@tambunansumlang I know what your sayen about mpg i have a 98 4x4 surburban and i get around 23 mpg on interstate thats real good for a huge ass bus on 35 inch mudders
@BowtieLS6 I know all about that kind of mpg when my bro was bad on luck i bought him a 96 4x4 tahoe and he was out in the country and his mpg was about 12-13 mpg then he moved in town and it got to that 9 mpg but on a long trip the 96 tahoe will get 22-23 mpg on interstate driven.
@bobcats330 I've heard they actually did get better mpg than the standard 350 (5.7L) engine. For one, the 350 came standard with a 4.10 rear vs a 3.73 in the 454. And the 350 would have to use more power to move a larger truck like that so it would burn more fuel where as the 454 didn't need to use much power to move the truck so it would burn less fuel. Make sense?
@WillieWonka928D Most people think the bigger an engine a car has, the thirstier it is. Not true. Regardless of engine size, it takes the same amount of fuel to move the same weight the same distance in the same time. One engine might be slightly more EFFICIENT than another, but CID is no way to determine fuel economy. How ya think the '98 Corvette Z06 gets 28mpg hwy? And yet a Toyota with 1/3 the power can only muster 36mpg MAYBE?
@yellowmusicfreak well with a heavy 454 your using more gas just moving the engine then you would with a 2 litre ricer engine just because the engines weigh more.
take it out of over drive leave it on 3 once it gets in 2nd put it in 2nd and leave it you will reach top speed much faster or at least thats how it works with my z71 i can go much faster in 2nd than 3rd 3rd hits the speed limmiter at 100mph 2nd will let me go 108mph
I could see your gas needle moving down almost as fast as the speedometer was moving up. :D My 99 Tahoe is terrible on gas too even though it has a 5.7 Vortec.
@UndoneHaddock theres no way that truck can only do 100, thats just what the speedometer says, i got a 89 chevy silverado 5.7 liter 350 and i've gotten it over 115 mph or more. if you got a gps, then you could see how fast it will go, cause you do weigh a little bit more than mine, but you have far more horsepower, i know it can go faster than 100
@shaneroycrombie 1. i live in anchorage, ak. we dont have freeways. most of the roads here are fucked up; not straight, bumpy, curvy, filled with thraffic. or just not long enough. id have to go 45 miles out of town to find a good one.
2. unless you drive a trophy truck or ford raptor then i think youre full of shit.
@chinchillawrangler 2. well we live in totally different conditions then, i can see your point. I live in central valley ca, nothing but flat straight empty country roads.
and no way in hell my ranger is a trophy truck, its a pos.
this is what i say fuck these rice burners.they are only rev engines.they don't have the cubic inch's to sound good or run worth a damn.it doesn't matter how much top end you have because the other guy driven a big block v8 is already across the finish line.hell do all the top end shit to a v8 you easily push more horses and torque.
@UndoneHaddock Tell me about it. I got a '76 with a 454. One of my past times is driving to school and watching the fuel gauge slowly go down during the 8 mile trip.
the only vortec engine that is worth the shit is the 327 5.3... the vortec 350 and 454 are a joke compared to the old ones, chevy dumbed down the horses and and torque because they both had to much stock. the old carb 454 and 350 would smoke any of these vortecs
@bigblockpower09 Agree, Those vortec 350's were dogish in Yukons and Suburbans as were/are the Vortec 4.3 in Blazers and Silverados, not to mention the Vortec 4.8 which is kinda dogish too. Don't know why GM put hitch on them, they barely have enough power to move empty.
@640101vh i have a 98 Z71 X-cab chevy W/ vortec 350 and 3.42 rear end and have pulled 11,000 lbs with it, its a half ton. it was a heavy load but still pulled it and i have big hills to go up.
that's pretty decent for how heavy that is...sounds nice too...and im a ford guy...but im kinda like the 454, I got a 36' foot motorhome with a 454 and i can do 80 on the freeway no problem, other than getttin 6 miles to the gallon, with the wind ha
need help please! , i live in scotland and theres a seller down in england selling a 2001 suburban 5.3, i was wonderin if anyone could tell me the performance figures of that model, cause most 4x4s in britain average an apauloing eleven to thirteen seconds to sixty. so for me it would be great if anyone could help thanks.
i have a 99 suburban 454 2500 and its got great pickup and tons of power, im very suprised how good the pickup is and how it drives , i just got it weighed the other day and it weighs just shy of 7000lbs
I have a 1998 suburban 5.7 and its fast but yours its a monster now i want one of those heres a question i dont know this model in México did you mod the engine or its from stock?
