One word description. Presidential.

My wife rocked a 2012 2500 Burb for a few months. It was a solid machine if you ignore the IFS LoL It met it's demise in 3' of creek water during a drive to church. They are not very tolerant of water.
Lift kit, build thread...lift kit, build thread...lift kit bui..........
Warn m8000, their most popular winch & have personally watched them take a beating. More than enough power, don't buy into all the hype you need bigger.....
Stewie, I once spoke with the head of warn marketing at an event. He confirmed these were the best selling units & had just as good quality parts as any other.
Mileage and price? Nice choice! I actually looked for a year straight to find that exact build and wasn't able to so we settled for a 1/2 ton denali. The combination of 2500, black exterior, tan interior and LT3 options was apparently not manufactured very many times. If you ever decide to sell it, post it up here first. If I have the cash at the time, I would take it.

I was all hot and bothered when i saw it but that was quickly replaced with disdain for how much i hate, loath, despise car dealerships.here's the listing. http://www.westsidechevroletkaty.com/VehicleDetails/used-2009-Chevrolet-Suburban-3%2F4_Ton_4_Wheel_Drive_LT_2LT-Katy-TX/2917398203

More than enough power, don't buy into all the hype you need bigger.....That Suburban probably weighs just north of 6,000 lbs. I would recommend a 12,000 lbs weight rated winch. Remember that the weight rating for a winch is determined on the last row of cable on the drum. The more cable wrapped on the drum, the lower the weight rating. Rule of thumb should be 2x the weight of the vehicle when looking at winch capacity. Remember, too, that you're most likely to have to use it when stuck in mud, and you need to factor in the amount of mud you'll have to drag along with the vehicle, and the amount of force required to break the suction. The 8k Warn is a great winch, but it's designed for Jeep TJs weighing in at around 4k. Just saying.
I agree with Sean, and I think Shawn agrees with Sean, but Shawn didn't seem to notice that Sean had already said that 12k would be the right one, long before Shawn pretended to not read it.I would also recommend 12k, with a snatch block.
.... my old Ramsey 8K PTO laughed at it single lined.

I've seen several 8k winches stall out and burn up deadpulling a CJ up a slight incline. None of them were the Warn M8000, but still. A winch is definitely something you want overkill on, unless, of course, it's just there for the bling factor.
Congrats man. If you're in then the big city sometime let me know and we can grab a beverage. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If the suburban takes the same bumper as the 1/2 ton trucks I build/ sell a couple bumper options that would work for you. Just let me know if you are interested and I can get you more info.Here is a full brush guard bumper I built for a 2012 Silverado. It would look real similar to this.
I just don't want to wind up missing a digit or limb. I can sometimes get in a hurry to get results.
Check the power connection behind and under the drivers seat. I have an 06, but one of the connections was very badly car ones up and not staying connected all the time. May be totally different issue, but is an easy place to start looking.
