Ok... my 1995 Suburban decided to give me a strange issue today. I have been having problems with the backup lights blowing the fuse. I havent had time to track down the issue, so I tossed a circuit breaker in its place, so at least the signals would stay working once it reset. This morning...

Guys, I have had this knock in (around) my engine, pretty much since I put it together in 2010. Its in my 95 Suburban, and its a 6.2 block with 6.5 parts on it. When I put it together, it got new SS Diesel 6.5 heads, new balancer and pulley, fresh oil pan gasket, etc. It only does this at...

Hey guys - long time no talk... I am posting this here because I feel it pertains more to the older chassis and suspect I will get a better answer about it. My wife's 99 burb, we have been through no less than 8 front passenger wheel bearings in the last 4 years. I replaced the first one...

Wow, did a 2 day head gasket marathon.... Replaced both heads with new SS Diesel heads, as after spending $100 to find the first set both cracked, I decided it wasnt worth another $100 and waiting after I rip it apart to find the same on the second set. Put in ARP studs... Replaced the...

I will be installing ARP Studs this weekend, and have a question. What should I seal the studs with in the block? Hoping I can use something commonly found at the local parts store.... Also, should I just run the studs in hand tight? or should I double nut them and run them in snug like...

Was looking through LMC tonight, and came across a fog light listing... Says its for the 1999-2000 Tahoe Limited/Z71. Seems they used the diesel bumper, and put fog lights in it! Moral of the story. LMC carries a direct bolt in fog light for the nostrils. Any thoughts on this? I want to add...

Have any of you tried any of the HID conversion kits for our trucks? If so, both beams? just low? just high? What brand? Are you happy with them? Thanks!

Well, nothing like pulling an all nighter just to have things not go your way in the end! They are sealing the parking lot where I work tomorrow, and I had every hope of driving the 'burb some this weekend.... not gonna happen... I have it running - good news... Bad news - I have no...

Anyone know where I can get some new ones? I seem to have misplaced them in the engine swap I have been working on.

I am planning to remove my vacuum pump when I install the 'new' engine in my 95. The question I have, is when the pump is removed, is it just taken off the mounting bracket? or do you remove the whole bracket? It appears to me that the bracket might provide some additional support to the AC pump.

So... the other night, we were out to Applebees for dinner. When we left, we took a shortcut across the front of the grocery store next door. Just as we stopped at the crosswalk sign, the PMD decided to do its thing. I popped the hood, jumped out, ran over to the nearest snowbank, grabbed a...

Our 99 Burb keeps killing heater fan switches. I think I just had the third (used) one fail. The fan likes to 'tick' at lower speeds, but seems to run just fine. Any ideas what could be causing switch failures? (anyone have a switch????)

Ok, here is the deal. I just picked up a 93 donor truck that has the 6.2 in it. I will be using the engine in my 95 'Project Burb'. I am debating the idea of keeping the 6.2 injectors in it, since it runs great, and that would let me use the injectors from the bad engine (have maybe 15k on...

Ok, I have acquired a 95 parts truck for the engine. In trying to start it today, I have discovered it will not flow fuel through the IP. I am presuming that with the lift pump running, and the key on, I should get a nice steady stream of fuel out the return port. I have removed both the...

Is a 95 N/A van engine the same as the suburban (well turbo aside :D ) I know the turbo'd van engines used different heads. Just want to make sure the N/A heads would be the same as the normal (non-center turbo) heads.

Guys, I acquired a 95 Burb, with a blown engine (believe the crank is toast). I have a decent 6.2 engine kicking around and am hoping to drop that in. What I need to know... is whats different? Things I am aware of... - Oil supply for the turbo (thinking I can T in at the pressure sensor?)...

I am asking this here, since the drivetrain section is usually used by 'newer' guys... Do the hubs need to be taken off, to get the drum off on a 99 Full Floater (14bolt) suburban axle? I am having a hard time getting them off...

Went to get a 10'x20' building today with the Suburban... (for my new goat barn!) Had a kid video the process of loading it. Its 2 videos, probably 45 minutes viewing time total.... http://mangusnet.com/home/?q=node/64 http://mangusnet.com/home/?q=node/65 My question is... at the very end...

Ok guys, here is the deal. Last monday, the front brakes in our Burb went metal to metal. Tuesday morning, I got up and went to work on them. The passenger side needed a new rotor, (and wheel bearing) Drivers side was in need of just pads. After much running around, I managed to get a new...

Hey guys, I am thinking its time to put new injectors in the Burb (at 120k miles now). What would be the best place to get them? Best set to go with? Engine is stock except the turbo-master, and 4" Warp speed exhaust...
