Is that the one with the slide? If so, then yes I've replaced it.

I think it is. Well, damn, sorry I couldn't be of more help!
 
Looking for any opinions on pricing. Looking at a 2005 2500 suburban ls. 145k miles 8.1l/4l80e 4wd. Very clean inside and out just broken interior pieces and holes in the dash panels from light switches. (Previously owned by a police dept).

Trying to get it for under 15k but that still feels like too much for a 18 year old suburban. But then again everything is overpriced right now and I need a daily driver since my wife's car is fvcked.
 
$15k seems a little too strong for that model. Now if it were less miles or a LT with all the bells and whistles then maybe
 
People pay up for the 8.1, but too much for me.

Why do you want an 8.1 suburban as a daily?
 
It'll just be a temporary dd until I rebuild the transmission in my wife's pimpala. But she's bout to give birth so I won't have any time to fix it for awhile. I'm not paying a shop $5k-6k to fix a transmission on a $8k car and we need another suv anyways.

And I thought this was America? I'll DD a big block v8 if I want to :usa::usa:

Edit: I also realize there's better, more fuel efficient options out there but you only live once

I dd the 5.3 18-20mpg version and the 2500 sits at home unless towing.
 
Coming soon to a gas station near you! 2003 8.1, 4l85, 4x4, 4.10, 62000 original miles. Belonged to the Secret Service and has never been titled. Carfax says I'm the 1st owner.. Has some interesting features including the 3rd row seat is facing backwards, station wagon style, and there's a handle rigged to pop the back glass from the inside so they can shoot out through the back.

Did you find it on a .gov auction? That looks super clean and really makes me miss my black 8.1 Burb.

No I found it a little dealer in Garner- NC Motorsports llc. He mainly does GM stuff and sxs.

You take Affirm payments? Lmao quit putting ideas in my head.
I was deep in the trenches of Google on the 7 or 8th page and found a site called "iseecar". This website somehow searches 3rd party used car dealers and lists them. I found several burbs for sale that I hadn't seen listed anywhere else.

I hope to have this for another 20 years so I hope you're patient :)
 
We are going to have a 2011 2500 suburban for sale soon.

260k miles 4wd white black interior.

Not super clean. Not terrible either. Was a customs and border protection suburban, been my work truck since 2017. I’ve put 100k miles on it since towing a trailer everyday.

It’ll be listed soon, just thought I would post here and see if anyone is interested, before i list it in all the usual places.

Hydroboost leaks p/s fluid and rear main seal leaks, neither leak a lot.

Powerstop drilled and slotted rotors and ceramic pads x4. Tinted windows and LED headlights.
