    Overlandtowater’s solid axle suburban

    Heres the pics. First is the suburban, second is the from filler, third is into secondary tank, fourth is out of secondary tank, fifth is into main tank. The 6th is the secondary tank. Every single 2500 suburban Ive looked at is set up this way. The perspective sucks but I was laying on my back...

    Overlandtowater’s solid axle suburban

    Well the one sitting in my driveway is gravity fed. The filler goes from the quarter panel into the small tank and then theres another 2" line going from the bottom edge of the little tank into the top edge of the main tank. Since there is only one fill on a suburban how do you fill the main...

    Overlandtowater’s solid axle suburban

    Why is the spare tank a unicorn? It comes stock on every gmt800 2500 suburban. Both 6.0s and 8.1s have them. Thats why all 2500s have the same larger fuel capacity than the 1500s. Go find one at a salvage yard or order one off of rockauto. For the record they are gravity transfer. There is no...

    Hey Vortec Guys! / Sierra pickup / Suburban / Yukon etc - Finally has Index!

    Rayra you said something before about the 2500 torsion crossmember mounts so I went and looked at mine. Unfortunately i didnt check the picture before i crawled back out from under the sub and it didnt come out real well. Ill try and get one when it drys out. The 2500 mounting is completely...

    My 1990 Chevy K1500

    I understand if I had a project like that I wouldnt even consider a 4l60. Theyre fine for a grocery getter, maybe a fire road blaster or even a peformance car thats going to see brief high power demands. If its going to see any kind of real offroad, or towing its got to be a th400, 4l80-5e, or...

    Hey Vortec Guys! / Sierra pickup / Suburban / Yukon etc - Finally has Index!

    I thought one of the pictures showing rivets in the mount was yours but I was wrong. However looking at your pics it looks like there is the mount ring and then another metal ring surrounding the bushing. Even if there isnt. The bushing should just be a slip fit like the control arm bushings...

    Hey Vortec Guys! / Sierra pickup / Suburban / Yukon etc - Finally has Index!

    Why dont you use a press to press to replace the crossmember bushings? Cut or press the old bushing out of the housing on the frame (careful with the housing) and cut the housing away from the new bushing. Then use something like a balljoint press to press in the new one. I can see the three...

    GMT400 vs GMT800 Suburban

    Its possible for the smaller tires. Ive been looking for new 33sx16s and it seems like theres more options for less money for the 17s. Nice buy on the burb. I would have grabbed it too, for $5k. We still need more pics.

    GMT400 vs GMT800 Suburban

    Awesome! Need more pics! Keep it clean it up and run it. Keep the 17" wheels. Tires are cheaper and easier to find these days for 17s over 15s or even 16s. How many miles? Barn doors? If you dont mind where abouts (tx?) and how much(pm if you dont want to announce it)? Always curious as to what...

    Here is How the 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD Delivers the Torque to the Ground

    That thing is hideous. Ive driven GM trucks (1 dodge) for 30 years and that would stop me buying another. Why is it the new fords get better looking and GMs just get cartoonish?

    GMT400 vs GMT800 Suburban

    If anyone is looking for a 2500 burb 454 I found this trolling the local CL. https://mcallen.craigslist.org/cto/6809154701.html Looks clean but dont know the mileage.

    Dry fire for improving shooting accuracy

    Lighten up, he was making a joke. Seriously you have a (commie) caliber as your username like youre some awesome gunslinger and youre calling other people out? For those wanting real practice, take an empty piece of brass and balance it on the end of the barrel. Youll know your trigger pull is...

    GMT-800 Yukon Xl Skid Plates

    To answer the OPs question. I believe the 2500 has one or two skid plates the 1500 doesnt. You may also look for 96-99 2500 burbs or p/u. My 99 ccsb 2500 has some skids my burb doesnt. They may work with a little modification. Other than that you will have to have them fabbed or DIY. I would...

    Small Focus based unibody Ford truck coming?

    The old dodge rampage is maybe a better resemblance. It may be a ford courier. If I see one today Ill get a pic.

    Small Focus based unibody Ford truck coming?

    I think they already make the focus sized pickup for the global market. I see a lot of little ford pickups that look similar to your pictures running around down here in S TX with mexican tags on them. Ill try and grab a pic of one. Of course I see a lot of toyota hilux diesels and newer old...

    Tow Package Removal?

    Its the electric brake controller. Shouldnt be too hard to remove if its an external mount. Slightly more difficult if its a factory in dash mount. From memory theres a couple of power wires, ground wire, brake switch wire. One power wire (red 12ga) will (or should) go to the battery or a power...
