Compatible parts? 2004 vs 2005 Chevy Suburban LS
Greetings Chevy Enthusiasts!
Recently had a chicken fight with an Elk.
The Elk won.
I've had to salvage my 2004 z71 Suburban.
I'm on the market for a new Suburban and considering a 2005 LS Model.
My question is, are the vehicles mechanically different from 2004 to 2005? Should I keep the salvage in the yard for spare parts? She was a beaut! and running perfectly. Are the parts relatively interchangeable for those two years? I had recently replaced the transmission and transfer case in the totaled 2004 Suburban last year, would it be safe to assume that I could use my old 2004 Suburban transmission in the 2005 model should she need it in the years to come?
Thanks! I'm not super mechanically inclined so bear with me.
