Re: 1990 GMC Suburban ... Cummins Powered

I have used it on 2 different trucks and like you mentioned, it is UV sensitive. One of those trucks has had the hood up a lot at shows and the painted area on it has faded. I'm getting ready to paint the underside of a F-250 and I'm going to use POR-15 I believe. We'll see, that stuff can be a real mess.

Re: 1990 GMC Suburban ... Cummins Powered

As I said the pressure pot was the best choice for me . It just took for ever to get everything all cleaned and taped out ... it was worth it in the end .
Managed to get the stick pedal set up in place , just waiting for some under the dash parts before I put the column back in . Just received the new pitman arm for my crossover steering , looks like it will be perfect for my build , its clears the front crossmemer for the cummins .


Build is going to be slow for the next few weeks ... Turns out the axles need a little more than I planed .
Front dana 60 needs basiclly just about everything ... The gears are good and so is the carrier . I was trolling for a set of done axles but only thing I seem to find was other peoples junk ...LOL
So I ordered everything to rebuild my front ... hubs , spindles , Reid knuckles .bearings ...
Then the rear axle had some chips in the gears ... so I planed on swapping out the Detroit locker for a Posi ... I went with a Eaton unit ... I did not need to be tearing up tires . I also ordered a new set of Yukon 4.56 and bearings and install kit .
Found a good deal on tires and wheels so i picked them up also ... I went with Dick Cepek 20x12 wheels and 41" radial Iroks .

I have been been picking at the rears , I got the 14 bolt all stripped mounts , cleaned and just setup the new 4.56 gears . I took out the Detroit Locker and put in a Eaton Posi .
Rear gear pattern looks really good . I also just ordered a E-Locker for the front dana 60 ... will see how that goes , thats all new to me .
