    Help! 1991 Suburban cuts out suddenly, immediately restarts. Tried everything.

    I know this sounds very basic, but shortly after I bought it, my Suburban would intermittently shut off for half a second. The Holley Sniper readout and trailer brake screen would blink and the truck would stumble. After some poking around I found the HOT wire to the starter was loose at the...

    Questions about JB7 Brakes

    Reviving an old thread instead of starting my own since my "JB7" search led me here. I bought my '87 Suburban R20/8600 gvw in August of 2024. It has always pulled left during any sort of braking. Steering and tire wear seemed to be reasonable so I attributed it to a brake issue. After much...

    Twitchy steering with a big travel trailer (rear sway bar help?)

    Update on my towing complaints- We took our first camping trip of this year last weekend to Pennyrile Forest State park in KY. about 75 miles from home. While I was checking tire pressures prior to leaving I noticed one of my rear tires was P-metric rated not the LT/E1 load rated/10 ply...

    Found a mystery rod in my motor

    Should have a little nylon clip on the bottom "tongue" in your pic that keeps it from pulling out when you pull the distributor. It has a ring on the inside that clips into the groove on the shaft and the oil pump.

    4l80e conversion in 1985 suburban. What parts do I need?

    Nope-not happening. I would trust any of you yayhoos before the terminator interweb tool. I would rather struggle through blindfolded. No offense.

    Twitchy steering with a big travel trailer (rear sway bar help?)

    I've been watching this thread since it started, kinda letting it "air out" before I chimed in. My Suburban is a 1987 R20, 8600gvwr, towing a 21' camper weighing in at 3900-ish lbs. dry weight. Where I live it is the windiest mid-day, the time of course when we prefer to be towing :). I don't...

    Let’s see your memorabilia?!

    Picked up another useless trinket today: 18"x24" , beat up, overspray, but looks okay in photos. Looks like house paint overspray on the edges. Any suggestions on how to clean the anodized and painted areas on top of the anodizing without damaging either?

    Tire/wheel recommendations

    I know this has been shared on the forum previously, but I really think it helps visualize what's going on with different sizes/offsets/gear ratios/etc. https://tiresize.com/wheel-offset-calculator/ May not be EXACTLY right but will give you something to start with.

    Has anyone bought the Summit Racing AlumaRally Wheels 17s?

    Did you see this thread about the Vision version? https://www.gmsquarebody.com/threads/k5-k10-17x8-or-17x9-vision-cheyenne-aluminum-rally-wheels.45776/ Pretty sure they're the same wheels...

    1987 Fresh Air Intake

    Measurements as promised, just several days late- looks like about 3-3/8"x8-1/4" on my air cleaner opening.

    1987 Fresh Air Intake

    My air cleaner is a '87 big block version and I suspect the opening is different from the 350 version, but I can take some measurements this evening to compare.
