    Which upgraded fan is better?

    Yeah, Matt, I'm with you on the plow. I'm hoping the fan mod will do the trick this year for driving with the plow on. And that's where control of the electric would be nice to kick on the minute I pull out of a lot. I can plow all night with no heat issues, but on the road, it's touch...

    Update: Steering Knuckle. etc

    Your gonna hate me now. I think I've got a pair of bare knuckles laying around somewhere from a frame swap on my 99. (resurrected from a drunk hitting a tree)

    Which upgraded fan is better?

    I wonder how a pair of electric fans like on 05 or so up would work. That's what's on my Escalade with 6.0.

    Brake Rotor Removal - Suburban 2500 4WD

    I've never had a ball joint that wouldn't succomb to a pair of 3lb hammers, no matter how frozen.

    Front Receiver hitch on 95 Suburban

    I had a front mount on receiver on a 98 chevy I had, for a winch. I built mine, mounted with the tow hook bolts.

    Brake Rotor Removal - Suburban 2500 4WD

    Careful use of a torch to melt candle was into the threads has proven time and again to beat any penetrating fluid for me.

    Got the burb, Got issues with it.

    Nobby, not to get too far off topic here, but enlighten us on alternator upgrades. My stock unit barely holds up during plow season on my 99 Sub. I tend to not let others drive it, as I know to avoid what I have learned to refer to as 'happy hands', also avoid needless lights, etc. I've...

    What is the best rear A/C line fix for our 1998 Suburban?

    The only problem with the ones in the ebay link is that the factory fittings are often so oxidized, they are difficult to separate without destroying the other side, specifically the male fitting off the rear evaporator. Jeff, the napa line is 3.99/foot, plus the fittings I mentioned above. I...

    What is the best rear A/C line fix for our 1998 Suburban?

    IIRC, each fitting is 15-20 bucks, so, max, fittings would be 80. Then hose is a per foot price, I can't recall how much, but it wasn't bad. Even if it was $5/ft, I don't think you'ld have more than 20-25 feet total, for both lines, so I'd guess $200 or less. I've got some business at Napa...

    5spd to 6spd

    I don't believe a short bed dually was ever offered from GM. Late offerings in the GMT 400 platform did include a 4dr short bed, I think in 99 and 2000 only, so they are rare.

    What is the best rear A/C line fix for our 1998 Suburban?

    Should work. I've got a copper fitting up to the rear evap, off who-knows-what, as I had to slice off the frozen nut with a cut-off wheel on the original fitting. Getting the fittings to match up if you go all the way to the evap would be the issue. So you may have to cut short of that...

    What is the best rear A/C line fix for our 1998 Suburban?

    On a quiet evening, after giving mine a shot of refrigerant, I could hear it. Squirt bottle and dish soap verified bubbles. You can also look for tracking of oil on the lines, but like I said earlier, it's probably leaking where the lines are covered with plastic. I'd cut the whole line out.

    What is the best rear A/C line fix for our 1998 Suburban?

    The one I fixed was over 2 years ago, no problems. It has a crimped steel fitting over the rubber, then has a compression fitting to slide over the existing line. It is a/c barrier hose from NAPA
