Im kinda done with the engine again and just want to drive it, not eff with it.
Odd though it seems to be slowly getting better. I can say for sure the misfire is nearly gone and actually running better than ever. Usually seems to happen before something big happens but for now im just gonna drive it.
Hunting season is almost here anyway so no time for messing with it.
After hunting season i'll probably start in on the interior and finish the stereo.
+ i'll be messing with the 2001 suburban also!

Well i don't know.
Ended up selling it for real close to what i was asking.
Would post about my new one and the build on it but it's a GMT800.
We'll shoot. I was really looking forward to you getting it nailed down. Thanks for the follow-up.

Man i was just so done with it.
As far as i was concerned the next thing was to take the head's off and i was just not into doing that.
I will miss the 454 though. No way a 6.0LS compares for getting a suburban rolling.

I get it though, at least you got what you were asking for it, enjoy the new rig for a minute; I've been debating on getting a GMT800 Burb for my wife's truck wantsies.

Too bad... but sometimes you just gotta move on.

I don't think a build thread for a GMT800 would be inappropriate-

Can't say that I'm not disappointed but I've been there with a vehicle before. I'm glad you got close to what you asked for it.

This is why there is the "other vehicle builds" section on here right?

I saw the ad when I was shopping rust free 3/4T burbs in the PNW. Good luck with the new rig.
