Sorry for the delay in responding. Keeping in mind mine was a TBI 5.7L.... I put an Edelbrock Performer intake on it, Edelbrock cam with new lifters, new roller timing chains, thing had good compression... made zero difference. I was really disappointed in the engine lack of performance... my...

4.88's were totally awesome offroad. Truck would inch down steep inclines... never used the brakes and had plenty of time to scout my patch with the slow speed. As for towing, I had the Throttle body injection... older than the vortec.. and had a very short torque window. So for me the 4.56's...

Hey folks... was out of town for a few days... thx for the responses. Regarding airbags... I have kids aged 5, 8 & 10... none of them can ride in the front passenger seat in Canada if there is an airbag... until they are 12 years old. So a 4 seater with 4 of us on the road (mom doesn't ride in...

Thanks for the info... didn't think on the airbags... good point... don't want airbags. Do you need to register on zukiworld.com to see the photos? I don't see any photos on the build thread you linked. Thx

Hello Zuki Folks! I've had the gas guzzling V8 beasts over the years... My Grand Cherokee My Suburban I wanted something that will not break the bank every time I head down the road to do some exploring. So I tried to go small... My Sidekick 2dr... But the 2dr Sidekick was just too small to...

Love those white wheels... can you tell me more about them? Nice rig!

thanks... we enjoyed this truck... Was sold a little over a year ago... new owners are really enjoying it... still being put to the use it was built for!

Posilock Perm lock was removed as my front t-case bearing is growling... and was insane to listen to. I switched back to the thermal actuator for now and have a t-case rebuild kit waiting to go in. I will likely switch to the selectable version though... helps when pulling our trailer in and...

Can't give you numbers as I never bother with that as it would just be an ugly number!! haha... All I know is a 1/2hr drive down the highway used to see a major change in the fuel gauge... but now it doesn't move!! To me, that's a great improvement!!

No idea how to delete that one attachment file... oh well.

Okay... did some work on the truck back in February... time to put a report together!! The pile of goodies... Installed: - Edelbrock Performer TBI intake - Edelbrock Performer TBI cam & lifter kit - Edelbrock True Roller timing chain & sprockets - Waterpump - misc gaskets along the way First...

Had my new OEM aux battery tray sitting around for 4 months now... finally installed it today and had to do some custom work to remount the EVAP canister. Now to get another battery an wire it all up. Lame Blackberry photos:

Not a chance... no need to be so sideways in time and $ invested. My 5.7L works good enough... if I want more power and diesel, I'd consider an Excursion one day. It's a 4L60E... and I rebuilt it with some minor upgrades.

We previously had a 96 Suburban K2500, 7.4L Vortec, 4x4.... only problem was that it had no guts. Seriously, I went through that thing top to bottom and everything was working to specs.... just didn't pull. I've heard that was a smog problem on those. It wasn't used for exploring at all, just...

That's me... I've had my Relocators for almost a year... no problems at all. I don't get out every weekend by any means... but I've been going anywhere all the Jeepers & Yota boys are going if my truck is narrow enough to fit. 93 Suburban K1500, 5.7L, 4L60E, NP241 Stock IFS geared to 4.88 14B...
