I have been debating on the wheels swap and I think decided to keep the steel wheels on the white one. Green one has wrangler tires, and I never liked them due to noise. Steel wheels also seem to fit the white well.

Only 4-5k lb load, but pulls in OD at 40mph with locked tcc and 1200 rpm if no big hills. Otherwise after 60mph stays locked in OD around 1800 rpm. Will try to do same load test on a stock 98 with 4.10 gears

Sweet rig, Love it. I miss my hd suburban. They are beasts. Ps towing in OD is not a good idea but with that low of weight you should be fine.

Thanks.
As long as it is not doing the lock/unlock game all the time, 4th works. With heavier load or when staying below 65mph for long distance with a trailer I keep it in 3rd. I have a very slow rebuild in progress on a spare 4l80e but stock one has been holding good so far. Torque converter is a basic reman, but will be getting a triple disk billet converter eventually.
Some city driving comparison so far, stock 98 with 4.10 gears has almost similar take off up to about 2k rpm and then difference between the two really increases in favor of the burban (3.73 gears).

Where you experiencing noise from the bushings being out? I've done rebuilt my whole front suspension and I be hearing a thump upon take off and braking. Only on the driver side. Upon checking I saw the bushings that your missing is torn on mine. Wonder if that's what could be causing the thump

With shock bushing gone it was very obvious noise wise

Helped pull out and tow couple of trucks. Need to try getting 2500 running, but it has been attempted to steal and column is tore up. Will have to work with it. Had to drag the nissan out with locked up wheels to hard ground first. Towed overall well. Could maintain 70mph in od and locked torque converter at about 1900rpm even through slight inclines and hills.
I do need to get the new 4l80e put together as it would better handle towing in od vs stock
With the nissan on the trailer it was about equivalent in performance to how my 91 suburban was with 350tbi unloaded.

My winch is very underpowered (atv winch). Had to play ratchet strap game.
Need to make sense on what is damaged in ignition for passlock to be back and happy.

Unashamed 400 addict. Best. Trucks. Ever.
Looks like an ignition cylinder and cylinder housing, as well as the ignition switch.
