This was the first vehicle I had bought used in many years - put a ton of money in it to try to figure out why it was heating up. I think it was a combination of steep climbs and high altitude. The final recomendation was to change out thermostats and water pump, but when I found out that GM did not recommend this I did not want to take a chance of voiding the 120,000 mile warrenty, (diesel motors are major bucks when they blow up) so off to trade-in land it went - went back to buying new vehicles.

Don't get me wrong, I loved the Suburban - it did everything great except for what I bought it for - and that was towing my 5000 lb trailer.

I also liked it for long road trips, but around town it was kind of a pain.
