I have had two K3500 SRWs, both 6.5TD/5spd and this '95 Suburban K2500. They are very dependable, but my second one (95) was jinxed I think. I'm serious. As far as the work it needed, that didn't bother me because I wanted to fix it up into my ultimate forever work truck. The first (92) one I ordered and kept it as built. That truck was great! On the '95 the engine blew at 135k, I put a crate performance marine 6.5TD in it. The NV4500 went south, I put a GM crate in. The NP241 started popping into neutral, I put a GM crate in. I was happy to have all new stuff and spares for both trucks. I went through that truck, long long list, a ton of money in it. I was very happy with it. Then I wrecked it

Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Part II
I don't know if I ever showed this picture of the ole '92 on the job. I just found it under work pictures I managed to save from an old 'puter. I hope not a repeat anyway

Even if it was a repeat, it is a good one to repeat!

Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Part II
I think I took that because the truck was all washed up, no equipment on the rack, and freshly graded lot. I think I was back to do a small finishing detail. But also, I will never forget that house. The picture doesn't show it well, but the siding color was champagne. A pinkish pale lavender-like color. The only house I ever saw use that color. And this was the last house built in the subdivision. I always wondered how the other homeowners, all settled in to their nice new homes, felt about that. It was a yuck color, especially in a development.

Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Part II
I purchased this 1990 gmc k2500 from the original family. It was a little rough but with some TLC she turned out looking pretty nice. Purchased the truck with a blown engine so dropped in a new gm crate motor. I absolutely love this truck

The 8-luggers are great trucks. You got a good looking one. That Sandstone is a nice color

Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Part II
Thankyou. It surprising how common the 6 lug 2500s are. Glad I was able to find a real 3/4 ton as it’s a pretty hard working pick up

Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Part II
My 1992 3500. I bought it in 2002 when starting a grading company, and it already had over 200,000 miles on it. It was a work truck for a crane company. Now it's got almost 427,000 miles on it but still kicking. It's got a high idle issue and stumbles sometimes, but I'm reading some of the other threads here trying to figure it out. 5.7L engine btw.

Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Part II
A good truck right there. I have a special place in my heart for '92s, year five of the GMT400. Improved from '88 and simpler than '98. I like the interiors up to '94 better than newer and better than some point prior to '92. Not sure when, but I notice differences in the earliest trucks. "92 was the year GMT400s became a full line of trucks, with the C3500HD being added on. A great year in GM Trucks.

Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Part II
The only pre-95 dashes that hold up okay around here are the red ones.

Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Part II
Easy enough to change the color. My old '90 had that Dark Red/Burgandy (Carmine). It's still in tip-top shape just slightly faded.

Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Part II
The light beige dash in my '92 held up great. I had no complaints about the gauges or the heat and stereo controls. For me those were the coolest ever. Everything worked as designed to the end. Never once went inside the dash.
I always favored the '92s for reasons stated, and because that was the year I knew so well. But standing back and looking all the years over, the ultimate driver for me would be a '94 with vortec heads and export van TBI intake. I like the exterior changes, especially GMC grille, and the old interior. If I did have a really nice keeper I'd like an LS swap Here is one I wish I could have bought. Cummins swap!

Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Part II
Here's my '95 K2500 Suburban at my favorite spot. It's a high knob. You drive right up, short flat spot, and right back down. 360* view with a 20 mile view to the west. I'll watch sunsets, storms, or just check out the view
