Hi All, So after checking for vacuum leaks and finding none I decided to replace the waste gate solenoid with an AC Delco 214-1073 replacement. Oddly enough the bracket on the old original waste gate solenoid was broken where it mounted to the bracket on the DS valve cover. I don't think this...

You bet...all oem parts except for my fabrication work to make steel fuel lines with oem fittings and the frame rail pump and filter mount!

Yes. The truck is stock tuned. No upgrade just solid maintenance....clean and tight grounds(all of them!),treated fuel in every tank fill with the Bill Heath recommended "cocktail" and most of all driven in a sane fashion ...not flogged and tortured! I have replaced virtually the entire fuel...

Hi Folks, The laughs keep coming.....Soooo-ooo after replacing the injectors with new Bosch from Bill Heath , new Durotherm (sic) glows while in there as well, new PT Wiring glow harness and battery cables, all new belts and hoses...including that bastard lower radiator hose that was...wait for...

The hard start in cold weather without being plugged in I believe was a combination of items all of which I addressed at this service interval: new injectors ( old ones had >150,000 miles as far as I know);new Bosch thermatru (sic) glows with the better/improved PT Wiring Solutions harness; and...

Hi Folks, What year did Chevrolet/GMC offer heated seats as an option for the Suburban in the 1990's? I am thinking about adding the option to my 1996 Suburban with leather seats. I would like to use factory controls in the factory location if possible. I have full power drivers seat and power...

Just a quick update on our 1996 Suburban "adventure" ... We finally got it fired up! I was anticipating a long cranking process to get it to fire since we had all of the injection lines off while I replaced the injectors. Much to my surprise...this was not the case! Thankfully I installed the...

I just need to know what the shape they were in for my own peace of mind. This engine runs flawless wne it is running it , like many diesels, does not like cold weather....like its owner...;-)

Thank you..that is great insight. I should use an ohm meter now that they are out of the engine and bench test them to see if there is continuity. I will check the GP relay as well when we get set to fire the engine next week.

Hi all, I just replaced all of the glow plugs using Bosch Duraterms (with anti seize) and put in new injectors from Bill Heath while I was in there. Last winter It was difficult to start unless it was plugged in for a few hours. Without plugging in it would not start. New batteries did not make...

Hi All, It is a 6203 in there from NTN (China) as it is the factory tensioner assembly! Part # NTN 6203LHXC#/5CQM. I called them and of course the bearing installed is NLA since they (GM) decided to go with a higher friction seal on both sides. The trade off is less crap can get in the bearing...

Hi folks, Has anyone had any issues with the replacement idler from Gates that "replaces" the OEM idler assembly? I just received this though my local NAPA jobber and I must say I was disappointed in that the Gates product seemed smaller overall and not as robust as the factory part. The pulley...

So the original crossover pipe finally needs to be replaced since the factory installed it in 1996! Now the fun and excitement begins. The driver side bolt heads broke even after heating manifold with a torch. Of course they would!!! Looks like we will be removing the manifolds and replacing...

Hi All, ....of course the worst time for the defroster to go silly on me is in a snow storm. The front windshield defroster on the 1996 6.5 Suburban K2500 appears to be working only on the passenger side. Is there a separate defroster control vent door for the driver side as I do not feel any...

Do you have any pictures of the inner fender removal? I am getting ready to do the GP's after a winter of adventure last year! Dumb questions...did you have to remove the ps battery and tray as well as the air box etc.? I have not looked at it closely just yet.

Found Them!!! GM Part #15722338 - these come as complete links with the bushings- one for each side Thanks !!!:agreed::agreed:

Hi All, Does anyone know if the factory towing package included a rear sway bar that is attached to the frame with two links (one on each side) with rubber bushings on these vehicles. I assumed they did. I can not find a listing for replacement bushings for these links and I am scratching my...

Hi all, Can anyone tell me if the dash mounted 4 wheel drive buttons on a 1996 Suburban k2500 6.5 diesel should be blinking when the vehicle is in 4 wheel drive lo range or 4 wheel drive hi range? Mine do and the vehicle is in 4 wheel drive? I know for sure it is in the lo range which is...

Hi All, Having reworked the fuel supply on my 96 Suburban as follows: 1. Replaced fuel tank,pickup and both supply and return fuel lines at the rear end 2. Added a Racor Parker R90T to a custom frame rail mount before the lift pump 3. Installed the Walbro FRB5 lift pump and eliminated the...
