OK, update

We had the final lung CT scan today and that too showed nothing abnormal. So we have established a whole lot of things that are well within limits. But she is still getting very winded from doing about nothing at all.

Yea, she may be a bit out of my league, but, hey, the pilots get lucky every once in awhile!

Her blood pressure today was a high of 90/60 and a low of 78/58. I have personally never seen blood pressures that low in anybody. But having exhausted all tests they let her go home. Hell I don't know what to do. She is obviously sick, but they can't find a good reason so they are done with the in hospital stuff. Maybe that's OK, but she insists she is going back to work and it's like fighting city hall getting her to slow down on anything.

Don, my mamma has low BP as well.
Not always that low but I have saw those before and was floored too.
If she breaks 100 she’s having a bad day.

Hope there is something found, getting winded doing nothing is no fun.
I just don't want to wind up missing a digit or limb.  I can sometimes get in a hurry to get results.

Feel stupid asking Don, but have they ruled out something with the bloods ability to carry oxygen?  Sometimes it’s the obvious we forget to look for.  Continued prayers-

My wife and daughter have the same BP.

I would think O2 content/transfer too, almost like COPD that my mom had. 95%+ at rest, down to 80 when she moved around but she smoked for 40 years.

Time for a specialist!

She will still be in our prayers Don.

Not to take away from what she's going through, but I found out that I have the almost exact BP. Yesterday went in for routine visit, and was 92/60. My wife checked last night and it was 80, this morning it was 72. I'm like WTH. Difference is, I feel perfectly fine. ... always been 120ish .

Continued prayers from us too, Chief. Same as others here, my wife runs 80s/60s or so, regularly. Run a half marathon still under 100. Please keep us all updated. She will be covered in prayer for a good long while.

Thank you all and thanks from her as well. Wonderful to get support from so many good people!

She is home, and it is both the anniversary of the start of Desert Storm and the night our middle daughter was born. We sang happy birthday and ate some cake. My thoughts were half a world away...Wow, what a night!

So, let me bring us back to the build of this Suburban.

Tonight I used the Autocal to collect the stock tune from the Burb's computer. I sent that file to Black Bear Performance. For those who are tuning and making big engine changes concurrently like I am, he will build a file just to get you running and ballparked. Afterward we have to log data, download that file and send it back to him for the necessary adjustments.

I am very much looking forward to this process and to see what this man can do to dial in this cool old Suburban.

I'd plan on 10mpg Don....if it does better, celebrate. Most folks I know with 3/4 ton Burbs generally consider above 10mpg a bonus/happy moment. At least at freeway speeds 75mph ish.

On our cross country trips in a 2500 Yukon XL running 285/75/16 w electric fans, we get 15.5 mpg at 70 MPH.

Very encouraging!
I remember a nice little bump in my H2 when I replaced that gynormous clutch fan with electric fans...

Are you stock height with the 285's?

Black Bear sounds like a solid tuner. Have a trip this weekend and will have to call him when I get back.

Are you doing a multi tune Don or just 1 tune?

I think we will settle in on just a single although evolving tune.

I say evolving, because I will start with something to get the thing just running

Then, according to Justin's system, I will record while driving and send that to him. From that he will be able to tighten up the shot group and get a good tune established. Subsequent to that, he retunes whenever required.

I see a changed needed for possible:
Tire size change
Addition of another intake manifold???
larger shortblock???
Supercharger???
gear ratio change???

and things like that.

They are friendly and helpful people with years of tuning experience on this motor.

So she is home, but something is very wrong, but we don't know what it is yet. Appointments are now scattered beyond the first week of Feb. On a positive note the youngest Pre-Ranger just won 1st place at the regional championship meet today. He will wrestle for the state championship in the 123lb class at the next meet!!!!!!!!!
He looks like he came out of a biker bar proclaiming fairies ride Harleys. Eye, cheek, temple, chin all cut/scraped/bruised. The bruiser came home, ate something and went to bed before seven PM!

OK, should be able to get back to work on the Burb tomorrow. Supposed to be a snow day, so some light wood splitting and stacking then on to yankin' the motor

Purchased the wheels tonight. 4 Wheel Parts had too good to pass up deal on the old trusty Pro-Comp 1069's. I did compromise just a bit and purchased a 17 X 9 wheel because i may stand up to a 35 inch tire later on and want a tad less sidewall for handling. Walked away with five wheels tax + shipping (free) for $479

I almost purchased the tires but I am not decided on the size yet. I am leaning heavily on a 285/75 or a 295/70, both of which are 33" tall. THe latter being 12" wide and the 285, 11" wide. Either would fit the 9" wheel, although the 295 a bit better. Dick Cepek has a $200 off for purchase of 4 special now at 4-wheel...

Don, are you in an area that has ticks? I live in Maine and we are overrun with ticks and have many cases of Lyme disease. Those buggers will mess you up. I have a co-worker that has been dealing with it. Dizziness, memory issues, hard breathing after climbing stairs, etc. Good heart had checked out fine which then lead them down the path of Lyme. Just a thought.

Now that's interesting
Tics, yes, lots of them. I never get them but the dogs do, and sometimes the Mrs and the kids.
Very interesting...

I believe there is a country song that follows that line “ I wanna check you for ticks”

Good wheel choice, I think they had a black wheel option vs the polished aluminum.  Not sure if the black would be easier to re finish? Or if it meet the price point.  17x9 is the same wheel I have run for years. Works well

Same wheel I have on my D-Max since 2012.

They will not stay bare aluminum. Plan to paint them, thought the straight up aluminum would be easiest to etch prior to paint.

This van has the Nissan Cummins motor, seating for 12 and 4x4, the tires on it are 35x12.50/18.   It was actually a decent looking rig really
Plus the roof tent, rear tire rack and so forth.

Got the engine out today, as I am easing back into working on projects. Spent the morning looking after moma, then hauled and split a chord of firewood, then got on the Burb. First thing I did was to rig the hood into the service position. Pretty handy I think!

And I got jammed up right there. I need four long 10.9 X 1.5 bolts to bolt the block to the engine stand, and guess what I didn't have any of?

So in the wee hours of the morn, I'll get some of those and get the ball pushed further down the road

This van has the Nissan Cummins motor, seating for 12 and 4x4, the tires on it are 35x12.50/18.   It was actually a decent looking rig really
Plus the roof tent, rear tire rack and so forth.

Dave, did they have a price on that thing? Had to have been through the roof. The titan with that engine is ridiculous.
It didn’t have a price tag.  I think they were more showing off the wears of that rig.    In the end it’s still a Nissan lol

Nice for just a days work i'd say.

Just came from the Sportsman Show in Sac, the money there is crazy. Saw 6x6 rig that was well over the 250k mark and bigger than many military trucks.

Look outside the box for the wife, more prayers sent you way.

This is what popped out at me... $30K less than a Suburban??? I wonder what they are listing a new Burb at? $100K?

When Ian from BigTire Garage was on XOR he did a build of something similar. Looked pretty interesting.

Close. They’re easily 75k, 80k+ if you get into chevy’s equivalent of the Denali. It’s sad, it seems the new large GM SUVs have become so much of a “status symbol” that they know they can price them as such. I should know - it’s the next ride momma wants. We will not be going new, though.
