    95 6.5 Turbo vs. 96 6.5 Turbo

    I have a friend with a 1996 6.5 in a 3500 who found a replacement turbo off of a 1995 2500 Suburban. From what I have found, a 95 turbo is different that a 96 turbo. Is it possible to make the 95 turbo work on the 96 truck?

    I found this on another forum and couldn't resist posting it. Adding lights is one thing but this is a bit much.

    Wheeling the new Suburban

    So i picked up a 88 3/4 ton Suburban about a week ago. Devin and I went up to 7 mile off road park in Spokane today with a few friends to test the burban out. It did great for being stock suspension on 33" MT/R's. I ended up falling into a washout and got it stuck for a bit but got it out under...

    What does your truck weigh?

    I stopped in at a truck stop that was closed and drove over the scales because I was curious what my truck weighed. I scaled in at 8240 lbs. I had 2 people and their bags, a set of 235/85/16 tires and steel wheels for Devin, my canopy was on the truck, and my tool box had its usual things in it...

    LBZ Turbo Vane Position Sensor Replacement

    I recently had the vane position sensor go out on my 07. The symptoms were that there was hardly any boost between 1500-2500 RPM's. once you hit over 2500 RPM's it seemed to get full boost instantly. Another symptom was at idle, the vanes in the turbo would open and close all the time... This...

    Mud Flaps

    So I built these a while ago and just never got around to posting about them. I got tired of the mudflaps I had on the truck before, because they were screwed on to the fender and real close to the tire. I ended up ripping them off with my tire when I was at an offroad park. The new mud flaps...

    Winter time - Canopy and Winter Front go on

    Winter seems to have finally started here for us. The high temperatures have been anywhere from 34 down to today's high temp of 23. During the winter I put my canopy on the truck for that extra bit of dry storage. When the high temp for the day don't go above 40, I put on the Winter Front cover...

    Another Steering Failure with Cognito Braces

    The other night I pulled into my apartment parking lot, started to make a turn to back into a parking spot and I heard a very loud pop from the front end. So I stopped to look what it was and realized that when I jumped out of the truck that my steering wheel turned unusually easy. I crawled...

    With all of the retro styling... I didn't see this coming!

    Here is a new way to look at "Big Wheels". I found this online and I wasn't sure what to think. This was a project called "Hummer" for the Zoo Art Fair in London. The artist said his idea was to create a sculpture that combine art, engineering, and motoring. He definitely created something...

    Boost lag leads to bad vane position sensor

    I was having trouble creating boost between 1500-2300 rpm's and at idle the vanes in the turbo were opening and closing every 5 seconds or so. Then I got a CEL and took it to the dealer to check on. They read the codes as P003a (engine turbo boost controller) and P2563 (turbocharger vane control...

    07 Classic Cab Light Install

    Well I finally got the courage and took the drill to my cab. Personally, I'm not a big fan of the factory 01-07 GM cab lights with the small outer and large center light. So with the idea from Devin, 83GMCK2500, I bought 5 of the 01-07 GM outer lights and spaced them similar to the 88-98 cab...
