    I have gone to the dark side with my new daily driver.

    My poor '04 CTS treated me well, but the miles were stacking up and there were some big repair bills looming. I needed to start with something brand new so I could have the new car warranty with all the miles I put on. I really wanted a new Charger. The new 3.6L and 8-speed auto combo is...

    Street View GMT-400s

    I was cruising down Rodeo Drive the other day via the Street View images in Google Earth when I ran across a nice Tahoe parked in front of one of the stores and it gave me an idea for a thread. How about posting pics of GMT-400s found in Street View? I'm not looking for the average, stock truck...

    The New Family Toy

    My wife and kids and I go camping with my parents a lot. With 3 kids, their 27' c-class motorhome was just too damn small. We needed more space. So, earlier this year we picked up a pop-up camper. Now, I've never been one for pop-ups before. My parents have had an RV since I was born, but never...

    Where is the expansion valve located? Is it inside the truck behind the trim with the blower motor?

    Alternator going bad?

    The last time I had an alternator go bad was on my '72 Duster ages ago. I knew it was done for by the ultra-dim headlights. So forgive me if I'm a little clueless here. The Suburban is giving me starting issues, but the battery tests fine, which leads me to suspect the alternator. Now...

    How To Put LEDs in Moonie Gauges

    I didn't take any pictures of the actual removal of the cluster from the truck, but I'll go ahead and give the steps for those who might be interested. - There are 4 T15 Torx screws holding the dash bezel on. Remove those and you can pull the bezel out. If you have an automatic, you'll...

    Lighted upper corner lenses

    Does anyone have any pics of this? There were a couple threads on FSC with pics, but they're old threads and the pics no longer work.

    Droid Torque App for OBD-II

    This only applies to the '96+ trucks with OBD-II, but has anyone seen this app for Droid phones? I've downloaded the free version of the app and have ordered the Bluetooth OBD-II connector so I can give it a try. I'm sure once I try it out I'll fork up the $5 for the full version of the app...

    Suburban rear shocks equal or unequal length?

    I need to order some Summit rear shocks for my Suburban for when I finally install the hangers, but am not totally sure on what part numbers to order. Are Suburban rear shocks unequal length like the pickups or are they the same? Yes, I'm too lazy to go measure.

    ***Your HID Questions Answered Here.***

    There are TONS of repeat questions about HIDs popping up on FSC lately, so I though I’d make a sticky to try and sort out a lot of the repetition. I don't claim to be an absolute expert with HIDs or the end-all be-all of HID knowledge, but I do have experience with OEM HIDs and I have...

    Battery/alternator/starting issue. I don't know.

    My Suburban is giving me some issues, but I'm not exactly sure what the source is. When you start it up, it drags a little, like the battery isn't giving enough juice. On a cold start, it's not bad, but you can hear it a bit. If I drive it somewhere, turn it off, and have a short stop...

    I love free stuff!

    So, my bodyman bought a '98 Suburban for parts. All he really wanted off of it was the front clip and all the glass. He told a friend of mine that he could have the dash for free as long as he came out and pulled it himself. So my friend called me up to come help him pull it. What a fun job that...

    1badgmc's Suburban Thread

    I figure I'll go ahead and do a build thread for the Suburban to keep track of it here. The Vehicle: 1998 Chevrolet Suburban LS. I purchased it on January 22, 2010 with 166,134 miles on the clock. When I bought it, I talked with the salesperson who sold it to the previous owners. They...

    Another Retrospective: The History of 1badgmc

    I'll follow BHB's lead again and post this here too. I did this over on FSC, but I'll put it here too for those that don't go over there. This is the history of my '91 from the beginning. I graduated HS in '95 and went off to college...with no ride. My HS car, '72 Plymouth Duster 340...

    A lot of you may know me. Several of you may not. I've got several vehicles that I love, but of my trucks, my 2 OBS trucks are my favorites.
