Overview and Common Failures

Body and Interior: The paintwork is quite weak, but the body metal is thick and rusts slowly. Look for rust under the plastic overlays and on the edges of the fenders or sills. The chrome coating quickly becomes dull and then flakes off, ruining the appearance. The interior is very spacious, with cheap but durable trim materials. The climate control system can be troublesome: the dampers get stuck and the pipes corrode.

Engine: The 5.3-liter LM7 engine is reliable and long-lasting, but it consumes a fair amount of fuel. The main thing is to avoid overheating, as the plastic pipes and connectors can quickly break. The weak points of the engine also include the fuel pump, adsorber, and ignition coils.

Transmission: The 4-speed GM 4L60E automatic transmission is very durable and has a lifespan of up to 500,000 km. However, if the oil is not changed, jerks during gear shifts may appear at around 200,000 km. The full-time four-wheel drive transmission is quite reliable, with moderate prices for spare parts. Its weak point is only the unreliable electric drive of the transfer case. It is necessary to carefully monitor leaks and regularly update the lubricant in all components.

Suspension: The off-road vehicle's suspension is generally reliable, with only the stabilizer links having limited durability. Most of the issues are related to sagging springs or worn-out shock absorbers. There are versions with air suspension, which can cause some trouble for the owner. Steering: There are few complaints about the steering rack, as it only develops play at very high mileage. Brakes are quite weak, and the hoses and ABS sensors have a limited lifespan.
