OK FOLKS,.....THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION ALONE ARE WORTH MY ASKING PRICE....PLUS OFFY INTAKE...AND TBI PARTS....ETC....SO, IF YOU HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR ONE....NOW IS YOUR CHANCE....THIS ONE HAS DONE A PERSONAL BEST OF 16MPG SO FAR, AND SHE CAN ONLY DO BETTER IF YOU WANT TO FINISH OFF WHAT I STARTED :)...IF YOU WANT IT....NOW IS THE TIME...SERIOUS BUYERS INQUIRE AS NEEDED,THANKS.
THIS IS "BETSY"....SHE HAS BEEN MY BABY FOR THE LAST FEW YEARS, BUT RECENTLY HAS WORN OUT HER WELCOME WITH ME, AND I HAVE REPLACED HER WITH A K5, SO IT'S TIME FOR THIS R20 TO FIND A NEW HOME. THIS IS A 1988 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN R20 TOWING PACKAGE MODEL, THIS IS ONE OF THE LAST "TRUE ORIGINAL SUV", FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO REMEMBER THE GOOD OLD DAYS, THESE ARE FAMILIAR TO YOU. WHEN I WAS A YOUNG LADD, WE SAW MANY OF THESE TOWING THE FINEST TRAVEL TRAILERS OF THE DAY, THIS WAS "THE" TRUCK TO HAVE IF YOU OWNED AN AIRSTREAM, OR BASICALLY ANY GOOD SIZED TRAILER BACK THEN.
I ACQUIRED "BETSY" FROM A GUY WHO USED TO HAVE A MARINE BUSINESS, AND HE USED HER TO TOW 20-40 FOOT PLEASURE BOATS WITH WHEN HE DID DELIVERIES, THE REST OF THE TIME SHE SAT UNDER A POLE BARN. FROM WHAT I CAN RECALL, THIS TRUCK HAS BEEN IN FLORIDA FOR THE BETTER PART OF 20 YEARS OR MORE. SHE MUST HAVE ORIGINALLY COME FROM THE NORTH, AS SHE IS A VERY RARE FACTORY "HEATER ONLY"MODEL, MEANING SHE WAS ORDERED WITHOUT A/C TO BEGIN WITH, JUST SEE THE FIREWALL FOR LACK OF AN EVAPORATOR HOLE. HOWEVER, SOMEONE HAD FACTORY AIR INSTALLED AT SOME POINT, AS I DISCOVERED THE EVAPORATOR IN DASH UNIT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO INSTALL A NEW STEREO SYSTEM. THE CONTROLS ARE STILL IN THE DASH TOO, AND SEEM TO WORK THE BLEND DOORS PROPERLY. APPEARS AS THOUGH SHE ORIGINALLY HAD CRUISE CONTROL TOO, BUT I NEVER DID DECODE THE RPO TO CONFIRM THAT OR NOT.
THIS IS A VERY RARE UNIT, IT NOT ONLY HAS THE 454 WITH TH 400 TRANS BEHIND IT, BUT IT HAS THE LARGEST REAR END CORPORATE GM EVER INSTALLED...THIS IS BASICALLY THE SAME REAR YOU WILL FIND IN THE MILITARY VERSIONS. IT APPEARS TO STILL HAVE THE 4.56 GEAR, BUT I NEVER DID CONFIRM THAT, I WAS TOLD IT WAS CHANGED TO 4.11, BUT FROM WHAT I CAN TELL, IT LOOKS LIKE IT WAS NEVER CHANGED. I'VE NEVER EVEN HAD THE WHEELS OFF, NEVER HAD A REASON TO, SHE STOPPED FINE AND WAS BEING DRIVEN A FEW DAYS A WEEK UNTIL A COUPLE MONTHS AGO. THIS IS A SOLID TRUCK, YOU WILL BE HARD PRESSED TO FIND ANOTHER SUBURBAN THAT IS AS CLEAN UNDERNEATH AS THIS ONE, YOU WILL NOT FIND THE DREADED ROCKER PANEL ROT UNDER THIS ONE.
