Man does that era Suburban bring back memories. In my previous job I went on a 2 day service call to a now closed and torn down Janesville Assembly Plant of GM. I ended up staying there 7.5 years and saw 100's of thousands of this era Suburban being built. From the body shop, into paint, and down to trim and final assembly. Can remember one day when the body loader, that picked up the body, then tracked the frame w/engine moving along the assembly line then tried to lower it onto the frame. Only someone did something wrong and the loader hoist didn't stop but instead laid down on top of the Suburban body crushing the roof by about a foot. That place also told a new manager that they were building a special Suburban for the President of the United states. They even gave him the VIN number and when it was going to start. That new manager walked over to the "A" line in body where the trucks start off as the firewall. He then walked each step along the way through the entire building till it rolled off the line. While they built a truck once every 55 seconds it takes a firewall to become a full Suburban driving off the line in 13 hours. That manager stayed with that vehicle telling everyone at each station to be careful that it's the President of the United States Suburban. Only the next day after he went home for a few hours of sleep and came back did he learn it was all BS. He got ribbed for that forever. That plant also built Suburbans that then went to another shop in the area that converted the to bullet proof models for the Secret Service so I guess knowing that the manager believed the story.
One more thing that happened at that GM plant was on the tire line. They actually mount the tires on the rims automatically with an automated machine. The rim is spun till it finds the valve stem hole where a valve stem is inserted before the tire is pressed over the rim. Once the tire is on think of it as a barrel clamps from below and above and actually fills the tire with air without using the valve stem. As the tire is unclamped the tires pops on the rim and is at pressure. Four of the "special" rims came through and were outfitted with the tires. The ended up on one Suburban and shipped off to the dealer who sold it to the customer. That customer drove it for a while and got a flat tire. What did he find? All four of his rims were never drilled for a valve stem, the machine searched for the hole didn't find it but still put tires on the rims. He had a Suburban with no valve stems on his tires. Now I know why I drive a Ford. hah

@@Sweet_Johnny pays good if you live near the right parts of the slightly less progressive sects of the church. like here there is a large chunk of Amish that don’t agree with there being Yoder toters, so the younger ones will pay good to use a Yoder toter that will pick them up down and drop them off where they can’t be seen by the elders
@@Trump.2024. While it's definitely a thing here it's more common to see a horse and buggy than a van/Suburban, but it happens. I feel like the "Toters" I see are more likely for the Mennonites. The Amish are suuuper strict here in KS. As in they don't permit the use of phones at all, they don't use zippers, they refuse to utilize electricity as well as gas powered engines, and some even go so far as to pull all of their teeth as to avoid traditional dentistry. Apparently dentures are OK but repeated visits to a modern doctor are not because they use everything the Amish are against. I'll *never fully understand it, but to each their own.
@@Sweet_Johnny the toters are definitely mainly for the Mennonite here as well, but the Amish have a decent sized toter pool they use. And in the stricter parts there are a few of the toters who specifically cater to the young Amish with..English tendencies 😂😂
I love Suburbans! Once you've owned one and realize the amount of versatility that you have, you will always keep one in your garage. As long as you can comfortably afford fuel, there's really no draw back to owning one in the USA.

First off LS swaps are just about the best thing to happen to the car aftermarket since the advent of the internal combustion engine. 2nd a truck of that vintage and style should get a whipple charger or some off brand belt driven supercharger to be period correct
@@RChero1010 pretty proud of that one aren’t you? You come up with that all on your own or did you hire a professional comedian? For the record I own and have owned several different engine platforms not that I need to explain myself to some random on the internet.
that burgundy burb came from Idaho, and I think I was looking at it when it was for sale. I love the suburban even have my own 91 2500 4x4 toy hauler. Doug's newest burb is AWESOME.
I’ve always liked the 2003 F150s. I found a short box single cab 4x4 with a 5 speed. 34,560 miles on the odometer. One owner and he’s 92 years old. He bought it to tow his little skiff when he came to Alaska for the summer. So it basically sat for years in a garage not doing anything. I love this truck.
