Well i think i'm going to sell my 05 denali i've had the last couple of years. I've always been a sucker for creature comforts, and even though these are our spare vehicles, i like creature comforts. So when a good deal came up for a 2015 Suburban LTZ that seems to be fully loaded how could i say no? Would be nice is the house was already rebuilt so i would have a garage to go over this thing in more detail, but i know i'll be borrowing my buddy's shop for the handful of things i need to do to her.
Known issues, front shocks, magnetic ride. Those need to be replaced, front driver's side is in need of a new one. Driver's side power running board won't deploy, low priority but i'll diagnose it. Expecting it to be the motor. Front windshield is cracked, no big deal there. And the rims need refinished, will likely try and upgrade the rims and get some new rubber on those. Other then that, she ran great, and the carfax showed extensive dealer and private mechanic servicing, so with 160k miles on it, doesn't look like any of the previous owners were like me and do everything themself. Very regular services it's entire life, which i still go back and forth if thats a selling point since i'm not one to trust dealers. But hey, not everyone can wrench. Was originally bought in Montana and then moved to western Washington at some point, got traded in at dave smith and they sent it to auction for me to pick up from a local lot. But first things first, time to look into the magnetic ride struts.
