Esteemed Overlanders,
I am looking to buy a 2000 suburban 1500 to start a budget camping/light overland/light towing build and everything about it RPO code wise seems good except one thing: it comes with the chevy autoride air suspension. From what I can tell online, this system is not very reliable and can be expensive to repair. The suburban has a lot of things done to it (new KO2s, brakes, and transmission for highlights) but has about 170k miles. I seem to also have found a conversion system from a company called Arnett, but have my doubts as to whether this is a good long term fix.
Could anyone that has experience with autoride give your opinion on whether it should be a deal breaker for me on this rig or if its no big deal and I should just try to negotiate out a little more money to account for doing the conversion or initial repairs? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
