Engine problem
1999 Chevy Suburban V8 Wheel Drive Type unknown Automatic 685000 miles
----------------------------------------------------------------
I am going to pick up a suburban that has been sitting for 3 years. This vehicle has been sitting the entire time and has not been moved or started.
What can I expect when I go to pick it up? What should I look for. I will need to drive 600 miles to get it home.

you will need a new fuel filter, and new fuel thats for sure, be sure to drain all the old stuff out.

also give it a oil change and drive it around really slow for awhile to get the lubricants going again.
