    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...

    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.

    STUCK ON THE ROAD- 2001 Chevy Suburban 2500 6.0

    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.

    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.

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

    I threatened to light it on fire, and then drive it off a cliff... Motor ran rough the other day, brought it into the shop.. Started with spark plug wires arcing, and fouled plugs, then to a new fuel spider.. Now, the &$^@#()ing thing has low compression in (3) cylinders... I think my OBS days...

    Limped into shop, told plug wires were arcing.. Now I'm told I need a fuel spider...

    Hey, thanks for the response.. And, so it comes with everything I'd need, right? It'll fit right into my existing setup (stock 5.7l)?

    Limped into shop, told plug wires were arcing.. Now I'm told I need a fuel spider...

    I literally limped into the shop, motor was running rougher than anything I've ever heard... guy told me my spark plug wires were arcing, wires aren't more than a year old, but anyway. Now, he tells me that the truck is dumping raw fuel, and I need a fuel spider. I know the spiders on these...

    '99 Tahoe, Rear Wiper Not Making Contact Up Top

    Howdy folks! I have a question.. I've replaced my rear wiper blade, however I have a feeling I need to replace the whole arm assembly as well. The wiper only works on the bottom of the window. I think it's because the spring is not tight enough, perhaps? Anyway, what is the move here? is...

    '99 Tahoe w/5.7 - Can't Shift Into First Via Shifter?

    Automatic is fine, except for a little shimmy at around 50 (which I've been told could be the TCC - as the RPMs don't change, but speed increases)... But, everything else is fine..I can put it in 2, and 3 no problem.. I'll try it again in the morning - as I wasn't moving or anything, just...

    '99 Tahoe w/5.7 - Can't Shift Into First Via Shifter?

    So, I was messing with the dash today, and you have to pull the shifter down to 1st (or as low as possible) to get the dash off... Anyway, I noticed it wouldn't shift into first gear! Anyone have any idea what that would be? Kind of scared me...

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

    Drove to work.. Only for the rear wheels to lock up with a 'klunk-klunk'.. Supposedly the wheel cylinders exploded, needs axle bearings, and a pair of shoes... So, I attempted to drive to work with it today... ;c)
