    What did you do with your GMT400 today...or yesterday....

    This is true for the foam and upholstery part. The cheaper salvage seats typically have the air bag blown in the seatback, but to date I have not used the seatback, only the seat bottom.

    What did you do with your GMT400 today...or yesterday....

    As you can see the old was getting ratty. It had 11 years and 394K miles on it. The replacement was from a 2018 with 88K miles on it, so the material and foam were in much better condition. The material faded because they left the seat in the wreck without the doors, exposed to weather for over...

    Applied the fabric paint to the seat and it came out pretty good….

    What did you do with your GMT400 today...or yesterday....

    The right front passenger seat in the 2014 4Runner was getting pretty ratty after 11 years and 393.7K miles. On our trip down down Montana, I picked up a seat from a salvager in Salt Lake City. The material and foam were ok, but the black material did suffer fade from being out in the sun. Still...

    Brakes on the 4Runner are pretty damn good compared to the stock GMT-400 Suburbans. I finally replace rear calipers back in April of this year due to uneven pad wear. Replaced rear rotors at the same time. Raybestos slotted rotors have been the best for us.

    Changed the front rotors on the 2014 4Runner at 392K miles. Rotors had developed a noticeable lip after 150+K miles and a noticeable wop, wop, woo while braking from 30 mph to a stop. That is now gone.

    2003 Tahoe w/ 4.8 V8

    Looking at a 2003 Tahoe with 4.8 V8 and 123K miles for $2K. Seller’s listing says it has electrical issues. When I inquired, he said there is a constant drain on the battery. He believes it’s the stereo, but does not have the time to figure out. How would you go about troubleshooting this...

    Walbro Lift Pump Fail

    I’ve replaced the tanks and lines on my ‘99 and ‘94. At this age, they are done.

    This is a little story about karma. On Saturday I had seen a nice wall art stainless trout on Facebook market for $150 and it was local in Stevensville, MT. I moved too slow on it as I wanted approval from my wife. Seller said I was second in line and marked it as pending sale. After returning...

    Hard Start after some maintenance

    That does not rule out worn injectors.

    Hard Start after some maintenance

    White smoke points to injectors. I would assume they are originals and have 250K kilometers (or 155K miles) on them. Been there and old injectors will blow white smoke, especially in really cold weather.

    I got rid of all my steel wheels. Just gave them to the tire shop when I had new tires installed on my Alcoas.

    GMT 800 Brake Conversion > Silverado HD 2500

    Well that makes it clearer. Originally you posted “Has anyone tried this mod on a GMT 800 diesel.” FWIW I did this mod on 1994 and 1999 Suburburban K2500s with 6.5 diesels. It’s a great mod.

    GMT 800 Brake Conversion > Silverado HD 2500

    GMT 800 diesel should already have GMT 800 brakes. So not sure about your inquiry.
