    Starter dropping out early?

    Do you have a GM dealer parts department near you? If so, I'd see if they have or can get those starter bolts. I sourced a pair of bolts there when I replaced the starter on my crew cab 5.7. The new bolts looked like the old ones, but they have the correct (for my application) shoulder and...

    Gmpartsman in Louweseeanna

    Is that the charcoal gray or silver ? Our '84 burb was navy blue and silver, like the burb on the cover of the '86 brochure. Was a good looking truck when we got it; we had it for 13 years and Dad and I went through it bumper to bumper. Got stolen Labor Day weekend 2005....

    New from Northern Colorado

    Burb doors are the same as the crew cabs, that may help with sourcing them. And the later Burbs are more likely to have power locks and windows, if you're interested in that.

    Lotsa nice squares on CL out here right now!

    I had been looking at OBS trucks and Burbs for several years before I found my crew cab. There were a lot of used GM trucks in greater Houston area, but most were project material, not something you'd want to daily in the big city or feel comfortable going on a road trip in. When our first OBS...

    HID or LED headlights whats good for street driving.

    The trucks of "back in the day" have lighting that is inadequate compared to "modern" vehicles. We've noticed that on all our Burbs and the crew cab. Of course it would help if all the street lights were working...many parts of greater Houston area this is not the case. Pedestrians get hurt and...

    Let's see those 4x4 Squares On Dirt!

    Looks like my '90 except mine was the reverse color combo (mostly white with blue on the sides) and mine was a GMC.

    Front Brakes Grabbing

    Some of it could be the lining material and composition. My Burb does that especially when it's cold. When you replaced the pads and calipers, did you clean and lubricate the mounting surfaces and the pins/bolts? With high temperature brake lubricant? Many people forget these important steps.

    Interior parts 92 Yukon

    '92 would be OBS, not square body.... The 2 door Blazer and Jimmy in the OBS trucks were built from 1992-94 in the old style interior, which is similar to the 88-94 pickups. Then in '95 they became 2 door Tahoe and Yukon. These are getting real scarce around the Houston, Texas area because of...

    Suspension grease fittings

    Best of my recollection....4 on the tie rods, 4 on the ball joints, and 3 on the idler and pitman arms. And one in the slip yoke/carrier bearing if you have a two piece driveshaft.

    membership types??

    I think you achieve "full access" membership after a certain amount of time (90 days maybe?) and 100 posts. Junior member is a nicer way of saying "newbie". Supporting members pay a small fee (on gmt400.com it's $20/$25 IIRC) for more privileges. Of course if I have any of this wrong, mods feel...

    How about a NEW squarebody?

    My '97 OBS crew cab long bed is 21 feet long. I imagine a square body CCLB is about the same.... But the mid 70s Lincoln Town Cars are longer than a square body Burb.... That long wheelbase is a b!tch in town, especially in tight turns or narrow streets. On the highway it's a very stable rig...

    How about a NEW squarebody?

    I want Santa to bring me this for Christmas..... I'd say those trucks weren't going to the southern US, since they don't have tinted windows. We put some solar mesh cloth on the big side windows on our '79 Burb, and the '84 and '90 had factory dark tinted windows.

    How about a NEW squarebody?

    You lucky dog, we had a six cylinder Phord Fairmont! Don't know if it was "detuned" but it was painfully slow. And Houston traffic already sucked, 40 years ago.....
