    Airbag Went Off

    You ever have one of those days where you walk out to start your truck in the morning only to find this? Now I need a new dash and passenger side airbag at minimum. Could anyone tell me why this might've happended? The airbag light had come on in the week leading up to this happening, but I...

    2001 Chevrolet S10 Blazer Daily Driver Build

    So I've been looking for a new daily driver for a while now. The 'Ol Busurban is nice and all, but it's high miles and not the best on gas. With all the driving I plan to do this year (Storm Chasing) I need something a little smaller. So I came up with this, which is quite possible the...

    33x12.5x15 On My Suburban

    So Inwasnlooking on Marketplace the other day and found me this set of American Racing Outlaw 2's for a really good deal. My Suburban is a '98 K1500 that's mostly stock, though I think the Torsion bars have been cranked a bit. Anyways, I also found myself a set of BFG A/T 33x12.5x15 tires at...

    Has anone here actually done a 4wd to 2wd conversion?

    So as some of you may know, the 4L60E in my Suburban went out for the 3rd time, and I promised myself I'd manual swap the truck if it happended again. Well I don't have a whole lot of money to do the swap, and finding a 4x4 NV3500 complete with T-Case is proving very difficult. I know of a 2wd...

    NP241 TCase Interchange.

    So as some of you may know, my venerable 1998 Chevrolet Suburban has blown up another 4L60E. I was going up a bit of a grade when I heard a loud clanking noise, before loosing all gears. These faliures all seem unrelated, since the first trans still shifted fine loosing reverse. Second one...

    Easy 95-99 Crached Dash Repair.

    I think I've stumbled upon probably the easiest very solid dash repair you can do on one of these trucks. I just lightly sanded the edges of the cracks and used some fast dry panel bond adhesive. I've realized how great this stuff really is, and I think it people should have it in any home...

    The New Frontier

    So I've been looking for an excuse to leave this god forsaken state for quite a while now, and I've finally found it. It's called Lincoln Technical Institute of Denver Colorado. I'm not going to get into all the details, but I'm taking the collision repair program (as well as my associates)...

    34's on my '98 Busurban K1500.

    So my tires are from the junkyard and about 8 years old, so I'm looking at getting a new set very soon. I was just going to get a brand new set of 31x10.5x15s, but I found these 34x9.5x15 super swampers on craigslist near me. What are the chances that I could get these tires to fit underneath...

    It might be comming back!!!

    Remember how I sold my '98 to buy this '86? Well one of my previous Burbs might be coming back, not the '98 though. My '95 with C1500!!! Might happen, so stay tuned.

    95-98 Dash To 88 Dash Swap.

    I've seen a lot of people do the inverse of this swap, but I'm wondering if anyone had done what I want to do. The look I'm going for with my Burb is for it to be an '88/'89 suburban if they made gmt400 burbs back then. I'm a real big fan of the boxy square body looking dash of the older...

    HELP! 4l60e is being a Dick Weed!

    I just recently bought this '98 Burban, and everything seemed good with the transmission, it shifted perfectly, the fluid looked good, but all of a sudden I was moving around my driveway, and it wouldn't go into reverse or drive. Then I turned the ignition off for a minute, and it seemed to be...

    '98 Busurban Storm Chase Vehicle Build

    For the 2021 Storm Season, I decided I need to build myself a nice storm chase vehicle. Not to say my last one wasn't nice, but it had a few issues. This '95 Burb has 340k on the original engine and even transmission, but those were highway miles, so I was confident in it being up to the...

    Busurban Touch Up.

    I just bought me a nice, nearly rust free, '98 Burb k1500 with manually shifted 4wd, wind up windows, and 3 bench seats. Nice looking truck, but it does have a little bit of rust in the passenger side lower quarter/rocker. So on my day off, I decided to start working on it. First I cut out...

    $250 1989 Chevy K2500 Light Duty Truck TLC/Paint

    I got one hell of a deal right here. The truck sat for 10 years, but only has 106k on it. I paid the guy before I even checked if the motor was locked up, and then started that I fully intend to drive it 15 miles home. Of course it started up with ease, and with the help of an electric fuel...

    Wham-Bam POS Paint Job

    This $300 1988 Chevy C1500 is very solid mechanically (I just installed a new transmission). It just looks like a Piece of ****. I am not about to spend $2000 on redoing the body on this thing, so I decided to do a cheap ass paint job on it. After fixing the larger rust holes with some old...

    Stealies and Dogdish Hub Caps

    My beloved 1974 GMC C1500 recently whiped a cam lobe on it's original 250 inline 6, so I had to park it for the time being (while I pull the engine apart this winter). I decided to borrow the wheels off of it and swap them with my '95 Chevy Suburban C1500, since I think it's wheels were just...
