    tow rating - '90 2500 Suburban

    I'm considering selling my '08 Duramax truck (that I bought new) and let the Suburban take over. I only use the truck anymore to get the race cars to the mechanic about 30 minutes away. It's an enclosed '24 trailer and would be slightly over weight. But, I think with such a short distance, it...

    tow rating - '90 2500 Suburban

    @Keith Seymore - There's a wealth of info in those docs you linked to. Thank you again! For posterity, looks like my tow capacity is 7,000Lbs, with 3.73 gears. 4.10 would give 7,500. Interestingly, the R2500 w/4.10 & tow package can tow 9,500! I'm kinda surprised 4x4 decreases capacity that...

It does have a 2" rough country lift. Haven't figured out what axles it has yet but should be 3.73 ratio (from RPO)...

    Hey guys. Hoping someone can offer some advice and counsel. Brand new to square bodies. Kinda know a little bit about wiring. But also kind of an idiot when it comes to mechanics in general. I've tinkered with new vehicles and vintage race cars for decades. But there are huge gaps in my...

    Hello. And weight Q for title in Texas.

    Hello from Texas. I just bought a 1990 Suburban Silverado V2500 4x4. I'm no mechanic, and I have thousands of questions. But, I'm trying to search and slow down before bombarding the site with a bunch of silly stuff. :) It's amazing what memories this old truck has brought back. At 53 y/o...
