    Default 1996 Suburban, 6.5L Turbo Diesel

    Hello All, how are you?

    Since I joined your website in August 2007, I have admired many pictures of beautiful trucks out there.

    I finally decided to share a picture of my BURB with you, taken shortly after I purchased the vehicle in March 2006. This BURB is my daily driver, but it is also used to tow our 2007 PUMA 26 foot Bunkhouse Travel Trailer.

    In the meantime, I have started to modify/upgrade my BURB as follows:
    - New Pioneer Stereo/CD System with detachable face.
    - Husky Floor Liners throughout, including Cargo Liner.

    - New 265/75 R16 BF GOODRICH All-Terrain T/A's.
    - New BILSTEIN Shocks.
    - Added Hood Bug Deflector.
    - Added Rain/Wind Visors on windows of all 4 doors.
    - Added "6.5L Diesel Turbo" Factory decals.
    - Added an "aFe Stage2 Performance Air Intake Kit".
    - Added USA Flag Decal -----> In honor/memory of our fallen heros, to remember and to never forget 9/11.

    - Currently in the process of purchasing a 4" inch Exhaust System from Jerry Jardine, Pinnacle Power Exhaust.

    Future Upgrades will include (but not limited to):
    - Max-E-Tork PCM from Heath Diesel.
    - Turbo-Master boost control from Heath Diesel.
    - Pillar mounted EGT, Boost and Transmission Temperature Gages.

    I am just wondering why the "Readers' Rigs: Updated June 11, 2007 - Member Rides & pics.." portion is not updated more often???
    With this, I would also like to inquire as to what I need to do in order to get pictures of my rig published there, since I am planning of taking more updated pictures in the near future.

    ***** Thanks for this excellent website as well as for all the feedback I constantly receive from all members/other 6.5 owners. Very much appreciated!!!!

    Just need more submissions.... Send me 2-4 hi-res images showing what you want others to see, along with 2-4 paragraphs describing what you want others to know about your rig... We can format the images and help with editing. We'll make you look good!
