This is a really good diesel suburban, offered for a very fair price. It is a reluctant sale due to an upcoming overseas move. I am the second owner. When I purchased it 10 months ago. It was already in really nice clean shape, with about 161,000 miles. Just what you would expect from a one owner california vehicle. I looked at over 10 diesel suburbans before I bought this one. It was easily the nicest I saw. Very stock. Even though it ran well, because I was planning to keep for 10 years, and because I often travel to relatively remote areas with my wife and child, I took it to a well-known 4x4 repair shop and asked them to inspect it and to fix anything at all that they could find even slightly needing attention. Those repairs plus subsequent tires and AC repairs came to about $5000. Apart from the front tires and brake pad, and the AC, which did not blow cold and needed repairing, these were all optional repairs, the kind that most owners let go and drive around until something breaks (or they put it up for sale.) This suburban needs nothing, beside maybe a nicer stereo, and if you are fussy, re-upholstered front seats and the paint cleaned up above the wind screen and on the left side of the hood. The result is a low miles original condition diesel suburban that is extremely reliable, looks good, gets decent gas milage, will go anywhere, is good in all weather. It starts easily every time, drives well, all the electrical work, and stops well. Being a California car its whole life, it does not have the structural rust issues resulting from salted roads. 

This one is in much better shape than you will typically see for sale. They are quite rare in this condition, and I would never sell if I was not moving. Both my buy-it-now and minimum price are very reasonable, and as I said this is a forced sale.

Some considerations:
• Low miles Good maintenance history.
• Great original engine and transmission
• No known noticeable oil leaks 
• No blow-by or smoking from the engine. No overheating issues of any kind
• 4x4 hi and low and transmission work great
• Paint is original and shiny. Has some clear coat peeling at the front of the hood, and a small rust bubble above the wind shield
• No accident or rust issues (note: I just looked at the autocheck which cites an accident in 2006. I find that to be surprising/unlikely. It must have been exceptionally minor and/or repaired very well as there is no indication of it. I ran a carfax when I purchased the vehicle, and it reported no accident. I trust carfax more than autocheck. I just added a photo of the carfax I ran when I initially purchased the rig.
• Clean interior. Leather. The front seats both have some wear/tearing to the leather where you sit on it - but they still function fine. Everything else in interior is good.
• Good gas milage. I usually got 18mpg+ on the freeway
• Great front tires - Goodrich T/A's with about 4000 miles. The rear tires are worn but safe. They will need replacing in less than 5000 miles
• Very good air conditioning. Blows Ice cold. I had the compressor, refrigeration tower replaced with new items. I had the entire system inspected and a couple of small leaks repaired. The rear AC also works great. 
• I had a good quality remote PMD installed (from angeofishes on ebay) - important as the factory position near the exhaust manifold risks it overheating and the engine stalling.
• I have receipts for repairs. These include a new thermostat, front brake pads, replace all turbo gaskets and oil return lines, replace idler arms, pitman arms, adjust steering box and tie rods and align wheels, replace turbo solenoid, replace fuel lines and reseal intake gasket (a big job, most diesel suburbans have an air leak somewhere in the fuel delivery system), relocate and mount new pmd module, transfer case replaced and re-sealed at transmission (it had a tiny hairline fracture), AC repair and re-charge, glow plugs removed and cleaned. The copy of the invoice I included is for most but not all the work I had performed, but it does support what I am saying
• All electrical switches, power locks and windows, cruise, indicators, lights, temperature controls, fans, wipers, and switches all work (as of me writing this.)
• This is my third suburban. I have had two 5.7 4x4 1500 gasoline engine suburbans. I liked them very well, and did many miles in both of them, but the 6.5L diesel 2500, when running well, as this one is, is just a pleasure to drive - super reliable, economical on gas, tons of low end torque, happy to literally sit all day at 2500 rpm and 75mph. It is a better engine than the 5.7L and not a gas hog like the 454.
• For California residents, no smog is needed ever, which a a nice bonus.

Please feel free to email me through ebay or at bill575@airpost.net if you have any questions. All information is described to the best of my ability. Also for sale locally, if it sells locally, I will cancel this auction, so buy-it-now is suggested if you are serious. Milage may increase is the vehicle is driven. I have the title in my possession, there are no liens, and no salvage or any other weird issues. I am looking for an easy smooth sale.

Here included some links to some videos I made that describe the vehicle and show it running and provide more details about the condition:

24 Hours of Le Mans live update part two

Sun, Jun 19 2016

We tasked surfing journalist Rory Parker to watch this year's live stream of the 2016 24 Hours of Le Mans. What follows is an experiment to experience the world's greatest endurance race from the perspective of a motorsports novice. Parker lives in Hawaii and can hold his breath longer than he can go without swearing. For Part One, click here. Or you can skip ahead to Part Three here. I write about surfing for a living. If you can call it a living. Basically means I spend my days fucking around and my wife pays for everything. Because she's got a real job that pays well. Brings home the bacon. Very progressive arrangement. Super twenty first century. I run a surf website, beachgrit.com, with two other guys. It's a strange gig. More or less uncensored. Kind of popular. Very good at alienating advertisers. My behavior has cost us a few bucks. I'm terrible at self-censorship. Know there's a line out there, no idea where it lies. I still don't understand any of the technical side. Might as well be astrophysics or something. For contests I do long rambling write ups. They rarely make much sense. Mainly just talk about my life, whatever random thoughts pop into my head. "Can you do something similar for Le Mans?" "Sure, but I know absolutely fuck-all about racing." "That's okay. Just write what you want." "Will do. But you're gonna need to edit my stuff. Probably censor it heavily." So here I am. I spent the last week trying to learn all I can about the sport of endurance racing. But there's only so much you can jam in your head. And I still don't understand any of the technical side. Might as well be astrophysics or something. While I rambled things were happening. Tracy Krohn spun into the gravel on the Forza chicane. #89 is out of the race after an accident I missed. Pegasus racing hit the wall on the Porsche curves. Bashed up front end, in the garage getting fixed. Toyota and Porsche are swapping back and forth in the front three. Ford back in the lead in GTE Pro. #91 Porsche took a stone through the radiator, down two laps. Not good. The wife and I are one of those weird childless couples that spend way too much time caring for the needs of their pet. French bulldog, Mr Eugene Victor Debs. Great little guy. Spent the last four years training him to be obedient and friendly. Nice thing about dogs, when you're sick of dealing with them you can just lock 'em in another room for a few hours. You don't need to worry about paying for college.

2018 Ford Expedition vs other big SUVs: How it compares on paper

Fri, Nov 10 2017

With our Alex Kierstein rightly impressed in his first-drive review of the new 2018 Ford Expedition, we decided to dig a little deeper into the numbers, and we came up with the spreadsheet below to highlight how the new 2018 Expedition compares on paper to its main full-size SUV competitors: the 2018 Chevy Tahoe and Suburban (and therefore the 2018 GMC Yukon), 2018 Toyota Sequoia and 2018 Nissan Armada. We also threw in the new, even bigger 2018 Chevrolet Traverse since, as you'll see, its massive dimensions should put it on the radar for anyone who needs loads of passenger and cargo space but doesn't care as much about towing. A few notes about the chart above. First, the 6.2-liter V8 that's included with the new-for-2018 Tahoe RST trim level is the standard engine on the GMC Yukon Denali. You can apply most of the Tahoe's numbers to the entire Yukon and Yukon XL lineup. Second, though we highlighted categories where the Traverse led, we also highlighted the runner-up full-size SUV, since this was ultimately about that segment. Traverse numbers are broadly applicable to the new Buick Enclave.
