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

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.

nothing is that reliable anymore, whether it's honda toyota whatever, it's because of the added complexity and gadgets that squeeze out MPGs. But probably also because of corporate greed.

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.

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.

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

all of the 5.7 vortec lower intake manifold gaskets give up eventually, best to replace with TRW problem solvers as a matter of maintenance around 100k.

My sister-in-law’s uncle had one of those, a 2002 model, back in 2014. And when he told me that it had 200k miles i couldn’t believe him, because it looked almost pristine.

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 !

There are some stone chips on the hood. Everything works as it should. I am very proud when asked what year it is and told what good condition it is in! We do pull our camper with it and it is my daily driver, however, I am retired so I don’t drive many miles anymore. It is not a Southern truck! Myself and the original owner live in Ohio. We always garage our vehicles.

All those 95-99 suburban's and Silverado's are amazing, my dad has 2 siverados, 95 and 98 both 4x4 and they are amazing.

Yes, I am literally just finishing a ground up restoration on a 1988 K1500. After scrubbing the frame down use POR-15 to keep the rust away.

My dad has a 99 suburban with over 300,000 miles on it. Original transmission and engine. We have replaced head gaskets a couple of times though.

I've had several Chevy and GMC trucks, starting in the 70's through now. Very strong and reliable, easy to repair if they break, and they hold up well for many years. I can't think of a better combination of features for vehicles of this type. Nothing fancy, but well designed and proven. Same comments for Chevy vans as well.

I've got two of these Vortec trucks and I just love em. 4.3 V6 1500 and a 5.7 2500 for heavier duties. Blew up the 5.7 but gonna do an engine swap. Solidly built, still simple enough to do most repairs on myself.

I'm on my third Suburban, 1980, 1986, and now a 2001. They were all great trucks, my son wrecked the first one, had the second one for 14 years, and the third one is going on 12 years and 250k miles. Only major issue was trans (4l60e) @196k, otherwise no issues. Bought them all used and have had great service out of all of them.

Huge fan of the older 454ci Suburbans. Dream truck would be two tone blue, solid axle 4wd with the high end trim package. 👍

ALL of these OBS Chevys are perfect.

Got a 1999 Chevy Tahoe and it’s my baby, she’s rusty but very trusty.

both gm & ford were still building good vehicles in the early 90s.nowdays their designed to feed dealer service & parts departments.& fulfilling their designs wonderfully.

Before people say something. I know this video is a year old. But I just saw it. Scotty. Thanks so much for the awesome videos. I just found your channel after I bought a new to me vehicle. I have to admit this video brought some tears to my eyes. I just get rid if a 1999 GMC Yukon. Had 240,000 miles on it. Original motor and trans. Ran great. My plan was to run it until it totally died. And depending what did, I might have replaced it and kept running it. And I don't work since I bceame disabled so I was not putting tons of miles on it. But it was also the vehicle that we would take on vacation. And my wife was uncomfortable relying on such an old vehicle. After getting some money from my wifes mom passing she gave me some money to do with it what I want. WOOHOO!!!. Well I very quickly learned it was not for anything I want. It was for a new vehicle. I got a 2011 GMC Yukon with the 5.3 litre and 6 speed trany. 2 wheel drive. Afert I found out about the assinine AFM shstem I got a unit that shuts it down. I did not get a Chinese one. I got a USA designed and made unit that has great reviews and it is working fine. Seeing this video really made me miss my old Yukon. If it was still on the lot I would be tempted to go buy it and use it for most of my driving. But some lucky person bought it. I should have kept it. Don't get me wrong I really like the new 2011. It is more powerful. more comfortable. But I keep waiting for something to go wrong. But being the good husband I am. Once something does I will say to my wife. I told you we should have kept the 1999. I will be finatical about doing maintenence on this one. And maybe I will get lucky. But I am not holding my breath. The previous owners seemed to have taken good care of it. Inside is like new. Garage kept. Well thanks for the great videos. I have learned so much. Even if it was what I shouldn't have done. LOL

Please don’t ever stop making videos you’re my savior

Nothing can be as reliable as the lovely manual transmission. Will run for ever.

My Mexican-built 2001 Suburban lasted 330,000 miles without much issue. The transmission went out at that point, of which I decided not to repair due to major rust. I kept the cloth seats though because they were in pristine condition. Then bought a poorly-maintained 03 with 205k which turned into a mistake.

I remember when the Ford Flex first came out My mom and I got to test ride in one at the autoshow. My mom said it looked like a hearse.

You're right the older trucks are much better. I had a 87 suburban which was still the box style.

My 94 Ford runs like a top. I like the simplicity of it. Nice and cheap to maintain....Lol I don't need the extra bells and whistles that fail with age. You Rock Brother

Wow my friends were telling me that scottys gonna see the pole mobile but I was skeptical but dang it really happened. Congrats Andrew!

Parents had the 99 Yukon.. basically this truck without the 3rd row. Favorite vehicle of all time.. camping, trips with the boys, handled so well in the snow! Too bad the bottom rotted out and the motor blew around 225k. Great memories.

Omg Scotty finally did a video on the old GM trucks! 04 Tahoe here. 230k miles and going.

Still driving the same truck, same colour, only a GMC. Bought it 10 years ago from a “rich guy” who drove an S class during the week and the suburban only to the cottage. 135k miles going strong in Canada

I second his comments about the Ford Flex. First time I showed a picture of one at the auction to my wife, she said it is too ugly to buy. Turns out mostly she didn't like the maroon colour it was. We now have 2 of them (not maroon) and love them! Very comfortable cars, do not ride like a truck, lots of space, and reliable. We love them, don't really know what we will replace them with when the time comes.

