we are all moved out of that house now. we ended up renting a 15' uhaul truck to move all our stuff into a storage unit. thankfully we had some friends show up and help, otherwise it would have been really painful. 2 trips and about 4 hours of loading/unloading. this all happened on a Saturday, then the following Tuesday, we hired 3 people to move all our stuff from the storage unit into our new house. the suburban came in handy moving the more delicate stuff like our 60" TV. The awesome part is that the guy who bought our house and moved in, has a 35' flat bed trailer, that takes up the whole section of street in front of our old house, so the neighbors don't get to park their sh!t in front of the house.
on a different topic, I had the old changed in the suburban, and it doesn't seem to start near as easy. before the oil change, it would crank for 2-3 seconds before turning over, now, sometimes it almost 10 seconds. I think the previous owner used a full synthetic, and this time I used a conventional oil. is it possible for an oil change to have any correlation with startup times?
The other thing I noticed is that the truck smells like it is running rich, and the catback exhaust rattles pretty bad sometimes. are those things I should get fixed, or just not worry about.
