    Rear AC cover in 88 suburban

    Thanks yevgenievich., I will be working on it again this week to get the cover installed. The local upholstery company that I had redo the headliner did not cut the fabric away for the mounting screws on the outside edge. I had to cut that away to make the screws fit. In the mean time I...

    Rear AC cover in 88 suburban

    Well I finally pulled the trigger and got my headliner redone in the suburban. While it was down I cleaned the interior of the roof and installed a sound deading mat and some thermal backing as well. Everything turned out really well until I went to install the large cover that goes over the...

    Love affair that started 25 years ago

    It is a 4wd. I know that the abbreviations changed from the C/K to the V/R when talking about 2wd vs 4wd. I will do some more reading on here and verify that! Snoots, after a big snow I just shovel out my front door until I can find it. That or just look to see where the dog peed when I let...
