Think you could be due for a new battery in your 1983 GMC K2500 Suburban? In general, car batteries only last three to five years.

Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your K2500 Suburban stranded. Your GMC K2500 Suburban won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.
