    Twitchy steering with a big travel trailer (rear sway bar help?)

    I've been watching this thread since it started, kinda letting it "air out" before I chimed in. My Suburban is a 1987 R20, 8600gvwr, towing a 21' camper weighing in at 3900-ish lbs. dry weight. Where I live it is the windiest mid-day, the time of course when we prefer to be towing :). I don't...

    Let’s see your memorabilia?!

    Picked up another useless trinket today: 18"x24" , beat up, overspray, but looks okay in photos. Looks like house paint overspray on the edges. Any suggestions on how to clean the anodized and painted areas on top of the anodizing without damaging either?

    Tire/wheel recommendations

    I know this has been shared on the forum previously, but I really think it helps visualize what's going on with different sizes/offsets/gear ratios/etc. https://tiresize.com/wheel-offset-calculator/ May not be EXACTLY right but will give you something to start with.

    Has anyone bought the Summit Racing AlumaRally Wheels 17s?

    Did you see this thread about the Vision version? https://www.gmsquarebody.com/threads/k5-k10-17x8-or-17x9-vision-cheyenne-aluminum-rally-wheels.45776/ Pretty sure they're the same wheels...

    1987 Fresh Air Intake

    Measurements as promised, just several days late- looks like about 3-3/8"x8-1/4" on my air cleaner opening.

    1987 Fresh Air Intake

    My air cleaner is a '87 big block version and I suspect the opening is different from the 350 version, but I can take some measurements this evening to compare.

    K5 K10 17x8 or 17x9 vision Cheyenne Aluminum rally wheels?

    That video was the first time I saw those wheels. His are actually 18"x 9"-12mm offset w/285/60-18 tires. Perfect wheel/tire ratio to me.

    Power Tour 2025

    I've done a couple of Long Hauls and a few partials in my '79 Cutlass, but gonna skip out on this one. I'm not sure how they would make the routes interesting through the locations they're hitting. Personally I enjoy the driving/travelling with fellow participants more than the static experience...

    Need some help understanding turn signal lever, somethings missing?

    I was just getting ready to share that same link. Specifically pg.42-46-ish. He calls your missing part the "tilt lever housing". My Suburban was missing some of the ball bearings and the sliding pusher piece ("high beam follower"-pg. 44) when I got it. Scavenged what I needed from a buddy's...

    Need some help understanding turn signal lever, somethings missing?

    Yea you're missing part of the column. There should be a cover that hides the metal rod that houses a sliding piece that allows the lever to actuate the high beam rod down to the switch further down the column.

    '87 Q-jet 454?

    So I'm a little confused by some items on my Suburban. It's an '87 R20 454. The spid shows L19 for the engine-TBI 454. The air cleaner shows a ZKY code with what appears to be a Q-jet layout. Currently has Holley Sniper setup. Annnd in another twist- it was originally sold in Maryland, I bought...
