I have had my suburban for 2 years. It ran perfectly until this past March. Since then I have had one problem after another on it. When I was under the hood recently I noticed brake fluid leaking, some sort of grease leaking from the steering 'thingy' and black dust all over my a/c parts, most likely from the serpentine belt. Also, my gas gauge is permanently on full and my speedometer is acting up. All of these things are new in the last 2 weeks or so. On top of the truck not starting because of starter/bolt issues. We replaced the ignition control module because it couldnt idle, and now it goes between an idle so low that you cant tell the truck is running, to idling so rough your teeth chatter.

My truck has 175,000 miles on it. How many more can I realistically expect from my truck before I start pouring tons of money into it? Would you just 'move on' and get another one with lower miles? Or continue fixing her? I have 5 kids that I haul around in it, and lately the truck has been broken down more then I have been driving it. I dont mind working on my truck, but I am NOT a mechanic. Every repair is done slowly with my trusty Chiltons manual by my side.

Whats your opinion??
