    I'm back with a keeper. .

    Thank you, they even took my old starter which was my core. I am not quite sure how to work something out with them. I am not the type of person that likes confrontation but I am not looking forward to dealing with these guys because I know that once they get your money they usually never want...

    Thank you, I also feel for you. Life is full of its ups and down and sometimes I can't tell the difference between up, down or left & right but I just keep my head high and keep going. Life is what you make of it and the mind is a very powerful thing. Well as I mentioned I just got my truck...

    Hey all, sorry I haven't been active but I'm back. Still have my 1999 Suburban that I started this thread about. I just turned 190,000 miles just yesterday. She was down for over 2 months while I had real life problems. So I just started driving her again. Getting ready to do some more upgrades...

    Oh... other shitty thing. The rims are not 16x10.... they are 16.5x9.75. Anyone want to buy them from me? I'm not going to use them because I don't want to buy new tires. My tires are like new and my rims on her now are 16 so my tires can't go on those rims. Anyone want to buy them them let me...

    Okay this is weird. I needed to use to truck a few days ago because My girls car battery was dead so I needed to use the truck to go buy her a new battery. I get the wires on the side that smelted the battery cable holder. The second battery it happened to was a dual post... top and side mount...

    Thanks for the input and help on this one. I checked the guage of the positive to positive cable going from battery to battery and it's 4guage. I will be swapping it out to 2 guage. I still have to shop around for some good batteries with top & side posts. I also need to find the new battery...

    Okay have a problem with her. Yesterday I wanted to install my bazooka tube. There are wires already ran from the PO. The power wire was disconnected in the engine bay. I connect the wire. Then go to start her up and the starter gets stuck and won't disengage. By the time I disco the wires on...

    Here in MB no vehicles are allowed on the beaches as far as I've heard. Not really into surf side cruising anyway. I can understand why wider tires would end up sinking in and get stuck. Good thoughts on the matter though it's something a lot of people would never think of or consider.

    Thanks for the input. After sleeping on it not sure it would be worth the work and after your reply definatley not worth it. I am just going to fix up my interior best I can.

    I found a mint condition 1994 leather interior with star customs wood kit. Now the dash is different then my 1999 and so are the door panels and maybe some other things I'm missing. If I decide to buy the complete interior can I do a complete swap using only factory pre drilled holes? Also what...

    Okay today my girl bought me some parts for my truck for my birthday. I got my 1999 Yukon Denali full center console. I am going to clean it up, then wet send it down and paint it. My burbs interior is tan or like a sand color. How do I match the paint? Will my RPO codes help? If so here they are...

    Thanks guys. I like those rims too. I'm not really into all the new rims they have out these days. I'm more into some older style rims which are no longer in production. So They don't make them anymore and in excellent condition from the sellers pictures and description. I will have to buy some...

    Thanks Will. I like them. They are 16x10. I am going to need new tires. I'm going to buy some 2 inch spacers for the rear wheels so they sit flush with the fronts. I'm not going to put them on right now I'm going to wait. I feel I have other things that are more important. Like the oil cooler...

    Also what kind of rims? I'm looking at two different sets of aluminum I'm not crazy about chrome due to pitting and flaking off. Here are pics of the two sets. One set is no longer produced. They will need a good cleaning and center caps. The other are new eagle bullet hole style. I'm happy...
