I love ours, They have a few issues but mostly were worked out under warranty. The factory equipped a/c compressors tended to grenade internally but usually under 30k miles on them. Ours has 82k on it, we bought it at 58k and have done nothing but oil changes and a rear window motor that were out of pocket expenses. I replaced the cluster under GM special policy warranty when the speedometer stopped working. It needs an intermediate steering shaft but I just lube it every other oil change. Overall they're good trucks with very little to worry about and are a real bargain as cheap as they have become in the past year.

Thanks for the good info. I have found a very, very clean, loaded 2003 with 110K miles and its a 4x4 to boot. It doesn't look much bigger than my grand Cherokee when you are looking out the front windshield but when you look back, its a long way to the back of the vehicle. :lol:
I need to get a carfax on it, not sure its the "one" yet but for what they are asking and its condition has me thinking pretty hard.
Thanks again!

Good rig but the 2003 is a one off electrical system. The wiring for a brake controller requires a new pig tail available from the dealer to solve a trailer brake activation problem. 2004 fixed that problem. The gauge cluster issue is common, as is the 4whl drive switch going out and the fuel pump.

I have an 03 Z71 Suburban and like it but I wish I had waited for an 05. 110,000 miles is alot for one of these rigs. Things will go wrong on it. I would buy a new one with lower miles.

My wife has a 02 with 109,000 on it now, The only thing I have had to do to it is replace the rear e-brake shoes. Other than that, just normal maint. When I was at the dealer i saw them regularly with 200k plus and still running great.