For those of you who dont know chevy gas gauges are know for moving alot with acceleration and braking. I own an 86 camaro 95 chevy 3500 with the 454 and a 96 blazer all three of them I can vary my gas gauge by 1/4 to 1.2 a tank just with acceleration and braking
@oreilly335 never heard of a 4.8 suburban. I have a 02 yukon xl with the 5.3 and I was told that's the smallest they came with. I know the yukon and tahoe had the 4.8 tho. pretty good motors
Nooo man theyd be stupid to put a 4.8 in that haus..I was answering that guys question he asked if all 2500 suburbans came with 454's and isaid no i didnt think so..But btw a 305 is a 5.0 not a 4.8 hehe. I think thats probably what you were asking but i think the 4.8 liter is like 294 CI..
Very nice. Any work done to the motor?? Also I've wanted to put a flow master or banks exhaust set up on mine. Did you yank the cat out?? Or just run the set up from the cat back?
are now dead suburban with 4.11 gears ad 7.4 454 got 4mpg city 11 freeway at 75mph with cruise control set.the 42 gallon tank in spring 08' cost !!!!!!!!!!200 dollars to fill up !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Its probably under 2000, I cant really remember the RPMs around the speed limit, only way above. For example, the limiter kicks in at 3.500 RPM which is 100 mph, and 80 is just around 3,000.
Thats not bad at all. A Suburban is a vehicle Im looking into buying next. I know I can get a 350 1500 but I cant do that knowing there a 454 option =P
I know this things bad on gas but how bad? Its not going to be my daily driver or anything
Its pretty awful. I average about 9 MPG to the tank, that's country roads/highway, and very minimal city driving. I am a bit of a lead foot, but even with cruise control on the highway at ~75 it gets around 14 or 15 MPG.
Im looking into the Burbs because I was looking into buying an inexpensive minivan because I do charity work but then one day I got bored and noticed Suburbans with the Vortec engine are in the 2500-5000 range easy.
Theres a few 2500 454s within 300 miles of me less the 5 grand.
I know a minivan is more practical, hell a 350 is more practical but the car guy in me wants a 454 =P
lol i agree with you, and when you think about it. a good 90's suburban will last you forever, we have a 99 suburban with a plain old 350 in it, and she will still hit 0-60 in about 10-12 seconds, not bad for something that weighs right in at 6800 lbs dry. and when you compare safety, obviously the burban wins, also if you are doing charity work you are going to find it is a better work truck than a mini van will ever be. anyway that's just my two cents.
I'm still saving for one. I will get one in the next 2-3 months my heart is set on having one now =P. I figure a Suburban will be a lot of fun to. I always been a drag race type guy and I want to expand my hobbies into the off roading relm and with a 4X4 Suburban I'll have a nice road trip/charity/light off roading vehicle more fun then I can have in a minivan.
yea, i hope when you get you're burban, you take good care of her. and she will reward you, also there are alot of people whom of which will actually 6-7inch lift kits on them some rear lockers and heavy duty shocks rollers and tires, and the end result.[i big ass tank that can off road rather good].
If you take a peak at my channel you'll see that I love my cars. When I get a Suburban it'll be in very good hands. I actually dont want to lift it too much maybe 2-3 inches and stuff the biggest tires I can in it. I heard too much of a lift with Independant front suspension isnt recommended. Dont know why I'll do more research when I get mine. Im hoping to buy one already lifted since liftings expensive.
yea, lifting is really only for older suburbans like 70-89 suburbans. but yea man. since you are good with cars, i think she will run for a very long time, ours only has about 140,000 miles on it but she has alot more in before anything will have to be done. in fact since the 3 yeas of owning it we have only had to replace the fuel pump and u-joint. u-joint was already bad when we got it and the fuel pump wen't out because it was only the second replacment in the trucks life, and winter.
yea, if yea off road then go with the conversion, and as for the fuel pump. if there was a real weak link on the suburban, then yes it would have to be the fuel pump, luckily the 90s model suburbans fuel pumps are really easy to get access to and fix if needed, they usually don't break unless under certain condition like winter abuse or sometimes off-road, now they are cheap and any mechanic will fix them if you simple choose not to do it you're self. but they are an easy fix.
and btw if you have not already bought you're suburban the 454 will actually get you decent gas mileage. so i would not worry about it to much, our 350 gets us 18 highway but still hauls ass. and the stock independent suspension should be fine if you only lift it by about 2-3 inches like you had stated. reason being is because of the way it is designed the more lift, more unstable it becomes and more likely it is to actually flip over, anyway hope you get one soon.
it hit 0-60 in 9 seconds, and that is very impressive considering it weighs about 6800+ lbs, and who are we joking... its a 454 of course it hauls ass.

@oreilly335 never heard of a 4.8 suburban. I have a 02 yukon xl with the 5.3 and I was told that's the smallest they came with. I know the yukon and tahoe had the 4.8 tho. pretty good motors
homerunhita12 1 year ago
Nooo man theyd be stupid to put a 4.8 in that haus..I was answering that guys question he asked if all 2500 suburbans came with 454's and isaid no i didnt think so..But btw a 305 is a 5.0 not a 4.8 hehe. I think thats probably what you were asking but i think the 4.8 liter is like 294 CI..

