Looks like somebody might've snatched it already since the ad just disappeared.

Ya snooze, ya lose!

NO AFM on a 2500.

The 2008 is a lower towing capacity - 8600lbs

If it runs good go for it. That engine will run 300k

Where did you get the 8600-lb number?

Here's the pertinent page from the 2008 owners manual....

Sorry thats the GVWR .... 2007 's had a lower trailrng limit w/3.73

That's a great deal for a 2500. There's a lot trying to sell a 2013 here with 40K for $38K.

I was just going to say it's probably gone already, around here right now that would be sold in nothing flat

Not a big surprise there and the ad I saw on Craigslist had $6300 as the price.

Damn I don't even want another truck but I'd have bought it for that, flipped it and got 427 money.

2008 Suburban LS 6.0L 2wd
105,000 miles, one owner, TX truck

Lots of life left? Or a timebomb?

They are asking $7,000

Price is damn good for a 2500

Not so fast fellas! It might not be a 2500. The L76 was available in the 1500s from 2007-2009, it had AFM, VVT, an aluminum block and made about 367 HP. LOTs of Avalanches from these three years have the motor and they were put in front of the 4L70 Supermatic until 2009 when the 6-speed came out. It's not unusual to find a Suburban with them either, with their higher horsepower rating, guys used to hyper-mile them into the 25 mpg range by tweaking AFM parameters.

2500 has the LY6, Iron block. or L96 flex fuel version.
