Re: 1988 Suburban "V Rig" Gets Cummins Power

More progress. I made a new bracket to mount the rear brake line to. I transferred the brake lines over from the old 14 bolt, and installed a new rubber line.



I also finished welding the tail pipe up. I had to remove 1" above the rear axle so the tail pipe wouldn't hit the fuel tank shield. This whole exhaust kit started out as a 4" after market kit to fit a 1993 Dodge cummins truck. I've modified what needed to be to make it work on this Burb.



Tony, the owner of the "V Rig", made this cool skid plate to protect the trans cooler. It is made from 1/4" aluminum, and has a hinge on the front so you can lower it down for maintenance or cleaning.
