In short, I have the Suburban running and driving again. I took her on her first maiden voyage to the gas station earlier this week, followed by a 10+ mile shakedown trip. While there are still some things that need buttoned up and a few projects to finish, there is nothing major preventing the vehicle from being used.

In addition to finishing the wiring, I reinstalled (most) of the interior, and finished installing and charging the completely new AC system, which is working well. I also reinstalled the grill/lights/etcetera. I plan to tackle a few more of the projects to better button up the vehicle, and plan to gradually increase the distance of the shakedown trips until I have confidence built up in the vehicle.

Once I start driving the truck regularly, I will develop a baseline and start focusing on aero mods.
