    Still researching - some GM specific questions: GMT 800 platform vs. 900?

    I can only share my experience with our 2002 Suburban 2500 4x4 8.1 V8. We purchased it used in 2011 with 115k on the clock for 5k. It was a beast of a vehicle but reliable. MPG was 10 mpg highway or city and it drank fuel. When we got it, it needed new shocks, and new front end IFS parts. I...

    "Detailing" prior to sale: Have you done it? Worth the $$?

    Check out groupon. I used a detailer out of Parker, CO two years ago and I paid 150 for a suburban and it was a groupon deal.

    Best value Suburban as an all arounder

    I'm with wrench monkey on this, my 2002 Burb with 8.1 would get 10 mpg regularly but never better than that. I actually sold it last year for more than I paid for it and got my wife a New TDI sportwagen for the family. The price in gas of a 100 a week in fuel for 3/4 a tank covered a new car...

    Brandy's 2012 JKUR Build

    Great build. I've been without a rig for a few years after selling my 80, and am just on the brink of getting a new rig, looking at this thread a couple of others, I think the JKU may be the perfect for my family of four (2 kids, 6 and 3, my wife and I). Thanks for sharing!

    Anyone using a VW Touareg

    We bought my wife a 2014 Sportwagen TDI this past May and it's been great. It's our third VW and it does seem a lot better built than previous generations. I have had some seat time in the new Touraeg and love them, but at $50k I'm going to lean toward a 3/4 or 1 ton crew cab diesel, better...

    JK Unlimited Expedition Build

    Great build. I'll be in the market for a new vehicle this spring and trying to decide between a JKU, 4runner Trail or a 100 LC. These JKU builds keep swaying me in the Jeep direction.

    So there i was and BAAAM I bought myself a new (to me) Powerstroke!

    Congrats man. Stay safe over in A-Stan so you can get back and drive that thing. A diesel f250 is going to find her way into my drive by next spring. I've entertained LR4s, Land Cruisers and even the VW Touraeg (not for off road) but that F250 will do everything that I want. Now just need to...

    Virgin Mobile launches $30 iPhone plan

    I have an AT&T iPhone 4 and while I get a 20% discount it's still right around 165 a month for two phones. My brother works at sprint and I could be on his plan for 60 bucks a month and save about 25 a month but then I compared data speeds between his iPhone 4s and my iPhone 4 and it's...

    New To Me Family Land Yacht - 2002 Suburban 2500

    I finally heard back from the guy with the PDF. Looks straight forward. I got the iron and shrink wrap and now just need the resistors and wire. What kind I wire should I use and where can I get it from? Any ideas? If anyone needs the PDF of how to bypass the auto ride let me know and I'll...

    Off road upgrades

    Short hijack. I have a 02 3/4 ton suburban that tips the scales at I believe close to 8k. Based upon this a 12000 would work for my rig, correct?

    Truck guns?

    Those are great guns. I recently parted with an Arsenal Sgl 31 in 5.45. I am now looking for a 7.62 rifle. Really considering picking up a couple of the saiga rifles to have converted.

    post your Suburban pics

    Sounds like my 2002 2500 Project. I just got done doing all of the tie rods,two front hubs, a new exhaust, new fuel pump and filter, full tune up. Now I need a new water pump and a steering box. Then service the tranny, transfer and diffs and she should be good to go for a while.
