I currently own my third Suburban although, it is my first GMC Suburban. It is the SLE trim and has the 5.7L (350 c.i) small block TBI (Throttle Body Injected) V8. The TBI engines are the predecessor of the more potent "Vortec" engines, produced later that same decade. I purchased it a few days ago for $1500 and with 181k miles on the clock it has another 100k to give. It is a two-tone paint (silver sandwiching a dark blue), which i love even more now. Apparently auto manufacturers have forgotten that other paint colors other than white, gray and black actually exist. And I can't think of a single factory two-tone paint job that exists in the last 25 years. It stands out, and I love it. The EL60 transmission was the standard 4 speed (including overdrive) to be mated to the 5.7 engine. It operates flawlessly and this drive train combo gives the driver confidence that he/she won't be left stranded somewhere on a mountain pass. The ONLY thing remotely negative i could say with integrity in tact; is the underwhelming towing capability. Although, I am most likely a very small minority of people that would actually want to tow with an 18', MASSIVE SUV. At 31 years of age, my new-to-me GMC Suburban SLE 1500 4x4 it is impressive that EVERYTHING works. All switches, dials, lights, windshield wipers, wiper fluid pump, etc.... it all functions as intended. I can't think of a vehicle that you get more "bang for your buck" than these OBS (Old Body Style) Suburbans. 10/10 I would recommend. MJ

You have the most expensive old suburban on the internet, but no pictures of the hot engine? you need pictures of the engine.
