Big White Project - 08 Suburban 2500 content

My wife and I will be having our first child in October of this year and the touareg was feeling a little small to be handle wife+child+2dogs+racecar+camping, so I found this:



Had to rearrange the garage to make it fit


It is a well abused 2008 Suburban 2500 that was used for commercial use most of its life. It runs and drives okay but has its issues:

water pump
tires
codes -trans (P0700) and cam(P0011)
No carpet
No 3rd seat
Light rust

But it does have the good heavy duty bits:
6L90 trans
6.0 engine
3.73 heavy duty rear

For what I paid for it if I have to replace major components I'm okay with it. Initial plan is get decent tires on it and water pump to get it good and streetable. Find out just all of its problems and if it is worth the trouble (see above about having child). If I find I like it I will most likely build a lightly modded well built version of it in the future.

Maybe get a little sloppy and put a turbo on at some point.