THE PICS SAY A LOT, BUT SHE IS NO WHERE NEAR AS SHINEY AS I HAD HER EARLIER THIS SUMMER, BUT SITTING IN THE DRIVE WAY HAS STARTED TO DULL HER AGAIN, TIME FOR YOU TO COME RESCUE HER AND GIVE HER A NEW LEASE ON LIFE :)
I'VE SPENT A LOT OF TIME, SWEAT, BLOOD, MONEY, AND SOME TEARS ON THIS ONE OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS, BUT SHE HAS FINALLY PUSHED MY LAST BUTTON, NOW I JUST WANT HER GONE. SHE IS NOT CURRENTLY RUNNING, AND I BELIEVE A JUMPED TIMING CHAIN IS THE CULPRIT, BUT I COULD BE WRONG. RECENTLY I'VE INSTALLED A NEW DISTRIBUTOR, WITH MODULE, COIL, WIRES, CAP, ROTOR, PLUGS, YES MSD, WITH CARDONE DISTRIBUTOR, SHE HAS A NEW ALTERNATOR, NEW AC DELCO IN-TANK FUEL PUMP, NEW GAS TANK, NEW GAS TANK STRAPS AND HOSES INCLUDING THE FILLER HOSE. NEW POWER STEERING PUMP AND HOSES WITHIN THE LAST FEW YEARS. RECENTLY NEW WINDOW MOTORS, INSIDE DOOR HANDLES, TRIM, LOCK SWITCHES, WINDOW SWITCHES, AND SEALS ON THE RIGHT SIDE PASSENGER DOORS. I ORIGINALLY INTENDED TO DO A MINOR RESTORATION ON THIS SUBURBAN, BUT THAT TURNED INTO A NEVER ENDING PROJECT AS I WAS TRYING TO DRIVE HER AND USE HER FOR WORK AT THE SAME TIME. AS SUCH, SHE IS A WORK IN PROGRESS THAT I HAVE SPENT OVER $3500 ON TO DATE, INCLUDING HAVING THE TH400 REBUILT LESS THAN SIX MONTHS AGO.
SHE STILL NEEDS THE WINDOW MOTORS AND SWITCHES AND SEALS DONE WITH THE SAME CARE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE TO MAKE THAT STUFF RIGHT, STILL NEEDS A DECENT STEREO INSTALLED, COULD STAND TO HAVE THE FRONT SEATS RE-DONE, AND ONE CUSHION ON THE BACK SEAT, DASH PAD, ETC, MICKEY MOUSE STUFF BASICALLY. IF YOU WANT TO INSTALL A/C, THAT IS ON YOU, I NEVER NEEDED IT, WAS GOING TO JUST ADD OSCILLATING FANS INSIDE, AS THE VENTS HAVE ALWAYS WORKED GREAT, ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT DURING THE COOL SEASONS. RIGHT NOW THE DASH IS PARTLY DISASSEMBLED, BUT ALL THE PARTS, INCLUDING THE GM RADIO WILL BE INCLUDED. I EVEN HAVE THE FOUR, NICE, ORIGINAL FACTORY HUB CAPS THAT WILL BE INCLUDED. ONCE I GET MY STUFF OUT OF THE INTERIOR, I WILL TRY TO POST A FEW MORE PICS OF THE INSIDE. THE HEAD LINER WAS REPLACED JUST BEFORE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK, AND I ALSO REPLACED THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR VIEW MIRROR WHEN I DID THE WINDOW MOTORS. THE UPPER METALLIC GREY PART OF THE TRUCK WAS REPAINTED ABOUT FIVE TO SEVEN YEARS AGO FROM WHAT THE PREVIOUS OWNER TOLD ME, BUT THE REST OF THE PAINT IS MUCH OLDER, THE LOWER GREY APPEARS TO BE ORIGINAL.
THE FRONT GRILLE WAS ALSO ANOTHER PROJECT I DID WHEN I ADDED THE TRANSMISSION COOLER AND ELECTRIC FAN, THAT I NEVER DID GET WIRED IN, BUT IT FREE WHEELS AND COOLS JUST THE SAME. THE RADIATOR IS THE ORIGINAL HEAVY DUTY BRASS FOUR CORE AND IS IN GOOD SHAPE, THE FAN CLUTCH HAS BEEN REPLACED TOO. THE GRILL WAS A PROJECT UNTO ITSELF, LOTS OF TRIM PIECES, PAINTING, FITTING, ETC, AND I ADDED CHROME HEADLIGHT BEZELS, ALL FOUR HEADLIGHT BULBS ARE NEW AS WELL.
SHE HAS A VINTAGE OFFENHAUSER HIGH RISE DUAL PLANE INTAKE MANIFOLD NOW, THAT MADE A BIG DIFFERENCE, AND ALL OF THE TBI FUEL SYSTEM HAS BEEN REBUILT OR REPLACED WITHIN THE LAST TWO+ YEARS, INCLUDING A CUSTOM PROGRAMMED PROM FOR THE ECM, ALSO NEWER. I'VE TUNED AND TWEAKED THIS BABY FROM A LOUSY "9 MILES PER GALLON" WHEN I GOT HER, TO THE 16 MPG SHE CAN NOW ACHIEVE WHEN DRIVEN PROPERLY. YES, THAT IS CORRECT, I'VE MADE THIS TRUCK DO 16 MILES PER GALLON, THAT HAS BEEN TESTED REPEATEDLY OVER A 60 MILE ROUTE THAT I TOOK ROUTINELY, TRAVELING AN AVERAGE OF 55-60 MPH AS CONSISTENTLY AS POSSIBLE. DO NOT EXPECT TO GET THAT IN TOWN, I'VE SEEN AS LITTLE AS 10 MPG, AND AS MUCH AS 12 MPG IN TOWN. HOWEVER, I ALSO HAVE A 3.42 RING AND PINION BRAND NEW IN THE BOX, WITH BEARINGS AND PARTS TO REBUILD THE REAR INTO A MPG HIGHWAY MINDED UNIT, BUT NEVER GOT AROUND TO INSTALLING THEM, THEY WILL ALSO BE INCLUDED WITH THE TRUCK.
