Warn 4x4 hubs on top of hub caps?
That doesn't sound right at all. The Warn hubs should be the same diameter as the OE hubs. If your hub caps are factory original, they should have a little room. They should not fit perfectly flush around the hub like your pic shows. Are those aftermarket hub caps? You cannot have a...- Redfish

Should i fix the TBI or go to carb? And what's this wire?
We know you are trying to help. I know I appreciate the useful information and I am not even doing the job. I personally get frustrated often when I find myself repeating over and over what someone NEEDS to do in a troubleshooting thread and the entire time they are ignoring my advice...- Redfish

Should i fix the TBI or go to carb? And what's this wire?
When you have a whole bunch of folks giving a whole bunch of advice and it doesn't all match it's pretty difficult to follow all of that advice. Everyone here has the very best of intentions, everyone wants Ayden to Do What They Recommend. We all like him, we all want to help him. Maybe try...- Redfish

Fool me once…..
One problem with posting on a forum is that the person reading what you type cannot see your facial expression and cannot hear your tone of voice. Something typed can carry a meaning completely different from what the poster meant to say. For my part I did not want "the juicy details", I was...- Redfish

Fool me once…..
You posted this on the internet. You gave one side of the story and only part of it. If you didn't want to share it, why did you post it at all? Honestly, it was never my intention to cause any irritation. You said you wanted to help the guy out. Sorry you are so irritated, sorry this evil...- Redfish

Fool me once…..
I dunno...maybe this line right here from your opening post? "It looks so bad I honestly feel sorry for the guy. I wanted to tell him not to throw away those calculus and material design books just yet." You posted pics and complained but you didn't share any positive interactions with the...- Redfish

Fuel injection emblem?
Is this the emblem? I need to get a new one for if/when I ever repaint this thing. -
Fool me once…..
If you don't tell the man he messed up, he won't know he messed up. If you cared enough to send him your business to "help him get started" why not care enough to give him some positive feedback to help him get better? Done respectfully, a teachable moment can make a LOT of difference.- Redfish

Should i fix the TBI or go to carb? And what's this wire?
I would suspect that it may take a little longer to start. The starter would have to spin the engine long enough to build enough oil pressure to make the switch contacts close. I honestly don't know what that pressure is. When I turn the key to "On" I can hear the fuel pump run, I let it...- Redfish

The original TBI does use an oil pressure switch as part of the electric fuel pump circuit but it is only a backup. It is there to allow the engine to get fuel even if the primary circuit fails.- Redfish

Holy Grail of Squarebodys
I cannot get rid of the tool box. I never had one before but I use that one far too much. And I have too many folks with classic vehicles that expect me to have that toolbox at events. I sure would like to have a set of the original like you show in that pic, possible cut down in length to...- Redfish

1987 Suburban Silverado Sun visor 4WD instructions decal available??
I sort of doubt it...FYI that sticker is not unique to the Suburban. I have the same sticker on the sun visor of my '87 V1500. -
Holy Grail of Squarebodys
That sounds like a Dumb Idea. Who would do such a thing? Honestly, mine was done like this when I bought it. I have to Do Something about my rails, they look awful but I feel like the truck needs them to stay. Any thoughts @FireTruck1984 ?- Redfish

Wheel/Tire Opinion
If you are going to keep your original wheels (and I encourage you to do that! They look great!) the 255/70R15 that @bucket recommended might be exactly what you need. I will "argue" with bucket that the 255/70 is slightly taller than the 235/75...but we are talking a total of 4.5mm. That is...- Redfish

Wheel/Tire Opinion
What exactly are you asking here? Are you looking for new wheels? Or just looking to get a wider tire? A tire that is wider but not taller? I think you are asking for a wider tire that is close to the same height. If that is your question, it may help you to know what those numbers actually...- Redfish

Cup Holder Options
It's gonna be close. My transfer case shifter works under the LMC Truck version but it is close. I don't think it would fit under the LS Fab which sits lower. I cannot say for sure. -

While I was really hoping you would get this fixed...I know exactly where the original air filter housing, the plastic snorkel and any vacuum hoses associated with the EGR valve need to go. ;)- Redfish

Cup Holder Options
Why you gotta be hatin' on the hook? I completely agree with you, the hook is NOT the way to go. I like the LMC cupholder but it won't accommodate a Yeti or HydroFlask. It won't even hold some of the 16 ounce plastic bottles. I have just popped the plastic insert out to make it hold a... -
Cup Holder Options
I looked at that cup holder very seriously but I was worried about the safety of it. My son has to sit in the middle when we have a third person and that middle seatbelt is only a lap belt. I worry about the absence of modern safety features already, having a stainless steel blade to cut into... -
Should i fix the TBI or go to carb? And what's this wire?
It just seems to me that if it is the ECM, that would be an easier and cheaper fix than modifying the fuel system. I feel like you have the skill set, the tools and the tenacity to get that thing running like it was designed. I was determined that if I could find a TBI 350 I would make it...- Redfish

What have you done to your square lately??
I have to disagree with your research on this one. My '87 has its original TBI 350 and it is almost exactly like your pic. No option for the mechanical fuel pump. I do have more bolt holes than your pic shows. -
What have you done to your square lately??
It's funny to me that we always want Something Different. The more commonplace a classic vehicle is, the lower its value. Something rare, something different is almost always worth more. When I was at Cruisin the Coast probably 98% of the 2WD squares were lowered. Lowered C10s were so... -
What did you pay for a square
@carfanatic63 what is this on the left side of this pic? That is a very 1980ish seat... I almost see some GL1000 looking reflection in the side of the beautiful black rear fender.- Redfish

What have you done to your square lately??
I used it to drag my little trailer to pick up a few boards for my Dad. Pop doesn't say much about the Old Truck but he gets in it every time and rides along. I am not sure he understands how much attention it gets. At the lumber yard folks kept coming over to ask about it. I almost ran over...
