Got back to the shop from picking up T-shirt from out t-shirt guys and Fedex had dropped off some boxes. The Stiker 170 lights will be cutting the night like a lazer beam later tonight. Got the wiring harness.
Also got some nice air pressure gauges to keep in the trucks.

Looks like a fun project and great looking Suburban!
Are you sure that you have the 700r4 transmission? The 700r4 only came in the 1/2 tons. A th400 came in the 3/4 tons up till very early 1991, then they put the 4L80e in the 1991 3/4 ton Suburbans.

No I am not sure. The $L80E would be better, yes?

Best way to be sure what you have is to get under it and count the transmission pan bolts. 4L80e is 17.Originally Posted by John Willis
The 4L80e is Far superior to the 700r4. In fact if you are running a 700r4 I would question if it would even live long with your 37" tires. Like I said, GM never put a 700r4 in a 3/4 ton, so you either have a th400, a rebadged 1/2 ton (you have 8-lug axles so probably not the case), somebody made a poor decision on a swap, or you have a 4L80e (probably/hopefully the case).
Does your Sub have overdrive? If yes, then rule out the th400 as it is only a 3 speed tranny. Also as previously mentioned, climb under the truck and count the trans pan bolts &/or look for large electrical plugs on the trans body (the 4L80e is electronically controlled by the PCM).
Good Luck!

Replacement headlight units that take removable bulbs, rear door rubber, LED dome light replacements, markerlight and parking light replacements, TAIL light LED packs, 2nd battery tray and on and on.

good progress. Im curious to see what tranny u have im guessing the th400, but either the th400 or 4l80e would be better than the 700r4.
