Who has the oldest Tow Vehicle in service?
Age doesn't really matter but I thought it would be fun to ask. I'll start. Mine is a 2010 Silverado. Beat that! :S pic in my sig.

Paul, good for you! What engine does the Suburban have? The early GM diesels (350, 6.2) were thought to be frought with trouble by many.We would all like to hear how yours has been a winner!

The GM 350 cu. in. (5.7L) Diesel was used mostly in Cadillacs and Oldsmobiles; there were a few Suburbans built with that engine.
The notorious problems with that engine were due to an "ID-Ten-T" error.
My '81 Olds Cutlass had that engine and I drove it for over 250,000 miles with no problems. I sold it in '99 and it is still on the road.
The engine in my Suburban is the Detroit 6.2L Diesel and has almost 500,000 miles on it.
Paul,
I bought the first 6.2 Chevy Pickups from our local dealer. Pulled our TT to dog shows and hauled my sled dogs in the winter. Of all the vehicles I have ever had, that is the one I wish I had kept. Thanks for the memories.
