    Changing tires fast ‘ Going opposite ways ..Need opinions on what will ride smoother and be good for a 5k suv ”

    I had a set of the Toyo AT3s on my green Tacoma...not low noise at all, and they were P-metrics. Great everywhere else, however. K02s are GREAT looking tire and wear like iron, but I've found them to be lacking in the wet traction area. My top contenders are the Yokohama Geolandar G015...

    96 GMC K2500 Suburban Restoration (with a couple of mods)

    Do you have an OBD2 scanner setup, so you can see the actual temp? For $30-35 you can get the Torque Pro app and an ELM reader for the OBD2 port. It'll give you instant temp of the engine and trans as they see it through the sensors. Lots of other really cool things you can read with these as...

    96 GMC K2500 Suburban Restoration (with a couple of mods)

    Looks like a cool trip! Were you working it hard when it was 210*? I've had mine run between 205-210* running down the interstate into a headwind with an enclosed trailer at 72mph. Make sure all the fins are clean in your respective coolers to let the airflow through.

    Suburban driving me crazy!!!

    Could be torque converter shutter. Iridium plugs are overkill for your setup, try some copper or platinum plugs instead, stick with AC Delco brand.

    I'm running 2" Stahl steel spacers(same company as Bora) on the back of my Suburban. Definitely my favored company to buy from for that stuff.

    Oil Question

    Rotella produces some of the best oil out there. I've run Rotella in gas engines for almost 4 decades...it will be fine.

    Show off Your TOTM sticker

    Kenny, I need to trade mine out with you for one of the Suburban stickers if you still have one!

    1994 K1500 ECSB "The G Wagon"

    Drive the hell out of it...don't save it for the next guy. 350s are "cheap" to rebuild and you can get ALL of the maintenance parts. My DD Tundra has over 235k on it.

    I drive more miles in a week than you do in a month!

    Oil Question

    10w30 isn't heavier per say...its a touch heavier when cold, but once the engine is up to operating temp, no difference. Synthetic blend is everywhere if you're worried about running full synthetic. I run Rotella T6 full synthetic 5w40 in my Vortec 7.4L. When I was daily driving it, it liked...

    Flipside.. NICE 1999 C2500 7.4 Suburban Houston TX

    You can fix both of those issues....just saying! I'd prefer cloth myself, but settled for the leather in my rig because it was so clean and it only had 88k on when I bought it with the 5.0 injectors done already.

    Flipside.. NICE 1999 C2500 7.4 Suburban Houston TX

    Richard, that one is pretty clean...grey interior is an immediate no for me however. That $12k number is, as much as I hate to admit it, the going rate for a lower mileage Vortec 454 rust free 'burb. Mine only has 125k and it would take a hell of a lot more money than that to pry it out of my...

    If you want to see what they look like without the flares, just look at two-wheel drive rigs. The reality of it is, if you keep your rig clean and washed especially in the winter time you shouldn't have any issues. In my opinion, removing the flares from your Suburban will kill the look.

    Dynomax universal ultra flow 17519

    17233 would be my recommendation. Depends on how loud you want it, and if you want to run dual exits off of the muffler? The 17233 is a 3"I/O muffler that has a 20" body. It will give you a nice low clean sound and shouldn't have any drone with the cat still in place.

    Alright J, are you going to finish this one the whole way...or just tease us and punt? :Big Laugh:

    It's still going to settle some, you need to put some miles on it. Also, the rear arch isn't cut as high as the front arch. My Suburban at stock ride height measures 36.5" F and 36.75" at the rear and it has waaaayyyy more rake than a .25".

    96 GMC K2500 Suburban Restoration (with a couple of mods)

    My comment was more directed at researching (youtube, tech manual, etc) the repairs themselves. I've come home with vehicles that were not what I thought when I bought them, that's unfortunately the gamble we all take. This one about got me in a fist fight with a general manager of a high...

    96 GMC K2500 Suburban Restoration (with a couple of mods)

    If you list it and buy different, you get to start the process over again. Guys like Smokey Yunick didn't even have any formal training, and he did work for the BIG 3. We all have to start somewhere, I thought I was mechanic in high school...I wasn't. It didn't happen overnight, but over time...

    New tire Dilemma

    Another vote for the Yokohama Geolander G015. I'm on my 3rd set with different vehicles. Best overall A/T I've found for quiet on the highway and great in the snow/ice/rain. Everytime I've strayed, I've been disappointed. Cooper has a new one with RWL that might fit the bill. I can't stand...

    I may have an addiction.

    Did you try starting it in neutral instead of park? Condition of the battery cables?
