Might be kind of late replying to this thread but just found it. In 2016 after having to sell our travel trailer and Class B Roadtrek motorhome in 2011 due to the 2008 disaster, we realized we still wanted to RV and needed to buy another Suburban. Had a 1988 3/4 ton Burb with 454 we loved and towed with for several years. So went looking for a decent Burb with a good engine to tow with. After months of looking online and in person, wife found our '94 K1500 GMC at a car lot that looked great. It was a one owner, always garaged, 130,000 mile cream puff. Looked like new, in and out. The car lot fixed the A/C and some front end parts for us and we bought it for around $4500. A lot of vehicle for the money. I have always loved the style of the 92-98 Burb (they were'nt changed to GMT 400 till 1992). Smooth and sleek. Easy to work on, has only OBD1 computer so not too complex. Problem was while the original 350 ran good it was gutless. Finally installed a 383 stroker and now we can tow, really tow. We have had to repair a number of components but that's expected for a 27 year old vehicle. Since I kept cracking exhaust manifolds I put JBA shorty headers on it and dual exhaust. Its all paid for and if it needs repair, ain't all that expensive and a lot cheaper than taking on payments for a newer truck. Everything we have is paid for, and we're going to keep it that way and the Suburban helps us do that. Along with our paid for 2008 HHR, we don't plan on every selling either one of them. btw-Still have our 1965 Chevy Van with 292 ci 6 that tows, that we bought in 1970, so we know how to keep cars.
