I'm in the midst of checking things out. I pulled all four posts off of the batteries, cleaned all contacts and wires up and put it back together with some anti-seize. That didn't help (but at least that potential issue has been eliminated). Moving the steering column while holding START...

Yup, just had her do it. It doesn't start in neutral or park and while holding the key to start and moving the shifter, it won't start in any position. Reverse lights do come on when the shifter is in the R position.

neutral start switch! I didn't think about that. That might be why the indicating light isn't on perhaps...

Yeah, I can test for that tomorrow. Nothing else she can do tonight, though. Seems like a bad week for a starter solenoid to go. The rebuild shop isn't open Weds, Thurs, Fri. and I'm definitely not buying a junk rebuild from Advance or Napa.

The starter is making no noise whatsoever. The DRL's shut off when the key is in the start position, like they always do when starting the vehicle. I guess that means the ignition switch is still good? She wiggles cables and voltage is about 12.5v when the key is in the START position...

I'm at work and my wife is at home. 1999 Suburban 6.5L 256k miles. She drove the Suburban around today already. She claims that when she got home earlier today the little light that indicates drive, neutral, reverse, park was out. It may have been out longer than today, who knows...

Awesome, thanks! Any chance you have spindle nut torque too?

Thanks. Anyone have ideas on the torque specs?

I need a part number or bolt size for the bolts that hold the wheel hub assembly onto the spindles on my 1999 K1500 Suburban 6.5L with 8 lug wheels. Dealer isn't open today. I also need torque specs for the upper and lower ball joints, outer tie-rod ends, caliper mounting bolts, and wheel...

The cheapest I could find a rebuilt transmission was $1200 plus shipping, and I didn't have the time to do it myself either. I bought a 4L60 online last year for my blazer and did the work, but I had time and a 3rd car then. For under 2k on this trans where all I had to do was drop it off and...

I called this morning and they said to bring it in. My wife took it there and they changed the seal in an hour free of charge. I paid $1981.xx for the rebuild and work as well as a u joint replacement.

I have never done that seal before, but it appears it might be that seal. I checked closer and it looks like it's leaking right around where the driveshaft comes out of the T-case. I checked fluid level and it wasn't horribly low, but I added some ATF (I hope that's the right fluid). I'm...

I just got my Suburban back last week from the shop after getting the transmission rebuilt. Today I noticed specs of oily substance intermingled with the dirt on the back doors so I looked underneath and found wetness on my rear axle. I just crawled underneath to investigate and the wetness is...

Let us know how it goes. I just got my 4L80 rebuilt because I didn't have the time to do the swap right now, especially without a garage. I do want to do the conversion in the future on another Suburban but with a 6BT Cummins in front of it :)

I've read plenty of threads where people are doing these conversions in older trucks (diesels and gassers alike). I've learned that I need a NV4500 with a solid mass flywheel. The flywheel and clutch should be brand new (as well as a few other parts associated with them). The biggest...

Went to a good trans shop today. Slipping. I have a rebuild in my future.

I haven't cleaned behind the trans and oil coolers and cleaned behind them. I'll also check the trans connector for leaking. Haven't noticed anything yet. There is no code still. The computer still stores the code for the boost issue I had before I built my own turbo-master. I know these...

I'll check that out. I'm wondering if this is related to transmission temps. This usually happens on long drives...and mostly under either tow or uphill conditions.

had to open my mouth... same issue arose again today. driving long distance, mostly back roads with lots of acceleration up hills and such, and by the time i made it to the interstate, 4th gear dropped out again and didn't come back until I had been parked for a couple hours. the 1st to 2nd...

Haven't had an issue since replacing the FSD. I decided to mount it just behind the grill on the passenger side. It should get plenty of air there to keep cool.
