it may not be your norm but like a lot of other people in the comments here, I think that old Suburban is a diamond in the rough and deserves some sprucing up. 🤙
Appreciate you doing these. People dont realize how much work goes into filming and editing until they do it. Keep doing what you do.
Awesome to hear that you enjoy the videos Derek and thanks so much for the support!
That's why I subscribed I do projects myself and put them up on my channel and I definitely realize how hard it is to keep the energy and flow never know maybe work on something together in the future. Maybe get you into fishing lol
@@NoNonsenseKnowHow It looks to me like smaller cars like your jeep could maneuver around Jenny's shed, but you were trying to store fullsize cars or trucks, so then it was in the way.
Chris I loved it when you said to Jen “Full Strokes Baby” lol 😂 I was dying laughing great job on the maintenance repairs on the Chevy burb
Thank you for saying what you did about the flag and the men and women who gave their life for all of us Retired US Army Sargent Major Gamsby
I love the idea of you keeping it and using it for your far away "will it runs" and what not. Who cares what it looks like, she's strong and reliable with a ton of cargo space! I'm also super pumped for you that you got a sponsor from @Peakauto You deserve it Chris!
New video!!!!
I wrench all day and then go home and check your channel for a new video. I apply a lot of this to work everyday and I even surprise myself with the things I know from watching you. Thanks man.
Funny to see you using Mahle parts, for their warehouse in Memphis TN my mate flew out from Germany to install the logistics IT sytems...
Great job, straight to the point, no fussing around, loved the side views of your area!
👍👍👍
Great video! I was given a 1990 Chevy Suburban 350, 4x4 that was sitting for 8 years in the PNW. The rear intake is leaking oil and valve covers, so I will be doing this exact thing. Videos like this save people like me and many others so much time and money, and give us the ability to pass the info on to others.
PNW?

Ha!..Summer's Here..down in the RGV (guess?)

Those suburbans really are nice rigs...Love to see you paint it all black.
Mechanic here. I Completely agree using a light smear of sealer.
Love your work Chris.
Gus is the coolest dog ever ,thanks for sharing.
We grew up with our vehicles being rusted out by all the road salt, so its normal to see it. I'm the same way, its so weird and fascinating to see a clean rust free old body/frame. The warmer places just seem to have it so easy with their old vehicles.
Helped a friend from arizona change a transmission on a pathfinder a few years ago. So weird working on something with no rust.
guy was giving me noise over jury rigging stuff on vehicles and how its gonna run the vehicle into the ground and ruin it for the next person... i replied and said i bet youre from texas arizona or nevada and he said im in pheonix... there is no next person in the northeast.. the rustwill get it before anything else does no matter how much gunk you spray on it
Stupid cities and councils put salt on the roads in the states that have snow etc and the cars last no more than 2 years, its stupid.
@@jasonswift7098they last a little more than Two Years, but I get it. That is One Plus of all the Vehicles being Produced with Injection Mold Fcking Plastic
I grew up back east in Connecticut. Cars and trucks would rust out in 5 to 7 years!! The years were 1970-1984.
As a disabled veteran, who is thank you for your patriotism, God bless
Chris, I just got to say how much I enjoyed the videos, you put out, on going to Nevada, for the Suburban....Then driving it home! You say it was a vacation, but I'm sure it was work. You guys put out some of the best content, and I very much appreciate it. I'll be watching you, and Jen on your videos to come. Be careful, and thanks you guys. Gus, also is a great dog.
A late friend once had a Chevy Suburban back in the 70's. It was real reliable. Thanks for posting another great video! Mike in Oregon
The Chevy Suburban was a dream car for me over a while. Finally we ended up with a Toyota HJ 60 4liter Diesel, made in 89. Great Car, just like made forever, but the Chevy has still the charming, the smell of never ending sunken roads. A fine piece of machinery and easy to maintain and fix
Rear air, barn yard doors, similar to the truck I learned to drive on. My Dad had an '83 2500 Suburban with the 6.2 diesel, gutless but torquey motor, loved that truck. I love the square body chevys, NGL I'm kinda jealous!
