    GMT800 People - Opinions wanted on upgrades/mods

    @NavyGator is that a fully custom rack or did you use a rack off the shelf and modify to fit? It looks really good. Almost like it was made specifically for that body style.

    2007 Yukon XL K1500 low lift with 37"s

    Sweet rig. Congrats. At 200k miles I assume they’ve either had motor work done or disabled the AFM. I’d be surprised if it hasn’t. Either way might be something to look into. I haven’t had any first hand experience but there’s a lot of people with reported trouble with AFM. Just something to...

    why not many new Chevs or GMC full size trucks?

    Congrats on the new truck. There’s plenty of folks using them as they are great platforms with impressive capability out of the box. Sure the aftermarket guys seem to focus on Jeep’s and Toyota’s. But With a little creativity you can outfit your truck and improve it’s capability for far less $$...

    Or it was wrecked and they took the opportunity to swap it. [emoji2369] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    2000 Suburban K1500 budget low lift with 37"s

    Agreed that’s a lot for a 1/2 ton. That’s getting into K2500 territory. And yes that front end came on Suburban’s and Tahoe’s for the Mexico market. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    04 2500 suburban build

    Unless you have a strong need for a pickup, the DuraBurb route is damn near perfect. I think you’ll enjoy the hell of out of it. Keep us posted of the progress. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    Newbie looking for first rig (Rig acquired, now it's a build thread!)

    Check out a gmt800 suburban 2000-2006. Also I find that the GMC version (Yukon xl) is sometimes cheaper than the suburban. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    TRQ 12-Piece Steering Kit...Any Good?

    Honestly all of that for $100 seems wrong. I’ve never used 1aauto for anything other than their YouTube videos which are helpful. I’m used to Moog quality parts or oem that seem to last at least 100k or more (~$350). If you need stronger components there’s a number of options but I would be very...

    Suburban vs Excursion for Family of 8

    That 02 suburban is a $9-10k rig IF in mint condition. Honestly do not spend over $10k. I bought an 04 2500 Yukon xl 8.1 180k miles for $9k several years ago and it was damn near perfect and came with over 100 receipts from the local gm dealer for all maintenance they performed. They are out...

    Suburban vs Excursion for Family of 8

    I might be biased but definitely suburban. Plenty of parts and very reliable. Good solid platforms. 8.1 is a beast but really only need if hauling heavy. They are known to use oil but that’s not a problem per se. the early ones had issues with the crank position sensor but that’s easy to...

    Swapping truck for a SUV - anybody done that and can share your experience? Pros and cons?

    What about a Tahoe and forego the 3rd row for cargo space and to keep your boots warm. That should be about same length as Colorado if not shorter. You can always store the 3rd row in the garage until it's needed for additional seats. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    Swapping truck for a SUV - anybody done that and can share your experience? Pros and cons?

    I know you said you weren't interested in full size but I downsized from this... To this... It can still fit in most standard size garages... And it can still do work when necessary. The only thing I miss about my truck is the tailgate. Which is not deal breaker. The benefits of...

    Suburban/Tahoe(and GMC) pic/build thread

    Honestly miles are just part of the equation. Maintenance is a bigger part of it as well as the rust situation. While sure it’s nearly a 1/4 million miles, if the chassis and body are in good shape and not rusted, worst case I could see you having to invest a couple $2-3k into it and still get...

    I agree. Nothing that I know of except the usuals. But don’t forget about the Yukon XL Most always look for the suburban but the Yukon xl is nearly identical. Here’s a few on the west coast. Clearly a clean Quadrasteer can pull some big $$. 2004 GMC Yukon XL 2500 Quadrasteer...

    Got it, may bad. Yeah definitely watch out for salty, rusty areas. I found mine on Craigslist in ft Collins, co but it was only there for a year. The rest of its life was in the southwest and well maintained. But no rust whatsoever. Craigslist and maybe Facebook marketplace (i don’t have...

    Same applies 03-06 suburban 2500 or Yukon xl 2500. 8.1 in these years are actually lightly derated HP but more torque when compared to the 2000-02. They are known to have an issue with the EBCM (brake and abs lights come on usually with service brake system message in DIC) which is mounted under...
