Hello everyone and thank you for checking in.
I recently purchased a beautiful Suburban with just under 165k miles. Only rust I've been able to inspect has been on an exterior underside and it was the rear passenger door quarter panel. I'm not too worried about that concern to be frank.
I have yet to inspect the undercarriage but I've gotten under the hood on a few occasions and the only leak I'm noticing is a class 2 leak coming from the power steering pump. Residue collecting on the underside - almost as if it's fitting related.
I've got it on my list to drain that pump, put some thread tape over those fittings and reinstalling, mainly to save money but I'm not too worried about ordering a $100 pump.
I've got some years in mechanics. I was messing about forklifts when I was younger but my main source of information came from the army as I was a 91B. Left the service and joined caterpillar, as many do. Did three years at CAT and went onto Tesla.
I'm happy to know how crappy those vehicles are and how much people expect of them.
I'm happy to be here with the rest of you.
She is a beauty, as I mentioned.
Later gents.
