    Leaf spring bushing destroyed. What would cause this?

    I have a 4 inch Off Road Design lift with their custom ez ride leaf springs. The bushing on the rear end of the front left leaf spring is destroyed, while the ones on the right side leaf spring are in perfect condition. Check out the picture to see what I mean. Questions are: 1. What would...

    Problems with lift kit (ORD) install...

    Lastly, we noticed the entire right side Sway Bar Disconnect mechanism had just fallen off...I called ORD and they said they never heard of that happening...cost me $60 for them to send a new one. WTF?!

    Problems with lift kit (ORD) install...

    Moving towards the back we noticed that the rear right shock was mounted directory through a hole in the frame (the left side has a mounting point on top of the frame) and the hole had gotten massively worn out causing the metal of the frame to cut through about 90% of the mounting bolt?! WTF...

    Problems with lift kit (ORD) install...

    I recently had my local shop install a 4 inch suspension lift kit from Off Road Designs on my 1990 4x4 Suburban. Got all the bells whistles like extended shock mounts and shackles etc. Spent the extra money to have a top of the line kit, was stoked. Since then I've driven about ~400 miles. Last...

    All right guys thanks for all the help, you guys never fail to help a noob out. In the end I've decided to go ahead and upgrade to the Warn Manual Locking Hubs. Which of course are out of stock everywhere...had to overpay ($225 for Warn Hubs) on Ebay but oh well. I've also gotten all the...

    Please help me figure out this noise! Video included.

    Ok I've done some research and answered some of my questions above but of course now have more. I've learned I have the auto locking hubs and they are probably bad. I'm going to replace them and replace all the seals and bearings as demonstrated in this video: My question is should I...

    Please help me figure out this noise! Video included.

    ...well I've never serviced the hubs. In fact I don't even really know what hubs are or if mine are manual or auto locking. :( But I did just look up a video and saw a guy replacing his and I bet you are 100% correct that they are having something to do with this, the sound seems to come...

    Please help me figure out this noise! Video included.

    Ever since I've had my 1990 Suburban, about a year, every now and then it begins to make a Clicking noise from somewhere under the front of the truck like near the tire or axle. It sounds almost like a card in a bicycle spoke. Then when I stop there is a heavy Clunk sound and feel that comes...

    Help finding Rock Sliders that fit my 1990 Suburban?

    I have researched here, seen the "Nerf bars" thread, and looked online. Yet I still am confused and haven't found a good product to order that I'm confident will fit. I need beefy rock sliders that will protect the body of mySuburban PLUS act as a lifting point for a Hi Lift jack so I can...

    Engine shut off while driving my '90 Suburban. Sup with that?

    Just wanted to update that I finally replaced the ICM in my Suburban and my truck has not stalled out since! Very happy it was such an easy fix. I had inquired in this thread about saving a few bucks and purchasing a cheap ICM that was half the price of one sold by AC Delco, but based on the...

    Tell me more about "Big Blocking that Bitch"! I'm such a noob I have an idea what you mean but not exactly. Sounds up my alley though! How much would it cost?

    Noob here looking for help deciding wether to purchase a new crate motor or do an engine re-fresh

    Hey thanks so much for the reply. $1600 for engine swap isn't so bad, though I do live in California so I might be smart to double that. Even so not that crazy and the thought of having a brand spankin' new engine is pretty tempting. Regarding why it was stalling. I had been driving the...

    I've got a 1990 Suburban with 220k miles. The engine is certainly tired and recently started shutting off. I've looked into fixing this which I may still do, but at this point since my goal for this rig is to have it be completely trust worthy going long distances where ever I want, I've began...

    Engine shut off while driving my '90 Suburban. Sup with that?

    hmm ok thanks, I will check the ground strap if I can find it... Are there any other ways to tell if the fuel pump is going bad?

    Engine shut off while driving my '90 Suburban. Sup with that?

    So I found that an ICM at Napa Autoparts runs about $80. But then I found it on this site for under $30 and people give it good reviews. Is this one of those parts its better to spend more money on or they pretty much all the same? Thinking if I went for the cheaper one I would buy two and...

    Engine shut off while driving my '90 Suburban. Sup with that?

    Hey thanks, I just looked that up and its definitely a better guess than anything I could up with. Awesome that it's a relatively cheap fix too! I'm gonna go buy a spare one like you have.

    Engine shut off while driving my '90 Suburban. Sup with that?

    Was driving the other day and all of a sudden my engine was off. I lost power steering and power brakes, was kinda scary and thank god I was going slow at the time. My lights and radio were still on but no engine. I pulled over, turned the key off and then it started again. Since then I've...

    Should I service in anyway the transmission on my 1990 Suburban with over 200k miles?

    I bought this Suburban a few months ago, the truck shifts gears perfectly, but general wisdom says to change all the fluids because who knows what the PO did. However, I've been researching about the Transmission and I've come across multiple threads in other forums that say things like: "At...
