one FAILED idea FORCES me to SELL one of my project trucks

[@adamthatguy454]

Hate to see it go. You're the only person I could find that's really modifying those big block K2500/3500 trucks.

[@dylanwallace1104]

I've always had a soft spot for that body style too good luck selling it

[@Loudpedal10]

Sorry to see you have to sell the Suburban but I’m glad your not going to cut up such a nice vehicle.

[@altonware6078]

That kills me, because I was building my 99 2500 454 and you inspired the hell out of me. Not much support for this.

[@HeavyChevy]

That’s a nice truck, I’m sure you won’t have any problems selling it.

[@klumsytone]

The two trucks you decided to keep are essentially the same truck. Lol. The suburban would have diversified your audience.

[@T0tenkampf]

True, I would have rather seen the RCSB go but hes wanting two similar platforms for his displacement comparisons

[@monkeyCmonkeyDoo]

Hit the nail on the head, nothing screams boring, like building 2 of the same trucks. If we wanted an engine displacement/hp comparison, Richard Holdener has that covered in spades.

[@desvousges4230]

Man, I don’t think it was a failed idea. Pretty unique actually! Running out of room for projects sucks.

[@satan6660384]

I've been there before. Sometimes it's better to just pass the projects on to someone else.

[@jess70502]

Well hell, I went and bought a 97 k3500 because of that suburban! I guess I live just north of Salt Lake City so if you feel the need to do some OBS content let me know!

[@shallowhal5946]

Fuel the Al Gor ithm. Smash that like button, comment, subscribe, click the notification bell and share the video.

[@kanakamaoli9642]

The Suburban would be a good project for the guys at Powernation TV, I hear they got deep pockets.

[@ictcarguy3162]

If I didn't already have the same problem of too many vehicles and projects I'd scoop it up. Awesome truck with the 0411 modification, GMT800 brakes and rear end upgrade. I don't see why it doesn't bring 8-9k pretty easy.

[@josenoyola9851]

Stop being nice! You could get 10k for it

[@tedroosevelt9718]

I'm heart is broken, the work you do on this truck is 99% of why i subscribe. Not much support for these trucks, mostly just for the newer trucks and diesels. 🥺

[@mmasinator]

Just link this video to the for sale ad and you should get your money back lol

[@matthewf1979]

You made my heart skip. I thought you were ditching one of the two pick ups!

[@doug3805]

I don’t see why you can’t get your money back, the price of used vehicles here in north Fl are outrageous. That would sell quickly here for that price.

[@LSandL31]

I’d set the asking price at $8000🤷‍♂️

[@raystevens687]

Hi 👋 👋 👋 👋 👋 LT thanks for your video and your Honesty. I do wish I could buy your Suburban but unfortunately its not the kinda vehicle I'm looking for. But if I was in the market for a big vehicle I would buy it in a second. Also want to thank you for all the hard work you've put into all your vehicles each 1 has its Merits of something special. So keep up the good work. Thanks Ray in Idaho

[@johnsmith-qz4bv]

merry chrismas and happy new year all the best in 2022

[@ronfrance4041]

In 2004 I worked my tail off to buy my first nice truck when I was 16. Dropped $5k on an immaculate 1993 k1500 rcsb z71, factory bucket seats, 350 AT, victory red. I never drove it in winter all these years here in Maine. And I still have it to this day. I too wanted a gmt400 ccsb but an ‘07 ccsb LBZ classic made more sense for my needs. So i found one 4 years ago with 58k miles that had never been driven in winter Reason I still have the ‘93 is bc I love everything about that truck and my dad said when he was 16 he had a ‘67 GTO convertible 400 4 speed that he wishes he never sold and he told me to not make the same mistake. Not that it compares to a GTO haha

[@EreksonJ]

I hope you're aware of KSL classifieds. It's the most popular classifieds platform in Utah and it is the highest quality platform I've ever seen. It's also free. Just throwing it out there in case you didn't know.

[@LawrenceTolman]

yup, I've used KSL before. I haven't listed the suburban on there yet because I figured I'd give a subscriber a shot, but if nothing happens in a week or two, it'll get listed locally.

[@FunnyMuffler]

It's a nice Suburban for sure! Good luck with the sale.

[@s.gossett5966]

I have a 93 k1500 sitting here that I would love to replace with a 2500, but it's safe to say that what I could offer is not what you need. Good luck, it's got a lot of potential and as others have said, it's a seller's market.

[@romanquintanilla3842]

If you were here on Guam I'd sure as hell give you that 10 7 for it!!!

