    kayaks might put us over our gvwr. Cool setup idea. Funny that slide system does in concept what I do. I stand kayak up on end then lean on roof rack (which over hangs body) then push up and rotate. Not quite as refined as the slide system :)

    So that means we are less likely to have failures? Sorry not aware of this issue yet. I thought I heard there are some known issue with the fitting by condenser leaking.

    Sorry man that sucks. Appreciate you being the front runner and guinea pig so to speak. I wonder if that's why the aftermarket (like my link above) ones use flex tube.

    Good to hear. Guess as a Wisconsin native its coded to my brain to not go bellow 1/4 tank. I might try the test as I am curious. Like you I always have mission critical cargo on board and can't be fing around testing :). Maybe will try to drive to work for while and keep a 5 gal jerry can in the...

    Wow must be a thing mine did that on a long drive to yellow stone. Filled up drove about an hour then gas gauge went to Zero. I freaked pulled into next fuel station looked for leaks and such. Put a few gallons in then started up and all normal. Never happened again. On a related note lets talk...

    Very very well said thanks for putting effort into that well written piece. I tow 7500k with no issue or concern. Another expert 3500 owner towed 38’ long +10k with pleasure :)

    I researched this a lot. Few REAL lifts for this model due to different front spindles than anything else. A fellow guru said IF you are going to lift it- you have to find a bracket lift. The 16+ 3500 had its own spindle and there are no lift companies who have duplicated that specific spindle...

    Nice work. Thanks for inspiration. I am going to do this also. I had dealer change fluid before 50k now near 75k and going to do pan drop + filter like you at some point. Care to share dipstick used? I found this one Lokar TD-36L80FM Transmission Dipstick...

    Suburban 3500 known as 1TONSUB

    I noticed the best improvement in ride quality with tire pressure 40 front 50 rear when empty. This came from a 2500 Suburban owners manual for some year. Brother from another mother I originally was planning on lifting but quickly was schooled how much it messes up towing ability. Here was my...

    Bought from dealer in Lock Haven Pennsylvania in March 2021. Saw it listed and drove out to see within days. Looked for couple years before I found one. It was stock I added stuff.

    Chevrolet Suburban 3500 Questions

    Thanks for info. Sorry to confirm you run 89 fuel on the 87 tune? Do you keep the programmer installed or just flash the tune then remove the autocal. Curious if you enjoy the other data available from the autocal when driving...

    Would love to hear how that goes. Did you install a dip stick? Adapter to fill from pan or dip stick? Fluid choice? Pan drop clears exhaust? Thanks. I would like do this as well.
