Correct although I have had two lifters stick last year due to late oil changes and sludge and milage all I did was throw some marvel mystery oil in and ran it hard and thankfully it cleared up that was maybe 50,000 ago I daily drive mine and drive it to work 3-6 hr twice a weekIt has 370k on the original engine with just having the DOD turned off via tune??
Man, that’s awesome!Correct although I have had two lifters stick last year due to late oil changes and sludge and milage all I did was throw some marvel mystery oil in and ran it hard and thankfully it cleared up that was maybe 50,000 ago I daily drive mine and drive it to work 3-6 hr twice a week
I’ve never went inside the motor it’s got a tune from a local boy using HP tuners but @BlackBearPerf is also good crowd to use if you don’t have a tuner local. People also use those range devices you plug into the obd2 but you get more benefits from the tune. I’ll be the one guy on here to testify these things going a half a million miles! My in-laws 05 burban is also around 370k give or take on the original powertrain
I will second that I just feel like they hold up so much better interior wiseI vote to sell the Wife's 2011 Suburban and keep the 2006 Z71.
Hello everyone, I’m looking at buying a 2011 Suburban LT with Z71 package. It has 91k original miles, and it’s a one owner vehicle. It’s a slick ride, well kept, black on black. Even the heat/ac buttons on the dash look new. The vehicle has no mechanical issues and is in great cosmetic condition. It has lived in TX its whole life so no rust issues. The little dealer is asking $18.5k. That seems reasonable to me, but what do you guys think? Also, if I do buy it I’m gonna have to decide whether to keep my 2006 Tahoe Z71 with 156k miles that’s in excellent shape or sell my wife’s 2011 2WD Suburban with 153k miles. I’m thinking I will sell the 2011 just because the DOD scares me, and I feel like I could drive the 06 across the ocean if I needed to. I feel like the 06 is probably worth more as well. Neither vehicle has any leaks or mechanical issues. Just curious as to what you all think about the whole situation. TIA!
Yeah, that’s a good point. The only issue with that is that I hate the thought of pouring more money in a vehicle than it’s worth. The value on her ride is only about $7k. It is something to think about though. Thanks!+1 for keep the '06. You already know how reliable it is and 156K is only around middle age for its engine. You will regret selling it. As for buying the 4WD Suburban to replace the 2WD Suburban: Unless your wife needs a 4WD Suburban, I don't think the mileage is enough difference to justify the $18K. If AFM scares you, you could delete AFM and replace EVERYTHING that could even start to be worn at 153K for half the cost of the 4WD Suburban. Have it tuned to make it feel and drive better than new and to head off premature trans wear and to disable AFM. Keep clean, high-quality oil in it (NO QUICK-LUBE PLACES and IGNORE THE DIC) and don't give it a second thought.

That is a $22-24K vehicle here in the midwest all day long.....the only reason it is priced that high is because the mileage is under 100k, anything under 100k, even 99k and all dealers add a premium. so unless it includes a warranty then hard pass. the difference between 91k and 110k is just price..... keep looking and don't worry about dod
