    ol' burb got trans issues

    As much as I hate it being down I'm not in a real big hurry to fix it for one reason... This is what I'm driving till I get the burb Goin again..

    ol' burb got trans issues

    Fairly certain the noise and vibration is in the torque converter. Just glad the whole trans isn't toast, finding a 400 around here isn't the easiest thing especially one worth anything. I found a few here and there but they all needed rebuild or looked they've been at the bottom of a lake for...

    ol' burb got trans issues

    Took a look around the engine bay and the rubber hose on the metal line Goin to the modulator valve was dry rotted. Replaced it and it seems like everything is good now. Shifts fine, and the vibrating and roaring seems gone also.. could that one line cause all that drama??

    ol' burb got trans issues

    Alright I need a few opinions on this problem.. Recently the trans in my suburban has started holding in gear longer than it should, especially going from second into third. Around about the same time I noticed a vibration/roaring that starts around 55-60. Oddly, it stops as soon as you let off...

    building a roof rack for my burb.

    The headliner is pretty f-ed up.. both front and rear sections are warped pretty bad and the one for the rear has quite a few holes in it. I should probably replace it but, I don't have the $$$ for a new one and a good used one is gonna be a bit hard to find. So I thought maybe there's a good...

    building a roof rack for my burb.

    Not a whole lot of progress today.. started raining and got cold as hell so I decided to retreat inside and play video games.. did get the headliner and trim out, and got all my measurements figured out for the mounts. Luckily all the trim is in good shape, the headliner... not so much..

    building a roof rack for my burb.

    I've got some angle iron that I'm thinking of using for the mounts but I'll have to get a little creative with the placement for lack of flat spots to mount to... also I wanna tie in to the ceiling braces where they meet up with the roof. Is this really necessary, or a little overkill? This...

    building a roof rack for my burb.

    I wanted a rack for my for my suburban for a while now and never really liked the looks of the off the shelf ones, not to mention a lack of funds. So I figured I would build my own. I ended up getting a huge section of an old trailer frame. Its 1 inch, 1/8 inch thick square tubing. I've pretty...

    Traded a Kawasaki for a Dodge...

    Appreciate the compliments... the more I drive this thing the more I like it.. I would also have to agree, the 300 straight six is one of the best engines I have ever owned.. had an 84 F150 longbed 2wd a while back, loved that truck. Only reason I got rid of it was so I could buy my dads 79...

    I really like the way it looks.. I really dig the way the exhaust manifolds are made also.. probably not great for power but I plan on leavin em just cause I like the way they look too..

    Traded a Kawasaki for a Dodge...

    There definitely isn't a shortage on room in the engine bay of this one.. I love how simple and un-cluttered it is too, looks like there's just enough stuff for it to run. I expect that on 70's or older ride but, not on a 86.. Dodge really had their shit together back then..

    As requested... Like I said needs some attention.. but it runs like a sewing machine, quite a bit more power than I figured it would have with that tiny carb.. supposed to have an RV cam but stock otherwise..

    Traded a Kawasaki for a Dodge...

    Right now I really haven't got any plans for it.. probably lower it a few inches, ditch the all-terrain rear tires and get some decent ones for the front, put a exhaust on it and drive it.. right now it gets pretty good fuel mileage with the 2 barrel...

    Yeah my suburban is still my baby but , I am starting to get attached to the old dodge. Its nice having a truck again too. As much as I like it, it would definitely go long before the burb...

    Traded a Kawasaki for a Dodge...

    Little update :.. Cleaned the old truck up and put another coat of paint and clear coat on the wheels,... looks pretty good.. Still kinda on the fench about the black.. usually like black wheels on a white vehicle but I think a dark silver or gunmetal grey might look better.. any thoughts?

    Traded a Kawasaki for a Dodge...

    Thought about that once I noticed it was the old style distributor. I know almost nothing about a Dodge, this is the first one I've owned. I wasn't too sure about the wheels at first but, I cleaned 'em up and painted 'em black today and they're starting to grow on me. I may still repaint them...

    Burb electrical gremlins

    Thanks for the compliment, sittin around waiting really wasn't an option anyway.. this trucks my DD and I would rather take a swift kick in the ass over driving the wifes Eqiunox... I spent at least an hour of that time drinking beer and cussing at the truck,.. come to think of it that...
