    '99 K2500 6.5 Diesel Suburban Overland Build

    I picked up the truck today from the fab shop. New swing out tire carrier/rear bumper and new side steps/rock sliders were installed. I’m super happy with this work!

    I didn't do any of the interior myself. I don't have the knowledge or experiece. I had a local shop do it all. I have already bought a leather steering wheel with controls from a newer GMC Jimmy. It's really nice.

    I really like it. It rides and handles well. Yes, I am using the RC shocks and they're good so far. I would have gone Bilstein but since these came with the kit I figured why not.

    Sorry, typo. 4" kit! I bought the kit from Heath and had a local muffler shop do it. No pics right now, but I will take some.

    Sorry, somehow my notifications for this thread got turned off, and I haven't logged on lately! It feels great now! The response was very sluggish before, but now it is HOT! I just had some diesel gauges installed and I have verified that my boost is never exceeding 10PSI. I also did the...

    I’ve also installed a new 5” turbo back exhaust, removed the vacuum pump, deleted the vacuum pulley, installed a shorter belt, installed the Heath Turbomaster mechanical wastegate controller, and the Heath inline HD lift pump. When doing this other work I discovered the fuel tank had a pinhole...

    I haven’t updated this in forever because i really hadn’t done much yet! The paint shop just finished up the repaint. I decided to go back with the factory white. I removed all body moldings and won’t be putting them back on (I got some current model black badging to use instead). I also...

    Sagging seat back netting in Suburbans and Tahoes

    Has anyone repaired their sagging seat pockets? That netting looks ratty and there's got to be a good way to tighten it up. I searched the forums and couldn't find any posts about this. Thanks in advance.
