Re: New Suburban

Very nice looking Suburban. My wife has a 2001 Suburban 1500 and loves it. It has 195,000 miles. We have had to make a few repairs but considering the miles it has been very dependable vehicle and has served us well.

I think most of the items we have repaired/replaced are pretty common for these vehicles.

1. Water Pump - From what I understand this is usually just a gasket failure but went ahead and replaced it at 130k
2. Transmission - GM with 100k warranty at 145k
3. Radiator - Hairline crack on plastic tank -Replaced at 150k
5. Knock Sensor - Be careful washing the engine. This sensor is in the intake valley and sensor can go out once it gets wet. replaced at 160k
4. A/C Compressor at 190k

We plan our keeping ours until we hit 245k miles while transmission is still under warranty...
