Hi all,
I've been working on this c2500 7.4 Suburban quite a bit across the summer, so I figured I'd go ahead and start posting some progress along the way. As a first step, the subject in question:
8/30/23
LA
There's some work to be done here but it's in pretty good shape. The truck spent most of its life in Iowa, but wasn't driven much in the winter months (thanks mostly to the 2wd setup I think). Across the past few years it got some decent maintenance like new intake manifold gasket work so it hasn't been ignored either.
So what to do?
- The a/c was relegated to front only. That's not acceptable in Louisiana.
- The compressor was replaced, twice, but is still leaking. HT6 problem there I think.
- Headlights are deeply fogged.
- Front vents don't work
- Radio has lost its nobs, and it would be nice to get an updated unit anyway. For now, I've put a FM Bluetooth unit in so I can connect a phone.
- Running boards need help
- Rims need some help
- I'd like to get a front air dam in place (I kind of like the look of them on the 4x4s with tow hooks)
- Tow mirrors needed, I'd like to put this to work on our 24' Hi-Lo that I've restored
So I'll get this thread going and post some pictures of progress. A shot of the headlights is below for reference.
