Hey all,

I've got two square body Suburbans right now, but they aren't my first ones. Back in 2020, I bought a 1989 V2500 350TBI Suburban with a TH400 sight-unseen from Montana, shipped it to my brother in Oregon, and we road tripped it cross country back to Ohio. I unfortunately had to sell that to my uncle, but I'd love to buy it back someday.

In the mean time, I bought two square body Suburbans from a friend of my aunt in Colorado Springs back in October 2022- a 1989 V2500 350TBI/TH400 and a 1987 1500 4wd with a 700R4 and a 454TBI from a newer truck or Burb that the previous owner swapped in. The deal on both was just too good to pass up. The '87 runs and drives great after I replaced the fuel pump and an injector, and the '89 ran and drove great until about a month ago, but I signed up to see if I can troubleshoot the no-start issue. I'm getting the bug to LS swap the '89!

Look forward to seeing everyone's squares!

-Kelly

Howdy neighbor! I'm down in the Washington CH area, but grew up just west of Columbus and worked in Columbus for 14 years. It's great to see fellow Suburban enthusiasts popping up!

Could be the fuel pump? That's what happened to my '90 Burb.

Welcome! I'm in Coumbus, too! Hilliard/Dublin area.
Right on! I'm over in Hilliard about every day and I used to work in Dublin. My Suburbans are back home where I grew up, though, towards the Lancaster area.
