Trevor,

I owe you. I really appreciate the help. The truck looks solid, but you can only tell so much from pictures...

It is not a show vehicle by any stretch, just a 2500 Suburban with a charger it seems.

I do not have a way to scan or log any of the truck's tuning or anything. Lady is going through a divorce and wants it gone...not sure if that is good or bad...

I figure I will check it out, won't hurt to look at it and drive it. I figure it should behave as a stock truck would, only more responsive throughout the rpm range?

depends on all what was done to it. I bet you could contact Canepa directly and get the whole low-down on mods. I'd start there.

Depending on the price I would seriously consider a diesel for tow duty. I went from a 3/4 gas to a 1 ton diesel. For towing and ease of power production it can't be beat.

skyhighsami,

I totally agree that diesel cannot be beat when it comes to towing. I just sold my 2008 Duramax with EFI Live custom tuning. It was a fabulous truck and I cannot say enough good things about it. I sold her because of a couple of reasons, one being I just do not tow that often, and I did not want to have a note on a vehicle. I also have four kids...

So to pay cash I will be looking for a used Suburban...my wife already has a Suburban, but I would like to get a 3/4 ton one for myself, so that I can carry all the kids as well if needed.

This is just one of several I am looking at, I was just intrigued at the thought of a charger on a big SUV.

Thanks everyone.
