My new project truck: '99 K2500 Suburban

[Dravec]

Truly a beautiful truck.

Thank you! I friggin love this truck.

Things like this, are why I'm glad my trucks are C models. Though I understand why in upper Texas you need 4x4, been up there enough in winter to know!

I have no REAL need for the K series. But I friggin have this addiction to them.

New master cylinder is in with a bigger reservoir than what Vatozone wanted to give me. Had to search and search to find the dually reservoir. Swapped it onto the master cylinder and got it bench bled as good I could, and installed. Gonna need my buddy to help me bleed the whole system here in a couple of days.

First I've heard of that. Your picture looks about like what I have on my SRW.

It's a thing, consider yourself lucky. Duallies got much larger reservoirs. There may be a SRW RPO that got it too, but the larger calipers and wheel cylinders needed more fluid for sure.

I remember my old K3500 had the larger reservoir, despite being a SRW. I actually ordered this master cylinder as if it was a dually, and it still came with the small reservoir. I had to search and search for the large reservoir. If I remember, I'll post the part number tomorrow or something.

Front end is completely done, other than tightening down the control arm bolts, and the jam nuts for the tie rod adjusters, and finishing the sway bar links.

So. . . did you make it?

Still gotta do the fuel pump. Pretty sure I can be done by Saturday

Got the tank out. I'm kinda mad that everywhere I looked made it sound like it was gonna be crazy hard, which gave me tons of trepidation. So I put this off for months. Well, it took me all of an hour to remove the tank, which included looking for tools and watching YouTube. That was honestly far easier than I was prepared for.
