Default School Bus

It's a 2003 Suburban that my Girlfriend calls "The School Bus." Bought off dad when he hit his midlife crisis and bought a Charger. And this is how it sits.





Was stock at this point.



Get larger tires and crank keys.



G80 with 3.73s explodes.



I overdo it and put 4.88s in the truck front and rear with a Trutrack in the 10 bolt.






Put some bullet hole wheels on it but more importantly I melt down the 4L60e on a beach.





Get everything and the kitchen sink with a 2,600 rpm converter





1.5 inch body lift and 33x12.5 muds.



Bend up a new track bar to clear the new diff cover.




Fun stuff. 226/226 duration, 0.598/0.598 lift, 111 LSA Cam. Also a Trailblazer SS intake with LS2 injectors and the 87 mm throttle body.










Annnnd the converter blows




So as of now Circle D 3,200 on the way.

I am honored to be the first post on your build thread!

I love your rig.

How did you blow your converter?

Now have a 10.5 inch Pro Series Stage III Billet Multi Disk from Circle-D. Hits 3,200 right on the nose. Truck needs some trans tuning cause there was a bit of a line pressure drop and now it's banging off the rev limiter between shifts.