Totally agree with the "leave the sediment alone", I've seen new leaks that started after a deep clean.
One thing I do notice about you you have a tool for every job you do not have to go hunting you do not have to go and buy a tool. You have a tool and to me that’s amazing.
For me the difficulty is finding the tool. I often have to go out and buy another tool I know I already have because I can't find it.
Thank you Chris, for recognizing the true meaning of Memorial Day - to remember those Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, and Marines who died in defense of our great Country. It's not Veteran's Day, that's in November - it's MEMORIAL Day.
Those flags were meant to be flown every day 🤘🤘🤘🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
That's AWESOME that Peak sponsored you!! Really nice. I totally agree about not flushing a system, if you need to do a drain and swap due to time or mileage, just drain your rad and engine, whatever comes out comes out, fill it back up and call it good. Same for the sludge.. that's important stuff (the engine needs that weight to stay in there!!)
When I use to do heavy mechanic work when flushing radiators we used cascade worked great even running through the engine
Thanks for the video. The suburban is a keeper for sure; she needs some sprucing up to make her “boulevard ready.” This thing would make a great cruiser/camper.
This truck is what got me hooked on the channel. Don’t get rid of it. I have a 99 but I love the older ones so much.
Great video. The old suburbans are my dream trucks. You should definitely make that your travel vehicle. They just cruise and have so much room.
Aaaans that is now the fourth video I got stuck on.
You just have to love the Gran Torino and the Suburban !
Please continue working on the suburban, I love those square boxy type of cars.
We never got them here in Germany, once or twice a year I get to see a caddy cruising through Frankfurt and it it just a sight to behold.
Cars you can work on easily, just gotta love them!
Keep up your good work,
Greetings from Frankfurt Germany
@32:15 The " Bull" dog is barking at the Torino because it's red !....LOL
Great idea to load it up with all your gear, and ship it to your chosen destination. At least you will have all the tools you need.😀👍
The RUclips has Definitely shown me just how Great the Old Iron Lives on along the Western Side of our Beautiful Country. Thank You to all the Service Members, Former Active and Future. Especially to Those Brave Men and Woman that Paid the Ultimate Price and Gave their Life for Our Freedom, Don’t Waste it or Give it Away!. God Bless Our Men and Woman Serving and May God Bless America 🇺🇸. I’ll catch you on the next one, Keep it Safe Out There Sir
USA. Thank you for the tribute at the end and keep up the great videos.
36 seconds into the video made my day you said paint job ! Thank you ! All great cars deserve too be taken care of inside and out !
It is really nice to see the time and care that Chris Gus’s and Jen put into this channel and into these vehicles. Chris makes it look easy and you can tell that only a person who truly has a passion for mechanics can do what Chris does. Thank you for the videos and for the channel.
Highly enjoyable! Timely maintenance is never overrated over here.
Great video Chris can't wait to see you new shop. God bless the USA and all those who are and who have given their lives for us.
Good to see Gus having a great day !
Отличное видео! Не мог оторваться от просмотра! Старые американские автомобили - это просто шедевр! Жаль, что не могу себе позволить такой Сабурбан у себя в России
A masterpiece 💯
She seems to ride so smooth on the highway like butter.
I,personally would keep this gem of a car .
But hey ho,aint my car,aint my video.
Good luck Chris,Jen,Turbo & Gus.
Thanks for supplying me with free factual TV .
Like the channel and you guys are just down to earth people. Like this truck.
24:19 “full strokes” 😂 Jen delivered to the floor!
Chris, you make that intake job and exhaust repair look so easy!! Yes, those desert vehicles are really better to find than a northern or snow belt vehicle.
