Oil Pan,
Yeah I wouldn't buy anything that wasn't from a major manufacturer. I was looking at the GE Nighthawks, but I will delay that purchase as long as possible to hopefully let the options increase and the prices decrease.
Cripple Rooster,
To hit my MPG goals, I will either have to change the body or fabricate an add on tail. I like the rear doors, but I would rather lose the doors than increase the length. Honestly as the Suburban is set to replace a truck, a tailgate style rear cargo area would be a better fit for carrying large and long cargo.
Oldtamiyaphile,
Yeah Rustoleum gloss white was my initial thought, unless I can find something that has published reflectivity and emissivity numbers that are both significantly better. I also plan on putting some self adhesive foam insulation on the underside of as well to help cut the heat transfer to the cabin. I know bare metals usually have terrible emissivity compared to painted surfaces.
Speaking of firewall seals I would also like to find a good foil faced high temperature insulation product for the engine firewall. I noticed today the stock stuff which has a black liner is starting to fall apart.
