    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...

    Front and rear bumper

    $100 (more like $120 + shipping) is what you'll spend on a brand new primed one from AutoAnything or LMC. Why go through the extra aggravation?

    To Keep the hood scoop or to ditch it?

    Didn't mean any of insult. My apologies if it was taken that way. I look at it kind of like art. As far as the ram-air, does the Keystone have a direct funnel to a corresponding custom intake? It would need it to benefit from any appreciable increase in power at speed.

    To Keep the hood scoop or to ditch it?

    I dunno. I really hope no one takes offense to this but the stick on faux scoops, cowls, other scoops, 442's, all look straight-up PepBoys rice'ish to me - strictly personally. Especially because 99% don't serve any mechanical purpose (like Pontiac RamAir). I really prefer the clean look of a...

    Front and rear bumper

    They used to be really easy to find. Now-a-days, you have to dig pretty deep. Our platform is aging :( Here's one: http://www.autopartswarehouse.com/sku/GMC/K2500_Suburban/Replacement/Bumper/1996/SLT/8_Cyl_6-dot-5L/5755-1.html?loc=Front&tlc=Exterior+Accessories&intcmpid=Product+Listings+Best+Seller

    Front and rear bumper

    Primed/flat bumpers are sold. You probably don't want to go through the nightmare of "de-chroming" a bumper. Many folks have painted over chrome though - without de-chroming - and got it to look real good. Personally, I wouldn't do it.

    Front and rear bumper

    Not sure about the roll pan. But, LMC has great choices (with great fitment) for the smoothie front. Here's mine. Bolted right up with perfect fitment to stock inner and outer brackets.

    Front License Plate Bracket

    Dunno. I'll find out in a few days. If not, I can just fab something up from hardware I have lying around the house. For $10 bucks, who cares? Mounting hardware is prolly just 4 screws and/or a couple of vinyl anchors.

    Differences between 1995 OBS and 96-98 trucks?

    I think he was asking about the diff from 95 to 96-98, not from 94 - 95 which had a major interior/dash redesign. TBI to Vortec was mentioned starting in 96 on the gas engines. Another noticeable visual difference was the addition (in 96) of passenger side front airbag. Notice the cupholders on...
