    Can’t read codes no check engine light ?

    My 95 6.5 4x4 Suburban was running so good and then she just died going down the road. I’m familiar with the PDM shutting down but usually she would crank back up. Mine is the updated Leroy driver and it’s located behind the front license plate. This time she wouldn’t start back but would spin...

    My oil cap on my 95 Suburban needs to be replaced. Does the new cap need to be vented or can I just pick up a regular cap from Autozone or somewhere?? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Starter wouldn't stop running

    I cranked my 95 Suburban 6.5 this morning and the starter stuck. Turning the key off didn't stop it. After about 20 seconds it finally stopped. I'm guessing the solenoid on the starter ?? Im hope nothing else broke. Any ideas ??

    Lower Ball Joint Removal

    I took the 95 3/4 ton Suburban to the alignment shop today and the guy told me I needed new upper and lower ball joints on passenger side of vehicle. He quoted a price if $400 which is probably not bad but I just spent $900 on new tires. It looks like I can get the Moogs for about $32 each from...

    Power Steering pump flush(with Hydroboost off)

    My Hydroboost was leaking bad on my 95 Suburban Diesel 4x4. After talking myself out of torching the truck while trying to remove the booster, I finally have it out. The new booster won't be here for a couple of days so now I guess I need to flush the power steering system. Can this be done with...

There's a little fan that pulls inside air into the sensor and the fan seems to be running 24/7. Anyone ever...

    Front Receiver hitch on 95 Suburban

    I use my Suburban for towing my camper and I want to be able to bring along firewood for a campfire. My roof rack is not heavy enough for a "Safari rack" so that's not an option. I've been looking at front mounted receivers.I figure I can use my basket rack and carry plenty of firewood for a...

    The valve covers are leaking on my 6.5 and since I'm in the process of installing new injectors I figured this is a good time to tackle the valve covers too.My question is...will the injector lines flex enough to get the covers off or would it be easier to pull the intake and completely remove...
