Well, I had big plans for this one,but life gets in the way.
1994 Suburban 2500 2wd 153,xxx miles
The Good
Runs and drives well
Indy shop gave it a new lift pump and a clean bill of health
Transmission serviced
Interior in good shape
4 new tires
Deleted the stupid 90s after market alarm
New trailer controller
New alternator
New batteries x2
In the trunk you will find all the parts to do brakes front and rear as well as rejuvenate the rear suspension for towing. Timbren helper springs, New differential cover, Rancho air shocks, Moog suspension parts, pads rotors and shoes for the rear.
the Bad
despite a full ac service and having it work well in the Texas summer for a time the a/c doesnt blow cold anymore.
clear coat is dulled in certain places
The ugly
That headliner!

That's nice. Wish it had been available in the spring.
I have big love for the 6.5TD.
Your price is fair.... perhaps too fair. Is that all they're going for these days?

I'm just looking to get what I have in it, even better if it goes to a GRMer!

2wd hurts, but does seem cheap.
In reply to Steve_Jones :
I mean.... I'll take more I guess?! Hard to find comparables, I thought the diesel and 2wd and the ac being inop might hurt it some
In reply to Belgiandoc :
If it were a manual I'd be flying to Texas. It depends on who is looking for what.
In reply to Stampie :
Manual swap? I mean if anyone can do it it's Stampie!

Diesel truck in TX? That seems to quadruple the price these days. 2wd doesn't hurt you down there as much as it would up here in Snowsville. I've seen 7.3L Powerstrokes with rotted bodies and 300k miles get into bidding wars starting at $10k
If I could unload my Escalade I would be a player on a fly and drive for that. But operation no more Caddy isn't progressing very well!
Well, I think that I will keep the price where it is for the GRM family, but if I have to put it on Marketplace, or the List of Craig I'll ask more just to put up with the inevitable "is this still available" ghost messages
Unless the buyer NEEDS 4wd, (and 90% of the population doesn't... well 70% in the great white north) for more than "I gots me a 4 x 4" a 2wd could be a plus.
The stupid high prices on anything 7.3, (reputation) doesn't apply as strong on the 6.2/6.5. Good enough engines, but did not get the same huge cult following.
Would be a gantries pig for someone... wish it was me, but the better half wants something else for vacations!
Does it have posi? Check the RPO tag in the glovebox for G80. The ratio should be next to it GT4 GU6 something like that.
In reply to Gearheadotaku (Forum Supporter) :
Oh yeah let's see all the RPO codes. I love looking at RPO porn.
Ugh, Texas is a long fly and drive from NH. I've had an unhealthy desire for a 6.5TD Suburban for a while. It even has the PMD relocated already. I thought all the diesels had the bumper with the two rectangular holes in it?
In reply to white_averson :it may be far but it is warm!
It's a texas car with no rust too!
For your late night viewing pleasure here are some RPO codes
I put a link to this on the GMT400 forum. If I weren't deep into rebuilding an '88 C3500 already, I'd be having a serious discussion with my wife about purchasing.
What kind of economy does this beast get?
In reply to DrBoost :
My dually 6.5TD with 4.10s and 4x4 pretty consistently got north of 20mpg empty, but I also drove it pretty calmly.
In reply to Belgiandoc :
Do you perchance know what the differential ratio is?
Living in Minnesota a 2wd truck is a tough sell. I really want this though.
In reply to spitfirebill :
GT5 = 4.10
In reply to white_averson :
The bumpers did have the two holes on all the diesels I know of, but it was also pretty common to replace them with gasser bumpers if they got rusty or whacked.
I see G80, so its got a locking diff. With good tires snow shouldn't be a big issue.