God Bless You for remembering our fallen troops. Have a great holiday weekend. My wife and I bought a 1977 Chev. Suburban brand new and had it for many years. I think of all our friends, we were the first to have an SUV. Great vehicle. I'd love to have yours and do it the rest of the way.
Love you and Jen in the videos but we all know Gus is the star of the show, lol. Keep up the great content! I love the concept of the ship and fly. I think it might cost more than you expect but if it isn't that is a great idea!
Man I wish I could still bend my knees like that an do work on the ground when I need to. Looking forward to seeing the new shop. Always love the Gus cameo’s too.
That truck is a gem indeed.
Thanks for the shout out to those who sacrificed all.
Beautiful Burban. miss my '86, '88 that i had. If i could, i would buy it in a second.
No helmet law , man you’re making me fall in love with PA. The rust tho….i have a 04 suburban and I love it, it isn’t my first either. It’s just hard to beat for me. 250+ miles and still runs strong.
As a USMC veteran I appreciate you and all Americans with the same mindset as you. Thanks Chris.
I live 30 miles Northeast of Pittsburgh, the true Rust Belt! The old square bodies look good and are protected by applying bed liner all along the bottom of the body and up around the wheel wells. The right color combinations are sharp! Eddie
Thanks guys!! I always feel better seeing chris, jen and Gus man!!…you guys rock…thanks for your efforts!
Believe it or not out here in Kentucky you can buy those Burbans rust free for $2,000 to $3,000 all day long . Love what you did with this one
My favorite RUclips celebrity! Love all the content man! Always learning more and more from watching you work on your projects!
Another awesome vlog guys!!! Don't you just love it when your puppy enjoys a good 'stink spa' and comes over for an approval!! lol
Simply love that Ford Torino Elite! Gorgeous and rare cars!! Just as much for the Suburban. With how Clean and rust-free it is, You'd be silly not to be asking $8,000 or more for it. I'd say Buff, and polish it. Slap some Patina sauce on it and new side body molding.
For pitting on aluminum or cast iron like that I usually like to mix up a little bit of JB weld and just use a very thin layer of it to fill in the pits and usually I use a razor blade as a spreader so that the only place it ends up is in the low spots and then I go over it with a carbide scraper after it's dry and you end up with a nice flat clean new surface.
So much better than Emma 1 looks so good ,a paintjob would be awesome 🎉 but still it's awesome
Intake manifold leaks on this generation of Chevy engine is quite common. I had to change the intake manifold gaskets on my '91 C-1500 pickup at around 100k. With that much clogging I would imagine you are going to need a radiator and a water pump before long as well. Both are easy to change. Ask me how I know?!
Another trip down memory lane thank you for sharing this six stars
That sensor you removed from the block drain, is a "knock" sensor for ignition timing. It is recommended to install a new one, and it does require a torque spec. New sealant on the threads and/or not torqueing will compromise its sensitivity.
Oh okay. Thanks for that info! I'll go ahead and probably order one because the plastic is broken on it too
@@NoNonsenseKnowHow The ECM does a knock test which involves checking to make sure that knock sensor responds. If it doesn't it will throw a code and pull a ton of advance. So yes recommend a new AC Delco and install exactly the factory way.
Back in the OBD-I days, that sensor was added to "feel" the low frequency vibration associated with "spark knock". There is,, inaudible, and audible spark knock. Audible spark knock, as you know will burn a hole in the piston,, but inaudible spark knock will pound the upper half of the rod bearing out.
That's (in a way,) kind of a bonus we got from OBD-I . The computer as forementioned in another comment, will throw as much advance at the timing as it can until it "feels" inaudible spark knock. So with OBD-I your engine will run a-bit cooler and make a-bit more power with premium fuel over low-test fuel. On OBD-II it doesn't matter because it controls more parameters than Its predecessor.
