This afternoon I picked myself up another Diesel Chevy Suburban. . .

The good-1988 3/4 Ton 6.2L 4x4 165k.

Good mechanicals.

Came with tons of paperwork, to include the owners manual and origional window sticker.

Interior is a 8 or 9/10

The bad- Not running. . .towed it home redneck style with a tow strap and used a '98 4 banger ranger (almost ripped the ranger's frame hitch off)

There is some problem in the electrical system where the starter supposedly runs constantly (im thinking keyswitch or relay). PO states the starter and silinoid are new (reman, bench testing to occur this week).

When we went to move it the rear brake line failed (no hydraulic brakes, e-brake only).. now I have this to mess with

Tires (year dated 33" from '99)

Typical New England salt road rust (door sills are intact, giant suprise)

PO reports transmission has a slight slip. When pressed for details he said he added fluid but hadent really messed with it, added some fluid. (in thinking transmission flush)

Reason for selling- Needs money to fix his ford lightning pickup ASAP.

Cost to me. . .$500. . . .I could scrap it for that much. . .
