Turned over 300,000 miles, that is. DH’s 1990 Suburban has finally made it to the 300s.
DH and DD drove it around the block a few times to catch the rollover. And no, they weren’t going 67 mph while taking the picture…the speedometer is stuck there. 😀
The Suburban has been a great vehicle for us. It took four kids back and forth to school every day, 30 miles each way. It made it through four teenagers and various bumps and scrapes. It has hauled family, friends, boards and lumber, plumbing, plants, moving boxes, furniture, landscaping supplies, etc., etc., etc. And now it has turned over 300,000 miles. Maybe, like John Denver, we should get out and push it a mile.
Of course, as the odometer climbs, so does the likelihood of encountering more complex mechanical issues. At 300,000 miles, components like the fuel system, suspension, and exhaust system often start to show signs of fatigue. That’s where having access to skilled professionals becomes a game-changer.
With specialized diagnostic equipment and an experienced team, RUSH Diesel can pinpoint problems that might otherwise go unnoticed, addressing them before they snowball into costly repairs.

After all, every mile tells a story, and with the right care, there are plenty more adventures left to come.
The same principles that keep a high-mileage vehicle like the Suburban running smoothly also apply when considering a new or used car purchase. Whether you’re looking for a durable family vehicle that will handle the daily grind or a sleek car that provides both luxury and performance, finding a trusted dealership is key.

Clark will be happy to hear that! His Suburban has 280,000 and he is adamant he will make it that far too! His is a 1994 … far more beat up than yours … it has been hauling all his tools and stuff all these years.
They just don’t make them like this anymore, do they? My dad used to have a 1965 Buick Wildcat that made it this far, too!
Congratulations! I don’t think I have ever known a vehicle to hit 300,000! We have ridden in this faithful workhorse a few times. I remember when you first got it.
That is terrific ! I was thinking of your Suburban just the other day! I love it when things last !!!!
