Dave, Suburbans are Notorious here in Texas for eating 700R4s in short order!
First of All!!!...........
#1..Get the Radiator pulled out have have it Serviced if it hasn't been out before now, then it is time! I will bet a Big Red Sodeee Water that your Radiator is somewhat plugged up and the increase in operation temp has helped to the demise of the tranny. Plug the in-tank-cooler holes! I think 3/8 pipe plugs are the size!
#2.. Go buy the biggest aftermarket Tranny cooler you can find. And mount it up in front of the radiator behind the Grill. Get whatever hardware and mounting straps needed at your local Hardware Store. Rubber hose and clamps at your Auto parts
Store.
You will be running the Tranny cooling system totally separate from the engine cooling system. This has been the biggest problem with GMs for Yrs. They ran the both together, but a small engine temp change that is not even noticeable to most folks will start a tranny to cook!
I did that with a 88, Chevy Sub(350/700R4) @ 150K and got it to go to 240K before it finely quite for good.
When the subject of GM Trannys come up......Tempature is Not Your Friend!
Hope this Helps.
Later,
John A.

Today's Featured Article - New Hitches For Your Old Tractor - by Chris Pratt. For this article, we are going to make the irrational and unlikely assumption that you purchased an older tractor that is in tip top shape and needs no immediate repairs other than an oil change and a good bath. To the newcomer planning to restore the machine, this means you have everything you need for the moment (something to sit in the shop and just look at for awhile while you read the books). To the newcomer that wants to get out and use the machine for field work, you may have already hit a major roadblock. That is the dreaded "proprietary hitch". With the exception of the ...