are now dead suburban with 4.11 gears ad 7.4 454 got 4mpg city 11 freeway at 75mph with cruise control set.the 42 gallon tank in spring 08' cost !!!!!!!!!!200 dollars to fill up !!!!!!!!!!!!!
chainsawboy1996 2 years ago
Its probably under 2000, I cant really remember the RPMs around the speed limit, only way above. For example, the limiter kicks in at 3.500 RPM which is 100 mph, and 80 is just around 3,000.
UndoneHaddock 2 years ago
Thats not bad at all. A Suburban is a vehicle Im looking into buying next. I know I can get a 350 1500 but I cant do that knowing there a 454 option =P
I know this things bad on gas but how bad? Its not going to be my daily driver or anything
JohnFromSpace 2 years ago
Its pretty awful. I average about 9 MPG to the tank, that's country roads/highway, and very minimal city driving. I am a bit of a lead foot, but even with cruise control on the highway at ~75 it gets around 14 or 15 MPG.
UndoneHaddock 2 years ago
Oh also, if you want the 454, then you have to get the 2500, it wasn't an option on the 1500.
UndoneHaddock 2 years ago
I would be more then happy with 15 highway.
Im looking into the Burbs because I was looking into buying an inexpensive minivan because I do charity work but then one day I got bored and noticed Suburbans with the Vortec engine are in the 2500-5000 range easy.
Theres a few 2500 454s within 300 miles of me less the 5 grand.
I know a minivan is more practical, hell a 350 is more practical but the car guy in me wants a 454 =P
JohnFromSpace 2 years ago 2
lol i agree with you, and when you think about it. a good 90's suburban will last you forever, we have a 99 suburban with a plain old 350 in it, and she will still hit 0-60 in about 10-12 seconds, not bad for something that weighs right in at 6800 lbs dry. and when you compare safety, obviously the burban wins, also if you are doing charity work you are going to find it is a better work truck than a mini van will ever be. anyway that's just my two cents.

I'm still saving for one. I will get one in the next 2-3 months my heart is set on having one now =P. I figure a Suburban will be a lot of fun to. I always been a drag race type guy and I want to expand my hobbies into the off roading relm and with a 4X4 Suburban I'll have a nice road trip/charity/light off roading vehicle more fun then I can have in a minivan.
JohnFromSpace 2 years ago
yea, i hope when you get you're burban, you take good care of her. and she will reward you, also there are alot of people whom of which will actually 6-7inch lift kits on them some rear lockers and heavy duty shocks rollers and tires, and the end result.[i big ass tank that can off road rather good].
fr34kaccident 2 years ago
If you take a peak at my channel you'll see that I love my cars. When I get a Suburban it'll be in very good hands. I actually dont want to lift it too much maybe 2-3 inches and stuff the biggest tires I can in it. I heard too much of a lift with Independant front suspension isnt recommended. Dont know why I'll do more research when I get mine. Im hoping to buy one already lifted since liftings expensive.
JohnFromSpace 2 years ago
yea, lifting is really only for older suburbans like 70-89 suburbans. but yea man. since you are good with cars, i think she will run for a very long time, ours only has about 140,000 miles on it but she has alot more in before anything will have to be done. in fact since the 3 yeas of owning it we have only had to replace the fuel pump and u-joint. u-joint was already bad when we got it and the fuel pump wen't out because it was only the second replacment in the trucks life, and winter.
fr34kaccident 2 years ago
Is the fuel pump the Suburbas weak link ? A lot of owners seem to replace the fuel pump. Easy fix?
If I end up enjoying off roading a lot I'll probably do a solid front axle conversion.
JohnFromSpace 2 years ago
yea, if yea off road then go with the conversion, and as for the fuel pump. if there was a real weak link on the suburban, then yes it would have to be the fuel pump, luckily the 90s model suburbans fuel pumps are really easy to get access to and fix if needed, they usually don't break unless under certain condition like winter abuse or sometimes off-road, now they are cheap and any mechanic will fix them if you simple choose not to do it you're self. but they are an easy fix.
fr34kaccident 2 years ago
My 93's still running like a champ.
LVChaos702 2 years ago
and btw if you have not already bought you're suburban the 454 will actually get you decent gas mileage. so i would not worry about it to much, our 350 gets us 18 highway but still hauls ass. and the stock independent suspension should be fine if you only lift it by about 2-3 inches like you had stated. reason being is because of the way it is designed the more lift, more unstable it becomes and more likely it is to actually flip over, anyway hope you get one soon.
fr34kaccident 2 years ago
What RPM at 65 mph? If its under 2000 maybe it can pull off better then 15 if you set cruise at 65?
JohnFromSpace 2 years ago
if you look up the 0-60 time it sounds slow but it looks pretty fast but then again the gauge only goes up to 100
chris000089 2 years ago
it hit 0-60 in 9 seconds, and that is very impressive considering it weighs about 6800+ lbs, and who are we joking... its a 454 of course it hauls ass.