I bought a 99 Dark Grey with Pewter lower accented 6.5L Diesel Suburban w/ 180K miles in September 2017. Paid the owner $3500 and dropped about twice that on 'TLC' over the next months (it had sat in a farm yard for almost 10 years after his wife passed away). New: Brakes, Tires, Shocks, Carpet, Oil Cooler, Turbo, Injectors, Tune, PMD relocation, Stereo, Speakers, lights (interior and exterior LEDs) Door Lock mechanisms, Weather striping around the doors, blah blah and hours getting all the light rust addressed and couple of heavy rusted spots repaired and painted. It ran fine before and much better afterwards. Looked fantastic, drove like a dream, great fuel mileage, decent power for a 6.5 with mild tune. My buddy liked it so much he bought a Burgandy on SIlver 96 7.4 L, Anyway, first long road trip I get T-Boned 500 miles from home by a red light running Jeep Patriot....broken heart along with frame, front diff, transfer case, wheel, radiator, radiator core, lights and a big time concussion from getting 'hit' by the driver's window as the truck rotated under me. Still waiting on the insurance for medical to settle and 'the heart's memory' to eliminate the bad and magnify the good...wonder which will happen first?
Literally grew up with Subrubans. My Dad started with the little short wheelbase '63 Suburban, then 67, 71, and 75. After the oil crisis hit in the 70s, he decided that 75 cent gas was too expensive to burn in a 12 mpg truck. Also 2-3 of his 5 kids had moved out, so he was mostly hauling the guys at work to lunch with it. He built a false floor in the back to store camping stuff underneath, and got a 4 inch thick chunk of foam rubber and my Mom made a cover for it and put it in back. In the days before seat belt laws, he had invented the very best way to take 5 kids on long car trips. You could sit back there and play games, take naps, separate unruly kids, etc. It was awesome! He drove it all over the great plains and the Rockies on vacations hauling all of our camping gear, 5 kids, and a boat. Good times! Just my 2 cents, but yeah, 90's Suburbans are difficult to find since most have disintegrated into piles of rust by now. A guy where I work had one that literally had no rocker panels because they had completely rusted out.
Try also searching for "Blazer," as it was known, before the name change. I think this was also around the same time (or just prior to) all GMC versions were renamed "Yukon."
I have a 1996 Suburban K1500 with 397000 miles, these things are amazing! I have no rust on the frame, they did that wax coating thing and it held up pretty damn good in CA :)
I had a 2500 Suburban for towing trailer, it was like a feather, and like you riding on clouds... just a wonderful truck... it was clean as new and the only thing I fixed on it is A/C...never gave me any problems at all..
As the owner of a CLEAN, low milage Stillen GTS 2500 GMC Suburban, this video tugs at the heart strings. I had the same images of Trucking magazine scroll through my head when I spotted it on markeyplace.
I had a tan Suburban for a while that came stock with the same 350ci TPI motor found in the Z28. I had never seen that factory before. It had push button 4x4 even though it sat pretty low to the ground. Two 15 gal fuel tanks stuffed under it. It had other features I had never seen before like 3dr row seating that split in the middle so you could fold down just one side, heat and AC controls in the back for the 2nd row and vents for the third, reading lights for all seating positions in the back, pockets on the back of the driver, passenger and 2nd row seats, sun roof for second and 3rd row that popped up in the rear, a 1/4 window that slid open for the 3rd row to get outside air and stuff I am probably forgetting. To take care of the kids on road trips or if they had to go out on a job with me it had a small fridge and microwave in the back, tv's in the driver and passenger headrest, 2 dvd players so they dont fight over what to watch, a playstation 2, blankets and pillows. In the back was a flat top, short tool box covered in the same carpet as the floor to keep my water detecting meters and thermal camera in (I was a water damage restoration contractor) the front had a rack to hold my laptop and a potable full color laser printer to produce job bids or work on finances with my book keeper while I was on a job site. It always got looks and questions about the giant 22" chrome wheels with little sidewall tires that the only reason they did not stick out the side was it had some factory fender flares that I had never seen on any other. The tires were 245/30/22. This one other than the fender flares, sliding rear window openings, custom roof rack for mountain bikes and wheels looked normal. Under the hood was crazy power (it would roast tge tires off the line & on wet pavement spin all 4 if in 4x4) and the interior was like a conversion van.
