The Powerful & Beautiful Beast LIVES ...And it's in Mint Condition!!! 1997 Suburban K1500 LT (TOP OF THE LINE) 6.5 Turbo Diesel 4X4 3/4 Ton (143K Original Miles, NO Accidents, NO RUST) TEXAS TRUCK_____________________________________________________________________________________ PRICE DRASTICALLY REDUCED WIFE SAYS TRUCK MUST GO :( This model is the rarest of Suburban's and finding one in this condition is as elusive as truth in politics. Well the truth here is that this is one mighty nice 1997 Chevy Suburban K1500 LT, 4x4 that carries the mighty 6.5 Diesel. The body is completely RUST FREE & comes with an even rarer factory color, Medium Mystic Beige Metallic. This truck has all of the factory options including impeccable leather interior, 3rd row seating, rear A/C, factory tow package, HD Aux. Trans Cooling System, 3:42 Positraction, 4L80e Transmission, 42 Gallon Tank, Heavy Duty Rear Leaf Springs, 105 Amp Alternator, 4X4 on the fly with 3/4 ton suspension and drivetrain. Clarification on Drivetrain: THIS IS A 3/4 TON SUBURBAN... Unless you know your Suburban history, you may make the mistake that some people have in the past and say oh, this is a 1/2 ton. That's INCORRECT. Actually, All of the K1500 Diesel burbs of this vintage have a 3/4 ton setup, entire suspension, axles, transmission, brakes & the frames are actually the same. The main difference between a placard "K1500" vs "K2500" burb is not frame or drivetrain, it's basically the axle ratio. 1500 burbs have a 3.42 axle identified by my post and RPO Code, whereas the 2500 burb came with 3.73 or 4.10 axles. All diesel burbs have eight bolt rims which is a dead giveaway. Additionally, you can see the HD leaf suspension offered on 3/4 tons in the brake service pics I posted... If you look at the pictures, you can easily see 5 leafs plus the helper. This and all of the items mentioned above are are evidence of the 2500 drivetrain. Not sure why GM did this but you can easily verify it by a simple Google search. Truly at face value, if you know nothing else, one of the easiest ways to identify the 3/4 ton suspension is to count the lugs 6= 1/2Ton, 8 = 3/4 Ton. Hope this helps. ___________________________________________________________________________________________ This truck was owned by one family for the last 7 years and was garaged and pampered, as it was the vacation getaway vehicle so it has seen very few winter seasons as the undercarriage testifies to that. I have a full history of maintenance from the last owner and all of the current service records as well as a clean documented history report and NO ACCIDENTS! It's obvious that the truck has been very well cared for over the years and was just recently serviced with current records in preparation for this sale. All of the features of the truck work perfectly including the Automatic 4l80e transmission, 4x4 on the fly, power drivers seat, ice cold A/C front and rear, rear heat, 8 passenger seating with third row, power windows, cruise, power door locks, factory deep tinted glass, keyless entry, factory tow package, factory radio with cassette, & CD. Upgrades include, all new LED interior lighting, Bright White headlamps, Ceramic brakes, Skyjacker lift with Rancho RS 9000 shocks front and rear, Load Range "E" Cooper Discovery Tires Size: 285/75/16, relocated PMD, Auxiliary 20 Gallon switch on the fly fuel tank and a throaty 3 1/2 in exhaust with stainless steel Dynomax Muffler and K&N Air filter. This low mileage TEXAS truck runs as beautifully as it looks and was just recently serviced at our local Diesel shop. This truck is in impeccable condition and you will be hard pressed to find another. It would make a great family vehicle for years to come and provide many great vacation memories. This is an amazing & reliable truck that you will be proud to own. It looks pretty awesome too. T H I S I S Y O U R N E W T R U C K, L E T S D O T H I S ! Condition: This Suburban looks & drives almost like new. It drives straight, stops straight and hums down the freeway with no issue at 80 MPH. I have had my mechanic go through the truck and inspect the truck to make sure all service is current and there are no safety concerns. No Clunks, no noises, starts without hesitation, motor is exceptionally strong, and with it’s custom straight through exhaust it roars like lion, but no too loud. The engine and trans run perfectly & have plenty of power to tow just about anything you can throw at it. The transmission pulls and shifts smoothly with no vibration and no slipping and moves perfectly through all gears. The diesel motor is solid clean and powerful. There is some minor seepage on the motor in typical areas but no persisting and no dripping leakage and certainly not enough to leave a mark on your driveway. The interior is exceptional for a truck of this vintage with no rips or tears. All of the seating areas are in excellent condition. As you can see in the pictures, the paint & clear coat is very nice w/minor imperfections. Everything in the truck works perfectly as it should. The A/C works perfectly, front and rear A/C blows ice cold. This truck is ready to drive anywhere, in any weather and has a clean documented history & mileage. If you have been looking for a Diesel Suburban, you understand that these trucks are very hard to find in this condition with original mileage, let alone with a nice clean body and a mint interior. Everything checks out on Autocheck history. I am happy to email you a copy upon request. Mileage may increase as I still drive the truck daily.

It does have some signs of age and minor imperfections as noted here. Mirrors and brush guard are somewhat faded. Small nicks and some scratches as well as some chips, typical for a 18 year old truck. Also, some touch ups on paint. There are a few stains in the rear cargo area shown in the pictures however if you Hit the "Buy it Now I will throw in a new Husky Liner. The aluminum wheels have some slight fading & very minor discoloration, however, a little of elbow grease and polishing will solve that. Also, the passenger door lock on the drivers side sometimes sticks but does work.
