strutaeng's 04 2500 4x4 project Suburban

[strutaeng]

Well, it's time for me to work on this project. I bought this truck like 3 years ago and it's been just sitting. It's a 2500 LQ4/4L80e/NP263/4.10 Suburban LT.

There are some details to fix:
Smashed hood/clearcoat peeling on the roof
Cluster has battery drain
Rear fuel level switch I think fails because I get an intermittent zero fuel gauge and light on.
Really dirty carpet. I took off the seats and I'm pretty sure the previous owner hauled gravel on this thing, LoL. I ordered the rear carpet.
Needs new tires.

The good: engine/transmission/TCase and everything seems really good. It's got like 168k on it.

Goal is to make it a reliable weekend camping rig, with maybe some modifications after that. Maybe a little off-road capable rig, ARB lockers, something like that. Thread is to document progress and motivation Wish me luck!

Sounds like a worth while project. Looking at the carpet, you sure that wasn't involved in a homicide?

I’m here for this. I had one of these with the barn doors! 3” lift and 33” tires too? Right??
