[Ski-me]

My 89' K5 has been a daily driver for my kids for the past several years (maybe 7 years). Although I do have to fix small things from time to time, it actually has been fairly reliable. But I tend to be pretty pro-active keeping it running well.

But I do have the 04' Yukon xl, so I always have a backup vehicle if needed.

I wouldn't be too worried about it as long as you understand it will take some touching from time to time.

I'd stick with the 87'+ just to get the fuel injected engine. I'm obviously more partial to the 89-91's, too.

I did also have a 91' suburban.....a great truck and could haul anything! Tons of room in there!
