1995 2 Stroke Swapped Suburban First Drive

That must be crazy hearing a Detroit going by and instead of seeing an old bus or an old mack you see a suburban going past you

When they made the “Detroit” powered suburbans, this is what they should have meant.

My father and grandfather did that to a GMC Jimmy back in the late '70's. They put in a 353. It was my grandfather's truck. He would pick me up from school in it. He had a pull knob to shut it down (fuel) and an emergency shutdown pull knob (air). He pulled an airstream all the way to Alaska in it. That sound brings back memories.

Cut the Floors and put an Eaton 10 speed in. Love your videos I used to own old two stroke dump trucks. Probably why I can’t hear much!

Wayne - if you ever have to pull the flywheel again, when you go back together, cut the heads off of a couple of long bolts to use as guide studs. Put them in the crank, slide flywheel on, slide spacer on. put your adapter plate in place, then put the flex plate on and tighten the flywheel bolts. Pull the line up studs and install the last two flywheel bolts. Easy peasy. Love the channel and content dude. Keep it coming!

Man I go through this same process - Buy piece of shit, fix it to sorta usable, then waffle on keeping and fixing it up some more - a week later my credit card is FUCKED up, and I still have a half-running piece of shit in my yard but it's loaded down with nice new parts... and the same amount of useful it was before. Just admit it, you're gonna keep this fuckin' thing. It's too cool.

700R4s do not have engine braking in the "OD" range - they have one-way clutches that prevent that. If you shift into the "D" range, it applies additional clutches that will enable engine braking in 1st-3rd. It sounds like your transmission might be a gas 700R4 based on the shift points. If you swap a 700R4 diesel governor into it (they're pretty cheap), it will probably shift at more sensible speeds.

I'm here for the junk and the working on thereof.

You may have to play with the weights on the governor in the trans. The 2 stroke isn't turning it enough rpms to make it shift they way it should. The low rpm is not creating enough line pressure to make the tv cable adjustment correct. When you go full throttle, the trans is set up for 5-6000, not 2500.

That spacers is bananas. But I love it.

She sounds real good. Love the sound of an old 2 stroke diesel.

The governor in the trans is for a gas engine. You need one for a 6.2 or 6.5 Detroit. That should make it shift right. Another possibility is fine somebody who knows how to modify the weights in the governor in it currently.

My A model has “no guts no glory” on the back of the bunk and every time I look at it I think of that clip from Gold Rush of ol Jack. I friggen died when that popped up😆😆

My man Wayne! Perfect timing on a Friday!

A 4L80E can be mated with an aftermarket controller and then you can get it to shift at the RPM's you want. With a hydraulic transmission you may be able to fenangle the throttle cable to get it to work fairly well but may not get it perfect.

this thing is literally a wet dream. thank you for making this exist on my feed.

Thanks for the show Wayne 🍻

Hell yeah! I needed this today! Freaking awesome.

I love watching you work on "old junk" much more than I would like to watch people work on expensive new things. I don't like to watch rich dudes rubbing it in my face. I like watching 2 stroker because I like seeing someone who is obviously doing something they love with obsolete things, not wasting things, making things work, doing good work, tasteful work, intelligent work. I can't stand people who do click bait, who trash things for no reason, who are destructive, materialistic, act stupid or crazy on purpose. 2 stroker comes off as a genuine dude and I believe he acts the way he is on camera when he is off camera and I think he is sincere in what he says. He would probably get more views and make more money if he was like that but, I am glad he isn't willing to sacrifice his class for that. My father was a trucker from Oswego County NY, he loved all this kind of stuff. I love hearing 2Stroker talk his accent reminds me so much of the working class upstate NYer guys I was around as a kid. It really warms my heart. It's also impressive to see a guy who is doing well in spite of all the downsides of living up in NY. The weather, the economy, the government, the laws, the rust, the cost of living, the taxes. I love it up there in the summer out in the country. I'm 41 and I was in the military and I just couldn't make it up there so I live Tennessee. Thanks making these videos, I really appreciate them.

Great video Wayne really enjoy watching you work on this 95 Burban. With a little fine tuning you'll get it running and maybe shifting better. Looking forward to your next video stay safe Wayne.
