    New Square Jimmy owner, starts with the floors

    Sounds like lots of fun. My K5 was similar and that the floor was so rusted out the seats were falling in and it had no rockers. Lots of creativity and CAD work to make new panels. Using an 84 standard cab for the rockers and panels made things a little more difficult because the floors aren't...

    All time 4x4 / NP203 Truck Questions, hard to make tight turns

    My 78 k5 did the same thing. Eventually the case will slip as long as it's not in loc, its a 203 thing. Best conversion kit is one that includes a 205. A 208 will work too. I swapped selectable hubs on and went that route as opposed to getting into the transfer case since I'll be swapping it at...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Got my new manifolds in, welded my exhaust back in and installed my transfer case with a newly swapped 32 spline input. This 700 to 400 swap its going way easier then I thought. Put new holes in the 400s crossmember. Other than that everything bolted right in. Didn't even have to adjust my...

    Vacuum issues

    On my 91 that splitter you're talking about has a line to cruise control, to the round ball you're talking about, a white hard plastic line that disappears into the firewall right above the passenger side valve cover, and one that runs down to the top of the intake behind the throttle body. No...

    Let's see those 4x4 Squares On Dirt!

    Lots of firsts on this trip. First dedicated camping/wheeling trip, first time it's been in four-wheel drive even since before I swapped the 60 in, and it hasn't driven further than 30 minutes from my house. So I did the right thing and tested nothing and packed up and drove 5 hours away to go...

    Dash brake light flashing

    My 91 burb just started having the brake light on the dash blink. Long flash followed by 3 short, or 3 short followed by 1 long I don't know which. Drives fine, seems to brake fine. Did a little bit of research and have some kind of rwal system may be acting up? Anyone familiar? Same old issue...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Installed a license plate light from vatozone. Didn't want to drill any new holes in the bumper so this one because it uses the holes for the plate. Very wimpy wire- check. 8 feet of said wire included- check. Chrome- check. Plastic- check. Too bright- also check.

    Modified transfer case question 83 K10

    Was just gonna say this. @Michigan K10 whats on the tag? Doesnt look like my 241 in my 91. It does kind of look like a flipped over version of my drivers drop 241 that was bolted behind a 4l80 in a GMT 400. Its definitely had some work done. You've got my interest peaked.

    Soften the ride.

    Besides the springs check to make sure that your spring eye bolts weren't over tightened too. Seen it happen. Rode like a pogo stick.

    New Squarebody Guy NJ

    Welcome from the great north wet. Nice low miles on that 87. As far as tips, take good care of suburban specific parts. Some parts are unobtainium so check on how hard or expensive certain things are to replace before ripping it out or possibly destroying upon removal. Highly recommend...

    Help me decipher what lift I have...

    I measured from the top of my spring pad to the bottom of the bump stop bracket so as to eliminate a difference in the spring pad height. My dana 60 has spring pads that are are taller off of the axle tube then a 1/2 or 3/4 ton.

    Help me decipher what lift I have...

    My suburban has 6" tuff country hd lift springs on it and I get 12" from top of spring pads to bottom of bumpstop bracket. There's lots of variables though. Mine is a small block, full winch bumper, winch with steel cable, small radiator, single battery and pretty worn spring eye bushings. All...

    2nd or 3rd what @nvrenuf said. I did it in my 78 k5 with the 203.

    Oh yes. The rabbit hole. Project creep is real.. I knew the 'while I'm here' monster was going to get me so I planned for new from the get go but damn! $ I put a super light coat of grease on the slides. I wonder if I was the one you saw use a come a long on the kingpin removal? In case...

    Best jacking methods and tools to remove wheel for offroad purposes?

    Now I feel stupid, this is the one I carry lol. My old man passed it down. He got it because some tire shop wouldn't change one of his split rims on his motorhome so he stopped at Sears and bought this 30 years ago ish.

    Simple oil change today. I went to do it recently but the stores didn't have a Wix filter so I waited.

    91 Suburban Shopping Category

    I'll second or third or fourth or whatever it is the comments made here. Part of the battle is just knowing there is one. I have a 91 Suburban and go through the same BS. Just take your time when you're looking at parts. Some stuff I can look for 73 and up, some 87, some stuff is 89-91...

    Good enough or perfection

    Enjoy driving it. Everything that I've attempted to make perfect I don't want to actually use. In the end whatever leaves you with the biggest smile. Smiles per mile is how I measure.

    Spark plug debate: CR43TS 44s or 45s in 1989 350

    I run what Ricko1966 suggested. I ran 45s in a couple of cylinders that were getting oil soaked when I first started driving it. After driving it for maybe 500 miles I went back to the 43s. No issues Edit: this is on a bone stock 91 Suburban TBI 350
