    2004 Suburban LT 4x4 8.1 Great Tow Vehicle

    Yes, I agree with you about the high gas prices, but this Suburban 8.1 is specifically designed for towing most of the times. I have seen plenty of "soccer moms" driving the Suburbans w/ 5.3 or Tahoes that use so much of gas and don't even use it for towing. My suburban is a tow vehicle than...

    2004 Suburban LT 4x4 8.1 Great Tow Vehicle

    About 11 mpg city and 14 mpg hwy. If you put an egg under the pedal, you may be lucky to get 15-16mpg hwy. When towing our 30ft travel trailer (about 6,000+ lbs), it gets about 8-9 mpg depending how fast you go. The faster you go, the mpg decreases. Yes, it tows like a breeze and very stability...

    What Factor(s) Made You Purchase Your First Turbo Buick???

    Back in High School time during the late 1980's, a rich boy who had a Grand National always did the burning out leaving the parking lot and I thought it was a cool black mean-looking car. After graduating high school, I went looking for a GN and realized that it was out of my price range. I...

    2004 Suburban LT 4x4 8.1 Great Tow Vehicle

    Reduced again... $23,000. You can't find a nicer Suburban 8.1 than this one. BTW, am I advertising it in the wrong forum or am I asking too much? Most of dealers are selling similar Suburbans for $25,000 or more. I sold my 87 GN through this forum and see my feedback through VegasSE. Also, I...

    POSITIVE FEEDBACK FOR JimBlackGN + 86NYGN

    Hey! Yes, Todd is correct. I can see that Gary took extremely care of these GNs just like he owns the cars. I already told Gary that I will call him to transport my car in the future after I have seen him handling the cars. Also, not just that, but he was a great communicator and kept me in the...

    87 GN w/ astroroof near Indy for sale

    The weather-stripping is great! It was replaced just before I bought the car. No leaks at all. Yes, it opens and closes very good at a normal speed. Unfortunately, Nathan was going to mail me the original tool kit that belongs to the GN, but never received it. I bought an "allen" type tool and...

    87 GN w/ astroroof near Indy for sale

    I regret that it is time for me to sell my Grand National. It is too good to be used for a daily driving as I have a Suburban 2500 w/ 8.1 engine and it sucks in gas. I need to sell my GN and buy another car with good MPG, so I can start driving it and put my Suburban aside for towing only. OK...

    Which auto store to purchase alternator?

    My 87 GN needs to replace a weak alternator. It was tested and discovered that it is only feeding 76amps. It should be around 120 or 125amps for GN cars. Is it the reason why my car wasn't going quick enough because fuel pump wasn't functioning 100 percent? Anyway, Auto Zone has an OEM...

    Installed adj regulator, cold/warm different pressure reading??

    Yes, checked it again with vacuum line off when it was hot. Set at 42 1/2 psi. Next morning, when starting up the engine, I immediately checked the fuel gauge. It was showing around 46-47 psi. Few minutes later when engine is warmed up, it returned to 42 1/2 psi. Obvious something is wrong...

    Installed adj regulator, cold/warm different pressure reading??

    Billet adj fuel pressure regulator installed in my 87 GN. Set at 42 1/2 psi with vacuum line off when first started the engine. After a little while of driving, I re-checked the fuel gauge and discovered that it has dropped few psi's. So I re-adjusted it to 42 1/2 psi again when engine is warmed...

    engine runs high idle I gave my GN a good ride for about 20 miles gently and easy on gas... no 'check engine' warning light and it no longer smell gas out of the container. I am glad that it is okay now. Only one thing is still bothering me. When I shut it off for about 2 minutes then...

    Check engine code and gas smell

    Thanks very much for the web site address! It is relieved that it is still existing! What happened to GN/TType web site? Anyway, are you suggesting that I should let it run a little longer and 02 will get back to normal due to that it had been sitting for a long time? An old gas (probably 9...

    Check engine code and gas smell

    Hi. I just woke up my 1987 GN with 92k miles today and drove it. The last time it was on the road was last October. After about 20 miles, the check engine came on. I ran the code reader and it came out as "45". I checked gnttype on the web site, but they no longer there?? When I opened the hood...
