Definitely a score and congrats. Over here, you have to be SUPER quick to find a deal, else you can get a pile of rust(or junk) for $1500!

^^Absolutely!! Dallas/Ft Worth is a HUGE area and everyone here commutes and drives a lot of highway miles.

Dude, not bad for $1400. Although I'm not a fan of Lucas additives, it seems like you'll take good care of this truck and get it past the 300K mark.

Things that are kind of common in these era are dash clusters failing, knock sensors and rusted brake lines near the front of the frame. I have had all 3 churn up on me in the past 2 yrs.
You may want to see if you can release the spare tire in the back if it still has one. Mine was stuck.. had to be torched out.
00-02's had their issues, 03-06 had TONS more dash clusters, stabilitrak, abs/brake lights, those fan blower motors actuators going out
Luckily down here we don't have to deal with the dreaded "GM brake/fuel line rust" issues most in the Midwest/NE rust belt areas do
ALL my vehicles are rust free from North Texas/Oklahoma area since new

Hahahaha, I'd be driving something like that too!
On the warranty work: it sounds like an unscrupulous mechanic just replacing parts. What are the odds that both the right rear and left rear window motors would go bad at the same time ? Sounds like a wiring issue to me.
ECU reflash is routine. Fuel tank and fuel pump ? Go figure.

These things are tanks. A guy had one on a recent ski trip I went on - not only did it shuttle everyone to and from the restaurants every night, but it had something like 280,000 miles on it and was still in good shape!

LOL. All that was done at a Chevy dealer when new and in defense the Fuel pump, window motors are notorious for crapping out on these. And not sure if it matters but this was one of the first few batch of Mexican built Suburbans of the line in 2000, So might be one of those "Still working the kinks out" models ??
