    STUCK ON THE ROAD- 2001 Chevy Suburban 2500 6.0

    That above (disintegrated) reason is why he removed it. He did new brake lines when he did that as well so we’re good there. I’ll get it in to the shop and see what they have to say about it. I don’t have anywhere I could work on it anyway. thanks for all the input guys, greatly appreciated...

    STUCK ON THE ROAD- 2001 Chevy Suburban 2500 6.0

    He said he brought it to the dealer. To be honest I got the truck cheap enough to not really worry about it. I knew what I was potentially getting into, I can sell it for at least what I paid including some repairs done, despite putting 20k miles on it.

    STUCK ON THE ROAD- 2001 Chevy Suburban 2500 6.0

    Good idea on the thermometer. And interesting the cat might make sense as I heard the exhaust sounded a tad different. Also I recall reading blinking SES means current condition is causing damage to the cat. Ran the code scanner today I get a misfire P0300- which I’ve had checked out and they...

    STUCK ON THE ROAD- 2001 Chevy Suburban 2500 6.0

    I did use the 4x4 yesterday. And after it acted up. But I did try popping it in and out again. made it home safe with no snags. Definitely will have to check the rear diff.

    STUCK ON THE ROAD- 2001 Chevy Suburban 2500 6.0

    Normally I get right around 11, but I could tell for sure I’m not gonna get anywhere near that as there’s definitely a caliper stuck or something like that.

    You know you’re probably right on a stuck caliper, as the pedal felt weird when I jammed on it. It didn’t have much give it all to it. Maybe a thermostat? Wouldn’t thermostats be stuck open if they are faulty? Thanks a lot for the help guys! I really appreciate it.

    STUCK ON THE ROAD- 2001 Chevy Suburban 2500 6.0

    The previous owner said it rusted out so he removed it, however I’ve been driving it for 20,000 miles without any issues. So I just started it up again and now I have very little if any rolling resistance and I am cruising along at 40 miles an hour.

    STUCK ON THE ROAD- 2001 Chevy Suburban 2500 6.0

    I do have a BlueDriver scanner on me, it registered over temp yesterday, but nothing today. I know I have a power steering leak, and I’m pretty sure that’s what I see down below. I don’t know smells enough, but it definitely smells very metallic.

    Hey guys, I’m here stuck in my truck on the side of the road so any input is greatly appreciated. I’m 4 miles from my mechanic, so I’m wondering if I can just drive it... Anyway, The coolant is right at the fill line, however I noticed I had vac lock when I tried to unscrew the cap. As I was...

    Looking to do LED Light bar/reverse/flood lights... Ideas..?

    Hey guys, I'm looking to do one of those 50" lightbars on my truck, along with some sort of rear lighting. I'm thinking hooked up to reverse, or maybe with a switch for auxiliary, both if possible? I'm not looking to spend $1k, so it looks like the Chinese special I found on Amazon might be...

    What did you do to your OBS GMT400 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    Well, when the guy was working on the original motor, at first, he said, "Yeah, it's the spark plug wires, they're arcing", so he did a $350 tune up.. Did that, then he said, "Oh yeah, it's dumping raw fuel, must be the spider, $350", and I knew that there was an improved spider, etc, and he let...

    What did you do to your OBS GMT400 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    Yeah, it really sucks.. But, what pisses me off the most, is that I made poor decisions based off $$$..I went from "eff this truck, give me the cheapest crap you can throw in it", to "welp, I'm this far into it, I guess I'll keep it awhile".. Now, what sucks most about that is the following...

    What did you do to your OBS GMT400 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    I got a call from the shop that just dropped a rebuilt motor in it.. Me: "Hey, Sean here, calling about the Tahoe... Is it ready to be picked up?" Them: "Yeah, it's ready to go, has a bit of a hiccup every once in awhile.. But I'm thinking it could be the crank angle sensor..." Me: "Well, so...

    What did you do to your OBS GMT400 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    Funny, and not funny.. Funny, because I think I'm also having some sort of an issue in there (sometimes door just won't unlock.. Sometimes it just won't even open). I also have a 2 door 'hoe.. Not funny, because it effing sucks.
