Default Common problems with 99 Suburban

So I have already replaced one ball joint and had my intake manifold gasket blow. I replaced the manifold gasket with the updated Felpro gaskets. The previous owner had replaced both front and rear A/C compressors. Are there any other common problems or even recalls that I should prepare for with 175,000 miles on the truck ?

did you check the fuses?

on mine with 207 k.
it has had:
new head (spider)
AC is out
normal rattling everywhere.
Just replaced starter


besides that. drives great. bought with 195k So not sure what else has been done to it.
You should expect suspension, steering, transmission etc. tbh everything can go wrong since it is old and used. So I would put a budget aside

But they can go a lot further with the correct upkeep
