    Need some help understanding turn signal lever, somethings missing?

    I was just getting ready to share that same link. Specifically pg.42-46-ish. He calls your missing part the "tilt lever housing". My Suburban was missing some of the ball bearings and the sliding pusher piece ("high beam follower"-pg. 44) when I got it. Scavenged what I needed from a buddy's...

    Need some help understanding turn signal lever, somethings missing?

    Yea you're missing part of the column. There should be a cover that hides the metal rod that houses a sliding piece that allows the lever to actuate the high beam rod down to the switch further down the column.

    '87 Q-jet 454?

    So I'm a little confused by some items on my Suburban. It's an '87 R20 454. The spid shows L19 for the engine-TBI 454. The air cleaner shows a ZKY code with what appears to be a Q-jet layout. Currently has Holley Sniper setup. Annnd in another twist- it was originally sold in Maryland, I bought...

    Head versus manifold coolant temps

    My '87 Suburban-87(?) 454 w/ Holley Sniper setup, cast iron intake, Sniper ECT sensor in passenger head- shows 208-212 on the Holley handheld running down the road in warm weather and higher as soon as I shut it off or get in traffic. The factory gauge never gets near the 210 mark. My assumption...

    Waffling

    That is the exact wheel/tire size combo that I put on my Suburban R20. I went with a Discount Tire house brand- Rocky Mountain A/T and am pleased with them so far. I too was concerned with the height(31.6") and wheel offset but no rubbing at all. If you want, I could get a photo of the tight...

    Rear Shock Extenders

    My Suburban is not lowered so no dog in this fight, but I was under the impression that any axle flip/6"/7"/8" rear drop required a C-notch for adequate suspension travel. I think the shock extenders allow you to use stock length shocks on a lowered suspension but still allow the shocks to be...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Swapped out the the non-performing "Delco Performer" shocks for some new Bilstein 4600's. I feel like a shock snob, but it should ride better.

    Home Fabricated Parts

    Final iteration: It snaps on using one tab top and bottom at the air cleaner and holds the 4" Spectre air duct with three tabs in the round opening. My air cleaner is an '87 454 Q-jet tall filter version. The opening is oval about 6" x 3" if I recall correctly. If anyone is interested in having...

    Thanks Huck. Next time I will have to say hi. Nashville superspeedway/Lebanon, TN is about 3-1/2 hours south from me taking two lane roads. Gonna try to attend Southeastern truck nationals next July, maybe C10 Nat's again.

    What did we do before cup holders?

    My Cutlass lacked cup holders as well, and after several years of the plastic hump riders, I built this- It could be better, currently all glued and stapled with no sewing, but functionally it's great. Link to cup inserts that hold can koozie, mid size Gatorade, 32 oz. foam, or 30 oz. stainless...

    Thanks- its had a shoddy paint job sometime, but the underneath is mint. Needs some trim pieces reattached and fifty other little projects.

    Home Fabricated Parts

    The son of my group leader(barely 16y.o.) is 3d printing some stuff. My Suburban doesn't have a fresh air inlet for the air cleaner, so I asked if we could come up with something. This is an early prototype- Missed the offset for the generic 4" hose inlet, but he is building another.

    Don't have one- I spread the love between '97 4Runner, '79 Cutlass, and now the '87 Suburban, about 250-300 miles/week all together.

    C10 Nationals- Nashville

    Thanks. There was mine and another almost identical from Wisconsin, but grey interior. I was parked just east (?- behind the AMD booth) of you along the fence. I would love to have a "cool" truck like yours. Just the tow pig for now.
