    K2 Escalade Platinum Interior Swap to K2 Suburban

    Sorry I totally missed this thread. Subbed now and will watch with interest. If the Caddy seats are all that then I'll want them in my 3500, too.

    Chevrolet Suburban 3500 Questions

    Understood and I agree, but it comes down to whether or not the stock 1500 T1 body can be made to work safely on a modified version of the older 3500/2500 frames. The wheelbase is longer so some frame mods will be needed, but for a shop like Duramax Specialties, frame mods are a likely a walk in...

    Chevrolet Suburban 3500 Questions

    Yeah, the word is out there on them now so there are multiple buyers for a meager supply. I'm waiting for the Duramax Specialties guys to figure out there's a market for gassers, too. Not everyone wants a Duramax in an HD rig. It would be a challenging conversion given the switch to IRS on the...

    Chevrolet Suburban 3500 Questions

    Been a while since this thread has been updated. How is yours doing for you, @Bigburb3500? Did you get your transmission sorted? I think I finally have the ride on mine dialed in when towing. The Bilstein 4600's made a HUGE difference, and after playing with tire pressures and weight...

    Front Differential Issues after engine modifications

    ^^^This^^^ Newly overhauled differentials will get hotter than normal until the gears get broken in, typically within 200-500 miles. If the backlash wasn't set right, you should find out within the warranty period when it eats itself. If after 500 miles it's still getting that hot after a short...

    Pwtr02ss home build

    We have a Rinnai tankless that runs our whole 3600 sq ft, 5 bedroom house. It’s 10 years old and gets a ridiculous amount of use. Our son used to take 30 minute showers, and our daughter showers twice a day. 2 loads of dishes a day and 20 loads of laundry a week in our house. I’ve flushed it...

    The Adventures of Sylvester, the 2018 Suburban 3500 HD and our 2017 Airstream 27FB

    Easy drive down today in mostly light traffic. Got a site on Pamlico Sound. The more time we spend in this thing, the more we understand why so many people love them.

    GeorgeB’s 2013 Suburban LTZ “Fin”

    FWIW, when I went to buy new tires for the 2012, it was right between the changeover from the LTX M/S and M/S2, and Discount Tire was out of both. I ended up with Continental TerrainContact and they’re excellent.

    Gonna be cold for a couple days but we’ll manage. I know Erie very well - lots of friends and family near there. Safe travels to you also!

    The Adventures of Sylvester, the 2018 Suburban 3500 HD and our 2017 Airstream 27FB

    Final mod for the fall is a 3” lift kit on the Airstream. We like to boondock off the beaten path, so this will keep us from dragging our ass on the way in or out. I didn’t feel like tackling this one so I farmed it out to a local guy who specializes in Airstreams. Cost me 1200 beans for the...

    Awesome trip!! But a hundred bucks says Hong Kong Buffet on Main Street in Cedar City will be open. :)

    Kbuskill's 2008 Burb LTZ "MOD" Thread

    Both of my Denali’s have factory sill plates that say Denali in that same font. Perhaps it was part of a trim package like LTZ on the Chevy’s?

    6.2L Winter Refresh

    I used ARP bolts for the heads, balancer, cam, and exhaust manifolds on my 6.2. Given that I had to do the job 3x, they saved me a fair bit of money over the TTY bolts. Your parts list looks okay to me.

    New Member Looking At DOD Delete

    I agree with the advice to roll your own. That’s what I did, and I’m glad I did. And I affirm the advice x10 to only use genuine GM lifter trays, purchased from a reputable seller such as Summit Racing. Bon appétit...

    Low oil pressure diag

    Hundred bucks says it’s the o-ring. But you might as well put a HV pump in it while you’re in there.

    Bored, so I took apart my old 6.2

    Thinking on this some more, I also changed the torque converter at the same time. It has the same stall as stock, but a billet cover, flanged hub, and stronger lockup clutch. It hooks up fast and there's no slop in it, which I think is partly why it's so enjoyable to drive. My wife likes her...

    Bored, so I took apart my old 6.2

    I did replace the cam in my 2012 Yukon XL Denali. Three times in fact, owing to cheap lifter trays sold to me as genuine GM. Once I got real GM trays, no more problems. I have the Cam Motion Stage 2 truck cam and I love it. Smooth idle but you can tell it’s not stock. Great power throughout the...

    Bored, so I took apart my old 6.2

    Then call me a sissy too. I like a smooth idle with plenty of grunt behind the go pedal.

    I'm Gonna Miss You Guys!

    Hate to see you leave the GM family but happy to know you’re committed to the camping life! And, that F-350 is an excellent safety tool for the job. You’ll be happy! Drop in an keep us posted on your adventures and how you’re liking the new rig. And when you get a new camper, post pics of that too!

    2011 Yukon XL - Hot while towing, fluctuating oil pressure, general weirdness.

    Which external cooler do you have and where did you mount it? I have a whole thread on lessons learned on keeping cool when towing in the summer heat. I often tow with a 2012 Yukon XL Denali, and after much experimentation I found that any trans cooler much larger than the OEM unit mounted in...

    Tahoe Camshaft Removal IssUe getting stuck during rEmoval.

    It can be a little tricky, but rocking it around while rotating it always worked for me. If it's truly hung up on a bearing then it's machine shop time. :-(
