Sometimes when I close my eyes, I can't see.
UPDATE: I've been running through all possible options to keep the suburban on the road with minimal downtime... but after talking with my Dad about the service history of the truck (the PO before us towed a heavy trailer with the truck when it was new, then my Dad bought it in 1997 with 16k miles and continued to use the truck for its intended purpose) I'm questioning the health of the motor. Now my Dad never beat on the truck, but he didn't believe in regular maintenance either. He told me his service routine with oil changes (long, scary story short it's about once every 15-20k miles on synthetic 5W-30). Although nothing is mechanically wrong with the truck (excluding the head gasket) I'm questioning the health of the bottom end of the motor. Once I get the time to do so, I'm going to perform a compression test to check how the motor is doing. Once I get those results I'll know where to go from there. If the engine has good compression, then the top end rebuild will ensue but if not, a new motor might be in the future... I guess we'll see what happens. Until then the suburban will be parked in the driveway.