My truck has almost 200k. I do all the maintenance and did a transmission rebuild during it's life. I've owned it since 2005. I still have it today. I purchased it to basically run in the snow when it does here in the northeast. I put a 3 inch body lift on and did the 50 series flowmaster muffler. I couldn't be more happy with it. Feels like a mini monster truck it can drive threw any snow well have or floods for that matter which we don't get here in Philadelphia, Pa. Great trucks Scotty

Love those things I have driven two or three different generations of the suburban and three generations of the Yukon love them too

Great video Mr Kilmer, I can attest to what you say in the older 90s gen GM trucks , I’ve even seen many of the earlier 2000 -2006 model more so the 1500 burbs and Tahoe’s 4x4 on used market with tranny issues although I do like the earlier LS motors but I’ve seen that trans quite often. But anyhow appreciate your knowledge and wisdom and guidance on picking out the older trucks👍🏾👍🏾great work sir !!

got a 98 with 110,000 about 6 years ago for under $4,000, now a little under 138,00, aint done nothing but regular old truck maintenance. Love that truck.

I have a’93 Chevy Silverado 1500 x-cab 2wd with 5.7L V-8 it get 17.5 mpg on the highway running the AC. My wife has ‘02 GMC XL 5.3L V-8. Neither one get driven much, but not selling, prefer the older vehicles over the new ones. Scotty 👍👍👏👏. P.S. not getting a newer one

I was always taught to stay away from newer Tahoe/suburban/yukon I love the older ones from years 1990-2005

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

These trucks are soo good I have a 99 obs chevy tahoe 2wd with blue interior it drives soo smooth

Wonderful video Scotty. I have my 3rd Suburban, also a 1999 model with 193,563 miles. I ;love it. I unhooked the rear ac because the lines rusted and have pin holes. The ac and defrost doesnt blow very good. Could this be a bad blower motor? I really like your videos.

I own and still drive my 2000 tahoe 5.3 4x4. This thing has half a million miles on it and all I have ever done to it is changed its fluids when I should. I'm just now with this thing being nearly 23 years old having to r&r my front diff. Other than that this thing is a beast and my most dependable vehicle. Scotty you are speaking the truth here.

Scotty, I have a 2005 Ford Expedition with 168,000 miles I love it been the best vehicle I've ever had. I want to bring it to you to check out. I love your channel

I have a 97 with 320k on it and have had it for 20 years, Have a 99 with 160k on it owned for 8 years. These two are 4x4. And one 2wd with 186k, that I bought in April this year. These years are really great Suburbans.

I loved my 2000 suburban. My kids loved it as well.

I have the 1999 Tahoe version of this.. 2 door and 4wd. I bought it in 2003 with 80K miles and it now has 246K...all original and no rust.

My oil cooler line split while driving on the highway... Smoked the engine.. new 350 and off we go.. solid suburban

I currently have and use a 1987 Chevy Scottsdale flatbed manual, and a 1996 GMC Sierra 1500.

The 89-98 Chevy truck was ultra reliable with a decent amount of maintenance.

"You can't buy class in a new vehicle; they all look the same." That's what Scotty says at 5:52. So true, both half's of the sentence. Best quote yet from Scotty!

I have an 04. 293K mi. Paid $2k. The motor is still super quiet and gets around quite well. When I don’t have my work trailer on the back it gets about 15 miles per gallon around town and out on the highway it gets up closer to 20. But as a work truck for me, it gets me around town with my mowers and tools. I use my Toyota for my get around car because it gets twice the gas mileage.😁

I have a 2000 C3500HD Dually. The HDs back then had the '90s body style up until 2002. My 2000 has the 7.4 Vortec (454) which was the last year for that engine. It has 46,000 original miles on it! It has a 4L80e auto trans with factory trans cooler, and a Dana 80 rear end. It also has factory 4-wheel disc brakes. They were sold as Cab & Chassis trucks back then.

That's a nice looking Suburban. Much cleaner and tidy then my Yukon when it was featured XD

I totally agree too. I always prefer the older ones

My uncle had a ‘76 Suburban that had over 400k miles on it. It was still running strong until the day he died.

My dad had one of these custom options, and he drove it to Colorado and New Mexico and all around DFW. I miss that Sub. 😕

That's exactly what I drive. 99 suburban. Good looking scotty

My 93 c1500 pickup is as good as they get. It has a 4.3 v6. If it dies today it's still a legend. 337,000 miles, no major repairs. It defines dependable to me!!! I would buy another new one if they still made one like this one!

Thank you for the video

Love my 05 Suburban had it for like 16 years. That 30 gallon tank hurt when gas prices were at their worst, but still, Suburbans are the most versatile vehicles ever made.

Love the Sport Trac comments

My 2012 Camry was from San Diego, had a lot of commuter miles but that also meant it was Gucci'd out with every option, JBL, sunroof, lights everywhere, etc. to make the daily trip worth it. It would also note that WA, MT, ND do not use salts, no idea about WI.

I have 98 Tahoe black 283000 miles put new rebuilt motor every thing new under hood 400 miles on it with 20's turns heads all day garaged take it out just for fun once in awhile love it drives like new

I have a late 90's suburban, and the interior is pretty good. A/C is shot, 130K miles on the clock. wish it got better gas mileage.

I have a 98 suburban k1500 with 210k miles, travel from vegas to LA all the time and it's great. The ac ohhh man its 110 in Vegas and inside its a fridge 👌, this baby never let's me down. Just the gas prices are killing me, about 180 bucks to fill up that 32 gallon tank 😵

I have a 2000 GMC Sierra 5.3 with a little over 100,000 miles. Runs real good. Question: Should I replace the plugs and wires? It runs so good and is so dependable, I hate to mess with it.

It can also be the wiring harness like happened on my Camry that was under warranty.
