Man you were making amazing progress!! Let's get it going again! I'm hoping to get started on mine soon...

Burb · 04-22-2018, 05:36 PM

...kinda reminds me of me some years back

Life happens other vehicles come and go...,but you keep hanging on to it
Kevin will come back around...he still has the burban bug

**kev2809** · 05-30-2018, 08:42 PM

still have it but no progress

trust me..this thing aint goin anywhere, ill be buried in this thing.

i been going through some parts i have stashed and trying to figure out what i need to do next. batteries dead and some wiring needs updated. ima work on getting the rear seats finished, frame the back end and hopefully start getting stuff back together.

long road but my goal is to be cruising by next summer.

i started a dump truck business 3 yrs ago and it seems i have something to do every day! but well see....

Burb · 06-04-2018, 01:10 PM

LOL Ya my kids were fighting over which one got what car when I died ...

Ya ... they love me

But I shut them down told them I was putting in my will that I be buried in the Burban doing something I have never done ... trailering my corvette behind it

So they get NADA ... lol keeps them from knocking me off

for anyone still following along....since i left you guys hanging forever.....thats my motor donor truck i picked up from a buddys auction. 2000 yukon xl, does have a good amount of miles (230k?). drove it up and down the road about 70 mph and it seemed decent. havent brought it home yet (need to cut a small tree down where its going to be parked) but i did order my dirty dingo slider mounts and will start collecting parts for the ls swap.

going to try and get a video of my 305 running so i can rip it out and sell it so i can power wash and paint the frame and under motor stuff.

I'm pretty much the opposite. If I decide on something I hurry up and do it before I can change my mind....

... Well, except for the '70 short bed. I started it over 10 years ago, but I still haven't changed my mind on anything I planned on it.

LOL nothing out of an '01 , was just wondering.

**kev2809** · 12-23-2020, 11:42 PM

quick question, i have everything unbolted and unplugged, ready to pull out....except the driveshaft. im having a huge mental lapse with pulling this driveshaft. is this the kind of ujoint that needs to be pressed out? i removed the clips but the damn u joint doesnt move at all.

I can't remember what you have there. Does that shaft just pull out of the tail housing or does it have a nut on it? Do you have the other end of the shaft loose? You are probably not going to get that u-joint apart while it is still under the truck.

Then you will have to unbolt the other end and unbolt the carrier bearing bracket if it has one and pull the shaft out of the tail housing.

guess that was the easiest way! i dont know why i was trying to avoid removing the driveshaft, it will need to come out anyways.

**kev2809** · 12-26-2020, 01:09 PM

well, i feel like rewinded 5 years but it will be worth it in the end....plus i can do some things to the inner sides of these panels i should of done the 1st time.

used this tiny truck to pull the motor out

*edit* i dont know why these pics always turn out sideways