[@tommoon2700]

My dream truck 😍 wish I wasn't so broke 🤣

[@TBGaels32]

After everything you’ve done with this GMT 400, I wish I could pick it up.

[@apimpnamedslickback2748]

Im very sad to see it go, we need another one!

[@thenotsojollyrancher-akate9516]

Ahh man, I have one I’m working on and I liked your input. Downer!

[@alltheboost5363]

I'm in New Hampshire by Berlin and I'm definitely interested in it I would just need time. We have a 1500 LTZ Suburban that my wife drives.... and we need something that'll tow. I have a old Datsun that I take all over the country and I've driven it two New Mexico to Georgia back up here and back and forth to those locations like four or five times now.

[@fcervantes4920]

I just got myself a 97 k3500 dually with a supercharged 454 and I was following your build so i could see if anything was applicable to my truck plus I also had a 97 k2500 suburban as well!

[@markszczepaniak5888]

LT I totally get it with playing musical cars and trucks, I go threw the same thing, I own 4 cars and trucks, plus my kids have there own and my sister lives with us plus hers. Looking forward for everybody to move out soon. Merry Christmas and Happy New year to you and family.

[@peterpeterson7784]

Local used car dealer had a 1996 K2500 suburban for sale and was asking $18,995. But it only had 100,000 miles and was the cleanest used car I have ever seen. It had gray leather with red stitching and of course the 454. We have a 99 K2500 suburban at work that is in really nice shape for having just under 300,000 miles on it. No rust anywhere, and the original engine an transmission. I seem to have the same bucket list as you do. Few years ago I almost bought a 96 two door 4x4 Tahoe that was in very nice shape and low miles and I think they were asking like $10,000, this was before the Covid tax.

[@_Hanover_]

I think you will be surprised at what you can sell this truck for. Used truck prices have gotten completely out of hand in the past 6 months.

[@lowlife7453]

I have 91 extended cab shortbox I restored after grandpa died. People stop all the time and ask to buy it. I wonder if LT would trade? haha get rid of one project for another!

[@jeyweb4236]

7 is my project count...lol

[@Todd_S]

Those are solid trucks. I drove a similar GMT400 Suburban that belonged to a friend back in 2000. It was the same color too. Nice upgrades that you've done to this Suburban. Someone will get one of the best SUVs of that era when they buy your Suburban K2500.

[@SawmillerSmith]

I like the truck. I had a 96 with a 350 and 415,000 when I sold it. I was rusting away.

[@Funtimes670]

I’m sure in today’s market 10k for a rock solid burb would not be unreasonable!

[@RandBLSWorld]

Totally get it.. I am glad someone else will get to enjoy it..

[@skuz34]

i think the fact that you fixed the stupid narrow rear axle alone should justify someone at least paying 10k for that thing

[@kristoferfc6525]

Damn was hoping you'd still be doing this truck and upgrades since I own a 96 K1500

[@FirstLast-we8cb]

Noooooooo! What a cool vehicle. Makes sense though. I only have room for one project car. :-(

[@jacobgann8686]

Ahh damn it I’m pissed. You are the only guy who’s re doing these big blocks. I’m 7 years in professional automotive. And before I tear down my engine completely I wanna know 100% cuz it’s my daily lmao, please get another 7.4 and do a carb swap it stock bottom end. I’ve heard you can make 600 HP. LETS SEE

[@lizzifoster4161]

So hi, if it where me I'd drop another 2000$ into a set of 5L porsche 928 32v cylinder head and serpentine setups on this and toss the pushrods in a box.. it would not only gain 130-150hp safe and permanent plus better gas mileage. The latter being why this truck just holds money like a leaky bucket. It like any big block burns too much gas, for the power they make out of the box. Then we pay to build them, loose all the investment almost immediately as most parts won't resell, then happily drive the machine we made into our "baby"lolol good luck!

[@sportmedtech]

I actually think content wise this is a mistake. These GMT 400’s are getting hotter especially with new car chip shortages and the big push for electric vehicles. People want these old trucks and content online fixing and modifying is scarce. I would have dumped the AT4 while the market for newer used trucks is smoking hot. Plus as a former owner of an AT4 the truck is not what I had hoped. From clunky suspension, to interior squeaks to the infotainment system glitching out. I think the suburban would have made a great overland/camping rig especially where you live. With camping and off-roading videos getting tons of views this would have made a cool series.

[@TXChevy]

Ditch the tow rig. Great plan

[@mikealexander4166]

1 of my favorite episodes was when you swapped out the ecu. That mess off wires and it worked. I believe you had 1 wire wrong and figured it out. Was looking forward to this build. But as a guy with 8 boats I understand you have to set some free. Just sold three now I’m down to 7. Yea I know, it’s new math.

