Vehicle Description
1988 Chevrolet Suburban Diesel
The Chevrolet Suburban is a full-size SUV from Chevrolet. The name
started in 1934 for the 1935 U.S. model year, making it the longest
continuously used automobile nameplate in production. I t has
traditionally been one of General Motors' most profitable vehicles.
The 1935 first generation Carryall Suburban was one of the first
production all-metal bodied station wagons. It now comes with three
engine options: a 5.3 liter V8, 6.2 liter V8 gas or (diesel special
order).
For consignment, a large Chevrolet Suburban from 1988 in 2 wheel
drive SiIverado package form, meaning has non leather seating. This
rust free garage kept version from 1 owner who painstakingly went
over every aspect of this truck to have it stay in ship shape
mechanically. It all looks good while in the process of working
excellent too, so see this version in our North hallway, and then
take it home. Wait, it moved to the south hallway!!! (Bill, just
let it sit so I can say where it is!)
Exterior
A Forest Green Metallic respray bathes all upper panels on this
truck. It has chromed front and rear bumpers, some black trim
accenting, and a dark gray/silver lower portion of the truck with
some badging and a black trim piece. A polished aluminum running
board is in the rockers to aid in access and egress to this long
and strong family hauler. We note thebeginningof very slight
invasive rust under the green paint at the rocker pinch weld and
some brushed on touch ups are noted in this area as well. 6 doors,
and a third row seat are seen through the plentiful glass. The dual
rear doors give nice access to the rear storage area. Silver
painted 15-inch wheels are on all 4 corners wrapped in like new
thin white stripe rubber. On back a trailer hitch is installed for
the camping or extra storage trailer experience, because after all
you could have 8 people seated comfortably on your trip.
Interior
Nice suede like gray broadcloth along with molded gray vinyl and
some lower gray carpeting and several integrated buttons in the arm
rest, make up the door panels. These are all clean with slight
smudges on the lighter gray broadcloth. Inside, slightly darker
gray broadcloth seats with a square polka dot tweed pattern covers
the front buckets, second row 80/20 split rear bench and a third
row smaller solid rear bench with armrests that has the ability to
fold down for more cargo room is on the back. The seats are all in
very nice condition. and have the uncanny ability to be configured
in many ways depending on your type of cargo/passengers you are
planning on carrying. The clean original dash is up front, has a
wrap around aluminum plate dash front with round inset gauges. The
factory radio and temperature sliders are to driver's right. Clean
gray carpeting is below, and above is a nice felted gray headliner.
Extra AC/Heat for the rear passengers is installed as an option on
this truck.
Drivetrain
All expertly detailed, and very clean and well maintained as per
the consignor, we see an original special ordered 6.2 liter V8
diesel mill. It utilizes EFI and it has a 700R4 4-speed automatic
on back with a 10 bolt 3.73 rear axle. All looking very nice and
tidy under this hood.
Undercarriage
A peppering of slight to moderate surface rust is noted underneath,
particularly on the floor pan struts. Independent coil spring
suspension is on front, and leaf springs for the back provide the
ride. Power disc braking is on front, and power drums on back. A
stock exhaust is installed and looks to be without rust on the
mufflers.
Drive-Ability
A quick starter and good driver with a comfy ride, smooth
acceleration and braking. All functions were working just
swimmingly. And plenty of room to boot!
This Suburban suburban hauler can be configured in many ways,
making it a very versatile truck for multi uses and plenty of room.
Decent paint in two tones, a clean neutral gray interior, and
mechanically sound engine and drivetrain. A nice example, turn the
key and go..with 8 passengers to come along.
