Bringing the DD home after installing the new balancer. Towed great. I like that stance.

Balancer finally separated; picking it up after ditching it at a friends house. Tow rig is an all original 93 IDI turbo 5 speed. I had just pulled the Suburban on the trailer so the suspension on the dually had not settled yet; that's why it looks no...

Ah, yes. My Suburban in it's natural habitat; the gas station. First time in over two years that I have driven it on the road...grinning ear to ear. Bumped the the fuel pressure from 6 to 9 psi. Seems to have better throttle response.

Engine shot with the regulator and minus the factory filter manager. Not quite done at this point. Still need to pull the injection pump feed fitting and install a .375 fitting; not to mention the pump still needs to be wired.

Regulator assembly mounted. Simple bracket made out of 16 gauge steel (I think.) Seems fairly sturdy; I figure if I can not bend it by hand then it should survive under the hood. At least that is what I am hoping.

This is much better. Still ugly but nowhere near the monster of the previous setup. I can deal with this one a lot better. 3/8NPT to 1/8NPT nut out of the regulator to 1/8NPT Tee with 1/8NPT 90s on each end. Fuel pressure gauge is also 1/8NPT (of cou...

This monstrosity of a regulator setup. So far this is what I have. I'll make a stop a Lowes to see if I can find some different brass to tighten it up a bit. Eventually I'll have a different regulator to really clean things up. Yes, that is a fullsiz...

Just a small lift to clear the tires. Torsion bar tweak up front, 2" blocks and Monroe Sensatrac Load-adjust shocks in the rear.

BLING! H2s inside 305/70R17 Maxxis Bighorns (34").......a little big. Yes in this picture it is STOCK. NO twist on the t-bars. So far only thing removed is the front fender extensions behind the front bumper.

92 K2500 454 Suburban. Not bad for $800. Needs rear leaf springs. Pristine body. Good donor for mine.
