Air helper bags for towing
I have the Ride-Rite helpers on my burb, along with an ARB pump. I can't comment on whether or not they would work for your needs, but they have allowed me to carry 3500# loads with ease. I installed the bags around 2005 and they still work fine. I did go through a few cheap air pumps before the...- skysurfer

What new tools have you got lately?
Saw this sitting on a garbage can while driving home. I don’t need it but at that price I couldn’t let it go. Other than the lid being a little sun faded it’s in good shape. Measures 20.5”x 12”h x 9”d. I’ll put it on Craigslist for $30 and see if I get any nibbles. -
What have you done to your square lately??
Took it in for the dreaded biennial California smog test. Prep is just filling it with premium gas and installing the catalytic converter I keep on the shelf. I've mentioned before that the aftermarket cats don't last very long, so I have one with flanges welded to it that bolts on in a few... -
What new tools have you got lately?
Pulled the trigger on a couple of things I've wanted for a while. Got the beam addition for my Daytona jack. Better support for lifting the unibody cars along with some rubber pinch-weld protector pucks. Finally bought a nice set of drill bits, Norseman fractional and numbered sets from... -

What new tools have you got lately?
Picked up a Makita 3/8 corded drill to add to the collection. It will replace the Skil I've had for decades (it's made in the USA so that should tell you it's pretty old.) Haven't used it yet, but I've already replaced the 8 foot- 18 awg cord the Makita came with by installing a 19 foot-16 awg... -
Suburban leaf spring choice - sagging rear - question on stock ride height
GM Heritage lists an overall height of 73.8" for the op's vehicle but doesn't say where on the roof line that measurement was taken. A useless number considering even non-stock tire size will affect the results.- skysurfer

Bowtie 2500 Fender Emblems
I have the two emblems from my ‘89 Suburban. They are oem and in good condition. They were removed for paint and never reinstalled. They still have the clip nubs on the back but they could be cut off to simplify installation with tape/glue. A flat rate padded envelope is about $10 so that’s what... -
Any black two tone trucks out there?
My long-gone ‘84 Scotty. Kinda wish I still had it, but didn’t like the 305 700r4 powertrain. -
Free Rear Bumper for your Chevy/GMC with Steelcraft Front Purchase

What new tools have you got lately?
I’ve been thinking about a new 1/4” ratchet for a while and HF emailed a 20% coupon for Icon tools so I picked one up. I chose the swivel head version after looking at the different models on the shelf and it feels pretty slick compared to my old Craftsman ratchet. I’ll keep the Craftsman... -
R12 Replacement
My buddy has been the owner of a HVAC business for thirty years and recharged his ‘90 burb’s r12 system with r409. It’s not certified for auto ac, but is a suitable replacement for r12 in commercial low-temp equipment. It was MUCH colder than r134 and you could see visible frost blowing out of... -
Should my TBI's fuel pressure act like this?
Figured it was easier to film it than explain in text. Engine was cold but had been started a minute earlier while I tried to get the correct lighting. Gauge is attached to an Aeromotive 13301 regulator and supplied by a Walbro pump.- skysurfer
