'99 c2500 Burb fun
I put a set of KYB Monomax on an E-150 van my grandparents had. And they rode quite well on that big old thing. I consider those my secondary choice. Avoid the KYB GR-2/Excel-G shocks. Those were far worse than my factory original Bilstein shocks. Edit: spelling- Dravec

My new project truck: '99 K2500 Suburban
Well, it has been almost three years since I last actually drove her, but I feel like I remember the gauge reading lower, more at the 210 mark, or a tick below. Basically where I'm used to everything reading on these trucks. She doesn't act like she has an air bubble or anything.- Dravec

So, she fires up and idles really good now, but the temp gauge reads well over 215, maybe over 220 when fully warmed, despite the computer logging between 195 & 204. I had to replace the sending unit on the cylinder head, as when trying to install the driver's side exhaust manifold, I dropped it...- Dravec

OEM fender flares for 92-99 suburban
I thought the Suburban and Tahoe/Yukon flares were taped on on the rear, with lip screws? I know my '99 K3500 the rear flares bolted through the bed side. Fronts I am sure bolt through the fender no matter what. -
stuff that catches my eye
Those things have a 7500 lb tow rating with standard gears, 8000 lb with the deep gears. They're rated the same as my '02 1500HD with a 6.0 & 3.73s. Source: my Grandad has one of those. It is incredibly bad@$$ for what it is.- Dravec

My new project truck: '99 K2500 Suburban
Yup! I've had a hard time not grinning this morning since she runs now. She hasn't been registered since January '21. Just a few more systems to square away, and she'll be on the road again.- Dravec

My new project truck: '99 K2500 Suburban
Turns out, I missed the #7 spark plug when I was plugging in the plug wires. So the tapping/knocking noise I was hearing? Yeah, that was the plug wire trying to ignite the spark plug heat shield. Not the spark plug. :banghead::suicide: So. Got that fixed, and now she fires up and runs. Idles at...- Dravec

My new project truck: '99 K2500 Suburban
Ok, supposing the weather here holds tomorrow afternoon, I'll be starting to try and diagnose what's going on with Elise. I have an inspection camera from work, so that I can make sure that the cylinders are actually clear. My biggest fear is that I somehow managed to inadvertently drop...- Dravec
