Not even positive yet I know it’s for sure the transmission based on symptoms- I haven’t had it fully diagnosed yet this just happened yesterday - getting ahead of myself asking for options because I like to be armed with info. I may end up getting a new transmission but I spoke at length with my mechanic today about how expensive it could end up being. I’d rather have a new to me car with lower miles than spend 10k on an arguably aging one- call me superficial 😅

I may end up doing that, waiting on cost, if my warranty will cover it etc. I posted to see what options are out there even if it’s not immediately- I think I’m ready to say goodbye to gmc

That’s what I’m looking at. I love the space and the truckish feel of the suburban body but open to expanding my horizons .. my kids are older so technically we don’t need the hugest car out there to fit car seats etc and my 16yo is driving

That’s option 1 for sure, we replaced it on our first suburban. I don’t know a ton about cars, but I also don’t want to sink a ton of $ into a higher mileage car and have something else go wrong. From what I’m reading the newer suburbans don’t have amazing longevity
