Guest turbojc Posted August 28, 2003 Report Share Posted August 28, 2003 Well I am going on Tuesday to look at a 1992 Suburban 350ci 4x4. It has around 100k miles. I was wandering if anyone knows of any certain problems I should look out for? Thanks, josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1647545494 Posted August 28, 2003 Report Share Posted August 28, 2003 small block chevy with 100k look for a puff of blue smoke on startup it could be valve seals or ring wear. its prolly got 30-50k left before it needs an overhaul listne to the motor for banging or ticking. early 90's is also bad for GM paint make sure it isn't flaking off. hth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy1647545504 Posted August 28, 2003 Report Share Posted August 28, 2003 92=Early for the body style graemlins/thumbsdown.gif . Ugly dash, non Vortec motor. 'Burbans have a tendency to rust along the rockers, bottoms of doors, bottoms of fenders, and around rear wheel wells. Especially if it has the chrome moldings. Check real close underneath the tail lamp pockets in the jamb for the tailgate. Happy hunting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lustalbert Posted August 28, 2003 Report Share Posted August 28, 2003 dont knock the engine. my dad has 240k on an 87, no smoke at startup. do check out the radiator, some of them had problems with the end resivors cracking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZYUL8TR Posted August 29, 2003 Report Share Posted August 29, 2003 It's "they're" asking. Not "there". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copperhead Posted August 29, 2003 Report Share Posted August 29, 2003 Originally posted by turbojc: there asking $3000. assuming the body and frame are solid, and it runs good, that sounds like a pretty decent price on a 4x4. Unless you plan on hauling massive amounts of shit, I'd suggest staying away from such a big SUV. Remember current gas prices.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OGRE Posted August 29, 2003 Report Share Posted August 29, 2003 NODS, that tank will only get 10-14 mpg if you are lucky. SB chevy tapping may not be bad all the time though, I can't coun't how many times i've pulled the valve cover off a SB chevy only to find the tapping was a lifter that needed retourqued.