My dad gave me his 1993 Silverado k1500 with 69k miles on it and has never been driven in the salt. It’s a beautiful maroon color and has the maroon carpet interior. I love that thing so much and plan on keeping it my whole life.
I totally feel it Man... I looked for the truck I drive now for four years, my wife was like "Just buy a new one". Except I didn't want a new one, I wanted what I wanted. When it popped up the whole thing was just right, and maybe the coolest seller ever. Flawless easy and good deal, everything just clicked. She turns 20 years old pretty soon, and just a tad over 20k miles... looks and drives better than new. Sometimes I think the right truck (or car) is kind of like a pet... maybe you just need to find each other. Thanks and regards,
My dad has a '99 Chevy Suburban with only 28k miles! He bought it from the original owner a couple of years ago in the state of NY. I drove 600 miles with him sight unseen. He knew he was committed to buying it as soon as the owner opened his garage door. The only time it has seen salt was the time we drove it back home.

Mate, they ARE beautiful. All of them. I think You like the hunt more than having them. I searched two years for a piece of electronics and when I finally got it the exitement cooled off rather quick. It´s a piece of junk compared to today but it´s a piece of history, it was the first that brought functionalitys of a 2k$ device down to 650$ so it was affordable for the home gamer. I still like it, I just don´t use it as often as I thought I would. But I understand Your mindset, I get where You are and why with these trucks. When I was a kid i pressed my nose against the windowfronts of TV and electronics stores, dreaming about owning such a nice stereo set. Now, as a grown up, I sometimes get those brainfarts, a picture pops up and I start looking. And it´s the greatest when something then materializes and is good. Remember MiniDisc? 25 Years ago I had a MiniDisc Walkman, now I have it again and it´s magic. My own time machine. I put in songs from then and it feels awsome being able to leap frog back quarter of a century. So: yes, I feel You. Enjoy!
I enjoyed your Suburban stories. I have 2 Subs and 2 Ho's. That computer steering nonsense locked up the steering on my 99 Ho and I rolled it. Back on it's feet, it drives off. I have since installed GM factory part # 19168825 into the back of my power steering pump and eliminated the locked steering that nearly killed me. Just picked up an 02 Ho in Black. Love it! We put the steering kit in that one too. I found something interesting. The horrible tracking these trucks experience at freeway speed is now gone! My 02 was all over the road like my others, so I replaced that part and it tracks like a slot car. The reason I wanted to get in touch, is that I'm planning on building a Sub with a very unusual engine. I'm going to yank the engine and trans (4L80E) out of a mid to late 90's Bentley TurboRT. This is after I strip the wiring, engine, trans, seats and interior out of the Sub. In goes the entire wiring, dash, console and seats from the Bentley. I simply have to pull the trans and stuff in a stub shaft for the 4X4 version and it's a bolt up. Once it's running, we're going to see if we can adapt the front clip of the Bentley on the Sub. Probably not. But it sure will be one fast Sub with over 800 lbft of torque. I can crank the turbo up to 21lbs of boost and see over 1800lbft. Not much in the way of a big block Chevy that can touch that. I do crazy stuff like that now and then.
My dad sold his 1976 GMC Suburban 454 V8 (260,000 Original Miles) he bought "Brand New" when I was a Junior in high school.. Arizona "Rust Free" It went to Michigan on a trailer...he got $15,000 cash
I remember seeing one in Sport Truck Magazine back in the 90's out of New Orleans with the license plate, Bourbon. Thought that was cool. It was lowered and all white. I drooled over that truck.
