    AC or not to Ac is the question

    I can't deal with the cold, but can tell you from 1sthand experience with the 91 Sub that the front only will not keep up. So, went junkyarding back in 00 or 01 when there were squares in the local junkyards and got the pieces I needed and had it installed. Mo better, and except for the...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I forgot I got my Bosch BP52S pads in and installed today along with new bushings and sleeves. Carid says these are organic , but the box says semi metallic. ( Tried a link, but it would not work.) I am trying to match the OE material, but I cant get a straight interwebz answer on what...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Gassed Goldie up, and noticed a miss. Did it on the way home from the gas station, too, so I figured I would pull good ol 8 and 6 to check it. Opened the hood and could hear a popping noise/thudding noise. Great - the engine has internal issues. Well, gotta check. Pull the plug wire...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Thank you ! :) Pictures make her look better than real life, but, one step at a time! Today's action was clean the brake shoes and drums and slightly readjust the drivers side shoes. A little SOS pad with brake clean action on the drums along with some fine sanding of the shoes and drums...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Upper body wash and wax day. Basically, the white and above got washed and waxed, and the wheels got a bath, too. Bumpers and grille got ignored for now. Still, about 3 hours worth of work .

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Finally got off my duff and tightened the steering column bolts. A little disappointed that there is a tad bit of slop in the tilt mechanism- probably where the tilt "teeth " grab the metal pin. Oh, well, 42 years of wear does that.

    Need pictures of inner body panels - 87 Suburban - Rear Corners

    Not sure what you need - hopefully these help. Cargo door rig if that makes any difference. Britt

    Do these racing stripes work on this square?

    Hmm - hood and roof, I assume? Could be cool.

    How slow is your daily driver?

    Something wrong there - I bet with a few tweaks you get that down to 36 seconds easy peasy. :dogpile:

    LOL- that stuff does like to migrate, doesn't it? :dogpile: Just kept it to my hands this time- getting neater. AFAIK...

    Low Beam vs High Beam

    Smarter people than I say that all 4 should be on. https://www.gmsquarebody.com/threads/1982-suburban-headlights.28127/#post-541621 The searches I did make it appear that the upper lights should have 3cprong bulbs for both high and low beams.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Pulled the passenger side caliper, cleaned the pads and rotors, and cleaned and never seized the pins. Did the ds side a month or so ago. Then, found a Phillips screw with a washer hanging out between the rear bumper and that argent plastic flap. I had taken her to Lowes earlier today, so...

    Valve stem seals info needed and is it worth while in my case?

    On the plus side, though,for the least amount of time and money spent, you know what you have. And, so long as you don't mind adding oil and changing a plug or two quite frequently you could run it fir a while more. Which is what I have been doing, without the internal experimentation. :cool:

    Broken Loose Steering Wheel (Not Column)

    Cant watch the video for some reason, but as a guess there are a pair of white plastic bushings that act kind of like a ujoint in the column. That would be my 1st guess.

    Oil consumption

    Still have your cat ? If so, it may be hiding the consumption. Goldie does not, so I see it - when it is warming up mainly, and at slow speeds. Normal = No. Given the vintage of the motor, and the improvement in oil tech over the years and the horrible factory recommendations for...

    Beauty ring help!

    Were they off a 4 x 4 ? Different depths between 2 x 4 and 4 x 4. Random shot, and free bump. :waytogo:

    Steering column removal

    I do not recall ever replacing one. However, one you pull the t!ts from the steel plates I would think there is enough flexibility there to pull it on the PS around the bearing and steering shaft and then around the shift lever. Maybe that is not the case - if not, I'd try cutting it and...

    Tailgate differences

    To the best of my knowledge the only difference is that the inset stamped in the 81 up is squared on the corners while the older ones are rounded there. Seems like I read here that the 73 & 74's may have different mounts than the rest - cannot confirm that. Here's a pic of the rounded example...
