    Dies on speed bumps/sudden spots

    I'm pretty sure it is that carb issue where it dumps fuel in since when it restarts there is a huge cloud of black smoke. When it happens am I better of putting gas pedal all the way down while cranking, or doing nothing and just cranking it until it starts again? I know on newer cars putting...

    Dies on speed bumps/sudden spots

    So, I should take it to the shop to check and adjust the float? I don't understand carburetors.

    Dies on speed bumps/sudden spots

    Could the mechanical fuel pump wearing out cause the issue I am describing? And I downloaded wiring diagram but holy cow... that's a lot of wiring!

    Dies on speed bumps/sudden spots

    Alright... so I need to check all grounds and maybe clean them. Since I'm having other electrical issues (occasional no crank no start and low voltage) this makes sense. Do you know if there is a diagram so I can do this? Fuel pumps are cheap, so I wouldn't mind replacing it, but I personally...

    Screw California - Passed Smog Except for Gas Cap/Evap

    Yeah, all my newer vehicles have had that thing. Today I got gas with the old burb and placing it on the rear tire worked perfectly.

    Dies on speed bumps/sudden spots

    Dies on speed bumps/sudden stops OK... this is a wierd one... Literally 5 mins after buying the truck I was driving to my friends place to pick him up so he could drive my other car home. Anyway, his apartment complex has some nasty speed bumps. I take them too fast... the burb would die...

    How Good is my gas mileage?

    When I owned a completely stock 95 Suburban 350 TBI iit got 11 average - that was about 75% city 25% highway. I'd say a lifted K5 won't do any better than that, if not worse. I'm grateful I have no idea what my MPG is since my odo/speedo are wrong and the gas gauge doesn't work.

    Stereo install complete with speakers in doors with power windows

    I just put a Pioneer AVH-X2800BS in my Envoy. It's really great not just having Bluetooth audio but full control over playlists, etc. for Spotify through the head unit. That said, double-DIN won't work in a square body :'( Guess I'll go with a Pioneer DEH-X6800BT because it claims...

    Bvllsh!t on craigslist.

    For some reason older Suburbans don't hold their value as well as a pickup. Even a long bed pickup is worth more than a Suburban usually. I don't quite understand, because I think Suburbans are more useful and look better... but I guess nobody asked me :P All that doesn't apply just to square...

    Ignition switch vs ignition lock

    I am guessing I/P is "instrument panel" but don't quote me on that...

    That's an incredible install job! How do you like that head unit? Does it work well for streaming audio over Bluetooth with Android?

    Screw California - Passed Smog Except for Gas Cap/Evap

    Well, it passed. Yay $9 fuel cap from O'Reillys. While we're talking about gas caps, where do y'all put yours when fueling, since on a Suburban there's no bed to put it in... I end up putting it on the ground but I'd rather not do that.

    Installing Tach in a Non-Ghetto Way?

    Eh, I'll go for the nice tach that goes into the fuel gauge spot after all. It just looks too good to pass up. Will have to save up for it so can't get it right away. I just don't see any solutions that are cheaper but look great.

    Lens restoration

    I'm really sorry to say this but I hope you don't regret that purchase. I had an 07 Colorado for a year and it was the worst GM I have ever owned. 0/10 would not recommend. That said, wow, that 3M kit is really, really good.

    awesome, thanks. i'll try it. is this the right one? It says "vented" all options are "vented" though I'm a tad confused why I would want vented...

    well my suburban has a brake light in that spot. i might go the ashtray route.

    Screw California - Passed Smog Except for Gas Cap/Evap

    Would a bad fuel cap cause it to fail the evap as well?
