Important Note: While these are the common combinations, there might be very rare exceptions or special orders. The VIN is the only definitive way to know the exact engine and transmission in your specific 1999 Suburban 1500 4x4. You can find the VIN on your vehicle's dashboard (typically on the driver's side) or in your vehicle's registration documents. Once you have the VIN, you can use online VIN decoders or contact a Chevrolet dealership to get the exact specifications.
