    Sweet Burb! I love all square bodies but I really like these '89-'91 trucks, they had all the amenities of the then-new GMT400, best looking grille of the square bodies imo, had EFI and all the creature comforts, but still had the classic square body look we all know and love.
    I'm not surprised the TBI 350 held up without issue. These 350s in TBI form are some of the longest lasting and most reliable engines EVER made. Several have gotten to 1 million miles which is a huge accomplishment. I've experienced their longevity and reliability up close, my dad has a 1990 C1500 Sierra 5.7 TBI V8 that he purchased brand new in Feb of '90. That truck has over 660k mi on the original engine. It's never even had the valve covers off of it. She's down on power a bit maybe but these weren't powerful when new so no big deal. Doesn't burn a drop of oil and runs great. Great trucks, great engines. Congrats on "Dale Jr"!

    Can't believe you found a Square body Suburban with almost identical ugly paint as your square body pickup.😯
    Dump the TBI for a Qjet or Holley on top of a genuine imitation RPM Airgap. Also get an HEI distributor. These 2 mods will net you about 40 HP. Swap on a set of Vortec heads with the mentioned and enjoy a total of around another 80 HP.
    Make it and even 100+ HP by adding a factory style roller cam. You can get nice factory regrinds from the Bay of e for a reasonable price from a company in Texas. Pick the right cam and get all of the above and get better fuel economy to top it off.😎👍

    i have square body suburban, ac is cold while driving warm at idle, any ideas what is the issue, it's annoying

    • @OldeCarrGuy
      @OldeCarrGuy  15 днів тому

      It’s usually an indicator of no cooling fan pulling air through the radiator/condenser. When driving the air moving through the condenser cools the refrigerant but no air flow at idle, it can’t cool down. I’d say check your cooling fans.

    Regarding this Suburban you brought up a good point.
    I thought you mentioned you weren't sure if you were going to be driving on "20 yr old tires"... My question; if the tires were 20 yrs old and not cracking and not looking totally dried out.... would you consider them safe? Obviously safe only until the point you are driving and they disintegrate while driving and the vehicle rolls over!! I have a 82- K20 4x4 the tires 21 yrs old and they look great and I hardly drive it.. cooper discovery tires, thanks.
    Ps since you are on a time schedule is there a "clock" and is it working ?

    • @OldeCarrGuy
      @OldeCarrGuy  Місяць тому

      Great question about the tires. Generally speaking, if the tires appear to be in good condition with no weather cracking and such, casual driving around town is one thing. However, at highway speeds, your tires tend to heat up. With heat comes expansion and contraction when cooled down. On old tires this can cause failure. I was prepared to buy 4 new tires to get me home safely.
      As far as the clock, it digital so it was/is working.
