1999 6.5L Suburban K1500 with 280k on the clock but only 220k on the motor. It's nearing the end of it's life as a family truckster and will soon be replaced with a Volvo XC90 for toting the tots. I just bought a tractor for the property and will need to pick up a bumper pull trailer to...

99 Suburban K1500 with the 6.5. I have a 14 bolt SF rear end with 8 lug hubs. I also have the G80 option according to my glove box. My rear end does not lock up at all, and it made that very well known to me this past weekend when I was pulling my dad's 01 Blazer up the hill of my snow...

Time to replace batteries in my Suburban. Are there any batteries especially recommended and why? For instance, is a $250 Optima that much better than a $125 standard battery in my Suburban if I'm not running anything special on it?

1999 6.5L Suburban with 271k miles. Several times this summer and all the way up until now I've noticed that when I go outside to the garage, I can faintly hear the blower running in my Suburban. I've never noticed it before this summer. It's not constant but it does run for a while and...

1999 Burb with 24x,xxx miles on it. I recently was down on power so after replacing injectors and filters, I moved on to the lift pump. I installed Leroy's Walbro pump and pre-filter kit and got most of my power back buy suspected the tank sock to be a bit plugged up. No issues up to this...

I'm in the midst of installing Leroy's Walbro FRC-10 pump and pre-filter setup. Everything is plumbed up in place and wired properly (I actually used a relay to give the pump plenty of amperage). I cranked the engine and it fired up, but shut off when it burned the fuel in the fuel filter...

Figured it was about time to start a thread rather than plug up the new injectors thread. 1999 Suburban 1500 with 268k miles. 207k on this motor but I'd assume all of the bolt on parts were from the original motor. FSD relocated to the grille with a heat sink and the FSD was new with the...

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...

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...

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...

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...

I have a '99 Suburban 1500 with a 6.5 and almost 240k on the clock. I bought it approximately 12-15k miles ago, I don't remember. It's also raining it's balls off outside and I don't have a garage to work in... Yesterday someone crashed into my Camry on the way to work and it's not...

I didn't find much in the search on the topic. I'm not exactly sure where the temp sensor goes in the first place, let alone how to do it. I think it goes pre-turbo, but I'm not sure. Could someone please post a picture and give me some information on how to do it? Also, I'm considering...

I have a '99 suburban and I'm looking for a gauge pod for it, but all I see are '95-98 pods or '99-05. I know that if the pillar fits an '05, it won't fit MY '99. Do I go for the '95-'98 A pillar?

I don't know for sure, but I'm guessing that this is an aftermarket alarm system. I know nothing about it, but the wiring sure looks like a hack job to me. Here are a few pictures of whats in there. I need some guidance to see what I can pull out without affecting the truck. Is that array of...

I've spent the past hour and a half reading up on the Turbo Master manual wastegate controller, how to make my own, etc. I really didn't learn a whole lot. Too many threads making it clear as mud. I was hoping someone else could shine some light on the topic. I've got a '99 K1500 Suburban...

I may have already introduced myself here once before. I can't remember. I just picked up a '99 Suburban 1500 with a 6.5td yesterday. It's got 230k miles, a bit of body damage on the passenger side, but it seems to run pretty well. The leather seats aren't too worn for a vehicle with that...
