97 is a good year and you'd be really happy with 80's versatility. I'll tell you I will always keep an 80 or 100 for a family wheeler/camper hauler from here on out. Thats is until Obama makes it impossible to own one and then I'll just hide it. I really enjoy it. Set your expectations up front I don't find the gas much worse than the Trailblazer and you're driving a Suburban so you shouldn't see a big difference either in town. HWY is where you'll see the difference. Mike has driven his 80 for years as well and speaking of Mike I talked to him yesterday and his 80 is 4-Sale with the need for something bigger like a suburban or Sequoia. You should shoot him a email to see if you can work something out. His engine was new when he got it and should still have low mileage. 80 all the way
yeah i guess i never owned one for a few years either.
don't mind me i guess i am just over the 80 thing.
like a third bowl of gumbo.
however i forgot about marty movin from a sub to an 80 that is move in the right direction.
so true sorry bud . Yea I remember your 60 and 80 and you having plenty seat time in them when I had my first 40 back in 96 or around that time frame. I'd sure take those gas prices now.
my first questions as well.
they are a thirsty sum *****.
mine got 12mpg. period.

I need mine tuned like you guys trucks. I had a 93(bone stock) for a few years and now the 96 and I get around 8 in the city and maybe 10 on the hi way. That is with any octane and I drive 65 on the hi way and drive like a grandma in the city.
That being said....Marty if it is in good shape and had front axle rebuilt, coolant changed regularly with Toyota Red(unless the head-gasket has already been changed), and is a good price, GO for it! Like Larry said 96-97 are the easiest to diagnose "check engine light problems". You will see that check engine light all the time. Besides, Obama is going to give us free gas anyway according to the You Tube video Dan just posted.
i know maybe i will get another 80.
what was mike's ph# again.
