Just recently pick up this 99 Burb, for what I think is a steal. The 2nd owner was not prepared to invest the money to chase down an intermittent stalling problem and moved on to a new truck. after a few months of no takers I made an offer and he accepted. The truck is an LT and is full load including leather. I'm intertested in finding an OEM front split bench in pwer/leather to replace the captains chairs. Is there any such thing?
So far I have changes all fluids, replaced the Lift pump with an OEM delco, replaced oil,air,fuel filters,removed the muffler and soot trap and replace with 3" pipe all the way back. replaced a few nuisance items and getting ready for a major clean.
I also removed the running boards, silly looking mudflaps and bug deflector and added a front air dam.
I have a new PMD/Heat sink and a new set of shocks waiting to be installed. I also just picked up a set of OEM H2 wheels and am currently in the process of choosing tires...settled in on the idea of a 285/70/17. Hoping to drop HWY rpm a bit as the truck has 4.10's
Currently getting about 15.2 MPG with mostly hwy driving, and hoping to increase that to 19- 20mpg.....Is this realistic?And if so what path should I take to achieve this? I read some mileage threads that seem to mostly have generic ideas...looking for maintenance/tuning suggestions
I'm considering a heath PCM/turbomaster in my quest for better power, and will be adding guages before hand.
I have been lurking here for a bit and found alot of great information, so thanks in advance to everyone here for the future inputs.
Cheers!
