    trying to save my ex's 2015 Suburban

    Hi, Today I tried to get the starter out. The outboard bolt is stuck. It turned maybe 6 rotations. I tightened and re-loosened it a couple of times no luck. I put PB blaster on it and will maybe try again tomorrow. But I wanted to see if you guys had any ideas other than a torch since there is...

    trying to save my ex's 2015 Suburban

    Also, all I asked the dealer to do was to make the truck power up. They said $4,000. It took me an hour…

    trying to save my ex's 2015 Suburban

    Today I cleaned the crap out of this truck with my dad although there are still some nuts and stuff down on the motor mounts/frame rails. I put a new terminal block/main fuse on and it powered up. 117,541 miles! Not too bad. I used a multimeter to test continuity. The fuse is blown at the...

    trying to save my ex's 2015 Suburban

    Latest update, I got it towed to my driveway and the tow driver was able to drop it on my ramps which was nice and saved me some time from having to jack it up. I took the battery out and went to local parts store and got a battery, 8 quarts of oil and a filter, 3 gallons of antifreeze and some...

    trying to save my ex's 2015 Suburban

    We had 5 actually. And she got a PhD while we were together but never made any money. I did say ex-wife didn’t I? She has an allergy to money it’s like her kryptonite. If near her she must part with it immediately. She comes from a family that doesn’t take care of her stuff also. Anyway...

    trying to save my ex's 2015 Suburban

    In 2015, I bought my ex a new suburban for her 40th birthday (she was 39). When we got separated she let the au pair drive it for a couple years and then the trans went bad and she parked it on the front lawn like a hillbilly and left it there for 3-4 years. Now after six and a half years I am...

    End of the road for the ol girl??

    I do not think that the new ones are necessarily better/offer more convenience just more computers and headaches. The price you were quoted sounds very high I would shop. Sounds like the truck is nice so keep it. I have owed every generation of these trucks since the 400 series and yours is...

    V Escalade - Loud at Startup

    The same problem exists in suburbia. I live on what is basically a quiet country road and people like to rip on our road at all hours because it is twisty and not much traffic. There is also a 4 lane straight road at the end, less than 1/4 mile away, and we live near the city line and people...

    2022 Tahoe Automatic Emergency Braking

    I find it super dangerous inadequate tech, like all of the tech features on my truck, and turned it off. When it was on, it loved things that were yellow like school busses and big curve signs and would flash and brake when I passed them. Not every time, but often enough that it was...

    Which shocks to buy?

    Bilstein 5100's all the way if you are going to keep the truck for a long time it's worth the investment.

    I have automatic high beams!

    A few days ago, out of the blue, I was shocked to see that after two years my suburban decided that it has automatic high beams. The only thing I can say is that recently I was going through the settings and switched to have the speed limit of the road i am on appear on the display. It does...

    Extended Warranty?

    Correction, the warranty I purchased has no deductible so it's not quite the same.
