The 2wd burb thread. Fixed!!!!

2wd big block burb tow rig
Overview Gallery Discussion
I saw the pitman, idler had a little play too, not much. I wrote it off as standard gm slop. Hopefully you can sort some headers relatively easily, that would be really nice, especially to ditch the air pump and all the emissions junk.

I may have some headers. I feel like I need to contribute for an awesome dude.

That would be excellent!


Oddly enough I'm heading to Phoenix to help a buddy get tires, so I'll be cruising through tonight. But I'll also be down next weekend, you want a windshield frame?????

You've gotta be the only one on here who's happy to have found a pinion leak. :wink1:

I assume the axle linkage is for the late-model adjustable rear brakes?

Geez pinion half empty guy there. It leaves nothing on the ground. Therefore it is not a leak. It is rust proofing

That's the load sensitive proportioning valve , it's suppose to give you more rear brake bias under load . But they usually rust up solid and don't work.

This one moves. This has just about every towing option you could get in a burb
 
That's definitely a 10.5 axle. If I am thinking correctly, the cool fins on the top and bottom were only a 10.5 thing.

And only special 10.5s, the early models didn't have them.

The real question is whether he has removable brake drums. I'm pretty sure 1990 is too early for that, but I was also surprised to see fins on that year of truck. So what do I know? :thinking:

I've always read/heard different info on what years the 10.5's came with the cooling fins and/or the removable drums. But I too am curious to see the brake set up on this one.
 
I doubt these are slide off drums. Would be cool.

I was just happy to see a full float. Reading on the GM heritage center would lead you to believe they were all 9.5" SF.

I think the pitman was one of those things where it was ready to be done. I'd imagine it got way worse on my drive home.

Yah the emissions on this engine are terrible. So much extra crap

Sooo headers. Did a bit more looking. Both exhaust manifolds are cracked. Not bad but they are leaking a tiny bit.

So what's decent out there. I can't spend a ton on em. I'd love some Sanderson headers but those aren't in the budget now. New manifolds look to be around 50 each.

What's decent. I really don't wanna be tightening bolts all the time. I don't wanna blow out gaskets either.

As far as the rest of the exhaust I need to look and see should be simple to do a crossover tube. I like a single exhaust. But will do a dual if easier

Got to say that Sanderson headers are nice.... fit really well:

full

Man that's soooo tempting. I think I'll stick with the roof for now. I'll go look for those headers. If your down next weekend maybe you can help us set the pinion angle for some new perches ;) or just stop by and say hey
 
My only suggestion at this point is to use remflex header gaskets. The OEM style gasket on my 22R, leaked the day I installed it. I swapped it for a remflex based on what other yota guys suggested and I'm super impressed with them. They're twice as thick, you torque it down to their specs, not the OEM spec and it crushes about half way. I'll buy a set for Daisy one of these days, one of hers leaks slightly when the engine is cold.

That Suburban is awesome! I'd love to have one like it for a daily driver.

The 454 was the determining factor. 1981 and newer C/K/R/V 20/2500 got the 9.5" semi float UNLESS it had the 454 which was limited to 2wds. 20 series crews are the exception as all crews got the FF.

That's what I thought too, so reading stuff confused me a bit. I had thought all 454s in 3/4 tons were the full float rear.
