    What have you done to your square lately??

    Just be careful. My 96 Yukon I had for a while had one of those and it got stuck on and drained my battery.

    Is a rollback tow truck easy to register as a personal vehicle? This would sure be practical! http://sacramento.craigslist.org/cto/5232009202.html Complete with American flag! http://merced.craigslist.org/cto/5214618195.html Back when I bought my 83 C20 the same people were trying to sell this...

    Minimize Shipping Cost at RockAuto.com!

    Just ordered all new steering and suspension components from RockAuto for my 1995 Suburban. Do I wish it was free shipping, of course, but it was still way cheaper than Amazon to get everything, even though they offer free shipping the items are just more expensive. The items were in two...

    IIHS test vehicles at my disposal

    The Cummins is the better engine but the rest of the Dodge truck is junk :) If they made a Chevy with a Cummins that would be cool. The Duramax is definitely better than whatever Powerstroke Ford is using this week.

    Yeah but that gasser engine can't roll coal - why else would you need a diesel??

    15's vs 16's?

    This. 16" gives you a lot more options and at the end of the day will probably save you money.

    Yeah I was thinking scam as well. I should call them to see what happens :) On one hand, passionate old truck owners don't call it a car, but then again plenty of them do... but it's not a car, it's a TRUCK!

    6.6L Duramax from a Silverado/Sierra HD would be my vote. And, uh, send one my way too :D

    How much MPG does your 454 get, and TBI conversion?

    +2MPG is significant. I do wonder, though, if the upgrade to the MSD was worth it just to get 1MPG more ;)

    How much MPG does your 454 get, and TBI conversion?

    Beyond there initially being so many things that can be wrong and cause it to not run right or not start at all I don't imagine the TBI will be less reliable than a carburetor. On the other hand, what other engines bolt right up to whatever tranny is behind the 454?

    How much MPG does your 454 get, and TBI conversion?

    Thank you for your input - this is the kind of advice I was looking for. If I get a carbed truck I would start with that and wait until I have everything together for the swap. Might take a while since I don't have much budget. In fact I have to pay a family member back some money and make...

    Need your opinion!

    I'm fairly certain that the BL kit includes steering and fuel tank extension. Bumper brackets and gap guards are optional.

    How much MPG does your 454 get, and TBI conversion?

    Huh... my 1995 Suburban half ton 4x4 with the 5.7L TBI gets 13MPG combined. I would hope that the big block truck would be at least the same. Sounds like it would - thank you :) Still curious about the TBI conversion - I have a history of not liking carburetors. Besides, I'm hoping that for the...

    How much MPG does your 454 get, and TBI conversion?

    http://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/cto/5192101690.html It's overpriced but it's a cool truck. Curious how many MPG a 454 typically gets and if anybody has done carburetor to TBI conversion and if it improved or decreased MPG. Thanks.

    A bit pricey but a pre-smog 454 would be cool. http://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/cto/5192101690.html

    Selling 1987 K10 lifted stepside truck

    I tried to tell one guy who almost bought my 83 C20 before I sold it about the forum but he didn't know what a forum was? I was like "it's an internet message board where people can sign up for free and discuss stuff" and he just stared at me blankly at which point I was like... "anyway, it's...

    Let's see your broken tool... o.0

    No pics but I broke a 3/8 extension and a 3/8 breaker bar trying to swap the wheels+tires from my 98 Silverado to my 95 Suburban before I sell the 98. Hopefully they will honor the warranty - metal shouldn't just break like that. I won't mention that I was jumping on it ;) And no, I was not able...
