    How To Take It Out... ALL of it?

    So I finally got to the stage of trying to clean up the wiring in my dash on my '88 Suburban. Over the poor girl's 34 years she's had an aftermarket stereo put in, an alarm system fully integrated with the power locks, lights, and an immobilizer, and someone put a trailer brake box in there...

    Insulation on a Budget

    So I wound up taking a deeper dive than I intended with my '88 suburban and I've blown the budget all to hell. Originally I was just going to do the headliner and pretty up the dash and door panels. A boat load of vinyl, a roll of carpet, and A LOT of AC and dash parts later I'm pretty much...

    Headliner Woes

    11 years ago I bought an ABS headliner from LMC Truck for my '88 Suburban. "Guaranteed not to sag!" it said in the catalog... uh huh. So 6 months later my new $500 headliner was touching the top of my head. Apparently it should have said "guaranteed not to sag... as long as you don't park it...

    Every time I have attempted to bring my '88 Suburban back from the dead over the 5 years since I parked it I run into the age old no-time-no-money curse. Well I finally have a hedge for both and by darn this monkey is getting back on the road! First order of business is to make it run... which...

    Universal AC Conversion?

    I have an '88 Suburban. Apparently the original owner, who purchased it in Scottsdale ARIZONA, didn't see any value in rear air. When I first bought the truck as a bachelor it only bothered me a little. Now I have a family and the real possibility of using this beast to transport them in all...

    5.7 TBI Advice Needed

    8 years ago I bought my '88 Suburban with 179k on the clock. Smoked a little on cold start, but very characteristic of dried out valve stem seals and not really worrying to me. I topped off the tank right by the gentleman's house and drove the truck about 40 miles home. Topped the tank off...

    Front and Rear Window Regulators the Same?

    All 4 of my power windows are toast on my '88 suburban. I'm looking for new regulators and motors but I can only seem to find front regulators. Are the front and rear different? I only want them to pull them out once, I hate these doors. So I figured I'd find out from the experts :D

    Save The Junk?

    So my '88 Suburban has been sitting a while. It's a long, sad story. Anyway, I'm bringing her back to life now. The interior is truly sad. The plastics on the door panels are faded and scratched, the "vinyl" is stained and discolored, the dash pad has cracks every 6 inches, the plastic...
