    99 suburban rear right barn door glass

    Anyone know of a good source for the *right/passenger* barn door glass? I need a tinted/defrost window. The market seems to be flooded with left glass, but no right. Even Amazon appears to only sell left glass...... Maybe we ran out of right-sided sand to make right-side windows????

    Rocker adjustment

    There are a million examples of this, but I still have a question about it. :-) My lifters are already pressurized; there is no spring to them. I adjusted to zero-lash, + 1/2 turn. But I measured the valve height with a caliper before/after and the valve drops right at .025". This means I have...

    99 C1500 Suburban P0300

    My suburban is throwing the P0300 and sounds like it's running on about 4cyl. I have already replaced the fuel pump with a new Delco unit about 1.5 years ago. About 2 years ago I did the MPFI upgrade with a new Delco unit. I just replaced the fuel filter today. Pressure starts at about 52, then...

    99 C1500 Suburban PCM diagnostics cycle

    I cleared codes after converting to MPFI and replacing all the cats/o2 sensors. That was 1 month ago and approx 1K miles. Friggin PCM is still claiming "Not ready for emissions testing". Is there a tried/true formula somewhere that works for this vehicle? I've done a number of WOT accels to...

    How hot is too hot?

    So my wife pulled another wonder on me. The fixed idler pulley locked up and wrecked the belt. She noticed that the Suburban suddenly went "hard to steer" so she pulled over and left it running(to keep the kids cool) while she inspected what was wrong and marveled at the pretty green fountain...

    Steering gear

    When I bought my Suburban it was leaking PS fluid like a sieve. I had researched the reseal process before I bought it so I knew what I was in for. I resealed it according to the instructions and replaced the PS pump with a non-EVO unit as well. I had read a lot of people were eliminating the...

    Plug wires arcing

    I started a thread about my 99 Suburban missing or stumbling and not throwing codes several months ago, but I can't seem to find the thread. I noticed something today. I had read recently about the coolant temp sensor going bad and telling the ECU that the engine is cold. I checked it with the...

    Rear/side window reseal

    My kid pushed the passenger rear side window away from the frame. Does anyone know of a writeup on doing this? Just trying to eliminate the gotchas. Im planning on just cleaning the frame and resealing with some window weld. Any suggestions?

    GM GoodWrench engine

    Has anyone used this engine before? Is it any good? I don't need an engine just yet, but I'm probably going to need one in the next year or so. I'm looking for longevity, not performance. It's going in the wife's 99 Suburban, so it just has to go vroom when she turns the key and hit 70mph. I've...

    CSFI to MPFI

    Anyone know why the Delphi unit is so much more expensive than the ACDelco? Is it that much(any) better? I ran across some mention that the ACDelco is just the Delphi re-branded? I just replaced my lower intake gaskets and it seems to run much better. But I'm still getting a slight miss if I...

    Clogged poppet

    Is it possible for a clogged poppet to cause a low speed vibration but not throw a misfire code? I believe my engine might be slightly missing at low speed. It seems to clear up at about 1200 rpm. I'm also getting a raw smelling exhaust at idle. The only code thrown was a TPS code. I've...

    Accelerator pedal vibration

    I'm getting a vibration(like a cell phone) in my accelerator pedal from initial roll forward. The vibration turns on and off randomly. Usually after the engine starts revving out. But not always. It's not u-joints or wheel bearings because the truck hasnt started moving yet when the vibration...

    Dipstick measurement

    I just changed the pan fluid and filter in a 99 2WD 4L60E. I measured what I took out, put back in the same amount, then topped off with an extra .5qt over about 20min of driving and measuring. My measurements show the fluid level to be right at the top of the HOT range when piping hot. Should...

    Power Steering Shudder

    I recently replaced the power steering pump and resealed the steering gear on the suburban. While researching the job, I saw lots of guidance on eliminating the electronic proportioning valve and just running a straight orifice from an earlier PS pump. I did this and everything seems to function...

    Bilstein Shocks (B8/B6)

    I just installed brand new KYB mono tubes and I'm getting some bounce out of the front end of my 99 Suburban. The tires are brand new(maybe 50 miles on them). I don't mean bounce when going over a swell in the road, I mean that irritating chatter when the wheel is fluttering like when it has a...

    99 Suburban C1500 2wd Rear shocks/coils

    I just replaced all four shocks on my suburban and the rears have a coilover spring around them. The springs are obviously removable, but the new shocks, which are for my truck, don't have the perches. Other videos online seem to show the same type of shock as the new ones I have(no spring) Is...

    Center drag link/relay rod clearance

    I'm rebuilding the front end on my 99 C1500 Suburban and my center drag link is so close to the stupid anti-contact-get-in-the-way-of-everything "thing" that extends out front of the cross member. I cant even get a hack saw blade in between the relay rod and the "thing". I've only had the...

    ECU Uptime since last reset

    Is there such a thing? I have a scan tool and I don't see anything. So I have about 100 miles on the suburban that I just bought and the check engine light is on. Yep, P0141. I'm wondering if the PO reset the ECU before I got there so everything looked good. The guy I bought it from owns a...

    Hello

    Apparently I am the new owner of a relatively well-kept 99 Suburban. So I will be here on the forum scouring for information. This is the first Chevy truck I've owned. Is there an idiot's Start Here With Your New Truck guide/thread of things to check? Commonly neglected stuff, weaknesses in the...
