    Doogie's Suburban Thread

    I'm hoping the 454 gives me a few more miles before it gives me too much fuss. Two door tahoe work truck sounds like a rare bird.

    newer wheels on older truck

    I'm jealous of the OEM options you all have for the six lug rigs. Good looking trucks.

    Very cool. The crew cab short beds are so good looking. I look forward to following your progress.

    Doogie's Suburban Thread

    4600s are installed. Holy cow what a difference. The old ones were completely shot. I tried so hard to salvage the splash guards on the front, but they fell apart. I'll probably try to make some out of some mud flaps or floor mats. I could do the shocks, but I want to the pros to replace the...

    I did mean power steering. I must have misunderstood some of the info I have read about how the hydroboost brakes works.

    Whoa brake woes

    Been busy. Back to it I do have hydroboost. It seems like I may have misunderstood some posts I read about how the power steering and brake booster work together. The rear chamber of the the master cylinder was low. I topped it off and it felt better for a bit but got bad quickly. No obvious...

    Whoa brake woes

    I only drive my 1996 burb 2500 on the weekends. I had a weird day with the brakes today. First the pedal got mushy but didn't cause much drama. Now I can push the brakes to the floor and the brake warning light kicks on. It always stopped but not as quick as I'd like as I limped it home. PS...

    454. Vortec max miles you would go?

    I just paid $ 1500 for a 96 burb 2500 4x4 that has 260k miles. It's a dog and will need rebuilt eventually. I don't drive much and when the motor needs replaced I'll be ready for it.

    Doogie's Suburban Thread

    Another trip in to the boneyard in the rain netted me chrome mirrors off a 94 pickup, a matching fuel door, and the interior trim for the barn doors. All for $40. Of course the GM rows are in a low spot. I could have used waders. I learned that later years don't often come with manual mirrors...

    Whelp, there are 4 speakers. I forgot about the two in the back. I think my short is in one of them. Radio makes some noise if I hit a speed bump quick enough. I'll pull them out this week if weather cooperates.

    These guys have them for suburbans. I would guess they're similar.

    The Stupid Axle Questions Thread

    I am afraid this question my be too dumb for this thread. I have a noise that almost sounds like air being let out of a bike tire from the passenger side of the engine compartment that I can hear after I shut the engine off. I am wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction? Thanks

    Doogie's Suburban Thread

    Hello, I am digging the forum. Lots of great information here. The picture above is my awesome, ugly, 1996 Suburban 2500 base/fleet model. This bad boy has 260k miles, manual windows, two bench seats and a big block. It has been a long time since I have owned a vehicle that I wanted to turn...
