Tahoe & Suburban The power, space, and brutal towing ability make the Tahoe and its longer sibling, the Suburban, arguably the best full size SUV's on the market today.

2013 Chevrolet Suburban

Which would be cheaper, pulling a trans from another Suburban or getting mine rebuilt? I guess I might have to think about parting it out too. Any feedback at this point would be great as I've never been in this situation before. Thanks again.
you will need a full rebuild on that 4l60e transmission unfortunately. If you pull one out at junkyard is 50/50 chance it will work or for that matter last. But some are lucky and get good one. I usually just rebuild mine when I break it.
