    D70HD brake shoe width?

    From a bit of searching, seems the DRW D70 I’m refreshing for the wife’s Burban SHOULD have 13x3.5in shoes? Doing some shady measuring (tape measure went MIA, used a 100ft flex tape) I’m getting a width that’s closer to 3in? (2 7/8 wide) What do I have here? Figured I’d ask before I yard a...

    D70 spindle nut socket?

    Finally getting around to tearing down the D70 that’ll be going under the wife’s Burb. What am I looking at here? Need a socket for the spindle nuts (unless I wanna chisel it off) but this is a new one for me, with the round tabs. Only thing like it I’ve found is from Torque King, or do you...

    Starter dropping out early?

    1984 C10 6.2 with a 700R4. Newish to me truck almost left me waiting on a tow truck at work tonight. Still working through it, so haven't spent much time under it, but thinking I might have a starter issue. Never had one do this. It'd catch and crank, for maybe 1 second.... then drop out. A...

    Brake System ID

    So I did some searching and reading, what a headache, but MAYBE I've got it? I'd like someone familiar with these to confirm. 1984 C10 6.2 diesel, J55 RPO code, GVW labeled as 6100lbs, Has Hydroboost. I'm thinking it's a JD5? Knowing that doesn't answer all my questions, but I think I got...

    700R4 Hard/Delayed 1-2 shift

    1984 C10, 6.2 Diesel. New to me truck, and the trans and TC were replaced by the previous owner after the original trans gave up. (He said the replacement was out of like a '90 Burb) So..... start out under moderate throttle/normal acceleration, seems to wanna stay in first for a WHILE, that...

    Lifted Dually Suburban wheels/tires?

    The wife has taken the leap, she ordered fenders today (from Hannemann Fiberglass. Curious to see what those look like) so it looks like her dream of a Dually Suburban just landed on my to-do list. :banghead: She was looking at adapter kits too, talking to a gal at Arrowcraft. I got home from...

    Heater Blower intermittent?

    The heater fan in the wife's Burb ('89 V2500) has been acting up, and not in a simple way. Some days it's fine. Most days it won't run on any setting, but just when she first gets in the truck. It'll usually suddenly start working 5-10min down the road, or suddenly works just fine (on all fan...

    '89 Burb V2500 JB7 Different Pad Options?

    So I kinda want to go throw parts at the counter guys at my local Napa. Had my wife call to order parts, tell her I want rotors, wheel studs, bearing seals and brake pads. (Getting ready to yank the hubs, pack bearings, generally look everything over on a "new to us" truck, and install a new...

    Barn door won't latch fully...

    ..... without slamming the thing. Similar to how the other doors react when the strikers wear out. (Fixed those already) Left side barn door latches just fine, but the right, if you don't slam it, it won't latch fully and will rattle. Is this just an adjustment of the striker bolted to the body...

    New Guy with the wife's Burban

    The wife had a hankering for something "beastly". With three kids, coaching one kids soccer team.....well, a Suburban is kinda THE thing. (She threatens divorce when minivans are mentioned). She had a newer Burb ('04) that she HATED..... but she seems in love with this new beast, but then she...