My mom had a late 90’s Yukon that was green and had airbrushed geckos on the side of it. She sold it then the local police department bought it and turned it into the D.A.R.E car😂
I'm about to start the frame up restoration of my great grandfathers 1990 c2500. It's become apart of the family and this generation of gm trucks is hands down my favorite
Scored me a real clean 98 suburban for the family - 150k miles, everything works. Best part is I sold my POS 02 suburban for $3200 and bought the OBS for $2800
I have the same profound love for the 89-99 Chevy suburban and the trucks this means absolutely all of them. I have had two K1500 one was a 94 the other was a 95. When I was a kid our family get around was a 93 suburban that had all of the dealership problems. It had the Chevy interior and the GMC interior. One day my dad and I went out hunting and found ourselves teetering the edge of a cliff high centered just like it were a movie. We were able to slam enough force to gain momentum but only backwards, We were taking out trees left and right about 4-8 inches in outside diameter. Not one dent in the bumper nothing was tore to shreds and mom to this day still doesn’t know about our awesome father-son memory. Best generation of of cheap trucks to date.
Had a 99 suburban classic same body style my grandpa bought it new when I got it it had 75k miles, full leather and all the options, no rips no stains just a perfect stock old man's truck. 2 years a go a tree came down in a wind storm. Wasn't a piece of glass or straight panel left. Such a sad day. The color of it was maroon too.
You would freak out over my father in-laws 90's something suburban. He bought it brand new to haul his boat to lake Powell. Has 20 something thousand miles on it and it has the fuel injected big block. Loaded with all leather interior. The thing is immaculate. I've never seen him drive it in over ten years. He's in his 80's and doesn't go to Powell anymore.
1993 I bought a new black 350, 1500 Suburban. It had a 42 gallon fuel tank, with a full tank of gas in Cincinnati, it would get to Atlanta, Ga, refill and when it got to Orlando, Fl it still had half a tank. Donated it to Good Will with 187,000 miles, fuel and brake lines were rusting, Suburban's are Great vehicles. It was 2 wheel drive, still would go through snow up to the front bumper with no problem, just keep the 42 gallon fuel tank full.
Custom 90's suburbans were the ultimate tow vehicle for smaller drag racing teams. Lowered, billet wheels, rad graphics to match the car and trailer, and a boomerang antenna so you knew they had a tv in that bad girl.
A yoder toter was a legitimate gig here in the buckeye state. The Amish and Mennonite communities have had to change their lifestyle since then. The old way was to farm, pass the farm onto the kids and so on and so forth. The decrease in the profitability in farming along with the increase in land prices have forced them to have to adapt and take other career options. But anyway basically the Yoder toter made pretty much the same amount as one of the load of carpenters or tradesman that they transported.
My uncle had an early 2000's diesel suburban. He sold it for an 90's suburban also diesel. Both were lifted like 4 inches with off road tires, front bumper, and pretty clean overall. Some of my favorite vehicles my uncle has ever owned. He sold the 90's suburban too. They would've been some of the nicest overland rigs today. I'm still trying to forgive him for selling those two trucks.
Dude back when JC Whitney was a black and white catalog. With hand drawn pictures. Had all kinds of cool automobile gadgets. And everything else under the sun. Was a great time looking through those.

First off LS swaps are just about the best thing to happen to the car aftermarket since the advent of the internal combustion engine. 2nd a truck of that vintage and style should get a whipple charger or some off brand belt driven supercharger to be period correct
@@titanary68 GM this is the 8th decade in a row you've brought a pushrod v8 to show and tell
@@RChero1010 pretty proud of that one aren’t you? You come up with that all on your own or did you hire a professional comedian? For the record I own and have owned several different engine platforms not that I need to explain myself to some random on the internet.
I love the title, I also love my Burban! 🤷🏼♂️
I love the title and I dont have a car, but I do love my masculinity and respect a man who is not pu$$y whooped.

90s burbans can take a family of 8 plus the dog and all your luggage to the moon in comfort
that burgundy burb came from Idaho, and I think I was looking at it when it was for sale. I love the suburban even have my own 91 2500 4x4 toy hauler. Doug's newest burb is AWESOME.
That "pewter" color is disparagingly known as "Dirt Frost" in my family! 🤣
Doug is back!
