    Need new radiator, what to get for now and future

    My brother got one of the new radiators for his suburban in place of the original brass radiator and he wasn't impressed by it. It was an aluminum center with plastic ends. It cooled fine for him and his truck is a 350 bored 40 over with a 180* thermostat. I've always learned from the older...

    Tbi to carb.

    @Jims86, I haven't been by the shop to look at it. Weather here is crap the past two days hopefully it will clear up this weekend. I do have a vacuum gauge and I have a Autometer pro-comp fuel pressure gauge I can use to T-off the fuel line to get the pressures. I also have a compression test...

    Would I do that while it's running? I've never heard of doing that before so I want to be sure before I go out and possibly make a bomb lol. It shouldn't blow but if It does that means I had some serious blow by. Jims86 you seem to be the tbi guru here have you ever heard or seen a tbi do the...

    Tbi to carb.

    I'm thinking that's what I'm going to have to do. Thanks 89suburban for the info I'll try to see if any of that will work when I get the chance. It's the most confusion I've ever had with a motor. I've built tons of motors from Hondas to fords to a whole bunch of small block Chevys but this is...

    I know the egr is for exhaust gas recirculating or whatever but that shouldn't cause it to surge. I never known one to cause that before. This tbi system is a bad design in my opinion. I wish my truck didn't have it cause I like carbs way better.

    No I haven't done the egr valve. But that shouldn't really matter on this would it? My smog pump hasent been on it in a few years. I bought the truck without it.

    I put a new one in just to see if that could fix my problem and it didn't. It has a new knock sensor and both oil pressure sensors are new also. The only old sensors on this motor is the ones on the bracket next to the throttle body

    The idle is factory cause it still has the plug in it. The idle air sensor is the one in the back passenger side of the throttle body right? If so I know it's fine because I had a spare and I swapped it and the tps sensor and it continues to surge. It's as if there is a vacuum leak but there is...

    Hey guys sorry I thought I had responded to this post I guess I didn't. Well I got the backfire thing done and gone but she surges every now and again and stumbles. No vacuum leaks or over loading of fuel. I think it's the throttle body. It was my brothers old one and had 230000 miles on it. I'm...

    Russel braided brake lines

    So it's a no go on that then. Lol. I'm just looking to see if it's worth the trouble installing these lines because I have to replace my caliper anyway and the lines are dry rotted from being so old. I already have the kits so I might as well do it. Thank you guys for the input

    Is it good to have a load sensing valve? Like is it worth the trouble to locate one and install it or just better off going without it

    Mufflers - need input/advice

    I have headers and a true 2 1/2 inch dual exhaust with flowmaster 40 series and 4inch tips exiting 45* behind rear tire. Sounds amazing. Similar to the late 60's early 70's muscle cars and that's what I wanted because I love the deep throaty sound. It is slightly droney at 2,000rpm but all...

    Russel braided brake lines

    Thanks for the picture. My suburban don't have that. Maybe because one is only a 1500 or because it's an 88 or is that a factory option?

    Russel braided brake lines

    What load sensing valve? I'm not sure if my Burban has that. I've never really looked at the rear end so it might have one. My truck has spongy brakes like crazy but I know most of it is in the fluid because it's a black abyss. Lol. When I do the lines and the passenger caliper I'm changing all...

    Need help... w Oil Pressure Sender

    They are great headers. I had no clearance problems at all. Perfect fit. So did you get the leak figured out or still giving you fits?

    Russel braided brake lines

    I had called Russell(edlebrock) and spoke with them and they said the only difference is about an extra inch on each hose in one of the kits. My fitting ends aren't squared up like yours. Mine are rounded. I guess mine are newer models or maybe older ones. Thank you for the response by the way...

    Russel braided brake lines

    Well the only thing I can think of that makes them any different is the way they mount to the frame. I have no way of testing thread pitch or I would. And lengths yes they are just about the same. I think one has a line that is about an inch longer than the other set. But one kit says it will...

    Russel braided brake lines

    2WD 3/4T lift?

    Me and my brother did a suspention lift on his 2wd 1500 suburban. We used 3/4 ton suburban springs. Bought them new at the parts store and 2in. lift blocks for the back. Lifted it two inches and it cleared 33-12.50r15 with close but no touching unless it's flexed out on a major incline. It was...

    Lido storage box?

    Has anyone ever owned or used one of these? When I bought my truck it was in it. I was curious as to if anyone has ever seen one. I tried a google search on them and only find one for a jeep. This is defiantly a suburban one as you can see it fits perfect as the 3rd row handle clears and where...

    Tbi engine backfire

    Sorry bud I didn't notice someone asked me something on here. I have t been on in a little while. I did get her figured out most of the way. My distributor was acting a fool. I got my brothers old one from his truck and now she is doing fine. I am running Accel header plugs by the way. She still...