[@LawrenceTolman]

that's the curse of the car guy. never enough time or space to tackle all the projects you want to

[@mcous7654]

I don't understand what people do in there vehicles i have never destroyed an interior like what you see in 90% of vehicles.

[@devonosborne2512]

This truck was the inspiration for modding my k2500 crew cab short box, kinda upset to see it go! I'll have to figure some stuff out on my own now lol.

[@Vectrum0013]

probably my favorite project truck on your channel, wish i needed it, id buy it

[@DMCollins1977]

That looks like a great foundation for someone to finish almost ready for another 300 plus thousand miles

[@randymullican8951]

Can you confirm no change in the turning radius and has this swap increased your bump steer

[@leeredmon9179]

Wish you were closer to Florida. I love that body style Suburban

[@jeffboyer8214]

You have done a lot to it. It's ok to sell off one now and then. Be safe.

[@b.s.adventures9421]

Solid truck. She’ll go to a good home.

[@huntercole7750]

Do you think the front disk upgrade is better than a rear end swap?

[@jimyounger9490]

Garbage truck , I’m sorry. Good winter beater.

[@blindguygarage]

You need to move to Tennessee LOL stay out of subdivisions

[@gregorylee8832]

Lt, just started watching ur site. I have a 2000 BBC 4dr that u would love to put a power adder on. What do u recommend? I need torque to pull trl. There r limited options b/c of age. Companies have discontinued kits for gmt400. Whipple would be best but I am flexible. Help please.

[@LawrenceTolman]

I believe procharger still makes a supercharger kit for the 454 trucks, although it is a centrifugal which means it makes most of its power gains at higher RPM. but as far as kits, I believe they may be the only one.

[@jeffrey4547]

i have 10 acres just for project rigs then my place is on 10 acres my drive way looks like a car lot but i try to only collect 79 and older and rust free for project rigs chevy and fords plus i get a lot of the 450 hp 454 4 inch stroke engines with the 02xx 400 r turbo and a good line on 390 fe blocks think the guy got 8 good running 390's 300 each to me only or tradeone thing good about chevy a sbc distributor fits a bbc just need to change the counter weights get a lot of sbc after market parts from engines i pull and i put bbc in all my chevy's

[@jeffrey4547]

ps if u really like this new of a rig i get them for free all the time i just give my friend a 2005 gmc with a 5.3 LS only thing wrong with the truck was the trans needed a new stall converter and i would rebuild the trans short box black on black good paint no rips in the interior. my friend has about 8 rigs about the same year as yours one is a step side . i like the year i am building now a 68 pu have lots of rust free square body trucks

[@patbrown7813]

Howdy LT, I imagine the Suburban was sold several months ago? If not, please let me know. I just went down to Tucson & looked at one yesterday. Thanks, Pat

[@LawrenceTolman]

yup, sold back in January, but thanks for your interest!

[@OGbqze]

I have the same color 99 4door Tahoe 4x4 with the 5.7. it's hands down the most reliable and best vehicle I have ever driven.

[@OGbqze]

My girlfriend also has the exact Tahoe but tan. Hers has 273k mine has 210k. Both still drive like a new truck, but I also baby both of them with maintenance.

[@vinosfinostapasandwinebar5109]

Sad day indeed. I was enjoying the rehab. I would have dumped another car. Best of luck. Love the Chevy 400

[@LawrenceTolman]

we'll get another GMT400 at some point...

[@thebigv8644]

Damn it, I want that suburban!!

[@sellickusa]

Ship the Suburban back to Maine and get top dollar for it

[@InnocentMiscreant]

You can drive it as is or have a great starting point for a project with whats done especially the computer swap

[@a2cryss]

Sorry if I missed but how many miles?

[@sb0mb]

I feel your pain, 2004 8.1 1500 Silverado, 2005 kodiak 5500 8.1, 2002 3500 express van 8.1, 1991 s10 ext cab 8.1, 2004 Chevy Canyon 8.8 psi, 2005 colorado parts truck , 2005 silverado 1500 LB 4.3 and going to pick up another canyon in Reno.

[@CVPI03]

you’ll sell that real quick if you were in texas

[@compressionignition7315]

I was hoping it has a 6.5L Detroit Diesel.

[@stevemcinnis4794]

An engine shampoo would get you alot more money 💰

[@jessesneed2364]

I've seen one modified to be an Avalanche. You're 100% correct about the renderings, not a good look.

