Not many updates lately. Been driving the suburban about once a week to keep it fresh, plus its more enjoyable for cruising than my daily driver. Haven't fixed the sloppy steering yet, sounds like from others that it doesn't really go away. It doesn't cause me issues though. Changed the...

They're pretty good vehicles. 1997 will have the more updated vortec motor which makes better power/torque and slightly better fuel economy. I'm sure there are other changes as well but I think that's the most significant. I've been daily driving mine now for a few weeks and other than some...

Not many updates lately. Been busy with work and fixing up the house. Also been chasing a dtc 36 (idle speed control actuator fault?) that I haven't been able to pin down for find any fixes on within the web. These TBI trucks are easy to diagnose when it comes to their issues but fixing the...

Got most of the interior back in this past weekend and finally took it a good shakedown run since its all legally drive-able now. A few things I learned; big blocks love oil and don't like to rev high, the steering and front suspension needs a lot of attention, and my a/c fan only works on high.

Not a huge update but got some more work done on the interior. It's now fully drive-able and more clean and comfy to be in. Anyone interested in installing vinyl carpet yourself, I recommend doing it on a nice warm day so the vinyl conforms to your floor better. I'm still fighting it and even...

That sounds like a reasonable thing. As for the cats, I don't know. I'll have to take a closer look but it doesn't affect drivability so far. There's certainly an exhaust leak though somewhere before the muffler. The floorboard fix came out good. Use rivets to attach it to the existing good...

I was able to find that spring and associated pieces but everything in there looked fairly new and the spring had plenty of spring left in it. Put new connectors on the fuel injectors, new o2 sensor, coolant temp sensor, and idle air control valve. Still running rich. I get dark exhaust smoke...

Funny you mention that. I'm currently having issues with it running rich. I can't seem to find any info on a fuel pressure regulator for the tbi unit. Any info you can provide on that?

Few more updates; finished pulling out the rest of the interior that needs replaced or cleaned. Found a pretty decent sized hole in my driver's floor board. Just another thing to fix I suppose. Some more sensors and other misc. parts came in today, which will get put in once I get all the...

I finally found an incarnation of my dream vehicle last week at public auction, no less. Its a 1995 Chevy Suburban K2500 that includes: 7.4 TBI motor, 4L80E transmission, 241 transfer case, 4.10 gears front and rear, and seating for up to 9 people! I was looking for a square body one but up...

That'd be cool. Haven't met any over Landers here yet. At least not any that claimed to be.

Great looking rig. Nice to see another member here in Alaska. I'm in anchorage myself.

Hello all. My name is Zach. Located in anchorage, Alaska. Current rig: 2012 Nissan Frontier sv4x4 I'd rate my experience as above beginner but far from expert level. I'm fairly decent at driving off the beaten path, being an active duty air force heavy equipment operator. I camped a lot in...
