  Beware of Suburban engines! - 1999 Chevrolet Suburban
  By HubbyMan - February 13 - 2:00 am

  I bought my 99 1500 4WD a year ago used. It has 83,000 miles now and the mechanic just told us it needs a BRAND NEW ENGINE for $2,000! Both head gaskets are shot because they are made of plastic in the Suburban engines. Our mechanic has seen this problem before with them. Hes seen some die at under 50,000 miles! All late model Suburban engines use the plastic head gaskets according to him. BEWARE of Suburban engines!

  An extremely reliable car, with lots of space for both passanges and cargo. Very versatile and easy to drive despite size.

  I enjoy it! - 1999 Chevrolet Suburban
  By Daiquiri27 - September 22 - 2:00 am

  I bought my 1999 used (70K) and dont have anything negative to say about it. I really enjoy driving it. I also drive a 2002 Mazda Miata and frankly its a refreshing change of pace to drive the Suburban. Its very comfortable and I feel extremely safe.

  My 1999 Suburban - 1999 Chevrolet Suburban
  By Ken Garwick - August 30 - 2:00 am

  The only major problem experienced was the computer/transmission glitch where code 1870 kept coming up after "Check engine soon" warning. First happened at 12,000 miles. At 60,000 miles I had to replace valve body ($1,100) but that did not fix the problem and the "bumb" rough shifting from start thru 2nd. Replaced valve body again at 160,000 and all is fine. Chevy tried many times to sell me a $3,000 tranny.

  Good Road Vehicle - 1999 Chevrolet Suburban
  By shine - June 20 - 2:00 am

  I purchased this Suburban new in 1999. At 21,000 miles it began to use oil. The number 5 cylinder valve guide had to be replaced. At 55,000 miles the right side head gasket began to leak antifreeze and had to replace gasket. However, I will say this is the best highway vehicle built. It rides better than the best cars. The 5.7 L (350) is too small for this size of a vehicle and that is a downer. The 4wd works like a champ in mud and slick roads. The auto on the fly is great. This will be the last "beast" I will own as gas goes up in price.

  Utility at a price - 1999 Chevrolet Suburban
  By Jwelch - May 13 - 2:00 am

  The 1999 LS 2wd was our fourth Burb, but the first one purchased new. Replaced transmission at 41000. Seems like new brakes every 16000 miles. My biggest irritation has been a periodic starting problem--probably 12 times so far. It will decide not to start. You turn the key and it sounds like a normal start, except it does not progress to idle. The illness can last anywhere from 20 minutes to 3 hours. Then, it starts and runs as if nothing has been wrong. Typically, these incidents occur when were out of town.

  Has done the job - 1999 Chevrolet Suburban

  The one and only. Gas guzzler extrodinaire, but we have enjoyed it as a multipurpose family car. Great for long trips, and great in bad weather.

  Beautiful Burb - 1999 Chevrolet Suburban
  By Hathorn Transfer - August 5 - 2:00 am

  Bought our 99 Burb brand new and now have 117,000 miles on it. About 15k miles a year with business, and approximately 5k towing a 30 travel trailer. Loaded with a family of 5 and the dog! Cant beat the Chevy 350 V-8. Ive switched to synthetic fluids throughout and dual non-restrictive exhaust and gained about 25 hp. Gas mileage hovers around 15 mpgs. Its the best vehicle weve ever owned.
