100% ok with that! I’m super excited you bought a 3500 so close in time with my purchase so we can compare notes and experiences. We can treat it like our own “mini-forum” for the 3500 Suburban and hopefully we can see if there are other owners out there.
We will be doing a ~1000 road trip in a...
That is awesome! Super excited for you and I think you hit it right on the head in how to describe the ride/handling. CIA/Govt life is the best hahaha!
That mpg tho is not sustainable… I’m averaging about 13-15mpg with mixed driving.
Your truck looks GREAT!
I am not sure this is 100% true. I think this is only true on Escalades but otherwise the Tahoes/Subs/Yuks are selectable 4wd with auto-4wd on some of them.
Edit: If it is a Z71 spec then I think 2-speed transfer is standard + rear mechanical locker. Max tow might which it to an electronic...
You will need the H11 connector if memory serves correct. But if you haven’t used Temu - it’s great. It’s like discount Amazon. Just double check stuff as sometimes it’s a bit wonky. I have gotten some good deals on things tho - CarPlay is one of them. I think these links should work...
@Geotrash, since you will be joining the exclusive club of 3500 ownership. I would like to let you know that as a parts bin special it does come with two terrible Chevy traits: no wireless CarPlay/Android auto and headlights that can be outclassed by a matchstick (unlit). Never discussed this...
Dang. That is NICE!!! When do you pick it up? We will have to compare notes on thoughts on it after you drive it around a bit. I just got a new set of KO3 on it and they have been really good.
I didn’t think I was much to aspire to or all that influential but you sure are validating these...
If I remember correctly the radiator is slightly bigger + an auxiliary cooler for the transmission. There is also a built in trailer brake controller (this is also a stand-alone option I believe).
Marky, if extra time was my only issue in life I am not sure I would be on this forum… Having enough $$$ to buy the extra time is the issue hahaha
Not sure I can rationalize spending more money after just buying the truck. I will let you know when my $2 scratch off pays off or if the 6.0 gives...
Hello, I know this is an aged thread but I will be ordering one soon as our travel schedule increases, but is there a “best order” site? I would like you to have the highest margin so is ordering from your actual website the best for you or Amazon or Etsy?

I just read this thread and you sound like a perfect candidate for this swap. Sorry for the engine issues…
This is a great build thread! I just purchased an 18 Suburban 3500 with the 6L90 already so I wonder how easy the 6.6L would drop in?
Thanks for posting and good luck with selling. I also agree the Toyota hybrids are pretty great! Too bad our Suburbans are not offered with true meaningful...
What about modifying one of those hitch mount cargo carriers? Most are rated up to 500lbs but a few are up to 700lbs. Should be plenty for a nice deer. Or just do as the backwoods folk do and strap it to the hood. Half will be cooked by the time you get it home and can be snacked on while camping.
Yaaa… something sounds like there is an issue somewhere. This type of range means the average mileage is low single digits (towing type mileage). Not sure but that’s just me and I’m more on this site to be the nagging random person that says a lot but of little value… maybe every 1000 words...
This truck is just great. I love the wheel combo as I’m not a huge fan of the big rims. These deep dish hit just right. Good crust around them and a few pepperonis. Can’t wait to see it completed!!
This is real nice looking! What type of trails do you run or are they just dirt roads where clearance and traction are sometimes needed?
Do you know any good stories your truck was involved in prior to its pampered life with you?
