Just bought a suburban. 1990 barn door 4x4 all factory options. Black exterior with burgundy interior.

@MerricksGarage 3 года назад

Sounds killer

@bigcountry9210 3 года назад

The tbi 350 is hard to beat. I bought my k5 Jimmy new in 90 and it's still going strong. It makes good low end off idle,and she just turned 330k on all original running gear.

@jameshall4385 3 года назад

You can’t beat a mid eighties early nineties square body. They are modern enough to have good options like power windows, door locks, a/c, fuel injection and overdrive. Yet they are simple enough to be fixed with an adjustable wrench and a screw driver.

Nailed it!

A beauty, your Burban with the most reliable configuration possible :)

Couldn't agree more!

Going to be a Sweet ride, i'm kind of sorry i didn't go the cummings route with my 90 suburban, i did the 383 stroker motor instead, i wasn't planning on the suburban being the workhorse it is since my 91 blazer has all the cool stuff, (coil overs, dana 60.14 bolt etc) but now my Sub has almost the same parts it is going to be as capable as the blazer and easier to park than my 89 V3500 crew cab dually, really looking forward to your build because who knows maybe ill end up settling on one rig

Your video production has come a long way. Thanks for sharing.

@MerricksGarage 3 года назад

Thanks man!

@CavanalK5 3 года назад

That red interior is gorgeous!

@MerricksGarage 3 года назад

You know it wasn’t my fav at first and I looked into changing it all out but now, I Love it!

@danielmeeks1403 3 года назад

Just a little advice use red lock tight on everything but exhaust.

@seemesleep 3 года назад

Do yourself a favor check out rob bonney fab and get that Cummins put in there right! I have built the same thing but with a built NV 4500. After a ton of research I believe his motor mounts are the only way. Also move the firewall back a inch behind the motor make the pinch weld by the bell housing flat. You will still have room for all the stock hvac.Get a 1 inch body lift gets you all the room you need. Set the motor back as far as you can, gets you room for a mechanical fan and helps the diff clear the oil pan at full bump.

Can't wait to see this rig evolve. Im putting together a 79 high pinion 60/dana 70 for my 89 burb. Still flipping a coin on a 6.0 or 383tbi.

@MerricksGarage 3 года назад

6.0 all the way. Pair that with the Holley terminator and you have a killer rig

@ianwolfe7124 11 месяцев назад

Love all your content. Finally picked up a 99 cummins 24 valve, with trans and tcase for my burb build. Using burb for family trips and to tow my jeep. Which trailer and jeep are about 7500lbs. The tbi350 does not like it, lol. Has served well for 2 years, but time for the upgrade. Leaning toward 05+ superduty axles with coils for ride quality and the large brakes. Keep up the great work!!@@MerricksGarage

Love love love Suburban videos!! I will NEVER sell mine! :)

@MerricksGarage 3 года назад

Yup! They are rad!!

@benbutcher86 3 года назад

Awesome you have those plates K30BURB They may have been on there for while for all I know, but still cool. Not to be off topic 😄

@MerricksGarage 3 года назад

Not off topic at all!

@juandunas2381 2 года назад

How much will cost a conversion from 350 tbi with 4l60e to 12 valve Cummins with manual transmission? will be awesome combination for my 95 suburban 😎

@danielmeeks1403 3 года назад

Sorry I meant on the 12v, the bolts will rattle loose every time.

@ianwolfe7124 11 месяцев назад

Marrick, I did not see what you did for the fuel system. Were you able to reuse your factory tank? I have a Fass Fuel system to replace my lift pump on my 24v. I'm planning to retain my 40 gallon tank for range and capacity. Just ordered the AFW crossmember and Dueling Design frame plates.

@reedcalder9684 3 года назад

Ouch seeing ur thumb made both mine hurt thanks for sharing

@MerricksGarage 3 года назад

Yea those always hurt. When you lose the entire fingernail you know there was some pain involved. Only done that a couple times!!!

@95Z28A4 3 года назад

Is that a 3917700 exhaust manifold? I just bought a CPL1550 from a 1995 Dodge 2500 with 164k miles to transplant into a 2005 Suburban 2500. I have been looking at using the 3917700 manifold as an option.

@peterhatch1583 2 года назад

Do they make a front gear cover that you can just get to the gear on injection pump! Thks

@flatlinedatredline 3 года назад

Yo dude love it I did this but mine is on 44s 4 link full roll cage custom tube frame and deuce and a half axles with unimog outers

@MerricksGarage 3 года назад

Hell yea. I wanna see that.

@gwolf7716 3 года назад

Any issues with front end weight? I’m about to EFI my 350 on my K5 until I can do something more permanent like this. My 6.7 Cummins is pretty amazing I would sure love to pair it with a 5.9 in the Blazer.

@MerricksGarage 3 года назад

Yes it is significantly heavier. New custom leaf springs and air bags out back to help when towing.

@anthonycoffey9412 3 года назад

I want to build a 1988 Suburban beast one day. Had a 1997 Tahoe on 37's & besides being a clapped out heap it was fun as hell! My biggest debate is 12v Cummins, or LSX 454?!

@MerricksGarage 3 года назад

454 would be killer too!
