    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...

    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...

    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...

    Installed Replacement Leather Yesterday from TheSeatShop

    Well folks, here's the before: And here's the after! :evillol: I'm thrilled! My busted up foam and ghetto leather has been driving me mad since I got the truck. I investigated all options (local upholstery shop, eBay, Craigslist, used complete sets, junkyard, etc.). In the end, I ordered...

    eBay 14 Bolt Disc Brake Conversion Kit

    Anyone ever use this kit? http://www.ebay.com/itm/GM-10-5-14-Bolt-Full-Float-Disc-Brake-Conversion-Kit-/350631085655?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item51a33dc657&vxp=mtr Seems really cheap but complete. My other considerations are Off Road Designs or Great Lakes Off-Road...

    Chop Top Pickup - The Bronx Keeps on Fakin' It

    Can't figure out if I like this or hate it. One thing's for certain: it's upholding the Bronx reputation http://newyork.craigslist.org/brx/cto/3317328703.html

    1996 K2500 Diesel Suburban - What's this thing behind my grill?

    Hey all. Finally got to getting my bumper and grill on yesterday. Love the new look. However, I discovered this oddity behind my grill. I should have taken a picture with the grill off - I know. It's about the size of a pack of cigarettes with a couple of wires going somewhere into the engine...

    New Acquisition: 1996 K2500 Suburban 113K Miles

    Well, I'm selling my '97 pickup (it's up on Craigslist now) as I realized I'm a 'Burb aficionado tried and true. I had a 1997 Suburban for 8 years up until 4 years ago and have kicked myself in the ass for selling it ever since. It's especially painful as the guy I sold it to lives 10 miles from...

    6BT Cummins 1994 Custom Lifted SFA Suburban

    http://newjersey.craigslist.org/cto/3275583993.html Pretty cra... Price-wise, I think the guy's way of base or what anyone would reasonably pay for that thing despite his investment. But, whatever. It's not my style at all but I appreciate the workmanship.

    FS: NY 1997 GMC Sierra 1500 1/2 Ton 154K Miles

    Well, folks, I do hate to do this but I'm putting up my truck for sale :( I'm only doing it because I need the "utility" of a Suburban like I used to have for 8 years. I'm not leaving the GMT400 community though. I'll be starting my long search for a good condition 96-99 K2500 diesel 'Burb. Most...

    Extended Cab Quarter Window Latch

    Hi guys. I've seen a few random threads here and there on the Interwebs, including here, but no definitive answer. Does anyone know where (preferably online) to buy the Quarter Window Latch for an Extended Cab? Both of mine broke... sigh. I've found only (1) here...

    Front End Noise When Backing Up - Suspension Shot

    Hey all. Well, this is a weird one indeed. I knew when I bought the truck that I needed front-end work during the test drive - no surprise there. I can today cut the wheel about 20 - 30 degrees with zero effect on turning! Pretty horrible. Not exactly the picture of nimbleness and handling -...

    HT383E Stroker Engine Swap

    Anyone done it? Results? Impressions? Videos? Dynos? My 152K truck is still running great but I envision a day when it won't. I won't want to spend a ton of money ( < $5K) on a swap and want to keep it emissions legal / inspection passable while having substantially more power and a little...

    WTB: NYS: GovLoc G80 3.42 or 3.73 1/2 ton 6-bolt Axle for 1997 Sierra

    Title says it all. I've been on the fence about purchasing a brand new TrueTrac carrier for my rear one-legger 10-bolt 1997 Sierra. I think I'd lean towards purchasing a used 14-bolt with a G80 GovLoc if I could find one nearby for a reasonable price. :hmm:

    Stiffer Heavier Duty Upgraded Front Suspension 1/2 Ton for Plowing

    Well, the thread title kind of says it all. I can hear the chants now "get a 3/4 or 1-ton." I know. But I don't plan on plowing all that often and really like my 1/2 ton. I'm seriously considering a Boss HT plow (about 430 lbs) as they're specifically designed for 1/2 tons. My issue is, in...

    TopUp Vertical Lift Tonneau

    Ok. A.R.E. bought these guys 5 years ago and promptly shut them down for reasons unknown to me. Grrrr!!! They are no longer produced yet this is the exact tonneau that best fits my particular needs now that I have a pickup. Basically, this was the only commercially available vertical lift...

    Numer or Tire Size Search Doesn't Seem To Work

    Hi there. Relative n00b to this forum but member on others for years/decades - mostly VBulletin. I can't get search for numbers or tire size to return any results here whatsoever although it works perfectly fine on most of the other forums, including VB, of which I'm a member. Some of...

    325/60/18 or 305/60/18

    Hi guys. Recently started modding my (new to me) 97 ECSB. I owned a 97 'Burb for 8 years prior so I'm pretty familiar with this rig. On my 'Burb, I had 285/60/18's on Weld Evo Andros 18x9 -12mm offset with zero rubbing issues ever on stock suspension. Not to get into it, but I'm haunted...
