    Fan running excessively

    Today my wife complained that the Suburban is a lot louder than usual. When she got home it was still loud, it seems the coolant fan is on some sort of overdrive and won’t quit. The oil temp was very low. Even when she turned it off, the fan still ran. What could have caused this? Has this...

    PSA about diff oil

    I changed my rear diff oil today. It only took 3 bags of amsoil, when 5.5 pints of oil is recommended. I was afraid I did something wrong until I realized I ordered quarts and not pints. So now I have a lot of extra oil. And it was not cheap. FYI, 1 quart = 2 pints.

    150 amps not enough?

    My alternator is going bad. Everything electronic keeps shutting off with the engine running. Chevy dealer says some have 150, some have 170. I asked if 170 would be better, and they said it depends if my battery can handle it. Rockauto says a higher amp alternator could actually save you fuel...

    Can’t find info on dash removal

    Anyone know of a good write up or video on how to remove the dash panels? Specifically the top panels. I’m trying to investigate a rattle but I want to do it right and not just start prying and end up breaking something. Links to write ups already posted are welcome and I apologize if a similar...

    Is TRQ a good brand?

    I'm shopping for a wheel hub on partsgeek, and I could easily get a Timken, Moog, or Centric wheel hub, but for the price of one of those I could get a set of 2 from TRQ and do both at the same time in case the other is going bad as well. What do you guys suggest? Any experience with TRQ?

    Silverado Trail Boss wheels?

    Found a set of Trail Boss wheels and tires practically brand new. How would these look on a 2016 Suburban? Has anyone seen this? If so, please show pics. I can't find any. Curious how the offset sits inside the wheel well. Please help! I think they would look really nice, but I don't want to buy...

    BWI Group suspension?

    So today I crawled under and noticed my front struts are labeled BWI Group, made in Mexico. Clearly not genuine gm. So I searched online, found the company homepage and learned they’re from Beijing China. Not cool. So I tried to find some reviews and see if they have a good reputation but...

    285/70/18, another willitfit thread NOT sorry!

    Hey y’all, I found a good deal on some Nitto Ridge grapplers in 285/70/18. That’s barely larger than what I have now which are 275/70/18 toyo open country and no issues except them wearing funny. Just wondering if they’ll even fit my leveled 2016 suburban without rubbing. Anyone have this size...

    Warranty DEDUCTIBLE?!

    Thankfully I purchased an extended warranty with my used 2016 suburban, because my ac just broke. But news to me, there’s deductibles on warranties these days! It’s $100 as opposed to $1500, but still. I bought a warranty so I wouldn’t have to shell out anything if something under warranty...

    Dorman products

    Has anyone had much experience with Dorman brand OEM parts? Just curious if their quality. They seem to be a fraction the price of certified gm parts so this family man is trying to save some money! Does the community use them often? Or do y’all swear against them?

    Hello everyone, new join here

    Funny story, I quickly and suddenly found myself in a 2016 Suburban LTZ. Wife is 7 months pregnant with baby #4 and although our megacab has been great accommodating all of us and our gear, it won’t be comfortable with 6 humans and 2 car seats once baby comes. But it’s still going nowhere...
