I've seen RV manufacturers (cant name any of the top of my head, just seen on youtube reviews of RVs) they put a small panel on the lid of the AC units for their solar package.

Another option would maybe shave that inch off of the slide in? Basically notch that front wall where needed? It's better than messing with the truck bed but it still sucks having to modify something.

I crawled under again tonight and theres a Tee in the fuel filler, and then I can see 3 metal lines going from ontop of the secondary tank forward (didnt trace past the axle). I can all but guarantee they are going to be fuel lines. But unsure of why there would be need for a return fuel line if...

Sorry if the photos are huge. First time uploading pictures on here, and from my phone too. The tank itself isnt very deep, around 6 inches maybe?

I am 90% sure I have both on my 8.1L. I will have to crawl under and double check in the AM. I currently dont have my spare under there because it touches my exhaust (didnt know that until I needed my spare) but when i fill up its almost 40 gallons from empty. I dont think the drivers side tank...

A suburban 2500 already has a tank over the spare tire area in addition to the regular tank. Why not copy/source that?

I love the thought of this but an easier solution (assuming the width is at least reasonably close)would be to pull a rear axle from a chevy uplander (front wheel drive, not an AWD as it's an independent rear) the lug pattern is either 5x114.3 (4.5) or 6x114.3 I haven't seen many 5 lugs but I've...

13 is a dream, my best unloaded was 11. Cruise at 70 on the freeway for about 60 miles or so just as a test.. my typical average unloaded is 9-10.

Mines stock aside from a whipple supercharger, I'd love to have a cam and rockers. How much of a change did you get from them?

I use my 02 2500 suburban for a tow/hunting rig. It's a supercharged 8.1L with the 4l80 (I've heard it's actually a 4l85 but I thought that was just later years). I doubt you need the power of the 8.1L or a supercharger but I don't think you can really go wrong with a burb.. I pull regularly a...

I've seen a bunch of people put a secondary fuel tank where the spare was. I'm sure a water tank would work just as well. I want to move the spare out from under my suburban to expand on my fuel capacity (9 MPG doesn't get me as far as I'd like between fillups) I've seen people make/mount custom...

I actually bought the suburban with the supercharger on it, so I cant compare to a stock 8.1L. I've put about 10K since I've owned it. I mainly use it for towing my camper. But I've towed a dump trailer with loaded with concrete (scaled at 10K of concrete +4K of trailer) and I wasn't slowing...

I've got an 02 with a whipple supercharged 8.1. Oil pressure is very sensitive to RPM on mine, fairly low at idle but is just fine when cruising. My only problem I have had drivetrain wise is I have destroyed a rear axle in the 4ish years I've owned it. I know the Tcase suffers from "pump rub"...

I have an 160K mile 02 suburban with the 8.1 and it's a beast. Only issue I've had that I didn't cause myself was a rusted out break line. I've sheared teeth on the rear axle, and I have a bent frame at the trailer hitch (not my fault, loader operator decided to pack down the dump trailer by...

In my 28ft travel trailer (I do basecamp for hunting/fishing/exploring and space is nice with a young and growing family) we don't have an inverter for 120V built in, sometimes I wish I did for running smaller things like charging power tools, or running a small TV/DVD player for the kids on a...

I learned (re-learned) this lesson doing yardwork.. had a bush/shrub thing to remove in my front yard. Wrapped one of my old tow straps (with loop ends because I'm no dummy) and thinking it's just a little bush I hooked the strap to my suburban on the tow hitch (like a dummy) I didn't grab the...

I love my 02 2500 burb. It's got a supercharged 8.1L and with the charger it's almost too powerful for what I use it for regularly. But it's a tank. I've had 12-13K (ccsb duramax on a heavy overbuilt equipment trailer) behind it no problem power wise or handling wise. I typically tow about 8-9K...

I had an awesome tent trailer that was hard aided (minus the bed areas that slid out, they were still canvas) it was older but worked pretty good. I know they do make some fully hard sided pop ups that aren't the dinky little A-Frames.. that would be my first choice if I could and had to tow...
