    ZMBSLYR - My '89 Suburban Expo/BOV

    I don't think it is standard. The locker it called a Gov-lock and is not that strong when compared to other lockers, my rear is the Simi-floating, someday I will upgrade to a Full-floating rear with ARB locker. I with you could get the Western Turbine wheels in 16s

    Suburban help =)

    35s on a 1500 IFS truck will make for an unpleasant experience. You will be in a constant battle with alignment issues and poor ride quality. I wouldn’t go bigger then a 285/75-16 or the much loved EXPO 255/85-16. 255 will fit better with it being so narrow. I wouldn’t lift it more then 1.5 in...

    I think you just might have solved my slight little pull to the right when braking. :sombrero: My Suburban came with the larger brakes, can't remember the code off the top of my head. I should order the 79 calipers?

    1Leg’s 1989 Suburban

    Almost 500miles still running good. No MPG # yet, it seems about the same as before. Today I trimmed the air cleaner base to match the procharger. Installed the MSD coil, wires and cap. 1 issue I have, I'm getting a fuel smell when I'm idling at a light. No fuel leaks that I can find, I'm...

    The 4L80 is a very good trans, it is as strong as th400 but with overdrive. You will want an overdrive trans, the 4L80 will be more $$ to work on.

    1990 k5 Help

    You will get better MPG with the 255s. I think they would fit without any mods. Your truck should have come stock with the 700R4 overdrive automatic transmission. If you replaced it with the th350 and still have it let me know.

    1Leg’s 1989 Suburban

    300 mile update: Well I have 300+ miles on the new engine so far. Almost all the driving has been around town and few trips on the freeway to downtown San Diego for Leg appointments. Starting the engine the first time: Starting the engine the first time was easier than I thought it would be...

    Looking for advice on first truck purchase

    For Suburbans the best one to look for is the 1991 3/4 ton, it will have the overdrive trans, all 1989-91 4x4 only had 350 or 6.2. Get one with the rear cargo doors. I got the tailgate and regret it everytime I go camping. If i was going to start over I would have bought a 89-91 halfton with...

    Looking for advice on first truck purchase

    What do you plan to use the truck for? Off-roading, camping, towing, desert exploring. Will you drive it daily? Can you do most of the repair work yourself? I'm suburban guy myself but iwouldn't buy a 6.2 diesel unless I was planning to do 6.5 turbo or Cummins swap.
