What a effin PIA that was. The very next day I hopped in it for a Home Depot run and to enjoy my first coolant leak free drive in a few months. Hahaha, not so fast! Rear wiper motor goes out in rain storm. I've had it. Not even fixing it. Don't care. She gone!! Being put for sale on Friday. I don't mind working on my vehicles as a casual hobby, but I'm not a mechanic and I'm tired of working on it every week. Going back to the good life with Toyota where I fiddle with it once a year and change the oil. I'm on the hunt for a 4th gen V8 Runner.

Parts for my ‘94 and ‘95 Suburban K2500s w/ 6.5 diesel are getting skinnier on availability. DS4 Injection Pump no longer available new and you can’t get new pump heads. Could convert to mechanical DB2 injection pump. Most everything else is available and the things are pretty cheap to keep running.
‘94 is at 295K miles. ‘99 is at 240K miles. Redo the interior on the ‘94 and will be prepping and painting both this year. New Suburban is $80+K and you can’t get a 3/4 ton. The 3.0 liter in line six diesel they offer is a POS. I’ll keep my fully depreciated K2500s. They are not my commute vehicles.
