2nd battery on 1999 Suburban

[jimed43]

Does anyone have the part numbers? For the hold down kit, ground strap and other bits.

Thanks

Doesn't your Suburban already have a tray for the extra battery? Maybe not, I am not sure of the last year available for a diesel. My 1997 has a tray and I just got the hold down from the junkyard. You could probably rob those parts off of an older one. Not sure what it looks like on the drivers side under the hood of a 1999.

Which body style? 92-99, or 99-06?

99. The older square body style.

Here's a pretty good writeup:

Sorry but I had a good chuckle at the word "older" here.

I guess the truth is that it is one of the older body styles these days. I agree with your comment above, the best bet is to hit a parts yard.

Yeah, when I think "square body", I immediately think 73-87. Heck, I still think "NBS" (new body style) means '99-'06 models. Funny how time gets away - the newest redesign will be the 6th gen, if my math is right:
'69-'72
'73-'87
'88-'98
'99-'06
'07-'13
'14-?

Pre 99 you can find a tray in any yard or from gm.

And I think we are closer to 11th gen.
