Yes, it has the big block. 8.1 Liters is epic.

I can’t even imagine the gas mileage, even I of all people wouldn’t really be interested in this.

Of course Jill understands how it works, @Striker223 . I mean I've learned things about my Tesla's that I didn't even know. You should grab a pen and paper and start taking notes, or your gonna lose out my friend 😔

Is the body style too old school?
I think the newer gens look better.

I'd be surprised if it ever sees double digits in real world driving. And it's actually slower than the less powerful ones because it weighs considerably more. It's an absolutely perfect tow pig.

Oh that's 20 years old, even older. GMT800 was the last Suburban to be offered in 2500 HD trim.

Yeah, that's probably not going to happen with a 8.1 liter. Lol

Those rims look good.

It might have the 8.1

More likely has the 6.0.

I'm quite certain the GMT800 got the 8.1 in 2500 trim.

It did, but it wasn't standard. It was an option.

6.0 was standard. My buddy has one.

Did you say you had day drinking plans tomorrow and they were ruined because of having to take your car in for service? If not then not directed at you
