Suburban 8-cyl

  • 144,000 miles
Just like every other Chevy with the 4.8L or 5.3L engine, the exhaust manifold bolts broke off. Causing an exhaust leak, and shortening the lifetime of the vehicle. Epa should be involved, as most of these vehicles experience this issue. It is ridiculously expensive to fix, $2500+.
