I've got a 94 suburan with with 298,000+ miles. Original engine uses no oil. replaced transmission at 195,000 (daughter burnt it towing horse trailer in O'drive) replaced rear axle at 250,000 Rear bearing spun & ruined axle housing. replace A/C compressor 280,000 Belt broke and wiped out electrical connection This runs Ok. Is a little rough but not bad
I think it is great vehicle. Holds full sheet of plywood Reasonable mileage on highway(18 MPG), comfortable seats, Easy to drive. my question is. Whne the engine dies. Should I get a remanufactured engine and keep going or should I trade it while it still runs OK? I really like the machine but don't want to start buying a new car one part at time.I already did that with a 71 Ford PU. Any opinions will be eagerly read.
