2000 suburban help ( gas mileage, performance, tune up, maintenance)
 
hi? i just bought a 2000 suburban lt with 185k miles.

since i just bought the vehicle, i notice that when i start it the brake pedal jumps or kicks up.

what am i suppose to do to prepare this vehicle last me for a long time?

and what am i suppose to do to get better gas mileage?

and what mods am i to do to increase performance? what filter, spark plug and spark plug wires should i use and that can help with gas mileage and performance. tire psi

what am i suppose to look for?

what is your advice for me?

the center console. at the back of it, it has RAC plug in inputs what are they for?

thanks

Welcome to the forum.

Driving like an old lady will improve mpg as will running 30-35 psi in tires.

OEM plugs, wires, etc are the best bet.

Check out Blackbear Performance for a tune. Best bang for your buck.

RCA jacks are most likely for an overhead DVD player.

Good luck w/ your new ride.

Are you holding the pedal when starting? Plugs are good for about 100k, so I'd suggest replace them as i am sure they are due. I run 60 in mine

Are you running a HD truck tire? Haven't look lately but I think my max pressure is around 45 psi.

Kind of what I thought. My Sprinter RV is at 65 psi.
