    Planning my Suburban build - Advice wanted

    Thank you! I almost hate to hack it up and lose the original look... I spent a lot of time on the body and having it painted. But if I don't do something like this to it, I'm probably just gonna sell it and buy another old beater to fix up with the funds. So I might as well keep it and play with...

    Planning my Suburban build - Advice wanted

    Yeah, I may end up going with the mechanical steering, I’m just an old farm kid and something about a hydraulic cylinder turning the wheels makes sense to me, lol The main attraction to the axles for me is added strength and better braking, the additional width was just a bonus, but I sure...

    Howdy fellas. I'm dreaming about the long term goals for my Suburban. Here's what I'm currently envisioning ORD 4" custom spring lift kit (10-11" advertised travel) Cutout Fender Flares (I'd do the Icelandic style flares if I could find any) 05+ Super Duty axles Possibly full hydro steering...

    700R4 won’t stay in overdrive

    That’s fantastic information, thanks for the fast reply. I’ll be reading through your thread. I’ve seen some people recommending to install additional 3-4 clutches, do you think that’s worthwhile or even viable? I’ve also considered installing a larger intercooler, is that worthwhile for normal...

    700R4 won’t stay in overdrive

    Howdy all. I have a 91 suburban with a 700R4 transmission that i have a few problems with. Also it may be designated as a 4L60, not positive about that. My main problem is that it won’t stay in overdrive once it warms up. After about 20 miles of highway driving, i can ease off the throttle and...

    Show me roof accessories on Suburbans!

    Looking to see your Suburbans with any roof accessories - clearance lights, visors, roof racks, antennas, roof mounted tires, etc. Looking for ideas on my wife's build and didn't find any thread like this, so share up! I'll be dumping some pics that I've scoured from the internet as well.

    Suburban barn doors stuck shut

    I was able to get it! Had to pull more of the inner trim off, just felt like I was going to break it.

    Suburban barn doors stuck shut

    Firstly, I'm not sure if this is the correct place to put this thread. Somebody let me know if it needs to be elsewhere. I recently bought a new Suburban and the barn door latch is stuck in the depressed position. I'm unable to open the door from the inside or outside, with the key cylinder in...

    Got new tires for the Suburban. 33/10.50r15 BFG KO2's. Before and after. Really changed the look of the truck.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Thank you everybody! :laughing1:This reply is hilarious. Thanks! I used engine degreaser where power steering fluid had sprayed inside the compartment, but that was just one fenderwell and the side of the engine. Everywhere else I just used an old rag and dunked it in a bucket of water. I...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Just bought a 91 suburban one week ago and have done several things to it! She got new exhaust, cleaned the throttle body, set timing, cleaned the engine bay, and vacuumed out the inside. Also took off the grandpa looking steps and bug guard. Sent from my SM-G975U1 using Tapatalk

    Thanks! My plan for now is to repaint the red and to leave the tan in its patina. Maybe clear over it. Also, here's some interior shots I never posted. Sent from my SM-G975U1 using Tapatalk