I love his taste in buying random cars
9:48 “When i want something, i kind of have to have it”
Classic......LOL
“No” means “yes” and “yes” means “harder!” I am just glad that there are car guys who are after cars that I am not :-) thanks for the videos, cheers!
I’ve always liked the 2003 F150s.
I found a short box single cab 4x4 with a 5 speed. 34,560 miles on the odometer. One owner and he’s 92 years old. He bought it to tow his little skiff when he came to Alaska for the summer. So it basically sat for years in a garage not doing anything.
I love this truck.
I like that Doug notices a lot of things.
“The more you notice”
i saw this and immediately thought “well if it’s not rabbit then it’s doug”
Off course it’s Doug, loving the fun stories told in such a great way.
I bought a 99 Dark Grey with Pewter lower accented 6.5L Diesel Suburban w/ 180K miles in September 2017. Paid the owner $3500 and dropped about twice that on 'TLC' over the next months (it had sat in a farm yard for almost 10 years after his wife passed away). New: Brakes, Tires, Shocks, Carpet, Oil Cooler, Turbo, Injectors, Tune, PMD relocation, Stereo, Speakers, lights (interior and exterior LEDs) Door Lock mechanisms, Weather striping around the doors, blah blah and hours getting all the light rust addressed and couple of heavy rusted spots repaired and painted. It ran fine before and much better afterwards. Looked fantastic, drove like a dream, great fuel mileage, decent power for a 6.5 with mild tune. My buddy liked it so much he bought a Burgandy on SIlver 96 7.4 L, Anyway, first long road trip I get T-Boned 500 miles from home by a red light running Jeep Patriot....broken heart along with frame, front diff, transfer case, wheel, radiator, radiator core, lights and a big time concussion from getting 'hit' by the driver's window as the truck rotated under me. Still waiting on the insurance for medical to settle and 'the heart's memory' to eliminate the bad and magnify the good...wonder which will happen first?
Probably one of the cleanest suburban’s I’ve seen in my life.
when I saw the title
i expected to see the "my wife at the time" guy instead of doug...nevertheless SHOUTOUT TO THE EARLY PEOPLE ON THIS VIDEO 😁👍👍
I see an obs chevy, I click on video!
I have a 91 Silverado that would make him go nuts. It literally looks more 90s than the suburban
1960s corvettes are great cars. My dad has had his 1966 for years and I’ve driven it thousands of miles myself
My old body 99 suburban has served me well over the years. Glad to see the burbans get some love! If you want rust free buy in NC.
I thought this was a Rob Pitts story by the headline 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
No kidding!
Same here
They really need to get these guys wives on wiki 😂
For husband stories??
“Jewish Racing Gold” 😂
Literally grew up with Subrubans. My Dad started with the little short wheelbase '63 Suburban, then 67, 71, and 75. After the oil crisis hit in the 70s, he decided that 75 cent gas was too expensive to burn in a 12 mpg truck. Also 2-3 of his 5 kids had moved out, so he was mostly hauling the guys at work to lunch with it. He built a false floor in the back to store camping stuff underneath, and got a 4 inch thick chunk of foam rubber and my Mom made a cover for it and put it in back. In the days before seat belt laws, he had invented the very best way to take 5 kids on long car trips. You could sit back there and play games, take naps, separate unruly kids, etc. It was awesome! He drove it all over the great plains and the Rockies on vacations hauling all of our camping gear, 5 kids, and a boat. Good times!
Just my 2 cents, but yeah, 90's Suburbans are difficult to find since most have disintegrated into piles of rust by now. A guy where I work had one that literally had no rocker panels because they had completely rusted out.
I know about one in prestigious condition except the front window it’s in the hood so somebody got pew pewed in it I have the photo for proof
I just love those obs trucks. I really love the 90s two door Tahoe! Hard to find.
In Norway we have lots of them..usually with diesel.
Try also searching for "Blazer," as it was known, before the name change. I think this was also around the same time (or just prior to) all GMC versions were renamed "Yukon."
