Re: My 85 Burb
Thanks! A lot of it I think was due to normal wear and tear. I bought it with a bad engine...figured it was parked because of a bad head gasket then the water froze in the block and cracked it. The engine I found as a replacament was from a junkyard. That lasted 4 years. When I had the manual in it the trans shop noticed the bearings were going out in the rear end so when I swapped out the that I did the lift. I converted it back to an auto so my girlfriend could drive it. I swaped out the front end because the ball joints were shot on the original one and it was easier to do the swap than replace the ball joints. When I had it n the tire shop getting the 35's they ran the VIN and told me the mileage on it was around 348,000 miles. Now as things go bad we are going to try and rebuild instead of find a replacement. That way we have a zero point...know what I mean. Thanks!!!!
