Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"
Much like last winter, I started a winter to do check list. I have been picking off the items.
I have always had high crank case pressure with my LS set up. Delmo uses valve cover breathers on the vintage valve covers like mine to help with this. I had on on the passenger side so I added a 2nd one to the driver side. I also swapped out my oil cap/breather with a black AC Delco one that I thought looked better. This cap also looks to provide better venting than that last one due to the bigger holes. Kind of a win/win with the cap.
I also had an exhaust hanger break on the passenger side. When fabbing up exhaust we used some 1/2" SS tube I had laying around to make the hangers. This one has broken once before. I decided to remove the exhaust and replace both hangers with 1/2" SS rod. It wont break this time. My Friend Josh (JJH Jimmy on this forum) helped me with the fab work and tig work on the hangers.
Josh is one of the many people that I have met in real life from this forum. Everyone I have met in real life have been solid dudes. Josh has a nice lifted K5 Blazer, and he just completed a 4wd long bed lifted square body. He has an AD 5 window next on the list that I look forward to helping him with.
