My new to me 3/4 ton 91 suburban

[84CUCV]

Its all stock. as you can see its from the fire department in NJ.. has a 6.2 diesel 4L80E tranny. np241 10b front and 14bsf rear.. need to see what gears i have. 64,000 miles. Like everything in New Jersey. It has a bit of rust. But nothing too bad.Was taken out of service a few months before I got it. Has newer radiator, p/s hose, all new brakes front and rear, 2 new batteries and a new glow plug controller. To front doors have new window motors. Been looking for something like this for a long time. I was thinking about getting out of this. Then I came across this. Going to get rid of a lot. Keeping this for sure. runs great. the front Springs seem to sit low. might need new ones. In the process of removing the decals. Only way I know to do it is to use a heat gun so I don't harm the paint. takes forever. anyone know a better way? Going to change all the fluids and filters. I will be updating this as I go along. Going to be slow on will get done eventually.. Have a good afternoon guys

I have carefully used a lp torch moved slowly over them worked a lot faster than my heat gun. Key word was careful.

yea those are off. thanks im pretty happy with it.. paul, i found wheels like that for removing the decals for 16 each.. seem to work pretty good..

they work sick for pulling decals off the boats.. but they are gel and pretty much impervious to hurting the surface.. paint ya gotta be a bit more careful...

spent some time with this today.. thing hasa lot of decals.. 1 whole wheel and i didnt even get the tail gate done..

the rung in the front of the truck is really wet... cant find where its coming in. i mean really soaked like someone sprayed a hose in there. im thinking about pulling the rug up till i find out what it is..

check your rad level.. probably a heater core... Mutt just puked one last week...

Nice score! as for the leak, could there be a penetration in the roof left unplugged from it's former life?

You need to paint them wheels white and toss some hub caps on 'em!

How much rain have you had? My 'burban had a leak along the windshield on the passenger post when I got it. Some clear silicone stopped that,I regooped it when I changed glass a couple years ago,still works.