@@blazerteam no way I’d ever get a Tahoe if it’s not a 2 door diesel. Best spec ever
I have a 1996 Suburban K1500 with 397000 miles, these things are amazing! I have no rust on the frame, they did that wax coating thing and it held up pretty damn good in CA :)
“it had the billet engineering catalog thrown at it” LMAO!!! 😆
I can honestly say that I have never watched a video from this channel that has not been extremely interesting. Great job guys!
That GTI jacket. I need one.
Yoder toter!!! I laughed too hard at that.....😂😂😂
2:55 Jewish Racing Gold😂😂 oh goodness that’s a good one
As a long time owner of Suburbans, I think the ninth generation(2000-2006) is better than previous generation(1992-1999), particularly the brakes.
Yay. It’s been a while since we’ve seen Doug.
cool screen name
I had a 2500 Suburban for towing trailer, it was like a feather, and like you riding on clouds... just a wonderful truck... it was clean as new and the only thing I fixed on it is A/C...never gave me any problems at all..
The colorshift on that suburban is fantastic, btw. I approve.
As the owner of a CLEAN, low milage Stillen GTS 2500 GMC Suburban, this video tugs at the heart strings. I had the same images of Trucking magazine scroll through my head when I spotted it on markeyplace.
I KNEW this was going to be Doug!
I had a tan Suburban for a while that came stock with the same 350ci TPI motor found in the Z28. I had never seen that factory before. It had push button 4x4 even though it sat pretty low to the ground. Two 15 gal fuel tanks stuffed under it. It had other features I had never seen before like 3dr row seating that split in the middle so you could fold down just one side, heat and AC controls in the back for the 2nd row and vents for the third, reading lights for all seating positions in the back, pockets on the back of the driver, passenger and 2nd row seats, sun roof for second and 3rd row that popped up in the rear, a 1/4 window that slid open for the 3rd row to get outside air and stuff I am probably forgetting. To take care of the kids on road trips or if they had to go out on a job with me it had a small fridge and microwave in the back, tv's in the driver and passenger headrest, 2 dvd players so they dont fight over what to watch, a playstation 2, blankets and pillows. In the back was a flat top, short tool box covered in the same carpet as the floor to keep my water detecting meters and thermal camera in (I was a water damage restoration contractor) the front had a rack to hold my laptop and a potable full color laser printer to produce job bids or work on finances with my book keeper while I was on a job site. It always got looks and questions about the giant 22" chrome wheels with little sidewall tires that the only reason they did not stick out the side was it had some factory fender flares that I had never seen on any other. The tires were 245/30/22. This one other than the fender flares, sliding rear window openings, custom roof rack for mountain bikes and wheels looked normal. Under the hood was crazy power (it would roast tge tires off the line & on wet pavement spin all 4 if in 4x4) and the interior was like a conversion van.
I died at "Jewish racing gold" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
My dad gave me his 1993 Silverado k1500 with 69k miles on it and has never been driven in the salt. It’s a beautiful maroon color and has the maroon carpet interior. I love that thing so much and plan on keeping it my whole life.
If the title says Suburban, I will always watch that video
5:53 I love that he has the office shade over the windshield 😎🤯🤯
A very thoughtful present from my loving wife!
Actually surprised this isn’t an Uncle Rabbit story 😂
Doug, you gotta get the ZR1 roll pan for that thing. I mean... Common is there any question? Love It!
Can't wait for this one lol, shout out to all the early people
Word.
Dude "Truckin magazine" and "JC Whitney" thanks for the stroll down memory lane👍.
color naming is brilliant :D
My first vehicle was a 1999 GMC Suburban, last year of production, optioned out, 170k miles but dealership clean. I loved that truck.
I aspire to reach this man's level of pettiness with my own marriage xD
I totally feel it Man... I looked for the truck I drive now for four years, my wife was like "Just buy a new one". Except I didn't want a new one, I wanted what I wanted.
When it popped up the whole thing was just right, and maybe the coolest seller ever. Flawless easy and good deal, everything just clicked.
She turns 20 years old pretty soon, and just a tad over 20k miles... looks and drives better than new.
Sometimes I think the right truck (or car) is kind of like a pet... maybe you just need to find each other.
