Hi,

I checked two diesel suburbans this weekend. A 1982 3/4 and a 1983 1/2 ton. The 1983 is in a really good shape, it is just like new, no rust, perfect original paint, low miles, etc. The drawback is the interior... It is perfect but is RED!!!
The 1983 has overdrive but it has very small original wheels and tires (235x75 R15), so I guess the diff gear ratio is very low. I would like to put 33" tires, so should I change the gear ratio? Any problem running with big tires?
