    1986 1 ton 454 Trans swap

    I have battled this decision for the entire 5 years I've owned my suburban. I've convinced myself to go all three routes at different points in my life, and I have yet to do any of them. I don't daily drive mine, but I used to tow with it regularly. The 454/465 combo is strong as an ox, and I...

    I actually bought a set of these brackets already. Thank you though.

    Suburban Running Boards

    Yep...those are the brackets I thought I was missing. Thanks for the pics! Now I just gotta find some, or make some.

    Suburban Running Boards

    I picked up a cheap used set of aluminum DeeZee running boards for my suburban off craigslist. They came with a couple of bolts and brackets, but what he gave me does not appear to be a complete hardware set. Can someone who has running boards on their suburban take some pictures and show me...

    Dual Battery Isolator Wiring

    I've read through that page a couple times now, and have looked at multiple VSRs for dual battery setups. Can you help me understand where the alternator is supposed to connect? Do you run it to the VSR, the starting battery, the auxiliary battery, or some combination of them?

    Dual Battery Isolator Wiring

    Send link for a “good isolator”. I’m already disappointed with the charging distribution of this isolator.

    Dual Battery Isolator Wiring

    @Daveo91Burb I did find your info helpful. Unfortunately my setup is a little different (non-factory). I was trying to modify an existing dual battery setup that was installed by the previous owner, but make it work to suit my needs without redoing everything. The “isolator” that the P.O. had...

    Dual Battery Isolator Wiring

    https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/RSE2134521 I am about 90% sure this is the alternator I just put on the truck.

    Dual Battery Isolator Wiring

    I am thinking I might have got caught in the squarebody year trap (73-87 + 88-91 suburbans). My gut is telling me that I need the isolator without the exciter wire terminal. But, I will gladly hear any and all opinions/advice/suggestions!

    Dual Battery Isolator Wiring

    I just put 2 brand new Optima Yellow Top AGM batteries in the burb, along with a brand new 105 amp alternator, and a Cole Hersee 48122 battery isolator for the dual battery setup. The battery isolator looks like this: I selected this particular model partially because im a sucker for blue...

    Bump for a good seller! Items were exactly as advertised and in good shape. Shipping was timely, and packaging was very well done. Thanks!

    89 suburban parts

    Follow up question: do you have the front inside corner seat mounting bracket for the bucket seats? They would have been welded to the floor pan, maybe the section you cut out?? See picture

    Military beadlocks 8-lug

    Here ya go. These folks are a reputable offroad wheel building company. They get a lot of H1 wheels in stock. Some they sell as is and some they recenter for custom applications. http://www.trailworthyfab.com/H1-Hummer-Wheels/ Something worth noting is that these wheels are 16.5" in...

    Parting out 1990 GMC Suburban

    Does this have an auxiliary battery tray located on the driver's side?

    89 suburban parts

    Was this a factory dual battery burb? I am looking for a tray for an auxiliary battery (driver's side).

    Suburban Bucket Seat Bracket

    Sure! I could use as many detailed measurements as you're willing to provide. If you want to trace that bad boy on paper, make a mold of it, or 3d print me one, that would be great too! I'm joking (kinda). Some photos and some measurements would probably be helpful. But, in all honesty...

    Suburban Bucket Seat Bracket

    Unfortunately mine is not one of those burbs that had bucket seats that were subsequently swapped for a bench. I am on the hunt for this bracket (I have also seen it referred to as a seat tower or riser as well). Anyone here got a pair of them laying around? Does anyone else remember this...

    Suburban Bucket Seat Bracket

    Yes, the rails are there. But my understanding is that there is a bracket welded to the floor of factory bucket-equipped suburbans that the front interior corner of rail bolts to (see pictures below - pictures originally posted by @crazy4offroad and @J Knight in another thread). I need...

    Suburban Bucket Seat Bracket

    Yes, another bucket seat swap thread... After passively looking for a nice set of blue buckets to replace the bench in my Suburban for a couple years, I stumbled across some on Craigslist yesterday. So I bought them last night (along with the matching center console). I'm very pleased with my...

    Factory dual battery wiring

    This is a great thread. Just stumbled across it this morning while perusing. I have a dual battery setup in my suburban. I am currently dealing with a few electrical gremlins, and I'm fairly certain they are battery related. I know my batteries are older, so I plan to replace them, but I...

    DIY4X dash

    I vote do it! I am contemplating doing it in my suburban. I think the DIY4X dash is simple and clean looking. You get to start with a blank slate. No funky curves or miscellaneous tabs or sheet metal bends to work with/around. If you want to add switches for accessories, it would be easy to...

    Got this green truck...1985 CUCV M1028

    I really like this truck. That's a solid list of parts/upgrades you've put into it so far.

    Rear bumper ideas. Build to come asap

    Bored at work. Just read through this whole thread expecting to see some build pics. What happened here?! Did you ever get anything built? I hope you're not still towing with that "hitch" setup you had. As a side note, my front bumper is an air tank and it works great. I use a York belt...

    Still have these and looking to get them out of my way. Price is now $1,000.

    Tires and Beadlock Wheels

    This is a long shot and not really squarebody specific, so if this isn't allowed, mods feel free to delete. Or if it belongs in a different spot, please move. I have a set of four 39.5" tires with beadlocks that came off a Toyota based rock crawler buggy I bought last year. They were a spare...
