Bolt on Tire Carrier?

Long story short: I've got a set of 4 oem aluminum 18's off a NBS silverado on my suburban but one of them cracked open this week. Found another set of the same 4 wheels for decent on facebook so I have 7+1 of the same wheels now. I'd like to put one in place of the standard spare tire...

Fixing a Rust Hole, how dumb am I?

Alright, so I've got the ol burb parked in the garage waiting for a free weekend to do the front ball joints - and I decided to take a look at a little brown spot I had by the fender. Started standing and sure enough it's a little rust spot that's gone all the way though. I scraped out...

Lpoking for some help with a paint screwup...

Having trouble adding pictures so hopefully this works. I apparently screwed something up when trying to prevent some rust on my burb. I've had the vehicle since 2011, in no salt states until I moved to the rust belt in 2017. This summer I noticed some cancer starting, passenger side front...

CB Radio Mounting and Routing

Anyone still running a CB radio in their trucks? Got a decent quality one for free from someone, figured it wouldn't hurt anything to install it. We use CB handhelds when we hunt and work cows etc, so might get some use. Wondering on where to put it and the best way to get the antenna cable to...

ABS Light on after axle swap

Just finished up swapping a a new rear axle and driveshaft into my 96 suburban 1500 and I have an ABS light still on. Light came on right when the rear and blew going down the road, but the brakes functioned normally. Now that everything's put back together, I've bled the brakes twice and made...

Tailshaft extension crooked?

Long story short, about a month ago the rear end blew up in my '96 Suburban and took almost the entire powertrain behind the transfercase with it. Bad enough that the slip yoke snapped. Anyways, I'm 90% through swapping in a new axle unit and complete driveshaft from a junkyard. I pulled my old...

Low Solid Axle on 96 Suburban

This is all hypothetical at this point, but some time in the future I would consider doing a solid axle swap on my 1996 Sub 1500. The burb does see some offroading, more for business than pleasure though, but mostly I'm interested in making the front end less complex. There are some real rough...

Seat Clip Part Numbers

I've had my 1996 suburban for about 6 years now, just getting around to fixing some small things on it. Ever since I bought it, one of the plastic clips that holds the fold down floor up on the second row seats has been missing. I've rummaged through a few scrap yards and some police auctions...
