    rattle from drivers front left in 2005 Suburban 5.3

    Front end was just rebuilt and this rattle is still going... it sounds plastic-y. Only once has it been accompanied by a grind/rub that I felt in the steering wheel. It always repeats the 4 times you hear in the video, first repetition loudest and longest, others diminishing but similar. It does...

    Thanks for all the help!

    i passed on my truck. I sold her for a reasonable price, passing her on to someone willing to give her love. I gave him a link to here, so hopefully he can pick up where I left off. He already has a 4l80e to swap in. Thank you all for all the troubleshooting assistance over the last 5 years. I...

    Ongoing limp mode issue

    I can't find my original thread, so I started a new thread. I had an ABS light and occasional limp mode. Output sensor fixed the ABS, but I am still going into limp. It was fine for a while, then started back. It throws codes for slipping and pressure solenoid. Silly me, i figured it was...

    ABS cycling at low speed and erratic shifting

    I am experiencing some weird symptoms intermittently. My ABS will cycle at low speed (below 20) and is often combined with erratic shifting (which has gotten worse, but is still intermittent). I can usually clear it all by turning the truck off and restarting. My first thought is grounds/...

    Radiator brand recomendations?

    So i am leaking at my radiator inlet. Plastic? Really? It cracked and I have been limping along while leaning into the start of my busy season. Leaking off a quart in 7 miles. So figuring to replace the radiator, as that is easier to schedule than getting a shop to attempt an end cap swap...

    rumble before stop light braking

    Last night on my way home, I heard a rumble that starts under 15mph when braking to a stop. No shudder, no vibration. Seems to come from the front, I am inclined to think the right side I had a wedding to go to last night and am headed right back to work today. I am hoping to pull the wheels...

    AC went out suddenly

    I was not sure if this was for the "electrical" section. I figured I would start here. 48 hours ago my ammeter was showing a larger drag than normal. AC was working fine. Yesterday, no AC. The light on the AC button does not come on, nor will the fan switch to top vents. It will only do...

    continuity but no voltage on left turn pole

    I was checking out my 7 pole plug today, all my poles check out except left turn. I pulled the flat 4 pole plug apart (underneath that feeds it). I have voltage on the truck side. I test continuity from the other half of the plug to the receiver pole, good continuity. I hook it back up...

    snapped off quick connect fitting- the saga continues

    I am venting I guess. I have the big extractor in there, but it is not keeping hold. The crap metal shears before it can move the threads. So I am holding pressure, gently tapping with a hammer. Heated the crossover with a torch. cursed at it. prayed for it. laughed at it. Still that...

    getting great boost with the vacuum

    So I got my guage on. I am seeing higher boost numbers than I thought. I have a stock vacuum system with a new solenoid. The boost seems to increase with the petal, hard acceleration runs it up to 15 pretty easy. It sits at 6 to 9 climbing hills at 2100 rpms and seems to be very steady. I...

    removing old viper alarm system

    Where do I look for the receiver to identify the alarm system and possibly remove it. I like the door clicker, I guess, but it makes me paranoid. And I leave the keys in the truck most of the time. I have a rottweiler. very reliable alarm. :hihi: point me in the right direction?

    buying fuel tank for 95 burb

    So I pulled my tank to replace the sock several months and learned that my tank was imploded. At the time, I wanted to work on other issues, so I just rigged the intake, and reassembled the whole thing, and refill before the tank gets low. Now the tank is leaking from somewhere, so I figured...

    Can someone post a picture of where the solenoid is mounted? I just replaced mine, and the original has a broken bracket, so it was just sitting there. Love to get it mounted. Now to see if the code 78 stops on the upshift on the grade south of me...

    does the computer read low coolant light?

    So my low coolant sensor was not reading for a couple months. I knew I had coolant, so I did not worry (PO put leak stop in system to try to fix leaks, it coated the sensor). I finally got around to cleaning the probe and off goes the coolant light. I feel like the truck is running with a...

    Sunpro guages?

    I am working on my suburban to make it a dependable daily driver/family road trip machine... I do not tow much, love the mileage and space. I have ordered the 2.5" crossover, planning on a exhaust system. Looking at guages now. Is the sunpro triple worth it? I really want boost and EGT... I...
