in the work trucks.    The half tons, that is where its been a total mess in my estimation for a few years now with most trucks below the top trim having the single speed transfer case as standard but with the option of having the two speed such as one would get by choosing the Z71 package, however then not being able to get the two speed transfer case with the towing package unless it was a higher trim truck AND had the 6.2 gas so one could combine the towing package gearing diffs with the two speed transfer case. Having said that if its a trail boss package then it gets the two speed transfer case but not necessarily able to get the tow package as it would depend on trim level and engine chosen. Believe me, people have bought the GM half tons assuming "of course it will have a two speed transfer case" only to find out after when they really pay attention to what they now own .... crap, there is NO low range !.    I don't believe Ford or Ram have gone that way yet with their half tons but like I say its been a few years now that GM has done this with the half tons.
