Fosscore's 2013 Suburban LTZ Build Thread

[Fosscore]

Meanwhile, up in Missouri we are freezing our extremities off and it's snowing LOL @08HoeCD mileage is just a number when it comes to making your ride look good. Mine's creeping closer and closer to 210k but you'd never know just by looking at it. Just gotta stay on top of it With that said, don't look in my engine bay. I never detail it because I have other things that need tending to before engine bays get cleaned

Lol.

Lookin classy as always! The long bodies are so nice for trips! Those numbers are awesome!

Stay classy is right. And yes 6 bodies and 2 dogs with RES in the back and country rolling up front, it was very nice.

I was pretty stoked with the numbers too.

30106 miles

We were given a last minute offer on Friday by friends to use their condo in Key Largo for the weekend at no charge.

I loaded the wife, her mother and sister, the 2 kids, 2 small dogs and not too much luggage and after a BurgerFi and 89 octane stop we headed south for the 2 hour drive.

I finally got full operational control of the Suburban for the whole weekend. Not without a peanut gallery for everything, but I was the sole driver. Yes!!

We headed down and back to Key West on Saturday and back to FLL Sunday night.

The long body had great numbers too. I managed to snap people back in their seats a couple of times ummm due to the need for rapid acceleration. Lol

And she turned over 30000 miles leaving Key Largo this afternoon.

Your "necessary evasive maneuvers" raise any eyebrows? or just snap some necks?

Necks snapped and the roar of the motor always get quips from my mother in law.

With nobody else in the truck, I did cross the wet 2 lane road to get ahead of traffic and managed to spin the tires and the long body attempted to power slide before I let off the pedal.

Does that count?

I was digging at whether you've had to fess up to tuning it yet. Lol

Friday morning I aired up the tires, checked the oil and gave the truck a quick wipe down for a road trip to Orlando.

No Disney parks this time, but we did visit Disney Springs (aka Downtown Disney previously) and the ******* Palms ICE display.

This year is the “A Christmas Story” scenes from the iconic movie.

They keep the exhibit a constant 9F inside with ice sculptures and ice slides from November to early January. I highly recommend it.

As well as the Cirque du Soleil type show in their convention center.

The kids had a blast!!

The Suburban performed well even with standstill traffic on the turnpike at one point.

442 miles round trip, mostly between 70-80mph and some city driving in Orlando.
17.1 mpg
25.8 gallons of fuel used
Trans temp 160F

Gave her a wash tonight to get the love bugs off.

Wife asked why we did not drive the work Suburban to keep the miles off the truck??

Ummm, because I want to drive it!!

Ventilated seats, tinted windows and RES!!

She agreed that tinted windows were reason enough. Lol. Silly woman!!

My wife and daughter just got home from Orlando Friday. They went to Disney Springs and did some shopping. My daughter got to cheer at the Thanksgiving day parade at DisneyWorld.
