    '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...

    Telling them that just makes them want to mess with it even more!

    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.

    Front and middle row bucket seat install to replace benches

    Hey guys, I have a 99 K2500 Suburban with base model vinyl bench seats. I want to do bucket seats/captains chairs on front and middle rows, so I've been searching for a donor/junkyard vehicle that I could use. I don't think second row captains chairs were ever offered by the factory, but I've...

    This is actually a Maryland truck.... it was owned by some municipality up there. The guy I got it from bought it at auction.

    The Center Console Thread

    Has anyone tried an Excursion center console? They look like they'd be a good option for a Suburban/Tahoe. https://www.ebay.com/itm/99-04-Ford-Excursion-Eddie-Bauer-Interior-Center-Floor-Console-Woodgrain/254180991944

    Found a donor vehicle for seats and interior parts on Craigslist that was perfect.... they sold it. I had posted pictures here but deleted because it's now irrelevant!

    '99 K2500 6.5 Diesel Suburban Overland Build

    Hey guys, new member here. I just purchased this 1999 K2500 diesel 4x4. It is a former municipal vehicle and came with the yellow lights! It's a bone-stock model. No rear AC, manual windows and door locks, vinyl floors, bench seats, no third row, no cruise control. BUT.... it only has...
