I just bought a 2006 Chevy Suburban 2500HD (8.1L), with 112k miles. In near mint condition. I paid 12k for it. I bought it to replace my 2003 Suburban 1500 (with 278k miles), which I am giving to my daughter for her 16th birthday. Several family members thought I was crazy to pay that much for an 18-year old used vehicle. I tried to explain to them how reliable the vehicle is, and that I expect it to last me until I die, but, not being "car-people", they just don't get it.
They never will get it. This era gm trucks/suvs are some of the best constructed vehicles ever in my opinion. I fully intend for my burb to last a lifetime. I have yet to see something that comes to a match with them. Well worth the 12 if it was mint for sure.
*Yes!* 😧 We need more videos on the upgrades! Nice find Tyler, I almost bought a 1ton Chevy flatbed with an 8.1 a while back. Always heard good things about that engine. Sounds like you're getting busier, just make the videos when ya can. Thanks for helping with the driving, Zane. 🙂👍 Take care and happy wrenching 🔧🔩
Yeah might drop it down to 1 really good video a month next year. Don’t know, so far I’ve driven it literally just today since I got it home. Towed a trailer full of scrap and it did really well. Only 2500lbs. So we shall see so far I’m happy so if you find one snag it!!
Nice suburban I have a 2002 suburban 5.3 Ls with 204,000 miles still running strong never left me stranded going out of town always made it back home with no issues best vehicle I’ve ever owned these Gmt800 can last forever keeping up with the maintenance never getting rid of mine
Keep the MOLLE "headliner". It is super cool.
