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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
I paid $3200 for the same warranty recently on my 2022 RST 6.2. I also hate extended warranties but in this day and age we are all driving a computer on wheels, and there are a billion circuits in each chip. When you multiply the number of chips, the chances of something breaking seems to...
My $72K RST doesn't even have blind spot warning mirrors. Seat air conditioners would be nice too. But these the only things I am "missing" with it. It it after all, a truck. But my SS that cost less than $45K out the door in 2016 has this stuff so I don't know why a 2022 doesn't. Getting...
I feel the same way thought I was being too negative. Bid up an ‘03 3/4 ton burb on BAT last week because it had 27k miles and the 6.0. Didn’t win but I don’t think I am ever going to be “content” with all the tech.
I dropped it off at the dealer this AM. The service tech told me "the blinking CEL is usually the kiss of death" but it has run ok for the last week. I'm not gonna lie though, I cannot wait to get behind the wheel of my '98 while this truck is in the shop. It doesn't have any annoying bugs I...
I am a 46 year old luddite. And I am cheap. I tried to unload the truck when I got it but could not bring myself to eat the sales tax. Sometimes I think I am too critical of this truck (in my head). I love the power and the handling of the independent rear suspension, but I don't like the...
Hello,
I am about 1 year exactly into my 2022 Suburban RST 6.2. It has 21K miles. Last week one night i felt it bogging with light throttle (AFM activated) and get a blinking CEL. It continued every time I gave it throttle until I turned it off and it hasn't done it again. I assumed the...
Many mornings I have to really stomp on the gas to get it to turn off. I guess that means some cold morning it will just leave me stuck in my driveway. Good to know. I refuse to bother to turn it off manually since I am not the one who turned it on. Totally unnecessary tehno-wizardry. Do they...
If the adaptive cruise works as (un)well as the lane change assist, I would definitely not wait around for it. One of my tech glitches is the crash warning that is really afraid of things that are yellow and freaks out at school buses (in the oncoming lane) and yellow road signs. I would not...
I don’t know why you would ask “should I sell my truck for less?” Which is essentially what you are saying here. Unless you really don’t care about money or really don’t want the hassle of selling yourself, why would you not do what wll yield you the greatest profit?