ALSO FORGOT TO MENTION SHE NOW HAS 1.73 ROLLER TIPPED ROCKERS ON THE DRIVER SIDE HEAD, BUT NEVER GOT TO FINISH THE OTHER SIDE, THE REST OF THE COMP CAMS ROCKERS WILL ALSO BE INCLUDED WITH THE TRUCK.
SO, IF YOU ARE FEELING FRISKY, AND ARE READY TO TOW-HAUL HER HOME, AND TAKE THE FRONT OF THE ENGINE APART AND DO A TIMING SET ON HER, BE MY GUEST, I AM OFFERING THIS SUBURBAN AT LESS THAN HALF OF WHAT I HAVE INVESTED, JUST TO GET HER OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY. I'VE GOT TOO MANY PROJECTS, NOT ENOUGH TIME, NEED THE SPACE,.etc..TIME FOR HER TO FIND A NEW HOME....SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY PLEASE, THANKS.
DAVE
AS ALWAYS, THANKS FOR STOPPING TO TAKE A LOOK, AND HAPPY EBAYING!!! :)

GM sees 'strong year' in 2018, then gold in Chevy Silverado for 2019
Tue, Jan 16 2018DETROIT — General Motors said on Tuesday it expects earnings in 2018 to be largely flat compared with 2017, but that profits should pick up pace in 2019 as its revamped line of high-margin pickup trucks hits the U.S. market. The 2018 earnings outlook was above market expectations, sending GM shares up more than 3 percent in premarket trading. "GM had a very good 2017 as we continued to transform our company to be more focused, resilient and profitable," GM Chief Executive Mary Barra said in a statement. "We are positioned for another strong year in 2018 and an even better one in 2019." GM and its Detroit rivals, Ford and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, are bringing on new trucks at a time when overall U.S. new vehicle sales have been falling, but truck sales continue to grow as consumers abandon passenger cars in favor of pickups, SUVs and crossovers. GM on Saturday fired a new round in the battle for profits from one of the U.S. auto industry's most lucrative segments when it showed a new generation of its Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck at the Detroit auto show. The new Silverado, a highlight of the event, is the successor to GM's best-selling vehicle in North America. Sales of the current Silverado rose nearly 2 percent to 585,000 vehicles in 2017. In the coming months, the company will also reveal a revamped GMC Sierra pickup truck. U.S. new vehicle sales fell 2 percent in 2017 after hitting a record high in 2016, and are expected to drop further in 2018 as interest rates rise and more late-model used cars return to dealer lots to compete with new ones. GM said on Tuesday that while it retools a factory in Ft. Wayne, Indiana, to make the new pickup trucks, it will shift some production to an Oshawa, Ontario, plant in order to avoid missing sales in a hot market for the vehicles. The No. 1 U.S. automaker said it will record a $7 billion non-cash charge for its fourth-quarter 2017 earnings related to deferred tax assets. GM said it expects capital expenditure in 2018 of around $8.5 billion, about $1 billion of which will go toward funding self-driving car technology. Last week, the company said it is seeking U.S. government approval for a fully autonomous car — one without a steering wheel, brake pedal or accelerator pedal — to enter the automaker's first commercial ride-sharing fleet in 2019. GM said it expects 2017 earnings per share at the high end of its previously forecast range of $6 to $6.50.
GMC Envoy could be returning as GM files for 'Envoy' trademark
Thu, Dec 27 2018The GMC Envoy could be on its way back, if a recent GM trademark filing is any indication of the future. To be exact, GM's trademark filing is for the name "Envoy," and is applicable to "motor vehicles, namely, sport utility vehicles, engines therefor and structural parts thereof." A victim of the recession and high gas prices, the original Envoy – related to the Blazer, and more recently the TrailBlazer and similar GM SUVs – was discontinued after the 2009 model year. In today's SUV-happy market of low gas prices, unearthing the somewhat familiar Envoy name makes a certain amount of sense. As soon as gas prices start trending in the other direction, we'll all be saying the opposite, though. What this SUV will take shape as is the big question now. With the Chevrolet Blazer well and truly on its way, there's every reason for a GMC version of Chevy's stylish new crossover sporting the Envoy name. Another, less likely, possibility is a Traverse-sized vehicle to slot between the shorter Acadia (10 inches shorter than the Chevy Traverse) and the body-on-frame Yukon. GM could come out of left field and make the Envoy a Buick too. It fits the bill with the "En" beginning, and Buick undoubtedly has crossovers in the works. We think that's even more unlikely, but it's important to remember that we're still in the speculation phase. Soon we'll drive Chevy's new Blazer, and perhaps have more news then. Check in next week for that. Related video:
