got the suburban today! needs a bit of work... battery doesnt hold a charge well, and needs a new ground cable, needs a new radiator, oil change, the brake fluid is black and the brakes are spongy and go to the floor, new pads and rotors, and an A/C recharge.
got it on CL for 900 dollars was originally 1100. put in a new air filter, and PCV valve, and some more powersteering fluid. tomorrow, rotors, brake fluid, and battery.
for having these problems, it never once overheated on me on the way home!... LOTS of power and LOTS of legroom. Ive never driven anything this big and it handled like a car. I could even hit curbs with no worries:biggrin: went up the hills of downtown tacoma with no fuss or hesitation, 4wd works, and the trans shifts nice and smooth, and it handles and steers like a cadillac.
In the future, im gonna put in a 4:10 dually rear and some dually fenders from a 90s chevy dually, upgrade the brakes a bit, and a better cooling system.