Thanks and regards,
Aww yes the old midlife crisis! Im glad mine was cured by buying a Camaro SS and calling it good lol.
My dad had a 99 Suburban. It was such a great truck. Was still driving strong at 270k miles.
Doug Tabbott. The yankee of vinwiki.
Had to scrap my 88 suburban, it was a sad day. The 09 ltz I have now is doing a good job filling the void. Burbans for life.
There is a guy in town that has an early 90's square body that has the Corvette lights in the roll pan and i always thought it was goofy looking...
09:12 Someone have an example of what the rear bumper delete panel with vette lights looks like?
See this is an Alpha Male move, his money, his decision! More men need to be like this and be a man's man damn it!!!
Yep. I did this. She left. Still have the 'Burban. ... I won.
My dad has a '99 Chevy Suburban with only 28k miles! He bought it from the original owner a couple of years ago in the state of NY. I drove 600 miles with him sight unseen. He knew he was committed to buying it as soon as the owner opened his garage door. The only time it has seen salt was the time we drove it back home.
Luxury or no luxury always be proud of your brand and try working to improve. I love luxurious lifestyles. All thanks to crypto I just got my first Lamborghini 💝. My advice to y'all invest in cryptocurrency or gold.
Wow what a way to kick of the Christmas holiday
Investing in crypto currency now should be in every wise individuals list, in 2 to 3 years time, you will be estactic with the decision you made today
@Niran Wang Most intelligent words I've heard
@Niran Wang Stocks too are good but I swapped and invested in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency. I have been making good profits.
I've been holding most stocks like TELSA, AAL but the crash are inevitable
Doug and ed are my favorite story tellers
Getting famous off of comments day 285, so I can live the dream, live every day like it’s your last🤙
Mate, they ARE beautiful. All of them. I think You like the hunt more than having them. I searched two years for a piece of electronics and when I finally got it the exitement cooled off rather quick. It´s a piece of junk compared to today but it´s a piece of history, it was the first that brought functionalitys of a 2k$ device down to 650$ so it was affordable for the home gamer.
I still like it, I just don´t use it as often as I thought I would. But I understand Your mindset, I get where You are and why with these trucks.
When I was a kid i pressed my nose against the windowfronts of TV and electronics stores, dreaming about owning such a nice stereo set.
Now, as a grown up, I sometimes get those brainfarts, a picture pops up and I start looking. And it´s the greatest when something then materializes and is good.
Remember MiniDisc? 25 Years ago I had a MiniDisc Walkman, now I have it again and it´s magic. My own time machine.
I put in songs from then and it feels awsome being able to leap frog back quarter of a century. So: yes, I feel You. Enjoy!
I enjoyed your Suburban stories. I have 2 Subs and 2 Ho's. That computer steering nonsense locked up the steering on my 99 Ho and I rolled it. Back on it's feet, it drives off. I have since installed GM factory part # 19168825 into the back of my power steering pump and eliminated the locked steering that nearly killed me. Just picked up an 02 Ho in Black. Love it! We put the steering kit in that one too. I found something interesting. The horrible tracking these trucks experience at freeway speed is now gone! My 02 was all over the road like my others, so I replaced that part and it tracks like a slot car.
The reason I wanted to get in touch, is that I'm planning on building a Sub with a very unusual engine. I'm going to yank the engine and trans (4L80E) out of a mid to late 90's Bentley TurboRT. This is after I strip the wiring, engine, trans, seats and interior out of the Sub. In goes the entire wiring, dash, console and seats from the Bentley. I simply have to pull the trans and stuff in a stub shaft for the 4X4 version and it's a bolt up. Once it's running, we're going to see if we can adapt the front clip of the Bentley on the Sub. Probably not. But it sure will be one fast Sub with over 800 lbft of torque. I can crank the turbo up to 21lbs of boost and see over 1800lbft. Not much in the way of a big block Chevy that can touch that. I do crazy stuff like that now and then.
Do it! But keep it stock, at least externally!
My dad sold his 1976 GMC Suburban 454 V8 (260,000 Original Miles) he bought "Brand New" when I was a Junior in high school.. Arizona "Rust Free" It went to Michigan on a trailer...he got $15,000 cash
Nice to see Doug back on the channel!