@@deanmeyers1690 What I described happens very briefly the first time you engage Performance Enrichment mode on an ignition cycle. This ECM and in general OBD-I cars do NOT try to run timing on the ragged edge using only knock detection to keep things under control. The intent of the calibration (with a properly functioning engine and the correct octane) will NOT need to retard any timing. It's there for protection. Also, it will pull timing more aggressively so if you are riding the knock sensor all the time, you are not getting optimal performance and should reduce base timing (in a GM TBI particularly). Or there is something wrong like carbon build up.
Sorry Bud; I didn't intend to start a confusing discussion over the sensor,, just merely explaining what's a proper repair and that it does more than plug a water leak. Enjoy the holiday weekend.
I helped my buddy to move his rotting tool shed. We used PVC pipes with 4x4 stud inside of them. We used 5 of them like the Egyptians. Even as some parts of the floor caved in, we moved it catty corner.
God Bless America - thank you🙏
1987 Chevy Suburban un-restored in Arizona no rust, right now 2 to 3 thousand all day take your pick, not several thousand maybe in Pennsylvania but not here.
Oopsy from comments b4😢🎉. I thought had a 454 big motor??? Naughty me, now you say it's a
350 motor in Chevy suburban!
But that's still a surprise 😅😊
Doing 18 mpg , that's DAMN
CRAZY 🤪 GUY! Keep doing updates on
Chevy traveling suburban 😅😊😊!
Great work buddy A++!!!!
Great video and congrats on getting a sponsorship.
Chris dug the update on Emma 2.0 enjoyed it a great deal and the Torino is looking awesome! I DIG 70S CARS ! Since that was what I could buy and were plenty when I was younger! I think Emma 2.0 Being a clean rust free Sqarebody Suburban is at least worth 5 to 6 K. I wouldn't sell it for anything less. I watch Daltons channel also and if anything you could send it to him or use it as your tool rig. Either way I enjoy your channel its one of the ones I watch regularly. I hope to see a Fury update soon! Got my flag flying proudly! Enjoy the Memorial Day weekend and cruise that sweet Torino as Much as you can!
>Have you seen a Chevy frame this clean?
Yes. I live in the desert, very common.
Enjoying your videos - new subscriber here. As one that once lived in the Midwest - I'd toss out the idea of soaking the belly of that baby in either Fluid Film or Wool Wax - Wool Wax doesn't smell as strong - but either do an amazing job of keeping the rust away - and it washes off. I use to treat my rigs twice a year - it makes the bottom slimy and dirty = but not rusty! You can't use it on the newer GM with the soft/wax coat frames - but this Suburban is perfect.
Ran straight water in my 94’ for awhile since it had a leak I was putting off fixing. Needless to say, lots of rust ensued. Ran some CLR thru it, and drained it. Looked like a rust milkshake going down the driveway, down the block. Put a aftermarket diesel coolant filter in-line on the heater hose and ran that for a few months. Cleaned all that sediment out like a champ.
💯 agreed on the coolant flush. Easiest way to cause problems when you don’t have them
Suburbans are great. I had an 86 I bought new for $19K. My kids loved it. Three row seating, rear AC. It would pass everything except a gas station. This one is a gem and hope you keep it and fix everything!, Well done!!
Hey Chris, thanks for another awesome video brother. I was wondering, when you were checking the ignition timing did you disconnect the single wire connector near the distributer itself? You, Jen and Gus have a nice Memorial Day weekend, you guys stay safe. Thank you to all of our military service men and women. God bless you all.
Absolutely love the old Burbans, brings back alot of memories, you did a great job on flushing and cleaning everything out. I'm big on maintenance and I would have done the exact same thing and start fresh. That truck is an absolute dimond and if I were you I would be keeping that one only cause when are you ever going to find another one that clean and free of rust like that.. Just my opinion, this one has me thinking of going to the bank tuesday and sending you some cash cause I'm in love and already have ideas of what I would do with it.. clean truck, you did the right thing with changing all fluids.. great video, much respect chris, happy memorial day and thank you for all you do brother!!
