    98 burb 4l80e slipping in reverse and occasionally grinding

    I just bought a 98 suburban with the 454 and 4l80e. The transmission can idle in reverse but as soon as you hit the gas it slips. Occasionally it will basically go into neutral and grind like crazy. It doesnt stop until you turn it off for a minute and retry. It starts the grinding when you put...

    Difference between a 2500 HD and 3500 HD ?

    I have a 1988 k2500 tbi that has been giving me some grief lately. The truck starts and idles very well and drives like normal for a few miles then starts acting up.

    2500's can't tow?

    I have a 96 gmc 2500 single cab long bed 5.7 vortec rwd (8lug). I want to tow a Toyota t100 on a trailer. I put this combo on uhauls website and their system tells me it's a no go. But I can put a subarban 1500 or a base Yukon and it's fine. What gives?

    Small Displacement Diesel Swap Options?

    Fred Williams from Dirt Every Day recently did a video reviewing a Quigley 4x4 2500 Express van with the new 2.8 Duramax & 8 speed automatic .
