357,000 Mile 1996 Chevy Suburban 1500 LT Build

OK! So I work for the GMC Chevrolet dealer, today was my service appt and Multi-point. Some funny stuff here!

1) The passenger side sway bar endlink was broken, the driver side was no longer there at all.
2) Apparently I am missing some exhaust and didn't even know it!
3) Needed a wiper module, $10
4) Steering box and pitman arm
5) lower ball joints.

Just authorized it all around noon, should have it much safer to drive around by tonight when I leave the showroom. 5.5 hours of labor with a torch that I do not have .... priceless.

Pretty awesome the dealer gets to do the repairs. Lot of dealers here say no to anything over ten

Long as it rides well and starts your good. My baby hit 474k miles and I'm now doing work to the rear suspension and any components I can change with that milage lol. Motor is rebuilt and not original but the original did hit 425k before she bit it. Tranny not original I'm on the 3rd one technically. You being at 360ish you got some life. But as a golden rule. Always check under, up ,down, side, front, back, inside, outside lol before taking it on a long distance trip. You need to make sure your belts are good, fluid it stable and holding, pulleys arnt squeaking. Having spare parts and pulleys go a long way.... these vehicles though were some of gm best vehicles made. All you got to do it take care of it
