Might be out there already, 454 swap into 89 sub
If the burb is a V series there might be an issue with motor mount brackets. I've never seen a '89-91 4x4 burb with a factory big block but there's a part number for the engine mounts on vehicles equipped as such. https://www.gmsquarebody.com/threads/88-91-suburban-4x4-motor-mount-brackets.15654/- skysurfer

Power Steering Pump Pulley
You're certainly not going to affect the pump shaft and the pulley seems to tolerate repeated removal. I went through a series of defective reman pumps and have taken the pulley off at least five times and it goes back together just fine. This is assuming you're using the proper puller and not...- skysurfer

Damn nice burb
ANY shade of brown would be fine, but that's the same light gray I have in mine. That just looks...wrong.- skysurfer

Junior Toy Corp Tricycle
Agreed. There may be similar ones like that out there but having the original seat, pedals, and hard rubber tires make yours much more valuable. Edit: Found that it is a Sky King model. Yours is in better condition than the one in this link with a price of $2400... -
Ingersol Rand / Campell Hausfeld
You buying online or in person? If you can look at each one you'll probably find that the tank is the only thing sourced from within the U.S. IR uses Emerson motors from Mexico (nothing wrong with that) and the pumps are from India. CH tends to have more of a consumer level image than IR, but...- skysurfer

I heat my seat the old fashioned way. Only problem is I have to drive around with the windows open. -

US General Tool Carts, Tool Chests, Tool Cabinets
Mine are a couple months shy of eight years of use and still look & work like new. Never had the space for any add-ons and even if I did HF discontinued the pebble finish paint so the current setup will have to do. That's something to think about HotRod, just because they have everything you... -

Don't forget there's potential to get some money back if you sell your old boxes. My early 80's C-man set went for $165 in a heartbeat, I should have asked closer to $200. I'd like to see one of those blue boxes get the blackout treatment. It sure helps the looks of the red ones. -
Burb rear bumper impact trim
That's a rough install if it was done by an importer. If it would pass inspection I'd move things around a bit. For signals I'd put amber bulbs where the reverse lights are and then install some small clear backup lights into the bumper. You would still have to deal with the hacked impact strip... -

Yeah, I'd like to see what that looks like. Strange that GM would specify something different for "down under" vehicles. -

Guess The Tool
These are made by the L.S. Starrett tool company. The longer one is 12" long and the shorter one is 5". They have rubber tips but you can remove the tips to reveal sharp points. The handles are fixed to the base and don't move. The shafts can be turned by hand which slowly rotates the dials on... -
R20 burb pulling left under brakes
The LSPV affects pressure to the rear brakes but equally side to side, so a pulling issue can't be pinned on that. Adjusting it to prevent rear lockup before the fronts is pretty easy. Clean off the end of the stem that sticks out of the round part of the proportioning valve and make a dot at... -
Damaged block from shipping!
I saw a gradual shift in policy during my 20 years at FedEx. It started out with "Send it on through" and attaching a note by the QA dept. acknowledging the damage and instructions to contact the shipper blah blah blah. FedEx finally realized this was costing them business and started reversing...- skysurfer

Damaged block from shipping!
I drove a regular package van for UPS during the Christmas rush. Part of our training was how to hide visibly damaged packages from the customer. The guy training me said if a package is damaged on one side, you carry the box with the damaged side against your chest and then as you put it down...- skysurfer

Little help needed with positioning OEM roof rack etc on my 88 Suburban
I have the rack but no air deflector. I'm measuring 8" from the outer lip of the barn door's rain gutter to the most rearward screw on the rack's footpad. Don't think the measurement is ultra critical, the passenger side is an even 8" but the driver's side is 8.25". Rack is straight despite the...- skysurfer

Rear bracket is located a couple inches aft of the front/rear door gap. Longer front bracket is 31" forward of that. Just those two. Let me know if you need any other pic angles.
