I'm a shade tree mechanic, brakes, water pumps, various things like that I can do. For the symptoms you describe I would totally take it to a professional shop and let them look at it before I dropped real money on it. I like my 5.3 Suburban, mostly because I know it. Don't end up with regrets, let a local shop do a compression test, etc..
Thanks, I ultimately passed on this truck. After doing a little digging/research I can find similar trucks for much less money. I am pretty convinced that I want a Suburban/Yukon XL. Hopefully, I'll have enough saved to pay cash for one a little later this year.
Gotta get the Ole 57 Chevy running and driving first.
Thanks!
