    Hey gang, I'm back!

    Feels like it's been longer than May since I've been here. I lost my turbo manifold for my 6.2l sidewinder kit. Been looking like a madman for it or a replacement. I could find them all day long until I needed one lol. Hope everyone is well, going to spend the next few days catching up -B.R.

    Stopping in to say hi! Been a minute

    or 12 lol. I retired and am busier than ever. Watching the grandkids grow like weeds. I have an older neighborhood kid that's been hanging around. He shows some interest in my trucks, maybe I can pass some knowledge on before my time is through. Hope everyone is doing well. -Ray

Just something comforting and nostalgic for me, listening to it purr while parked in some strange place every night. And the simplicity of the older rigs. Loved my burb when it ran. Got the same...

    turbo rebuilding shop recommendation

    I picked up a used Banks sidewinder kit for my old '90 Suburban. The turbo has just the slightest bit of fore & aft play. I want to have it rebuilt & balanced just for peace of mind when I install the kit...thanks in advance...

    Just registered, Saying Hi.

    Hello all. I'm Big Ray and I live in Eastern NC. I've been the proud owner of a 1990 R2500 'burb with a 6.2L. It has 285K+ miles, and I love the hell out of it. It's a grumpy old truck, noisy and slow. Perfect for a grumpy old Grandpa who also noisy and slow! My Grandkids love it, my Darling...
