89Suburban's Wanted List
I'll get pictures for you later, but I think I might have a few items for you. I would like to reuse my original windows in the doors I just gutted from a late 80's burb. If I can do that then I'll sell ya the ones I yanked for cheap. Also have a few switches I might be able to give you as... -
crazy4offroad's for sale thread!
Thanks! I'll let you know what they look like when FedEx gets through tossing them across the country. :roflbow: I'm sure the truck will really like them when I finally get around to installing them. She's got pep now, but I'm expecting quite the kick in the butt dyno after this. :cheers: -
2wd lift kit
What were the part #s for the 1 Ton HD springs? I was looking at Rock Auto and they list the same part # for the 1/2 Ton w/454 Springs as the 1 ton's... For all I know, I'd get a little lift just getting new springs as the ones on there are 39 years old... :roflbow:- SlickGTP

Round Headlight Upgrades???
I did the harness upgrade from LMC and then installed the top of the line Sylvania bulbs... My God, what a difference... I started to wonder how I saw anything at night in the truck I had back in high school. -

Gauge Cluster terminals

Gauge Cluster terminals
Has anyone ever had the terminals that clip the printed circuit to the back of the cluster for the gauge prongs break? I was replacing the printed circuit this evening and had two of them break as I was putting them back in. :banghead: So, right now I have the Ammeter jerry rigged to...- SlickGTP

What have you done to your square lately??
I don't know about y'all, but I just got my package in from LMC... Time to yank the cluster on the ol' girl and replace the circuitry. My gauges keep doing flaky things and I have reason to believe it's the old one delaminating and having the traces bounce off each other. Also got new... -
4L80-E Computer Operation Options / Manual Valve Body
Hmmm, manual valve body... I'd probably want to try it out before I went in that direction... JKnight: if you need help with it, let me know... I'm usually up for getting my hands dirty if there aren't any conflicts to the normal hum drum of life.- SlickGTP

broken wing window swivel
Sounds good... Here are the pics. There's a small shallow chip near the latch and the seals are dried up like they are on most of them... So, I'll throw in a spare piece of glass just in cast you need it and knock $5 off. Shipping should be about $15, which will bring the total to... -
4L80-E Computer Operation Options / Manual Valve Body
That sounds cool... I'm not sure how I'd mind a full manual valve body. I'm just trying to get over the sticker shock of just the tranny atm... Contemplating going with an overdrive unit that I can bolt to the back of the TH400, but those are expensive too.- SlickGTP

4L80-E Computer Operation Options / Manual Valve Body
We could always create our own monster of a controller as long as someone is willing to test it out just in case it starts grenading trannies. lol I remember trying to figure out what it would take to make one for the 4T65HD which was in my Grand Prix... Pretty simple as far as which...- SlickGTP

4L80-E Computer Operation Options / Manual Valve Body
This will be an interesting thread to follow... I've been debating on upgrading to the 4L80E... :popcorn: As for the M/C on the E4MEs... I think they can be deleted with a few modifications, but I'd have to go back through my books to see what else would need to be done besides blocking...- SlickGTP

broken wing window swivel
Yup, it'll fit the '82. How does $25 plus shipping sound? I can take pictures of it when I get home tonight. -
broken wing window swivel
Speaking of replacing... I have at least one for each side that are spares if anyone wants to buy them. -
broken wing window swivel
yeah... found out when I picked up my truck that mine had the same issue... there's a spring loaded stud that is attached to the bottom of the glass frame. Mine had rusted really bad and then broke off so the PO wired it shut. I think I'm going to fix mine as they're the originals and all... -
broken wing window swivel
Is it at the top or the bottom? I had one fail at the bottom. Only way to fix it is to pull the whole thing out and weld the stud back to the window frame. If it's at the top, then you can buy the rivets to put it back together. -
What tach are you running
Picked up the gauge from Summit Racing... Roughly $100 or so... After that all I needed to do was trim the hole for it where the clock sat, cut a hole in the back of the cluster case and in the gauge lens. Lots of time with the dremel to get it as close as I could. Sits behind the bezel...- SlickGTP

What tach are you running
I mounted a VDO 2 1/16" in where the clock goes... Really pretty and just about looks like it belongs there. I've got an automatic so I don't really need to look at it all the time, but it's nice to reference every once in awhile. I can't find the pic of it in the truck, but I know I...- SlickGTP

Sounds like you were in the same boat I'm in now... Consider the gear set sold. -
crazy4offroad's for sale thread!
Okay... Well, I think I'd be able to fix the diff, but can't seem to find parts anywhere so that puts a damper on that. I'm still interested in the gears though, but when I look them up they have two different 3.73s depending on the existing carrier you have. One for 3.40 and lower carrier... -
crazy4offroad's for sale thread!
Hey Crazy, What condition are the 3.73s for the 12bolt and the posi unit in? I might be interested. My poor beast has the stock 3.08s with an open diff. She needs some help. lol Estimate on shipping to 77084? Thanks! -- John