Chris, this Burb is a gem! I personally think it should be at the top of your Keep list. A crossover with Dalton to get it shining is a great idea. As it is, I would want at least $5000, after the deep detailing maybe $10k! If it doesn’t sell, who cares?! 😊
Awesome day in the life video..great to see the suburban again and she getting the maintenance that's much deserved. Great content as always and looking forward to seeing your next adventure 😊😎🛠️🇺🇸😇
i love the mid 70's cars...yes i stayed
till the end :)
Yes Dalton from pole barn garage custom incredible body work that 50 something Ford daddy painted with Tractor Supply paint came out absolutely amazing
Chris you are the man. God bless you brother, you're such a talented guy.
I have two 88 Chevy customized vans. Never had trouble with them other than routine service. I have a 91 S10 Blazer 4 dr.. Best little run around vehicle ever.
I love that Gus gets to go so many places. I am the same way with mine. Good to see another video man!
Chris I’m a recent subscriber and really enjoy your videos and your vibe. The world needs more people like you, especially with the Memorial Day 🇺🇸 statement at the end. God Bless America and thanks to all our veterans that paid the ultimate price for our freedom.
Love the suburban. My parents have a '91. Also love that these videos have side activities, like going on the trails and taking gus to the dog park. Keep up the good work.
Just FYI regular enamel paint is good up to a few hundred degrees Fahrenheit. It's fine for intake manifolds and valve covers. If the engine's getting hot enough to harm standard paint you've got other problems.
I love the Starsky and Hutch Torino Chris! lol 😂I’m with you brother, God Bless America and our fallen heroes! Amen 🙏🏻
7:11 my wife is an automotive spray painter and she says the same thing, its all in the prep
Fellow southeastern pa guy here and the weather has been beautiful. Lucky we haven’t had much rain with all your stuff outside
Dang! That’s one clean suburban underneath.
Just came across this video, great job, thanks for taking us along your journey, real life problem solving. Awesome.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love your comment about your new "open air" concept!!!😂😂..can't wait to see your new facility completed!!...Good Luck Brother....always enjoy watching your bids!!!!👍👍👍
BTW you can move that SHED pvc piping jack it up slide 3/4 plywood under it and pvc 4 inch piping it will roll been there done that
Yeah that was the plan, but she says I'm responsible if any damage happens to it and it's kind of rotted out on the bottom to begin with. LOL
83 I had a 76 Ford elite mine had a electric sun roof loved it
I love EVERY SINGLE VIDEO YOU MAKE
I can hear that beautiful Suburban burble all the way over here in Mooloolaba Australia . Thanks for the great vids 🤗
Great work on the video s i injoy watching you and keeping up with the cars you get back on the road you had a few I would like to have for myself . keep up the good work and god bless you and your wife .Be safe out there.
Superb as usual. You're going to the top.
Thanks frank!
Well YT/google has hooked me up with another cool channel. Binge watching NNKH with many video episodes I like to watch. Compliments to your content and editing skills.
That passenger side temp censor as you called it.. Is a Knock sensor bub.
You will never go wrong using the right stuff sealant.
I live in Canada and during the summer months, I use 1 gallon water and 1 tbsp dish soap to make my own windshield washer fluid. In Sept I switch back to alcohol based...better for env and save a buck ! TIMBO !
It would definitely be tough to part with that Cheby! Makes it all worth the labor when you get a good look underneath her. When is exhaust work ever that easy!? God bless you and our freedom to be able to watch you work! We love Gus!
Love the content. I'm now going to have to find another project. Just sold and delivered it. NEXT! Thanks for the almost assist.
Congrats on the sale man!
Those older big chevys were great vehicles ! Great video ! I liked those ford elites allot . Back in the day I was looking at them at the ford dealership . I really like the look of them .
I love the rims on the suburban.
Yeah they do look pretty Sharp! Could use a buff and shine. You should buy this thing off me. Could totally see you and Tiff cruising around in it with a nice paint job looking all shiny.
