Agreed, there’s nothing like a late 90’s Chevy truck. Dime a dozen, parts are always available, super easy to work on, very capable vehicles
I’m always on the lookout for a “new” one 😁

[TTime]

You know we're in bad times when it costs $175-200 to fill up a truck..

[bravoone]

Always the older Chevys, I’m seeing a pattern.

I own a 2003 suburban and it still runs perfectly all I gotta do is general maintenance even though it’s up at over 250k miles

[ithinkaboutthings]

I remember when Americans made vehicles and tools and appliances (and more people) that were a little more reliable & strong. That Suburban does sound good with the Flowmaster.

My dad had a 2004 Chevy suburban. I loved that big, comfortable, spacious land-yacht and it was very reliable even at 246k miles but that gas mileage was HORRIBLE (12 miles per gallon). I drove it every day for 9 months after I got my license and even though it was paid off, the gas ALONE for that Suburban cost more every month than my 2019 Camry’s insurance, car payment and gas COMBINED. This was in 2017 long before gas prices went crazy. Yes, I drive a lot

I have a 1999 Suburban with 355k miles. Bought it brand new and I love it! Also have a 2000 Suburban with 249k miles, and I love it too. Planning to keep them forever!

[raymondj]

Got a 99 suburban with 190, 000 miles. Like a rock.

Those older Tahoes and Suburbans are special. My buddy drives a 2005 Z71 Tahoe as an everyday driver and my other buddy just sold his 2004 Yukon xl which was his daily driver to a contractor. I plan to get a Tahoe / Suburban for recreational use.

As a long term retired truck driver, I know a couple of things that will help your turbo last longer. Remember that your turbo bearings are lubricated and cooled with engine oil pressure. When you first start a cold engine in the morning, let it idle for a minute to make sure the oil pressure is stabilized. The most important thing is when the engine is hot. If you've been driving on the interstate, and you exit for gas, let the engine idle for a minute or two before shutdown to let your turbo spool down.. Your car may be stopped, but your turbo might still be spinning at 10 to 20 thousand RPM's with no engine oil pressure to lube those bearings. City driving won't affect them as much, but high speed driving will.

1999 Chevy Tahoe. Original owner. Same 5.7 engine. 590, 000 miles with no major repairs. Still runs like new. Enough said.

[ebw]

A Friend of mine had a 1987 Suburban with a 6.2L diesel and a Starcraft interior. My favorite truck ever.
My grandfather was a mechanic and always drove the old boxy Volvos because he never had to repair his own car. I learned how to drive in a 1972 Volvo 145S with a 4 speed manual.

[snowmessican]

Just drove a 2003 Chevy Tahoe LT back from Portland, OR to Phoenix, AZ. Has 250, 000 miles on the clock but runs like a champ.

[davoid]

We have a 2000 z71 Tahoe, the last square body Tahoe. It has about 450k miles on it and that ol 5.7 is still running like a champ! It’s a pretty quiet truck too. very comfortable ride as well.

[skadude]

Took my drivers test in 99 with my parents gmc suburban, had over 300k on the odometer before the intake cooling lines blew out. 2 wheel drive but ran like a tank.

[jand]

My 2004 Z71 is still running strong. I drove it straight from Las Vegas to Dallas. Only stopping for gas! Great Truck

[p.maryyayabear]

I raised my 4 kids, 3 dogs in a 1989 Suburban. Named her Susan Suburban. Loved that car.

[RainbowFlash]

Still driving my 1999 GMC suburban K 1500 with 328000 miles. Thing is a beast and I love it to death.

I still drive the 1988 Chevy S10 my Dad bought brand new. I was 3 when he bought it and I’m 38 now. I had it repainted bright red again and had the iron duke 4 cylinder rebuilt. The 5 speed trans hasn’t been messed with. But it looks brand new again and drives like new. Dad passed away last year and left it to me so I sold my newer truck and started driving the little 88 full time 👍🏻. With gas prices so high I’m glad to be driving dads little truck! I’m also glad I didn’t do a v8 swap in it now !
