    Need more advise from the Forum! 1991 Dodge Cummins

    Well, I got the truck picked up this weekend, it was not near as bad as I thought: put new master cylinder in it and as I was laying underneath to bleed the bakes found that the abs valve was bypassing. Found online that this is a common problem, so a couple fittings later, no abs or brake...

    Need more advise from the Forum! 1991 Dodge Cummins

    Well, paid for the truck today, it will arrive here in two weeks as a buddy is bringing it out to me. He's doing an overhead on it and hauling the three hours up here for me. Next thing will be fixing the brake system since the idiot that owned it put mineral oil or hydraulic oil in brake...

    Need more advise from the Forum! 1991 Dodge Cummins

    I dont have it yet, but trust me, the deal is done, and it is safe and sound. I am going to plan on a complete brake job as some idiot put mineral oil in the brakes, that is the only thing keeping it from running right now. Also planning on make a dual battery try and putting two batteries in...

    You guys have never steered me wrong yet, so here is another one... I found this a couple weeks ago, it is owned by a trusted friend, who just happens to be a Certified Cummins Mechanic, albeit, he usually works on big trucks... It's a 1991 (build date of 3/91) W250 Power Ram LE with the 5.9...

    Want to show off my toy... 2001 Suburban

    There is actually quite a story for the bumpers, we have a local website similliar to Craigslist. I was searching there one day and found an ad for a guy who just bought a pickup with ranch hand bumpers on it and he didnt like them, he wanted the factory ones. I call him and he says he hates...

    CHEVROLET/GMC full-size Ham CB GPS setup (PICS)

    Here is mine... I changed over to the newer console in my suburban but you get the point. The faceplates from places like Jotto Desk, Havis Shield or Troy will work in your console. In my wife's 2001 Tahoe, I used a Alinco DR-605T dual band. It fits EXACTLY in the spot where the factory...

    Want to show off my toy... 2001 Suburban

    If you have a 2001 to 2003 all you need is the cluster with the gauge in it. change out the clusters and you will have a working trans temp gauge, the ECM already monitors it and everything is in place. If you have a 2003 to 2006 I think you can add the gauge but I think you have to have it...

    Want to show off my toy... 2001 Suburban

    Yes, I had to swap the whole cluster from the 2500 over, not just the overlay and the gauge motor. I then had to have the cluster reprogrammed to get the correct mileage which was a $150 bill at gm. I could have kept the original miles off the cluster, which was 240k, but I wanted to keep...

    Want to show off my toy... 2001 Suburban

    Hey everyone, Last February, I asked you guys to help me decide to trade my 1991 suburban for this 2001. Well, I made the trade, and I've been playing with it ever since. I just did the lift this week, and am very happy with it, so I want to show it off! The basics: 2001 Suburban 1/2 ton...

    '99 Suburban 1/2 ton 4x4 6 bolt to 8 bolt conversion???

    I am curious to know if the Unit Bearings between a 1500 6 bolt and a 1500HD 8 bolt are the same? I am looking at changing out rear ends, and have found a rear end out of a 1500HD pickup that has 8 bolts, and I wonder if I can change out the front ends easily... THanks

    Help me decide whether to trade or not to trade...

    I can see both points, and to be honest, I love my old Burb, That is mostly why I went with this truck when I bought it, it was cheap ($800) and I can work on it. I got to try that out quickly after I bought it since the water pump took a dump, then the fuel pump locked up which in turn smoked...
