    Write up: Gas Tank Relocation

    I'm wanting to do the opposite of this mod and install saddle tanks on both sides of my suburban when I put in the diesel engine. Currently have a 5.7 TBI. I have a 40 gallon tank now and hope to add two 16 or 20 gallon tanks to be able to carry a full load of fuel. I want the capability to...

    Picture heavy. G10 nomad van

    Maybe more like this one. I'm thinking move the grill back to the window, move the body to the front of the chassis, section the chassis so the rear bumper is back in place and move the rear wheel wells to match the rear axle. Possibly move the engine to mid way. My engine (350) is weak so...

    I'm planning on building one of those vans! From my 1988 Suburban.

    Fuel Tank Size

    Whats the chance I could put a pair of 16 or 20 gallon tanks in my Suburban, in addition to the factory 40 gallon tank? I want to be able to move diesel and gas without carrying cans....? I'm thinking a set of straps and some plumbing and it would work. Anyone know?

    Brake light faintly illuminated

    I had the same problem on my 91 Suburban. I ended up disconnecting the wires on the anti lock control board and after restart the light went out and has not come back on. No fluid issues before hand on mine. Just lit up one day. 87 probably doesn't have anti lock brakes though. What is on...

    Strange Bracket in Serpentine setup 1991 Suburban V1500

    Thanks....that never occurred to me. My 88 does not have the serpentine nor a spare spot like that. Problem solved.

    Strange Bracket in Serpentine setup 1991 Suburban V1500

    Folks, Can anyone tell me what this extra bracket is for under my A/C compressor? It's on a 1991 Suburban V1500 with a 5.7 TBI engine. The bracket has not been drilled but there are spots that look like they should be drilled for pivots or mounting. Maybe for a second A/C compressor or a...

    Block Flush

    I tried Vinegar once. Hoses got very tight (under a lot of pressure) and when I opened the cap (when cool) it blew vinegar all over the engine compartment and even after flushing with a lot of fresh water there are still rust stains everywhere. I wouldn't recommend it at all. Let me know what...

    700R4/241C leaking from vent?

    Just replacing the front seal on the transfer case seems to have fixed it. I have no leaks now and my trans oil is staying stable. Time to move on to a radiator replacement! Baby steps.

    700R4/241C leaking from vent?

    Well it is back in. I replaced the seal on the input of the transfer case only. I did put some (small amount) silicone sealant around the outside edge of the input flange and another bigger bead on the outside flange of the adapter to transfer case seat. It's filled with ATF and seems to be...

    Thanks, I will find out soon. Headed out now to put it back in.

    700R4/241C leaking from vent?

    PrairieDrifter....It looks like the 700R4 is the same as the 350 as in no seal and intended drain back to transmission. I watched a small hole spew ATF while transmission was in gear which looks like it is intended to lube the speedo gear mechanism. T hanks for your update. It did not show on...

    700R4/241C leaking from vent?

    Apparently the transmission does NOT have a rear seal in a 4x4 application and the cavity in the adapter is wet from a intended squirting of AFT into it which drains back into the transmission pan. This would explain why the adapter was clear when I pulled the transfer case off. IF the transfer...

    700R4/241C leaking from vent?

    OK...another question before I do more then needed. I am seeing on another thready (Diesel Page) that there is NO seal at the back of a 700R4 trans in a 4x4 vehicle with a transfer case behind it. The seal in the front of the transfer case is to keep trans fluid out of the transfer case and...

    700R4/241C leaking from vent?

    Nobody's got any idea whats going on here? I started the engine and put the trans in drive with the transfer case out. I got a fine stream of ATF squirting thru the seal at about 11:00 so I know that the cavity inside the adapter is getting excess ATF. My confusing now lies in the fact that I...

    700R4/241C leaking from vent?

    I have a 1991 V1500 Suburban with a 350/700R4/241C. It appeared that the trans was leaking ATF but cleaned it all up and looked like it was coming from the top of the trans in the area of the transfer case vent. None coming out the tiny drain hole in the bell housing at all. So I opened the...

    700r4 output seal

    Guys, I have cleaned the engine, transmission and transfer case and run the vehicle again. The leak looks to be coming from the top of the engine and not inside the bell housing. I pulled the fill plug from the 241C transfer case and it looks like it is full to the top and not just to the...

    700r4 output seal

    Old post but I'm having trouble finding a resolution to my transmission leak and the vent issue discussed got my interest: I have a 1991 V1500 Suburban (4x4) with a 5.7, 700R4 and NV241 (I believe) transfer case. I have a serious leak that looks like it is coming from the top of the...

    Where can I find this grille?

    Looks like it would be fairly easy to build on at home.

    18x8 33's on stock 91 Suburban

    I'm trying to update my wheels on my 1991 V1500 Suburban and the offset / backspacing info on the web has me confused. I got the following from a listing of factory GM wheels. It indicated that the rim has a positive 25mm offset.....ET25 under rim. From this post above it looks like my...

    Repair or replace radiator?

    So from what I am reading.....the radiator will go in with little or no trouble without changing any metal. The hoses will probably need to be changed to diesel hoses at rad install (i'm guessing because the diesel is wider then the gas rad?) Also when I change the engine to a diesel I will...
