Re: The Story Of A Suburban (Lots Of Pics)

I actually have a bunch of pics to post, but my photobucket is at its limit for the month, so I have to wait for about a week for it to reset to start with the pics again. I have got the interior mostly done. The wipers are on it. There are a few little things that I need to do to it, but I have gotten most of the big stuff done.

I held off starting to drive it because I knew once I started, that would be the end of working on it for awhile. I was right. All I do is drive this thing now. I have somewhere around seven or eight hundred miles on it. I drove it to work everyday for about 2-1/2 weeks. The A/C works good at 110* and it works great below 105*. If it is under 100* it will freeze you out even without the rear a/c on.

The interior noise level is acceptable. I was worried about droan, but it is not too bad at all. The ONLY squeak/rattle is coming from the rear tail gate and hatch. I have new weatherstrip, but I am going to save that for the replacement gate and hatch that I have for it. I actually put some generic weatherstrip on the two parts and that quieted it right down.

I filled it with fuel and weighed it. Anybody want to take a guess at its weight and mileage??
