    Total loss of electrical power while driving

    Update - The mechanic did a voltage drop test on the cables - all good, the alternator is good, the battery is good, he removed multiple grounds/cleaned etc., and added additional ground from the firewall to the engine block as the braided cable is reportedly very corroded. He replaced the...

Dropping at shop now for some electrical diagnostics, not very optimistic though. Have u noticed your...

    What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    Vibration at 80mph

    I bought a 2011 Suburban back in April. It had a horrendous shake at highway speeds, steering wheel shook. Turned out it was a bent drive shaft . Did u have the tires road force balanced?

    A/C Mystery - 11 Burb

    In June, I noticed the a/c was cold-ish, but not really cold, and it seems it would kind of alternate between cold and ambient temp air. I attempted to add some freon with an over-the-counter can. While filling, I may have added some while the compressor was not on. Overall I really didn't add...

    Part # Help - jounce bumper - bump stop

    This process is so annoying - depending on where you search including RA, Amazon, GMParts, ACDelco Catalog etc.. you get a wide range of results. I called a local dealer - Lou Bachrodt Chevrolet in Fort Lauderdale - These people SUCK!! the guy would not give me the part number, he told me I...

    Replacing shocks tomorrow

    New shocks all around- ✔️ Some observations. Started with the front strut assemblies which were actually easier than the rears. In nearly every video I watched they removed the front strut top nuts through the wheel well with a ratcheting wrench or similar, which is what I did on the first...
