November 2007 ROTM - Jeffs89Suburban

[Steve]

The moderators have done it again and have a new Ride of the Month. For Novemeber, they've actually gone and selected a gem from the 80's.

Jeffs89Suburban (an 89 Suburban) has been selected of course, and it has more to say about the durability and raw-workhorse nature of the Suburban than anything else. I remember the day when the Suburban ran strong carying cargo and people with something in tow to boot. Jeff's done a great job keeping his Suburban true to that spirit and she hasn't let him down.

Here's to Jeff being a great asset to this board as well. Thanks for all your hard work Jeff!

I am so happy :) my Suburban has been very dependable, only repairs I have done to it, was replace the alternator right after I bought it in jan' 07. it has 192k on it as of now, has only used about a pint of oil in over 3,000 miles.
it handled towing the trailer loaded with My newly acquired 48k original 1976 Buick Electra 225 very well. it used just under 1/2 tank of gas for the approx. 200 mile round trip. it also serves well as My daily driver. true, it has a few rough edges, but it's still very dependable,and still runs very strong

thanks for voting for Me :) :great::great:

I'm very pleased with My suburban, it has never let me down since I've owned it.

Congrats Jeff! What's the rear gear ratio in that Sub? Great to see another oldy-but-goody rolling around on the road still.
