Figured I start a thread on the new toy, family hauler, tow rig, tire roaster. I picked up a 2004 Suburban 2500 2WD with an 8.1L big block. It only has 47k miles on the clock. The interior is super clean. In typical G-Dawg fashion I got it super cheap from a co-worker. It needs some here and theres. It works fine the way it is, I'm just not a fan on how some things were put together. The guy that owned it before me wasn't too mechanically inclined when it came to all the custom sh!at, so whenever something needed attention it was down for a while at a custom shop and cost him big $$ to repair because pretty much everything that would need attention would either need to be made, ordered from Kenne Bell in CA, or ordered from Summit Racing.
So here is what I know (and am guessing):
Kenne Bell 2.2L blower (pulley has been changed to a smaller 2.75")
Custom Behr Intercooler set-up
Huge Aeromotive fuel pump with stainless braided lines running to tank
Larger Drive pulley installed
All the stock pulleys have been converted to 8 Rib (supercharger is 8 rib as well)
Dual electric 16" fans
Intake was either modifed or someone just thought it would look sweet powder coated black. I'm guessing it has been massaged in some way
Sounds like it has a cam in it
Full length headers
Magnaflow exhaust and duals out of the muffler
Stock 4.10 gears
What I need to do:
Redo pulley mounting plate. I'm replacing the idler. This has been a PIA. Dayco engineer says it's two tensioners put together and you can't get the tensioner part anymore.
New core support cover - looks like crap.
run heater line back to factory hole on water pump. I'll explain later.
remove headers and get coated - they get freaking hot! Melted a set of MSD wires.
Have it retuned on dyno. It's tuned pretty mean right now. The guy that owned it said it laid down 520 HP at the wheels when he had it tuned a couple of years ago. That place is out of business and from what I read on the interweb they sucked at tuning. It gets horrendous fuel mileage. Mostly my fault. it's hard not to stand on it. It makes the kids happy! Did I mention it hauls some serious ass!