[@AircraftMechanic-AP]

I want that suburban but I'd have to trade you my project 🙂 It's an 88 c1500. Frame, suspension, fully restored. 5.3 ss2 cam, 5 speed manual. 14 bolt SF rear end swap. 3/4 ton front brakes swap, NBS wheels, brand new tires, etc Needs paint and body work done and other odds and ends. Basically a lot of time and space that you don't have 🤣

[@Yousitech]

The rendering is wrong btw, yall left out the triangle roof support. Regular avalanche has that, your rendering doesn't, also a newer avalanche has the wheel in the same spot in relation to the door. Whoever did your rendering has never seen an avalanche lmao

[@jamesyork6023]

Funny story, before you bought this suburban I had a 1997 K2500 I bought a Dana super 70 from a 2004 express 3500 by accident thinking it was a 10.5 from a pickup. Never got around to putting it in and sold the truck, cool to see someone follow through with it!

[@nathtcamp]

Adam I have been following this build b/c I had an 07 Tahoe 4wd with 5.3. But I desperately missed being able to shift into 4wd with a lever like my 1978 Scottsdale. I was so excited to think that you were going to do what I Always wanted. Cut the back out of and suv. Brilliant.!! Man I wish i could buy your build and finish it for you.... Please reconsider!!!!

[@bajangobangle3910]

DId you ever swap the master cylinder for that rear diff swap or did you figure something else out? Also are you willing to share your 0411 454 PCM tune? I would like to do the same for my 99 CCSB.

[@jeremyross5829]

Wish I had the money to buy it.

[@kevincalvert7084]

I’d say 10k all day in this market. I got 8k for my 97 6.5 diesel k2500 here in Kentucky and it was from up northern Indiana and rusted.

[@bluesteeljay9343]

Dually dana 70 with gmt400 dually bed fenders, Denali front end conversion. Raise it 4 inches with 33s

[@tjmoneybags]

good decision....ton of work for kinda....what

[@SamOHalloran]

I don't blame you, with the other two projects you have going this one doesn't really make sense. But, it's the rig that I found your channel through. These might be my favorite machines on the road. Ah well.

[@robchopshopdually]

This sucks!!! I built a 97 crew short bed 1/2 ton out of a ext cab 1/2 ton. Love the gmt400

[@jasonlovell3934]

If the body and paint were better it would be worth more than the $10500 you have in it.

[@LawrenceTolman]

yeah, thats the bad part about it, is the cosmetics. runs solid, but does look rough

[@6806goats1]

When you were testing the 4.8L truck in the final video I was going to ask you if you are in Utah. Sure enough. Good luck with your sale. I'm overseas but home is around 200 miles north. Too many projects as well even if I've been thinking about getting a Suburban. Peace out!

[@quadsquadracingable]

I love that rig! I have a gmc half ton with a crate 350 and now a bad 700r4. But like you I have to many projects

[@supertruck1187]

I'll trade you a red 91 Chevy 1500 Sport for it. It needs work but runs. lol

[@jeromeburrasca6710]

Suburban’s are skyrocketing in price right now. You’ll definitely regret selling it.

[@RHYNOMAN12]

I miss my 89 short box reg cab. 350 swapped with super chip. Nothing to brag about it was just a work horse.

[@herculesinwyoming]

That's about the last real suburban, the generations after have less cargo space and are not near as capable, as well you can no longer get a 2500 suburban from gm.

[@sp192x]

I'm glad you sold the car, resubscribed

[@T0tenkampf]

Bimmer hatred lol?

[@nicolasboren6681]

I'm doing something similar but with the square body Suburban and a K5

[@LSandL31]

I have a 99 K2500 I’ll be cutting up if someone wants the back half to graft won.

[@ForeverLoco4]

Sxsblog did a giveaway with a 99 burb with the 454. Do a giveaway?

[@benjaminaguirre5755]

If I had money I’d totally buy it. Gmt400 suburbans are tanks.

[@USSRairsoft]

I am really sad to see you move on to other projects. This was the only project of yours that I had interest in. No doubt someone will be willing to offer you more than I'm willing to offer for it. Thanks for what you have shared and best wishes on your future projects! Good bye.

[@Timmy6216]

I'm sorry the big girl has to go. Mine had to also. The Cummins that replaced it is comforting

[@1tylerproud]

I love big block suburbans.

[@jayroberts636]

With the way the market is right now 8~10 grand isn’t that far out of the ballpark

[@twoninecav]

Also!! My two cents is you’re asking price is a little low. You have done some real quality upgrades Sir.

[@mrmatt7210]

Considering the used car market has gone very crazy, your asking price may actually be low. I've seen four year old 4x4 trucks which are priced 5-8 thousand dollars more than they sold for new.
