Pumping gas is a pain!
Hello all, hope the summer finds you turning wrenches. Quick question. Whenever I use public gas stations with gas fume capture hoses, the gas almost immediately backs up and shut the flow off. It also usually spits fuel out onto the ground. I have to hold the hose at the perfect angle and pump...- Gardendelite

1990 Suburban V1500 - Forum Rookie
Sweet ride. I can appreciate the color. Mine came from a rattle can until I could decide what to do, The paint was chipping off in silver dollar size flakes and the constant moisture in the PNW was causing problems. The rattle can bought me some time (5 years and counting) and now that I...- Gardendelite

1990 Suburban 454 Oil Pressure jumping
PS, I have a 75 K10 with a mild 350. I ran with low oil pressure for almost 10 years. My son borrowed the truck and it overheated. Not sure what cause what but it appears to have blown one of the main bearings. I will likely never know what happened but it ran like a champ with low oil...- Gardendelite

Best Door Hinge Lubricant
I confess to using WD40. My door hinges were the worst and WD cleared it right up. I don't use the truck much so the doors don't see more use. I have used various lubricants over the years but I find WD worked the best.- Gardendelite

New Member - 88 Suburban in Arkansas
Hello from PNW. Can't help you with the paint codes but I am not sure they would match the paint still. I would eyeball it with something off the shelf. I have used LMC. They are a bit slow to ship but most places are. I ordered a wing vent from them once. The vent worked fine but the paint was...- Gardendelite

Welcome aboard from Maple Valley, WA. It seems to me that you are busy enough, I would go with the crate and be done with it. Kids don't stay young for long. Save the rebuild for the next time- Gardendelite

New Member and new owner of a 1976 K20
Greetings from the PNW ( or Pacific North Wet- intentional misspelling). How did a central valley, sun loving California kid end up in this North American rain forest oh, right, the wife loves the rain. Does make it hard to work on much outside. You sound like a go getter. Welcome to the party.- Gardendelite

Stuttering/Hesitation/down on power & I kinda got electrocuted a little ;(
Don't recall you saying what the mileage is? I have a 94 burb, had a stumble that a new distributor fixed. My first thought was timing chain needs replaced. A worn chain can affect timing.- Gardendelite
