    Need some honest opinions on possible purchase PLEASE HELP.

    I'm going reiterate what others have said. Having owned a 95 Diesel Suburban for 17 years and a 6.2 Sub for 4 years before that, I like the Diesels. But I don't know that I would recommend one. If you know what you are getting and it is what you want, then go for it. But they are not...

    What is the latest and greatest in the engine oil cooler line world? I may need a ki

    I guess I'm not understanding what you are doing here. Is the Tee on the supply or return? Don't the filter and cooler share a supply and return? Seems to me you want both inline, but maybe I'm missing something.

    What is the latest and greatest in the engine oil cooler line world? I may need a ki

    I bought a Tru Cool oil cooler and made up my own hoses with Earls components. Pipe to AN straight adapter in the cooler and (as I recall) 45 degree bent tube hose ends. I have oil squirters, so I went with -10 (5/8") hose. Adding a tee is no problem if you make you own hoses, but...

    Suburban AC system rebuild from hell

    One thing to check is the recirculation door. The control unit and/or the motor can fail and the door will always be on fresh air even though the light shows recirc. You have to crawl down and look at the door while the engine is running to check it. If it is hot out and the door is in fresh...

    Which vendor sells Diamond Eye?

    If you use the math in the article, you come up with this (based on a single exhaust pipe) Now the article is based on a NA engine, turbos may be different, but I doubt that much different 3" pipe has an area of about 7", which flows about 800 CFM, which is good for about 365 HP before you get a...

    The OEM coolers and many of the replacements are (Dana) Long Tru-Cool coolers. They can be mounted with the fittings up, down or sideways. They are also made with several larger passages at the top to flow better when cold. You can read all about it here

    Suburban Dual Air Upgrades

    Just a quick update. I replaced the control panel with no change. I have ordered the auxillary fan, so will see how that works. One problem I noticed, when the fan is on high, it pulls the recirc door to outside air, regardless of where the recirc switch is. On low fan blower speeds, the...

    Suburban Dual Air Upgrades

    I have a 1995 Suburban with front & rear air. A while back, I changed the compressor, Front evaporator, condenser, orifice tube. Also had to replace the rubber hoses on the compressor (used genuine GM parts). I used the best parts I could find, the cond & compressor were ACDelco. Also...

    DB2 conversion issues/solutions

    I tried every way possible to synch up the original APP to the cable. Had slotted arms, adjustable rods, never could get it to work right. Hard 1-2 shifts mostly, if that worked, then something else didn't. Factory TCM can be had pretty cheaply, everything works as it should. On 2WD, its...

    1500 vs 2500 suburban?

    I have the original sales literature for 1995 Subs and it list only 3.42 for 1500 6.5 Subs. 2500 could be 3.73 or 4.10.

    1500 vs 2500 suburban?

    A 6.5 engine. All gas 1500 Subs are light duty. All 6.5 1500 are basically 3/4 tons. 8 lug wheels, big brakes, etc. As stated, 2500s have full floating rear, 1500s don't. Also 1500's have a small air dam, 2500s don't. 2500's have slightly higher GVW. Other than that, about the same. Oh...

    Where to get new battery cables

    I had a local battery shop make up new cables for me. In addition to using larger cables, I changed to top post connectors as well. All the cables were replaced and upsized, including the wire to the fusebox. I ran both grounds to the engine, then had cables made from the engine back to the...

    Timing chain replacement

    Also called a duplex chain. Use to be you could find a USA made set with sprockets & chain for not a lot more than just a chain. Can't say for sure, but have heard Cloyes are now made in China. Its really no problem just replacing the chain and keeping the factory sprockets. Finding a USA...

    Help: Poor heat in 99 Suburban

    There are three doors in the HVAC system. The recirc button moves the fresh air/recirculate door. You can watch it move, its on the bottom of the heater box in the right side footwell. You kind of have to fold yourself under there, but if you look at the air intake, you will see a flap, that...

    Suburban Renewal – 15,000 miles later

    I am holding two 2WD motor mounts because, as the original picture caption states, the worn one is the cheap aftermarket motor mount after about 15,000 miles, the new one is the GM Chinese motor mount. Since my Sub is 2WD, I removed a 2WD mount and, oddly enough, installed a new 2WD mount in...
