    Right hand drive pictures

    That's interesting. I have always wondered, on the suburban the middle seat, it is also inverted, as the front seat? The front is 70/30, the middle is 80/20. Are the portions reversed so that the small portion is on the left instead of the NA right side?

    Need help finding these wheels!

    I keep applying for a job at the fitting rooms at "Vicky's" secrets, I know I have lots of expertise in the material.... why wouldn't they want an opinion that isn't an echo chamber?

    Need help finding these wheels!

    I have had that thought about many a catalog search engine... let ME set the sort criteria..... no matter if it's offset amount, wheel width, or weight.... or anything else I dream up.... And I want to be able to do it for any part. Fuel pump length, alternator depth, etc etc, etc..... make...

    Suburbans: GMT800 2500 vs. GMT900 2500 vs. GMT900 "Fancy" (Denali/Escalade)

    I second the gmt400 comment re: 1/2 ton towing. My k1500 97 burb has 4.10 gears behind/ in front of a 4l60e. The secret for me? Religious fluid changes, and towing slow. Without the 4.10s it wouldn't be something I would do. I tow 5000+miles per year, and with trailer brakes I don't...

    What to replace behind the dash

    Now is the time to add any wire grommets and wire through the firewall. You can always use a body plug and pierce it later to route wire. The hard part is the hole.

    Suburban K1500 6.5TD V8 [GMT400] from Poland

    Mounting it anywhere other than the stock location is an improvement. I'm in the 'top of the engine with a great sink' camp. That's where mine lives on my K2500 'burb. This and a remote double oil filter are the only real mechanical mods mine has.

    I agree, I've been lurking on this build since the beginning. Time for an update

    Will 2000 buick regal supercharged seats fit my 98 k3500?

    Practice, Practice, practice. That's how any of us got ok. But the seats you like, and make em fit.

    98 5.7 120,000 miles code p0308

    I had a similar event several years ago. Ran fine, parked it for 14 hours ( overnight) and no start. Trouble shot to the cap and rotor. It was near the ocean, the same air, moisture and a cheap cap had eroded/corroded the internal terminals in just a couple of months. Still never...

    Wheels stick out to far for PA.

    How well that conversation will go if almost entirely up to the variables of both the officer and the driver. I know i could drive that truck and never expect problems, though I know my nephew couldn't make it down the street without an unpleasant roadside conversation. YMMV. That is the...

    Anybody see this before??

    At the speed and amount this truck is getting used, anything done will be OK. Either run it to failure, repair or replacement with any combination of parts.

    Guidance needed for Suburban roof rack install

    Yes I'm familiar with rivnut, I have used them in airplane applications. I would be concerned about moisture entry points while using this method. In AZ or somewhere dry or otherwise unconcerned about water inside a cab, fine,.... in a burb? I wouldn't, but I have an aversion to the smell...

    Anybody see this before??

    'Merica!!!! If you are using that truck just around the property, and plowing the neighbors driveway, run it until it won't move underneath its own power. Go ahead and source a replacement rear end and driveline for when it dies. 'Merica, God bless our freedom!! Keep up the long term field...

    Run AC with a toggle switch?

    I have set it up that way before. One word of advice: use a reply, between the compressor and toggle switch. It makes the switch longer lasting, as the electrical isn't full amperage at the switch. Just remember that as the compressor is running full time, it will begin to freeze up the...

    Guidance needed for Suburban roof rack install

    Old body or new body? If a 99 gmt400, then the advise is,...... don't do it. It's a monumental job to do correctly. 1) You will have to pull the headliner down. 2 ) make a template, hopefully from a gmt400 in a jy. 3) drill holes, 4) ream holes on the inner layer to give access to the...

    Talk some sense into me please.

    I don't know about your boss 6.2, but my 96 6.5 suburban doesn't and has never got crazy mileage. Infact most of the time it's not much better than my 97 and 98 5.7 truck or burb. The extra torque is nice pulling a trailer, the rest of the time is just for the different factor.

    The end all engine fixer....

    Don't know why you have to hate on Marvel mystery oil. I use it in my air tools, just because I like the smell compared to the alternatives. Same goes for Kroil oil. Don't care if it works the same as nock her loose, I use it because work week pay for it and I like the smell. If I was more...

    C notches

    The one on the left has an incomplete weld, with a possible linear crack. Considering that's what I see from a single photo, and that they are painted, further investigation is needed.

    2 key to 1 key converter

    I used that as my plan, until one day the key fob battery was cold and wouldn't open the doors. After about an hour of near panic the key dog fob had warmed up. And unlocked the doors. Now u replace the battery really frequently, would like to even make a custom fob with a larger or...

    Dual batteries

    I have two 97 'burb k1500 5.7 that I have setup as kind of a commercial overland. (Think work van in a 'burb, its low key ) I run a dual battery setup. Isolated in between the batteries, with a 200amp alternator. The second battery is setup for a running my 12volt accessories, such as my...
