      Yeah. I honestly cannot believe the prices of vehicles now. 90k for an American truck? And I know safety is important, but I miss the 90’s because you actually had several cheap cars to choose from. They may not ride like a Caddy, but if you changed the oil in them many of them would still last to 200k.
      I had a work friend with a ‘95 Cavalier with 300k miles and while the heater never shut off, the car still ran great. Another friend’s Geo Metro had 260k miles on it, still ran fine. Rust started eating it badly, but it still ran! Same with my old Geo Tracker 4wd- rust was gonna take it before that engine or transmission died 😂

    Love it Scotty. I had to give up my 99 Suburban after 300K miles. I never had to replace the transmission but did have to replace the transfer case at around 190K. I 300K miles I did have to change the fuel pump in the tank. Of course it went out right after I filled all 44 GALLONS up! Other than that it was a leaky manifold gasket, radiator, and idler pulley. Other than that it was only consumables. It finally gave up on the way home from work and running in 4 cylinders. Sold it to my brother for a dollar and he put it back on the road. To this day the air is ice cold. It was all in all a great vehicle.

    I had a '99 2wd with a 5.7l that we bought with 85,000 miles and kept until it had 265,000 miles. It still ran well, although I had to have the transmission rebuilt at 150,000 miles. The shop told me GM started cutting costs in the early '90s and stopped buying bearings from the best companies because they were more expensive (by a couple of dollars...), so after replacing the damaged parts, he said he'd "never see me again". He didn't. Oh yeah, and I got 19mpg on the highway, although about 15 in town.
    I also learned later not to tow in overdrive. I was told that was the quickest way to damage those transmissions. My '05 Suburban has 226,000 miles on it and hasn't needed a rebuild yet... I hope it stays that way.

    I have an '84 suburban. It *did* have all the upgraded interior stuff, padded here, velour there... Gone. All except the fancy, electric, nice seats. Ive worked on it (also an ASE certified tech) and i won't get rid of it. I need to break out the welder/grinder and fix some minor rust in the body joints, no big deal. I looked at what people want for similar age suburbans that aren't hindered with all the crap and you can do whatever you want to them, sheeeesh. I had a '75 square body, 4x4 with dual tanks. Try to find that without having to sell a kid to pay for it. 😮
    My wife got a '23 Terrain, really like it over her '19. One thing i hated was/is the auto-shut off feature, fortunately they got smart and now there's a disable button. 😊

The last Suburban we owned in 2003 was a fully loaded rig we bought brand new. It was a beautiful ride, until my wife totaled it.😢 -- By the way, she totaled it by hitting a bull elk doing 65 mph. The elk ended up as mince meat in the ditch clear on the other side of the road. That's a testament as to how heavy Suburbans are!!

    Interesting you bring up the fuel pump. I have an '89 Suburban V1500 TBI and the factory original pump quit around 105,000 miles. Had it replaced by an independent mechanic but he installed aftermarket Airtex. That lasted a few months ! Got me stuck in the middle of no where. Had GM install an OEM pump (still, it was made in China) next and that went out maybe a year later. Finally, ordered my own fuel pump, just the pump, not the entire module assembly, and made sure it was a Delphi brand, made in USA. Still going 8 years later ! Also, its my routine to fill the tank when its 1/4 from empty to keep it from heating up. That last fuel pump was only $35 for the part.

    My 05 Saturn ion redline had a ground issue wouldn’t even start randomly even if I tried to pop start it! (Manual)
    Wiggle battery cable and thing would start fine for months! Then randomly starter cut out. After replacing starter and ignition no avail least not a perm fix I realized power would come on and start if I played with red battery cable it was a cheaper fix! But only til after I already paid for the more expensive repairs!

    On my 1998 Saturn SW2 I take out the transmission drain plug every Year drain 4 quarts of transmission fluid because the rest is in the torque converter. The system holds about 8 quarts of transmission fluid. Because I do it Myself it only costs about $30.00 in transmission fluid. Aamco recommends changing the transmission fluid every 18,000 miles instead of every 30,000 miles, which is what the owners manual recommends.
    I only put about 12,000 miles on every year. The Car has 142,000 mIles on the original transmission which I have owned the car since it had 49,000 miles on it. Transmission fluid is cheap, transmissions are not
    Change your transmission fluid or it will change your transmission.

    Glad you made it safely to the Ocean State. Yep, just another example of they don’t build ’em like they used to. Just as good as a half ton pickup if you need to tow and carry passengers or gear. Gas mileage? Just as good as anything else this heavy. Tough, capable & gas mileage - pick 2 (& only 2).

    Those suburbans from that era are absolute tanks. I know a guy with a '98 4x4, still running strong, with 450k miles. Obviously it needed a transmission and differentials, and lots of smaller stuff on the engine over the years, but these are among the best vehicles ever made. The suburban & silverado, the caprice, the crown vic, from '93-ish to around '03 were the best vehicles the US auto industry ever made.

    My Chrysler Dodge Charger with a V6 3.5L aspirated engine right now has 377,769 miles on it and I’m trying to make it last at least to 400,000 miles. I strongly believe the reason is because of constant oil changes and now I use synthetic and a quart of Lucas additive at every oil change.

    Those Chevy V8's are excellent. Everything else around that engine dies or breaks but those engines don't. Our whole fleet is GMC/Chevy Savannah 1 ton cutaway's, 10 of them various years. 15,17 ect. They have the 6.5L V8 and they get abused. During the winter they run all day, most of them in the summer too. City driving. Not once has an engine failed. 5 transmissions at least 15 blower motors, 20+ Hvac modules, 4 alternators a few other odd ball things but zero engine failures. I don't like Chevy, I drive a Toyota Tacoma but respect the Chevy V8

    Actually, the transmission problem will be fixed for at least another 60K miles by replacing the shift solenoid at the torque converter. I paid $65 for the solenoid and paid a mobile mechanic $45 an hour and, being his first time doing this job, it took him just over 4.5 hours. He said he would now think before referring customers to tranny replacement or rebuild because he would be able to do this job in under 2 hours. But I guess replacing the whole thing for $2200 to $6000 makes more sense. Those people shouldn’t breed or vote, though.
