    Outdoor Storage, Cover and Suggestions?

    Life changes and I need to store my burb for at least a year. It's going to be parked outdoors, which it has been for it's whole life as you can tell. But I was considering purchasing a car cover to protect what little paint is left and prevent interior sun fade. Has anybody used a car cover...

    AC Delco Factory Radio (AM/FM)

    Tested am/fm, presets, tone, balance, and all seem to work fine. Front knobs are missing, but other than that it is complete: it does have the pigtails (all 3), support brace and bolt for dash, mounting nuts, and the tone/balance knobs behind the volume/tune knobs that are missing. $40 + shipping

    Electric Air Control Valve/Solenoid

    Anybody ever replace one of these? Looks like the check valve failed and the air pump was not connected at some point and the hot exhaust gases backed up and melted the electric air control (EAC) valve/solenoid assembly - also known as the diverter valve. I tried searching, but couldn't find...

    Burb Rear AC TXV bulb mount

    What am I supposed to do with the expansion valve for the rear ac? I have a new one, but it is a bit different than the original. How does the coil mount to the line? Do I just clamp it to the side of it, or is it supposed to coil around the line? The original looks like this: And...

    What body color paint?

    Does anyone know what paint color this is? (The white/tan/beige color in the middle.) I looked up my RPO codes and it listed the red, which is called Medium Garnet Ret Metallic, but it didn't say what the other color was.

    Replacement Grille (85-88)

    Anybody find a reproduction grille for the single headlight version from 85-88? I'm talking about this one: I checked LMC truck and they don't make it, well not this one exactly, they make one without the bowtie emblem: I can't find one that has the provision for the bowtie...

    Transfer Case Crossmembers & Skid Plates

    I picked up a transfer case skid plate that I thought would fit, and went through all the trouble of cracking the bolts, and bringing it home, scrubbing it down to get all the dirt off, and then find out it doesn't fit... It came from an 80s suburban. I guess there are different transmission...

    Bad hubs or transfer case? How to tell.

    Having major trouble with 4wd... When applying load, uphill for example, and only in 4wd (hi or lo) with manual hubs locked of course, there's this buckling feeling like something is slipping and then catching. It feels like it's coming from the front end, possibly the hubs not fully engaged...

    Safe load for suburban stock rack

    What is the suburban factory roof rack (and roof) rated for in terms of load bearing? (I have an 87 suburban with the newer stock rack, I have seen the older (73-80?) version of the roof rack is a bit different.) How about if not mounted to the rails, but I am planning to put some storage...

    Time for a new exhaust

    As you can see, I need a new exhaust system. Holes everywhere, hangers cracked, and it still has the old pellet-style cat. I stopped by a local shop, who quoted me $650 for a new system after the y pipe back. That includes a new "modern" cat, a flowmaster 40 series muffler, and tailpipe, all...

    Engine Dies after long downhill run

    Hey guys, wondering if anyone has experienced this before and if anybody has an idea of what could be causing this... After coasting in a lower gear going down hill (i.e. engine braking) the engine dies after putting it into neutral. This has happened a few times and all times at the same...

    SM465 Vent/Breather Tube?

    Does the sm465 have a vent tube? I checked around the top and sides of the case, but couldn't find any tubes coming off it. It's pretty dirty/muddy down there so maybe I just missed it? Or does it just vent from the top where the shifter is? I have gone through and elongated the breather tubes...

    Best fuel pump (TBI)

    Who makes the best fuel pump for our fuel injected trucks? I'd like to get the best one possible so I never have to worry about it. Is AC Delco still good? I've tried to always go with ac delco in the past until someone told me that a few years ago they sold out and now the parts are mostly...

    Hood insulation pad

    I'd like to install one of these to cut down on engine noise. Did squarebodies ever come with these from the factory? Is someone still making them new? Or is there an aftermarket solution that works better? I see some holes in the inner hood panel, looks like it could accommodate one. Here's...

    SM465 swap for?

    While I appreciate the strength and durability of the sm465 (It's been through 2 engines already) I really miss having a true 5 or 6 speed while driving. Not having overdrive is not the best on highways (the speed limit's not 55 anymore!) and that jump from first to second gear is huge -...

    Advice on new exhaust - manifolds back

    My exhaust is in need of replacement: it's rusted, there are holes in the muffler, holes in the pipes, cracked hangers, failed cat, etc. So I'm looking to replace everything from after the manifolds - those look fine, and I don't want headers. One thing that I don't like about what I believe...

    Alignment + Spindle shims + new leafs

    My burb pulls to the right a bit. I took it to get alignment checked after putting some new tires on, and they said it would need a shim behind the spindle to correct the camber. How can this be? Did something get bent or what? Or a manufacturing error? It did the same thing before x4 ball...

    What to do? Repair shop f'ed up...

    This is why I do all the work on my vehicles myself, I just can't trust people because they're not going to put the same effort and care into my vehicle that I would. The old saying is true, if you want it done right, do it yourself. This would have never happened if I had just done the work...
