I going to give him a call to discuss on Monday.

I was told the transmission was rebuilt at approx. 175k-180k. I would hope that at those miles he would have not reused the convertor. I was talking with with a guy last night that said it may be the convertor lockup solenoid hanging up, any thoughts on that?

I have the 6.5L w/ 4l80 transmission, 4x4, w/ 4:10 gears. When travelling down the road at approx. 40-45 mph, with the engine rpm low, the tranny begins to shudder like the convertor is trying to lock up. My buddy told me to just change the fluid to a synthetic and it should cure the problem...

I have a little exta cash this month and want to do some preventative maintance and fix a couple problems on my Suburban. I was looking for a set of glow plugs on ebay and found this auction for injectors and glow plugs. Since I just got the truck last fall with 223k miles on it, and I don't...

I fixed the shifter problem by unhooking the cable to the brake pedal, thanks for the advice on that. As far as the starting issue, I checked the glow plugs on the drivers side and checked the block heater chord. The glow plugs are all good, checked for voltage to the glow plugs, all was...

I have done the lift pump test a couple months ago, I've only owned this truck for 3-4 months. It was fine then, but who knows now. I had not thought to do it when the truck wouldn't start. I know ether is bad but if you have to got to work and can't get it started, you have no choice. I wait...

two problems guys, first, if I let the truck sit for two-three days it will not start without the aid of little squirt of ether. I don't like doing this. My first thought was glow plugs, but if I drove the truck the night before, no matter how cold it is the next morning, it still starts right...

Thanks, that's what I was looking for!!

Guys I need some advice. I just got this Suburban recently. I went to change the oil in it yesterday and had a hell of a time trying to remove the oil filter. What a dumb ass place to put it. I can see why it has an adapter to rotate it, but after an hour of screwing around with it, I still...

these are the batteries I have in my suburban, if you live near an interstate dealer, give them a call and see if they have any blems. I got mine for $35 ea. $70 for a set of batteries can not be beat.

I tried the Castrol in my Powerstroke once, drained it after a 1000 miles, it was foaming on me. stuck with the Rotella from then on. Does anyone here use Lukas addatives in there 6.5L. in the strokers, it smoothed them out some.

All right, I've been using Rotella 15-40 in my Fords all these years, should I continue to use this same oil in my 6.5L burban? Is there a better oil for the GM engine? Any addatives I should add when I change the oil, I always added a quart of Lucas to the Fords. Now the Ford held 14 quarts...

count me in for the contest please

thanks for the info guys

Alright guys, now that my burban is running good, I'm looking into the maintenance / upkeep. I see a lot of posts about removing the vacuum pump, but when I did a search as to why to remove it, I did not find anything. I'm not a patient guy, so I quit looking and started typing. I know with...

Update: Put 2 new Interstate Batteries in the Burban and gutted and drilled the "gas" cap. Starts without issues now, no missing going down the road. Everything seems fine now. I still need to take the picture of the PMD for you guys, but I haven't been home in the daylight for a few days...

alright guys, I'm a dumb A$$. I thought the battery in the truck was brand new, it looked brand new, no dirt, no grime, nothing. Come to find out after looking at the date on the battery, it's from 2004! I did a check with the battery tester and one battery is shot, and the other is...

I will check my scanner to see if I can read the timing. It's a high end Mac scanner that I borrowed from my buddy, about all I can do with my limited knowledge of the thing is read my codes. I'll have to get him involved. New update this morning. I plugged the truck in overnight, damn...

just ran the scanner on the truck, all three codes are back. These are my major issues still Problem 1) After the bs time I had getting it started this morning I have to do something quickly about the cold starts. It's annoying when this happens at home, but it's quit embarassing when it...

forgot to mention that I did clear the codes so that I can run the scanner again tonight to see if they come back. PMD has been moved to the fender well with cooler.
