Re: 86 Suburban daily driver

First order of business will be to check things out and start fixing stuff. I re-packed the front wheel bearings, replaced the rear wheel bearings, and drained the rear diff oil. I noticed a spider gear that had more run through it than just 80-90, so that needed attention. I evaluated the cost of new spider gears, and ultimately decided to replace it with a Quick Performance posi. I also did all the bearings in the diff and put in a crush sleeve eliminator. The driveshaft had bad u-joints, so those were replaced too.
