    Diesel cooling fan or a gasser swap?

    My 97 lost some valves, so I'll be swapping in a 383 within the next year or so. Any reason why I cant use my 9 blade fan on the 383? Seems to me it should suck much more air than a normal 5 or 6 blade fan. Thoughts?

    Vent Mode actuator calibration/reset procedure?

    I know that on some of the newer Chevy stuff you can do a procedure to reset the actuators for the Vent Mode Door and Blend Door actuators. Is there a way to do that on a 95? It generally involves pulling the fuse for the HVAC, figured I'd try either way. My Vent Mode door doesnt have full...

    List of Local Tuners/Dataloggers/Broken Down Help near you

    Got the idea for this thread from another forum I used to be on years ago. Didnt see one of these over here, figured I'd give it a shot. Should be a good sticky. Please post in this thread if you have the equipment needed to help others do some datalogging or tuning for our vehicles. List what...

    Jack up engine for long tube headers needed?

    Do I really have to jack the engine up to install long tube headers on my 1995 C2500 Burb? Looking at the install directions and it states I need to jack up the passenger side. Looking down I dont know why I would, thinking maybe it has something to do with 4wd trucks?

    Swims350

    Price was good, packing was bad. Bought a complete distributor from him. Packed it loosely with trash bags and put it in a flimsy canned soda box. Distributor cap was broken on arrival. Only deals in money orders or cash, might be why.

    Which harmonic balancer?

    So, I have an 85 block out of a Chevy Truck that will be going into my 95 Suburban. Not sure exactly the differences are on the harmonic balancers, but they are different. Ideas on which one to use? Thanks

    Hows this for an engine build?

    This is my plan to build an engine for my Suburban as a replacement. The stock motor is still fine, just old, but I want a backup motor with a bit more kick in the pants. My goal is a torque engine, good power, nothing high rev, thinking 5000 max rpm. Messing around with a couple pieces of dyno...

    Can you prime the oil in a block only setup?

    I'm getting a fully rebuilt block from a buddy of mine. It's been sitting for about 5 years and is still in great condition, barely a fleck of rust on any of it. Once I start putting the thing together I know I'll need to rotate the crank for this and that, I'm concerned about scoring the...

    Does the block really matter?

    So I'm starting to piece together an engine I'm building to replace my stock one. Since all I'm looking to do is build a mild 350, does it really matter what block I use? Assuming of course it be a 1995 or earlier. I'll be using ported 193 TBI heads and a ported stock intake. My stock...

    Scrufdog's 95 Burb build thread

    Originally posted this in the other member forum, decided to update and move to this forum. With a family of 5, squeezing growing kids into the extended cab pickup was getting a little tight, so I decided I needed a more family oriented type vehicle. I'd rather jump off a cliff than drive a...

    need help engine id

    All I can see is the number on rear drivers side flange, and I'm confused. I see where it's stamped GM 57, then under that it looks like SGT or SGI , the weird thing is that the suspected S is actually an upside down 5. Any ideas?

    extra hole in tb spacer?

    I don't have a picture handy but if you Google up a Spectre 11253. There is a 4th hole (giggity), that lines up with the idle passage of the tb. Never seen it on any other brand spacer. Doesn't make sense since there is no 4th hole in the manifold. Doesn't seem like it would hurt either...

    Need template for replacing rear a/c expansion valve...

    So, my 1995 Burb needs to have the rear expansion valve replaced. Basically every link I've googled says to refer to a link on alldata for a template to show you where to cut the side of the case to access the valve. The alldata link is dead. Anyone have that template by chance? Or perhaps a...

    Change color of transmission shifter indicator?

    Googled it, couldnt find anything... maybe used the wrong words... anyway I'm going to change the dash bulbs over to blue leds. Seems silly to havew blue gauges and a bright orange shifter light. I wouldnt mind purple though. I thought I saw a tut for this at some point in my life, cant...

    Long tube header install tips?

    Going to be ordering Hooker Long Tube Headers on my 1995 Suburban C2500 5.7 soon. Was wondering if there were any hidden tips I should know while installing them. - Tons of PB Blaster to free the nuts and studs... - Do you have to install from underneath or can they drop in through the top...

    Full Hooker exhaust anyone?

    Looking for my future exhaust system, seems Hooker has everything I need. Headers, dual exhaust, mufflers. Anyone ever install the Hooker dual pipe kit, 16532HKR? Looks pretty good to me. Wondering how well it fits on Suburbans or Long pickups.

    DISadvantages to higher octane fuel?

    Instead of asking if higher octane is better, as the old question goes, I ask this. What are the disadvantages of higher octane fuel? The Burb is designed for 87 octane, but would higher octane have any negative effects? I'd like to know because the grocery store I shop at offers 10 cents...

    OBD1 and a 4 wire O2 sensor

    So I figure I might as well install a 4 wire O2 sensor in the Burb. Better accuracy and faster closed loop for better fuel mileage. The only thing I'm not absolutely sure of is compatibility of the sensor itself. As far as I know they are send the same signal, the only difference is the harnes...

    Anyone ever disassemble an airbag?

    I dont mean take the airbag/horn cover off, I mean take the airbag itself and airbag 'bomb' out of the cover? I've seen some posts on the net of other manufacturers making it quite simple. I havent looked at mine yet, as I just thought of this at work, but from a few pics I've seen on the net of...

    Pass side dash cup holder mods?

    Has anyone done any type of mod to the 2 'cup holders' in the dash to make them... i dunno... actualy hold cups. Kind of annoying that all it takes is running over a grain of sand to make anything in there fall over.