I remember seeing one in Sport Truck Magazine back in the 90's out of New Orleans with the license plate, Bourbon. Thought that was cool. It was lowered and all white. I drooled over that truck.
My mom had a late 90’s Yukon that was green and had airbrushed geckos on the side of it. She sold it then the local police department bought it and turned it into the D.A.R.E car😂
I'm about to start the frame up restoration of my great grandfathers 1990 c2500. It's become apart of the family and this generation of gm trucks is hands down my favorite
It would be awesome to have beers with Doug, John, and Ed...
Doug is great at telling stories. What a treat for this Friday
Scored me a real clean 98 suburban for the family - 150k miles, everything works. Best part is I sold my POS 02 suburban for $3200 and bought the OBS for $2800
It’s a great day when Doug Tabbut has a new video
I have the same profound love for the 89-99 Chevy suburban and the trucks this means absolutely all of them. I have had two K1500 one was a 94 the other was a 95. When I was a kid our family get around was a 93 suburban that had all of the dealership problems. It had the Chevy interior and the GMC interior. One day my dad and I went out hunting and found ourselves teetering the edge of a cliff high centered just like it were a movie. We were able to slam enough force to gain momentum but only backwards, We were taking out trees left and right about 4-8 inches in outside diameter. Not one dent in the bumper nothing was tore to shreds and mom to this day still doesn’t know about our awesome father-son memory. Best generation of of cheap trucks to date.
Had a 99 suburban classic same body style my grandpa bought it new when I got it it had 75k miles, full leather and all the options, no rips no stains just a perfect stock old man's truck. 2 years a go a tree came down in a wind storm. Wasn't a piece of glass or straight panel left. Such a sad day. The color of it was maroon too.
You would freak out over my father in-laws 90's something suburban. He bought it brand new to haul his boat to lake Powell. Has 20 something thousand miles on it and it has the fuel injected big block. Loaded with all leather interior. The thing is immaculate. I've never seen him drive it in over ten years. He's in his 80's and doesn't go to Powell anymore.
That burban is pure glory on billet. Actually they are both pretty epic
1993 I bought a new black 350, 1500 Suburban. It had a 42 gallon fuel tank, with a full tank of gas in Cincinnati, it would get to Atlanta, Ga, refill and when it got to Orlando, Fl it still had half a tank. Donated it to Good Will with 187,000 miles, fuel and brake lines were rusting, Suburban's are Great vehicles. It was 2 wheel drive, still would go through snow up to the front bumper with no problem, just keep the 42 gallon fuel tank full.
Custom 90's suburbans were the ultimate tow vehicle for smaller drag racing teams. Lowered, billet wheels, rad graphics to match the car and trailer, and a boomerang antenna so you knew they had a tv in that bad girl.
A yoder toter was a legitimate gig here in the buckeye state. The Amish and Mennonite communities have had to change their lifestyle since then. The old way was to farm, pass the farm onto the kids and so on and so forth. The decrease in the profitability in farming along with the increase in land prices have forced them to have to adapt and take other career options. But anyway basically the Yoder toter made pretty much the same amount as one of the load of carpenters or tradesman that they transported.
My uncle had an early 2000's diesel suburban. He sold it for an 90's suburban also diesel. Both were lifted like 4 inches with off road tires, front bumper, and pretty clean overall. Some of my favorite vehicles my uncle has ever owned. He sold the 90's suburban too. They would've been some of the nicest overland rigs today. I'm still trying to forgive him for selling those two trucks.
This was a great one VINWIKI! This thing brings back memories DOUG!🤘TEXAS!!!
I am big fan of the two door yukon/ blazer from the same Era as well. Like the yukons " barn door"
Dude back when JC Whitney was a black and white catalog. With hand drawn pictures. Had all kinds of cool automobile gadgets. And everything else under the sun. Was a great time looking through those.
That silver and red suburban should be in a museum. The smidt collection in Florida would be a good spot for it. There collection is over 3/4 original and unrestored
