    Brake vibration/shaking - LONG

    After reading other threads here I am going to look at the following. In no particular order 1. Check tire pressure and rotate tires 2. Check driveshaft and U joints 3. Inspect all front end parts again (I put on a new Red Head box last year) 4. Read ABS codes - Please suggest a code reader...

    Brake vibration/shaking - LONG

    Thanks for the reply. I understand how the Posi lock works. My boat is 7000 pounds and if the tide is not at its highest point the ramp is always slippery so the front wheels almost always lock and skid until you step hard on the brakes and fully engage the rear drums. As I thought through it...

    Brake vibration/shaking - LONG

    My "spring sound" I assumed was an automatic ABS test because it occurred only once at exactly 10 mph on the first acceleration after starting. Well I had the ABS activation noise when the system was actually doing its job like on snow or ice.

    Brake vibration/shaking - LONG

    I am asking here and receiving great information on where to look because I want to have an idea of where to start. I need to have a plan that is hopefully correct when I go back to Alaska. ABS light question. I installed a Posi lock 4x4 front differential actuator on my Suburban this summer...

    Brake vibration/shaking - LONG

    I am not sure what system I have but I believe it is 4 wheel. The collapsed brake hose mentioned sure sounds like what I have going on. I did replace both front hoses 5 or so years ago.

    Brake vibration/shaking - LONG

    I have been reading threads and trying to figure out where to start. I am narrowing it down to the ABS system but I am unsure. The difficulty is live in Nevada and the burb is in Alaska with limited resources for help. The suburban sits most of the year and has only seen 18000 miles in the last...

    FREE Q Logic Subwoofer boxes for Suburban rear doors

    Yep thats right FREE! The only catch is you need to pick them up or I can drop them off at a Shipping center for them to package them up and ship. You will need to make the arrangements. They are in fantastic shape and are RED. They can easily be painted to match your interior. These are...

    K2500 4x4 replacement lower control arms. Need help please.

    I have searched and searched without any luck. Maybe I am calling them by the wrong name. I have a 1993 suburban K2500 4x4 with the stamped steel lower control arms with the riveted in ball joints. The shop wants $1000 to replace 4 ball joints and I have found through searching this is a...

    ABS noise?

    1993 K2500 suburban 4x4 I have a strange whir/buzz noise shortly after starting my suburban. It lasts 1 -2 seconds and then never again while driving that time. I really have no idea where it is coming from other than drivers side firewall (ish) After reading through threads there is a pump...

    Need experienced rear disc swap people 14 bolt

    So I have looked and searched and have a few questions about a rear disc swap on a 14 bolt. My rig sits for as many as 6 months in Alaska when I am away. It is usually cold and wet where it will be. Think Seattle or British Columbia. The drum brakes often stick. If you would please let me...

    EGR valve ??? two wire or three wire? CONFUSED

    So here is what I have. Apparently this is the EGR solenoid most commonly found on 454 and 4.3 engines. I am not sure why it found a home on my 5.7 though. The eBay seller ctmss4284 makes very clean high quality electrical parts for our vehicles. He called me directly to work through this...

    EGR valve ??? two wire or three wire? CONFUSED

    I have a 1993 K2500 suburban 4x4 base. All of the diagrams I find show an EGR solenoid with a two wire connection and mine has a three wire solenoid. I ordered a harness for a three wire heated O2 sensor with a great design that Ts into the EGR harness since it is fused and ignition switched...
