whats every body using.. looking for a new stereo head unit
Retro-sounds, couldn’t be happier. Plug and play, no holes, simple controls looks OE. Added a JBL under seat sub-woofer to complement the speakers. Crutchfield adapter, no cutting or splicing.

I’m pretty pissed!!

Exhaust pipe kits from @mazon/ eBay
Hi all, My ‘84 stepside is bone stock, ordered new. I have been searching for a stock tailpipe replacement 2 into 1 into 2 out one side and have not been able to locate. Not sure if all stepsides had that configuration or only with the glide-out spare tire carrier.- Finkaire

Cooling suggestions k5 454

Opinions on best newish Suburban or Tahoe
Loved my Suburban! Depending on where you live dictates on how much it will cost to fill the tank. The LS engine is bulletproof. I like the 11th edition 2015 thru 2020, a good looking truck IMHO. Too much electronics on the latest edition. Wouldn’t mind having one myself!- Finkaire
