    2008 2500 Suburban

    Looks like I'm late to the party. If you're still around, I'll add one more option to consider. GM made a Suburban 3500 (1-ton) from 2015-2019, but they were only available new to fleet buyers. All of them have the 6.0L L96 gas engine and 6L90 transmission (bulletproof combo) You can find them...

    Pwtr02ss home build

    Some lazy dude was tying rebar, daydreaming about how to make it easier and faster so his job wouldn't suck. Now he's kicking back, collecting the money his laziness produced. They say that necessity is the mother of invention, but I think no, it's laziness. Bill Gates said "I hire lazy people...

    Pwtr02ss home build

    Man, I’m sorry you had to put up with so much shit. I have bought and sold many homes, and never had anything like that ever happen with a mortgage lending agent, so I wouldn’t have been on guard either. When I bought my last house in Colorado, it was a competitive bid situation and my lending...

    Power Steering Hose Replacement

    I had no idea, Joseph. I'm sorry to read this and can't begin to imagine what losing the love of my life would feel like. I hope you can find peace and comfort in the memories of your years together, and in the support of friends and family. May the pain ease as the weeks turn into months, and...

    Power Steering Hose Replacement

    I used a simple fluid extractor when I did mine on my 2007. I used the GM Genuine hoses for about 5x the price of the Edelmanns, but the rack I used was an Edelmann and it's still working great 4 years later, so I'm sure the Edelmann hose will be fine, too. I also just kept the front end raised...

    Nice! How much do you want for the old autoride fronts you took out?

    AFM/DFM Delete Kits

    I'm not sure if you responded to me to underscore my points, or to refute them, but yeah, I know. And it's why I won't purchase a newer GM full-sized SUV that has AFM/DFM. Just last weekend I had a buddy with a 2021 Silverado tell me he just had his engine replaced because his DFM hiccuped and...

    2011 Suburban 2500 - Replacement Exhaust Manifold (Driver's Side)

    Are you sure the manifold needs replacing? It's super common for them to pop bolts, but the manifold itself will generally last the life of the vehicle.

    2020 Suburban with awful roaring noise

    Yeah, that leakage is a classic sign of a failing axle seal on that side. But I'm confused - didn't you just replace that bearing and seal? Yes, a slide hammer is sometimes needed to get the axle shafts out after removing the c-clips on the diff side. You might be money ahead to go to a...

    Loving it! Made a huge difference in the ride when towing.

    Rear Main

    Depends on the cam. If it’s a choppy idle you’ll want a higher stall speed.

    2016 Chevrolet Suburban K2500 LT 3/4 Ton 4x4 Duramax Diesel - For Sale eBay

    Yeah, I've thought about that, too. My guess is that since CAFE regs basically made new HD SUVs a losing proposition for the automakers, GM is still finding a lucrative market in the aftermarket through companies like Duramax Specialties and a host of similar diesel conversion shops pumping out...

    2016 Chevrolet Suburban K2500 LT 3/4 Ton 4x4 Duramax Diesel - For Sale eBay

    The GMT900 3/4 ton frame will bolt right under that K2xx body with one body mount needing a slight repositioning. Same frame as we have under our K2xx Suburban 3500s as well.

    Towing hitches specifically

    For our small cargo trailer I use an aluminum drop hitch from harbor freight with a 2” ball. Cheap as chips and works great. For our 28’ Airstream, I use a Shocker hitch. Takes all of the jerkiness right out.

    Towing Heavy

    I towed a 7500 lb camper behind our 2012 Yukon XL for 5 years and it did great once I got the WDH set up right. The 6.2 in mine ended up needing more cooling capability for the engine and transmission, so I did some work to get that sorted (thicker Denso radiator, Derale 13960 transmission...

    Yeti's Very Long and Slow NC Home Build

    Yeah but the master bath has a private 5hitter room with a door that closes. That's a marriage saver right there.

    Yep, that would be the way to go.

    Yeti's Very Long and Slow NC Home Build

    Yeah, those are gonna look great from the outside, but a hunnert bucks says the window covering (curtains or shades) situation for the triangular portion at the top is going to piss you off.

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

    Yeah, 100%. It's one of the reasons I did the job myself. I got 3 quotes ranging from $8K to $20k for what I wanted, with a wide range of details either missing or presumed that didn't sit well with me. Plus, this way if something goes wrong 250 miles from the nearest city, chances are I can fix...

    When you're ready to put solar out there on your new ranch, I'm your guy! :D Seriously - after this project, if I didn't live in a neighborhood with an HOA, I'd have a piece of property and run everything on solar - including my vehicles. The technology has come so far it's staggering.
