1990 Suburban 6.2L Factory Banks Sidewinder

[TheWarbeast]

Found this on Craigslist. IT was owned by a Charlotte cop. A tree fell on it and he lost interest so I picked it up for a song. LALALALALALALALA

A 90 Suburban 1500 4x4 Diesel (but a special one)

Tree fell on it.

Good stuff in that box

Replacement parts

Keeping people off teh rear end for the trip home

Transporting the spare hood

OMG LOW MILAGE

K&N filter - Wait that doesn't look right

OHhhhh I am happy in my pants

All the rest of the parts are in the interior.

I will be retiring the WarBeast and putting this monster to work very soon. I cant wait.


OH and the box.

I look at virtually every chevy now, looking for one of those screaming deals that has that fancy banks turbo kit on it.

thought I had one a bit back had diesel badges and a banks badge but it had a swapped in small block LAME

And today I changed teh fuel filter added 2 batteries gently stirred and it runs.

Nice.

Both the feel and return line to the lift pump had holes in them. Getting them off involved taking both motor mounts loose and lifting the engine up because the turbo is in the way. After sacrificing most of the skin on my left had to the frame I managed to get them off.

I also found that both motor mounts are bad. The heater core is bypassed. And the block heater is no where to be seen. I know where the wiring for it is, but nothing on the wires. Minor stuff but irritating. Oh yeah the hose from teh breather to the turbo is cracked. Wonder if I can find another one of those?

Very nice find! I see barn doors too? Awesome!

I like the "sacrificing most of the skin on my left hand" bit, LOL!

Nice find

 

[TheWarbeast]

Work and weather have conspired together to keep me from getting this thing back on the road. Hopefully this month I will have time to get it going again.
