After watching so many of you with your rig builds I've decided to get one of my own. I'm looking for a Suburban 2500 mostly because I need to tow allot of different things.
So here is my dilemma, looking at buying a 2500 suburban and all the ones I've seen have what I would consider high mileage(180k plus). I did find 1 with 90k miles and took it to my mechanic to check it out before I purchased it. He told me to take it back and run away. Apparently it had been under water at some point. Water in all the gearboxes, mud and grass under the dash and seats and noticeable corrosion in the fuse box.
So what I'm asking is how many miles did your rig have when you bought it, hows it holding up and how many miles now.
Thanks
Mike
