    Fixing Floppy Sun Visors?

    Thanks Shorty81 for the offer, and thanks everyone for the tips. I tried the gentle/careful clamping with a giant C clamp, and it seems to be working! It's held up so far, so I'll keep my fingers crossed, and move on to the next item on the list. Thanks,

    so just slide the visor off the pin? I'll have to try that when I get home, I think I still have some of that foil tape leftover from a project...thanks...

    Funny sorry about my interior

    Good stuff...I'll just add I used to be into old Air-Cooled VWs, so I have come across all kinds of things back in the day! Always the first thing I do with a new vehicle is clean front to back, never want to get in any trouble for some other idiot's "stuff"

    Fixing Floppy Sun Visors?

    Howdy. So when I got my Suburban (1987) the sunvisors had been removed. I put them back up, and while the driver's side seems fine, the passenger side won't stay up (just flops/hangs straight down). In fact, I see where someone had stuck a piece of velcro on there to hold it up. But surely...

    Suburban Barn Door Lock assembly

    SNOOTS, thanks for the pic, but that's a different profile from mine. So to update, I went by the local dealer, they had one of the odd shaped clips as in post #4, but they didn't fit. A very helpful parts guy and I spent about a half an hour looking, wiggling, trying, etc, and no dice with...

    Suburban Barn Door Lock assembly

    I pulled the cylinder out so I could see it better and that does indeed look like it. I will run by the dealer and see if they have one in stock, otherwise I found them on Ebay with a week or so shipping. Would like to have it sooner but we'll see...thanks!

    6.2 Factory Cruise Control removal?

    Hi. My 87 came with factory cruise control. PO said it used to work but now doesn't. I don't use cruise even in new cars, so I figure I'll just remove the whole assembly. I figure I can easily enough remove the module and all the wiring and lines, but i want to make sure there's nothing I need...

    Suburban Barn Door Lock assembly

    OK so here's the diagram https://www.lmctruck.com/1973-91-chevy-gmc/liftgate-cargo-door/csb-1973-91-cargo-components Looks like I have cylinder #7 in place, and I guess the clip is 19? their diagram is a little unclear to me as it's the assembly behind the little rectangular access panel. I...

    Suburban Barn Door Lock assembly

    Hi. For the lock on the barn doors on my '87 Suburban, the key just spins back and forth. So I pulled off the trim, and found that the latch piece that flips the lock rods up and down has fallen off the cylinder shaft (if that makes sense). However, I can't see how it attaches to keep it in...

    LED Dome Lights?

    Howdy. When the PO removed the headliner in my 87 Suburban, apparently they yanked it out and so both interior dome light fixtures had the plastic splintered. Ironically, the lights still work, just bulbs and wires hanging down. Since i have to get new fixtures anyway, I was just wondering if...

    Thanks! I was looking at that brush guard you had for sale too...let me know if you change your mind later on and want to sell it. If I could make it fit an 87 bumper I'd be interested...

    Thanks for the reply, I've got an 87 so that would work well. I can't seem to send a PM either, so I guess I better keep posting to get my count up. I am definitely interested though. I'm not sure when I'd be in Salisbury again but we could work something out. Engine wise I've got the 6.2...

    Thanks for the reply, I was actually just trying to reply to your ad, but I guess I don't have enough posts yet to do that. I'm looking for a floor section with the 3rd row seat brackets if the one you are parting out has that, let me know. I've been to Salisbury many times, got some family...
