I'm Awesome
I've been running a combination of centric stoptech slotted rotors and NAPA select One brake pads on my K2500 Suburban and I'm pretty impressed. The pads have a low dust compound on the outside and a more agressive compound on the inside.
It doesn't stop as well as my wife's Grand Cherokee that weighs almost half with the same size brakes but I can make everything in the back slide forward if I have to panic stop....

I'm hoping that after the cross drilled/slotted rotors, and eventually braided steel brake lines and a rear disc conversion my truck will stop on a dime. The hydroboost helps, but there's always room for improvement when it comes to braking.
------------------------
So I've been kicking around ideas of what I'd like to get done to the truck hopefully by mid summer; starting with the front end rebuild starting with hubs and rotors, then onto all the steering gear. Then move onto reworking some of the interior, deep cleaning it and making it nice again; upgrade speakers, add sound deadener, fix the power locks, add a DIC, and a bunch of other hodge-podge **** to make the interior nicer.
I'd like to add a few power adders, starting with an 0411 (I have to get a hold of Lextech to get a computer), a set of shorty headers (trying to decide which ones, will TBI headers work on Vortec heads?) possibly a full new exhaust, a shift kit in the trans, as well as a few other nit-picky things like a sealed CAI, deep pans for the trans and rear end, new fluid everywhere it needs it, maybe a bigger TB, and beefing up the ignition system.
I know I've
There's a few other things I'm trying to research too; one of them is a Walbro fuel pump, on a scale of 1 to "I'm gonna burn this ****** to the ground" how hard is it to install a pump/sender in the stock pump housing?
I know I've been over a lot of this **** before, but I always come up with different ideas as to what route I'd like to go with this truck; I can never seem to make up my mind with some of it.
