    14 Bolt FF brake adjustment and setup questions.

    I don’t know what to say, the way it was in that photo, I had no e-brake and you couldn’t adjust the brakes without locking the drums up. I swapped the thicker (also happens to be longer) pad to the front and instantly everything works perfectly. I have about 100 miles on it now and nothing...

    14 Bolt FF brake adjustment and setup questions.

    I went by thickness, the thicker one was on the rear, it was about one third thicker than the other one. It does look like the length is opposite though, these are AC Delco shoes too. It was an instant difference, the parking brake worked and there was no sticking or locking up. In the...

    14 Bolt FF brake adjustment and setup questions.

    Changing them around worked perfect, e-brake feels good and I have full brakes again. Adjusting them was also normal. Thanks for the help, really appreciate it.

    They are wrong in that picture, I have not fixed them yet.

    14 Bolt FF brake adjustment and setup questions.

    Everything else looks good, just the shoes backwards, hopefully that solves my issues, lesson learned, I won’t reverse them next time. Now to tear them apart and put them back together.

    14 Bolt FF brake adjustment and setup questions.

    The shoes are definitely wrong, the springs and hardware are all new, nothing is sticking on the e-brake, wheel bearings are fine. When I flip the pads, I will have to look for any grooves in the backing plates, that could also be an issue. This is my first one with slide on drums that was...

    14 Bolt FF brake adjustment and setup questions.

    I am working on a 1996 full float 14 bolt, it is single rear wheel on a Burb, has the slide on drums. When I redid the brakes I put the larger shoe to the rear with the parking brake, drove it for a while, adjusted the brakes up, then had nothing but issues after that, turned into brakes...

    Replacement Carpets? Anyone have suggestions for a Suburban?

    I have some dirty and smelly carpets, the old seats are getting removed as well, previous owner had a dog and that is all I can smell, plus I am upgrading to leather bucket seats so this is the time to replace the carpets. I have heard about carpets that were too short, too thin, terrible fit...

    Anyone?

    Transfer case issues 246 auto4wd seems to stay engaged.

    I forgot to add that it is a 1999 K1500 diesel, not sure if that makes much of a difference.

    Transfer case issues 246 auto4wd seems to stay engaged.

    This is a weird issue, I have been chasing it for a bit, seems to go away, then comes back. The transfer case switch will have no lights lit up, but you can feel that it is in 4 wheel high when turning the wheel, especially when backing up. I will try and push the 2 wheel drive button...

    Sylvania Zevo LED lights, anyone use them?

    I ended up ordering the Zevo ambers and I do not understand the design thought process. As others have said, they only shine light backwards. On top of that, they are not even DOT legal for street usages. I am glad that I didn’t dump more money on them, will be returning them to amazon.

    Sylvania Zevo LED lights, anyone use them?

    Then maybe a mixture of LED incandescent is best. I will play around and see what looks the best. Been thinking of upgrading to all four rear reds anyways.

    Sylvania Zevo LED lights, anyone use them?

    Do you really feel they will be dimmer during the day? I run LEDs on most of my bigger trucks, but they are standard round or oval LED fixtures with lots of LED bulbs. The only issues I have with them is in the winter, the snow does not melt off them, so you have to clean them off in certain...

    Sylvania Zevo LED lights, anyone use them?

    I am probably going to give them a shot, they are more expensive for sure. I do need to research the warranty, as that could be the best part.

    Sylvania Zevo LED lights, anyone use them?

    A friend told me about them, was thinking I might try them out. They have a lifetime warranty (probably a catch, but interesting concept). It seems that the bulbs either work well with the reflector/lens or they don't. Just curious if anyone has any real world experience. I have been...

    My 4 Hi Brake Mod

    Looks great, what do you need to do to make this happen? Just add one wire and new bulbs?

    Another "is the OBS frame the same" thread.

    Not all of the 1500 trucks were 6 lug, I have one with 8 lugs. Or maybe all the half ton suburbans were 8 lug and the pickups were 6 lug?

    Another "is the OBS frame the same" thread.

    I will be seeing the differences first hand, I bought a rust free K1500 to use the body for my K2500 project. I will have to post some pictures when I get things all apart.

    Even when it is a 1500?

    Another "is the OBS frame the same" thread.

    I am in the middle of a project, well two, or is it three? Anyways, I have four suburbans and I am trying to make two good ones. I have started disassembling two of them and will have access to the frames soon, but I also have two more trucks and wanted to find out if the frames are the same...
