I actually have another one on the shop floor waiting for installation time. Debating whether to use a new NV5600 I have or NV4500. I also have a 1982 Chevy K30 with a 6.2 like the one in your Suburban and love it! I am trying to get my wife into a family vehicle that is both something she likes and a diesel- tough job!
