    86 Suburban, warwgn's build.

    What Heads are you running. truck heads will not like that much timing. I would think 30-32 total would be all they would like. Also no sense trying to tune with bad plugs and wires. I also like to run a remote coil on HEIs, but if not buy a good AC delco cap, Coil and wires. I have not had any...

    93 chevy spares list?

    I do have a spare ECM. It's easy enough to find a match in the junk yard and test. the coolest thing about these trucks is just how easy it is to buy parts. I can't think of a part yet that the store didn't have in stock and i have never had any issue except for going thru a few steering boxes...

    93 chevy spares list?

    A well maintained truck wouldn't need too many spares. For a 93 i would install a manual front diff lock that would cure any problem you would have with the electric unit. Next i would replace your belt with a new one and throw the old one in the spares. I also like to carry a few spare...

    Driveline Parts Question

    Replace, I have never succeeded in rebuilding calipers. Plus you will find it's not that expensive and you can find them with a life time warranty. I try and buy parts like this from a local parts store like Napa or Car Quest. Example I went thru 3 steering boxes before i got one that worked...

    Driveline Parts Question

    Rear drums that are grabbing can be few things. One the brakes could have been installed wrong, there is a front and back shoe. The second that i have seen is rear axel seal leak causing the shoes to swell-up. A third thing could be the shoes sticking to the back plate.

    Driveline Parts Question

    I will admit i haven't needed to use these guys in about 5 years, but when i did they always did a good job. Drive your truck by there and they should get you the right parts. Plus your supporting a local shop and try to buy USA made parts if you can. http://www.oceansidedriveline.com/

    Hello All. My first post. Here is my simple custom GMC Cube Van conversion.

    I have a good friend that had his custom(home made) RV catch fire while he was asleep inside. While trying to escape several times thru his side door he got 3rd degree burns on his hands, arms and legs. He was lucky that he finally remembered that he had installed in escape hatch in the roof...

    Would really like stock tires!!

    My 89 suburban came stock with 235/75-16s. I put 285/75-16s E-rated tires on it(same rims). didn't notice any braking issue at all. I'm not saying it didn't affect braking just saying i didn't notice. Now on my 2007 jeep i went from the stock tire to 255/85-16s and it made a huge diffrents...

    Would really like stock tires!!

    My dads 93 Z71 came stock with 265s. Personally i would keep the 265. You will be glad you did when you take it out 4wheeling. I don't think you would even notice a difference on the boat dock.

    Tahoe VS Surburban

    If we are talking only about late model LS engine based GM trucks I now need a truck that tows around 7000lbs+. So my vote would be for a 6.0 or 8.1(not LS) 2500 suburban. Gas mileage would not be so much a concern for me. I only drive about 3 miles to work. If I was building a daily driver...
