    Suburban 454 / 7.4 Exhaust Options in 2015

    Well, I think my options are either 1) 100% custom [very pricey] as mentioned or 2) Hybrid [pricey but a bit less so]. I have the SSDiesel stainless cat-back on my K2500 6.5 Diesel and it is awesome. The muffler is a straight-through design but miraculously not as obnoxiously loud as a...

    Suburban 454 / 7.4 Exhaust Options in 2015

    Hey folks! I'm back with yet another project. Recently purchased a clean 1997 Burb 3/4-ton in white/tan. This is my FOURTH Suburban (88 3/4 ton, 97 1/2 ton, 96 3/4 ton diesel). I guess I love 'em. I could have bought anything else but these are my favorite body style. Anyway, way back in the...

    eBay 14 Bolt Disc Brake Conversion Kit

    None yet. I'm broke. After getting my new diesel 'Burb this past summer, selling my ECSB, and pouring thousands into repairs, mods, and upgrades, I have little free cash and little time (I'm a 2 job sucker). I'll probably wind up going with the Great Lakes kit in the Spring. Can't do a damned...

    Blacking Out my Truck!

    Don't listen to anyone on this thread - myself included. "Blackout was big 5 years ago..." WTF? That means nothing. Do what works for you no matter what anyone else says. Who cares what other people think? It's your truck. If you like the look, go for it! Personally, I have never liked the...

    12v Cigarette Lighter Power After Ignition is Off

    Well, as the title implies, my truck still provides lighter power after I turn off the ignition. First, is this normal? Secondly, I'd like to find a way to stop this. It's troubling. I sometimes forget to turn off a random radar, phone charger, or inverter. My latest toy is a two-camera...

    Whats my truck worth?

    You'd get lucky to get $4,000 in the Tri-State for it. The customizations pretty much hold no value in resale unless you're lucky enough to find that rare enthusiast.

    The Stupid Interior Questions Thread

    I've seen it somewhere on the forum in the past but now, can't find it. I'm looking for a can of interior paint that bonds to plastic to mimic the factory dash and accessory finish. Specifically, I'm looking for can of Tan/Neutral so that I can spray my black (ABS I think) GlowShift gauge pod to...

    SSDiesel Exhaust Installed on Suburban

    For you Diesel guys, I bought the SSDiesel stainless steel exhaust a couple of weeks ago. I got the exhaust on Friday and love it! It's pretty monstrous (from the muffler back). It's beautiful IMO. It sounds fantastic. Slightly noticeable in the cabin with the windows closed. Nothing...

    power steering pump

    It's not hard at all. I just replaced mine. The hardest part is dealing with the cramped quarters. Umm... more like I did mine without removing the fan cuz I was lazy. I still got the job done - took about an hour. It's a lot easier without the fan in the way. BTW, you rent the puller from many...

    What kind of mileage do you get?

    14 - 15 around town. 19 - 21 on the highway (if I keep it to 65 or so). Diesel FTMFW!

    Front and rear bumper

    Certainly, OEM is better quality - no argument there. But for the price, these aftermarket ones can't be beat nor can you complain all that much really. I had no such problems with my LMC bumpers. I've bought two of them and they've fit perfectly. Maybe I just got lucky or others have been...
