Default Tow Vehicle: Anyone know of a good Suburban Forum?

I recently picked up a 2002 Chevy Suburban (1500) Z-71, tow package, etc and naturally I've got the mod itch for it... go figure.

Anyone know of an active Forum online that deals in Chevy trucks, or specifically with the Suburban?

On LS1tech they have a link on the top to Performance Truck. Fairly good forum and several on there tow enclosed trailers regularly.

About the Trans, get a Transgo shift kit, vette synchro and a billit OD servo. This should hold up to most towing situations. If you are going to tow an enclosed trailer, try to get the 2500 Burb as it has the 4L80E trans.

Mod 1, as already said, a tranny cooler.

Mod 2, Volant cold air induction. I have one on my 2005 Silverado. The fit, finish, and quality is second to none.

And thanks for the heads up Randy on the tranny... I'm researching and shopping for a cooler now.
