Noober's 94 K2500

[6.5TD Burb]

Always amazes me the amount of information that I find on new forums....and this is definitely one of the more informative boards I'm currently a member of; especially in the older threads. Anyway, joining in on the fun with a 94 K2500 'Burb......been wanting one for a long time and finally got one. Needs a lot of work but not a bad buy for $1400 I think.


Sorry about the sun glare. Didn't think about that when I took the picture. It needs a decent amount of body work that's not really visible (both rear quarters, rear bumper, both barn doors are damaged and covered with bondo, and a new hood) and the interior needs a good cleaning (nothing a new headliner and carpet wouldn't readily remedy). Already has a failed new PMD (Dorman, SSD heatsink). Have another on the way long with Kennedy's extension harness. Nothing else to tell really...

Welcome to TDP

Not at all a bad buy for $1400

You can definately afford to drop some $$$$ in the old girl and be able to drive every penny out.

We own a 94 Burb and love it. 260K and rolling.

Golad to have ya.

Best

BLING!

New shoes for the 'Burb...what a difference.



H2 rims wrapped up in 305/70R17 Maxxis Bighorns which equate out to 34x12.5 or there abouts. A little larger than I anticipated. I kept thinking they were 16s for some reason. Anyway, still STOCK in the picture. Tomorrow after work time for a 2" budget boost; should help keep some of the form in my fenders and bumper. For anyone a little more inquisitive about fitment I have a few more clearance pictures in my supermotors page.

That's pretty close with the front tires. Are you able to turn much at all?

[6.5TD Burb]

Lock to lock...so long as I'm on level ground. Maybe about a 1/4 turn or so before making contact I guess, haven't really been paying attention. Been trying really hard not to turn the wheel anymore than necessary. Lack of clearance doesn't really manifest itself until turning onto another road, parking or the like.

Ha, I just realized I don't have the link to my Supermotors page in my profile. Oops.

I have a 94 Burb and these rigs definately dont have much in the way of room for big tires unless you spend the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ X 100's to lift them up with a good kit

Once lifted though the family apeal tends to go away real quick.

Missy gonna get rather unamused when she has to hike her skirt all the way to Montana to get in the beast

(Been there done that) Ah well such is life

Nice looking Burb BTW

Don't have to worry about that yet.

New pictures with the small lift.


12 or 13 turns on the torsion bars(!) with the keys almost maxed out; didn't even get a full 2" out of that. On the rear I have 2" blocks in combination with Monroe Load-adjust shocks, PN 58600 which yielded at least 3" together.


A little more angle that I would like but not much can be done about that right now. Guess I'll be keeping an eye on those ball joints.

A lot taller than I had planned for. Before all I had to do was pull out on the rear door handle. Now I have to pull up. I'm 6'2" and I have to get up on the rear bumper now to turn on the rear cargo lights. I love it. I'll have to get some comparo shots of it next to my F150 (6" lift/35" tires).

I guess this maybe more of a progression thread that intro....

UPS decided to lighten his truck a little today by stopping at my house. Dropped off a rather large oblong brown package



Stove pipe exhaust


Really hoping it was perforated rather than louvered, oh well.

Don't know when I'll be able to get it on :cry: as the weather doesn't seem it's going to cooperate with me in order to do so. When I do I'll be sure to post a video clip of it and more pictures of course.

Whoops. Keep forgetting to post these:







Awesome sound namely under full throttle. I don't know what it is but it's got too much air passing through for my liking though. It sounds almost half/half mix of passing air/exhaust sound. Other than that I have no problems. Took just under 4 hours, IIRC, with a trip or two to AutoZone for cut-off wheels or whatever I needed.
