    Weight Cuts - for *Suburban* - Anyone done it?

    My 1500 '98 is the one Im more interested in- Basically I'm just trying to get a ballpark of what all of the interior weighs in a suburban, so I can know about what weight difference is being made when i strip it down

    Weight Cuts - for *Suburban* - Anyone done it?

    Hey all. Figured weight cutting plays into performance and is the primary reason for it, lol. Hope this thread is not out of place I've got an 88' Burb and a very clean 98. I am wondering - with there being so much to the interior of these, so many seats, so much deadening, so much...

    Did I screw up my Engine? Lucas ZDDP - Good running TBI

    Thanks for the answers guys. I read a few places that above 1500 or so PPM it becomes actively corrosive to the cylinder walls, bearings etc in the motor and it is DELIBERATELY corrosive to aid in break in. Seemed ruinous to be 'breaking in' again an engine that was long broken in lol I'll...

    '88 TBI Suburban - Engine Overhaul - Help me plot this out

    Can you do a roller cam conversion with the motor still in the vehicle? Anyone have reccomendations for a mild flat tappet cam, or would you only do a cam mod if I went roller? If so whats a good mild roller cam. If anyone has experience putting vortec heads on a TBI what needs to be done to...

    '88 TBI Suburban - Engine Overhaul - Help me plot this out

    My understanding of the O2 Sensor is that it is an unheated model, that the Y pipe on the TBI's is deliberately slow flowing to 'warm up' this unheated sensor, and that a heated sensor would be needed or preferred as a mod in this case

    '88 TBI Suburban - Engine Overhaul - Help me plot this out

    I'll probably start with Y pipe by the sound of it, Do I need to change to a heated sensor for that? If I were to do a cam, what might be a mild - mild+cam I should look at? I have considering putting the Vortec heads on - The TBI cam is apparently notorious for being the sh!ttest cam that came...

    '88 TBI Suburban - Engine Overhaul - Help me plot this out

    After establishing that my engine is probably completely fine- **I want to do some mods to step up the power, possibly get a little MPG bump along with it. Get it more in line with the L31 'Vortec, maybe a little above without drastically reducing engine life, for 1500 or less preferably. **...

    Did I screw up my Engine? Lucas ZDDP - Good running TBI

    Hey all, new here - Got a former Moab Medic truck this year, 83k original miles with great maintenance. 3/4 ton. **TBI ENGINE that I'll be doing vortec mods to** I recently took it on a long multistate trip, living out of it partly. Ran very well. On the last leg, I'd bought some Lucas ZDDP...
