GM says 1998 through 2003 but I have replaced them on my 1998 and my 2004 so I think they have those numbers are a little off. I just bought myself a newer truck as well to replace my 2004 HD2500 with 220,000 miles. It has been a fantastic truck but I kind of like rocker panels and the 04 no longer has any. I replaced it with a Silver truck I saw on sYc recently. Great truck and an even better seller. 
Oh, and congratulations Ryan on your new acquisition. |
Rick is on the money regarding the brake lines...my 2004 Suburban has had most of them replaced.
The lines that run over the frame near the gas tank are always an issue. Make sure you check these over carefully.
