How do I adjust rear shoes / parking brake on my -95 4WD 8 lug suburban? Rear brakes bled out because of broken line. I replaced rear lines, cylinder, shoes and hardware. No everything is back together but manuals says I have to adjust the rear brake shoes and parking brake. But there is...

This is not funny anymore :errr: Since my last post to this problem, I have changed boost solenoid, vacuum pump and manifold MAP sensor. I have checked all the wiring + connectors. I have checked all the vacuum lines. I have checked everything twice and replaced the boost gauge. When I replaced...

I need that kind of hose assembly. OEM part is not available anymore. I have a diesel engine in my vehicle so it rule out the hose assembly used in gas engine models. I don`t know the difference, but I wish I could get right hose somewhere. I have called almost every a/c shop here in Finland...

I do not know him, but I have bought a PDM and some other parts from him. He is located about 200 km from my place.

Today I took of the hose to the baro on the firewall, plugged the hose and drove to the part shop to buy vacuum / pressure gauge. No changes. Then I measured vacuum pump. Needle bounced between 5 - 12. I think it should be constant. When I measured, I wasn´t driving and car was idling. Is that...

Thanks for the advice. I will try that one tomorrow. I was driving the car today, first, everything worked more than fine, boost went up on acceleration and stayed there. It was a happy time. The car sat hour and half on a parking lot. I headed home, same problem, on acceleration boost rises...

I will unhook the baro on the firewall to see if it helps. Connections has been like these always, no problems with anything. The problem starded after the battery short circuited. I eas driving home and volt gauge started to travel and when of the throttle, battery light came on. When I got...

I checked the engine codes, only 12. Nothing else. There was a MAF in the intake, just after the airbox. I removed it because there where no connections to it. So, it seem that I have engine swap. The baro on the right in the firewall, is for Autometer boost gauge. I ordered new vacuumpump...

Yes, this engine is in Suburban K1500. VIN indicates it is 95 model. Maybe the previous owner has swapped the engine. I do not know. Everything have worked so far. I`m heading to the garage and check engine codes and let You know whats in there.

It has a Webasto heater added to it. Sometimes, in winter time, night can be very cold over here like -35 F. I also have Wolverine electric heater under engine oilpan and transmission oilpan.

I have had this car past eleven years, I have not make any modifications to it except, added gauges to the a pillar, 4" exhaust. Boost solenoid and sensor on the firewall share the same blue nylon hose which is coming from the round rusty thing from the manifold top. I haven`t had any...

There is a sensoir on top of the manifold. Top of the sensor is GM logo and numbers 466, above the white connector, the is numbers 866. 7350 On the firewall the is two sensors, on the right is pressure sensor for Autometer boost gauge. Left with the green connector is connected to the boost...

I have replaced the solenoid, no changes. Checking the codes now. There seems to be two pressure sensors, one above the manifold with black connector and second in firewall with green connector. How these affect to the boost. The one in firewall seems to be connected to the boost solenoid with...

How should I test lift pump ? Fuel filter is new Delco

Yes, boost drops when I´m accelerating. If I drive like 80 kmh and I want to pass a car, I accelerate, transmission kick down works fine, revs go up, boost goes up, but it drops almost immediately. Even when there is a load on the engine when I´m passing other vehicle. It has never ever done...
