    1991 chevy manual transmission options

    I believe either would be a direct bolt in, might have to change a pigtail for the reverse light. NV4500 from 1996 and later trucks will have an internal slave, in which case you would need that plus new master line. It's covered more in this thread...

    Looking for Front end grill and bumper images

    1999 Suburban 2500 with 94 and earlier GMC Grill and 1988 quad headlights. I'm planning on making a custom grille, putting bumper guards back on, and putting orange clearance style lights in the old trim holes in the bumper.

    Custom Grille Opinions

    I've been feeling like changing up the grille on my Suburban lately, getting tired of the lack of options for lenses and marker lamps for the early GMC grill. I love the open grill of the GMC, but hate the big open space under the marker lights on 96+ ones. Wondering what a chevy grill would...

    Manual Swap, Transfer Case and Driveshaft Question

    Sounds like a pretty rare combo, can't say I've ever seen a 4l60E with a 14Bff behind it. But you responding prompted me to do more research. Going off Dorman's website, Looks like a K2500 Burb/RCLB with 4l80e is 61.5" Driveshaft, while a 4l60e Burb/RCLB or NV3500 RCLB uses a 63.125" Driveshaft...

    Message him on this forum with your email address and truck year, engine, and transmission. He sent me a sheet for my truck about 2 weeks ago.

    I've got a 1995 4x4 NV4500 to swap into my 1999 Suburban 4x4, so I wanted to see if anyone could help me fill my holes here. My vehicle: 1999 2500 Suburban 454 4L80E, 14 bolt FF, NP241 TC NV4500 Donor: 1995 ECLB 2500 350 NV4500, 14 Bolt SF, NP241 TC I know my driveshaft will be a little bit...

    NV4500 sources?

    I'm looking at similar swap for my Suburban. No matter the engine, all NV4500 95 and up(possibly earlier) should be the same, to include the bellhousing bolt pattern. Dodge NV4500 have a different bolt pattern and will require an adapter, which combined will probably be more than a GM one. The...

    Is this a rare/uncommon two tone?

    My 1993 SCLB back in highschool had the same paint. Its gotta be at least decently rare, I've only seen 2 or 3 others with the same color, excluding yours. It is my favorite color scheme for these trucks though, I'd love to get my suburban painted with the same code. Sent from my PH-1 using...

    Add a toggle switch to get 2 low?

    The rear axles in 4x4 and 2wd are the same generally. The "lock" we are referring too is a keyed slip ring type deal that connects one of the front drive shafts to the gears in the differential. GMT-400 never came with a true locking differential, front or rear, just a G80 that locks when your...

    Add a toggle switch to get 2 low?

    I assume you mean using rear axle as a front axle. Its within the realm of possibility : https://www.powernationtv.com/two-minute-tech/2min-467/convert-a-14-bolt-to-a-steering-axle Honestly not worth it unless you want a hell of a wheeling rig. You would still have to do a solid axle swap...

    Mirrors

    I'm not aware of taller non-towing mirrors, but I like to be able to see my wheels from my mirrors, so I buy small stick on blind spot mirrors from the auto parts stores. I'd imagine they should be able to do what you need for a good cost without tow mirrors or custom options. Sent from my PH-1...

    Vortec Engine to TBI Swap

    I already have an Edelbrock 650 that is on the current engine, I originally got it for $200 plus the cost of a rebuild kit. For TBI parts, the Pick a part near me is always running 40% off sales too, and absolutely no lack of GMT400s. They even had a 92 3500 with 454 and throttlebody still...
