Description of 1994 Chevrolet Suburban

This is a complete running converted 1994 Chevy Suburban with a 1997.5 Dodge Cummins 6BT diesel engine. All new shocks, leaf springs, clutch, tires (and new rings for the wheels), and brakes this year. Also done was rewiring of the critical electric components, new steering box and components, radiator, boost hoses, clamps, etc. It has a new FASS fuel pump and still have an extra FASS inside the storage bins. Inside is an electric inverter to use regular power outlets and an audio system with underseat sub and amplifier. Also, has some custom sliding storage bins and a small toolbox with tools and some parts. Outside is a 15,000lb Warn winch and all custom bumpers, exo-cage, and roofrack. See details below.
There is some rust and the engine burns some oil but no engine oil leaks. There is also a small dent in passenger side door from backing into a short pole - the door functions normally. The odometer/speedometer doesn't work and the fuel gauge is acting up. It was upgraded with new wiring and fuel tank sump but I think the connection became disconnected on my camping trip. I had the wiring to the roof lights left disconnected when the electrical work was done - that area of wiring needs replacement and was considering changing to a LED lighting system. Cosmetically it needs some work but the drivetrain, steering, suspension is rock solid and built to last. It still fires up on the 1st turn of the key.
All of the work done since I owned it was done by the guys who built the "Doomsday Diesel" from the Power Diesel magazine. They took what I bought and fixed almost every issue that I had with it. See the mods/repairs/additions below**
I am selling it because I am going on the road and I dont want to put it in storage nor do I want to spend the money to continue making it "perfect". I rarely use it and it needs someone with the skills and the space to keep it and use it the way it should.
If I had the $$$ I would have an AC installed (yes the AC pump is still attached) and have the engine rebuilt to add more power. After that I would have the exterior/interior cosmetics done.
Also, yes it is California smog approved and I had it registered. The tags are expired, however.
