    Abs light on, strange behavior

    Sorry if this is in the wrong place. My 1994 k1500 suburban has the abs light on and if I hit the brakes with the wheel turned at low speeds the abs freaks out and pulses the brakes like crazy. I did pads, rotors, calipers, master, and booster recently, the drums were good, just needed some...

    Which Blend Door Actuator?

    Does anyone know why there are something like 4 different blend door actuators available for these trucks? I need to replace mine (1994 K1500 Suburban SLE) and I don't know if I have the 2 pin, 4 pin, 5 pin etc. Short of pulling the actuator out beforehand, does anyone know how to properly...

    Adding Rear Heat 1994 Suburban

    Hey guys, not sure if this is the right spot, but I'm hoping someone has done this before. I have a 1994 suburban k1500 with rear ac, I want to add rear heat. I'm trying to figure out everything I need to do this. Obviously the ideal scenario involves finding a sub that already has this and...

    Best water pump?

    I've got a 94 k1500 suburban with the 5.7l motor. The water pump started leaking a few days ago at 140k miles. I'm not mad, I drive this truck hard as hell and it's never left me stranded. Water pumps for these engines are dirt cheap, I want the best OEM style replacement out there, wondering...

    Piston Installation Tips and Tricks?

    A buddy of mine, who is a Honda mechanic and has rebuilt many non-4l60e transmissions, is helping me rebuild a 4l60e out of a trailblazer and I'm running into some issues getting the pistons installed for the forward gears. The manuals and videos say to use a feeler gauge, but that resulted in...

    How to short/bypass window switch?

    The drivers window switch went out in my 1994 k1500 suburban. I went to all the local yards and couldn't find a replacement. Does anyone know if there's a way to short it out so I can make the window roll up?

    Cv axle replacement, how bad?

    I've got a 94 k1500 suburban 5.7l 4l60e and it needs new cv axles. How bad of a job am I getting into? Does it require pulling the knuckle apart? Should I just do the ball joints while I'm at it?

    Z71Hobbs Comes Through Once Again!

    @Z71Hobbs posted a grey cup holder a while back, I commented that I would buy it if it were red. He actually went out and found me a red one! He is easy to work with, his prices seem reasonable, and the cup holder is in great shape. I would definitely buy from him again.

    Improved fuel economy?

    I know most people generally ask how to make more power, but I don't tow anything with my suburban and it's not exactly what I imagine for a sports car. I'm wondering what you guys have done on a 5.7L TBI engine to improve fuel economy without breaking the bank. Does Black Bear offer tunes for...

    Low idle on hot start

    When it is hot outside, and the engine is hot, the truck idles really low and almost dies on startup. This does not happen in the morning when it is cool and the truck has been sitting. If I give it some gas it comes back to life and idles fine. The truck runs fine aside from this, no codes...

    NV3500 behind cammed 5.3?

    So, technically this isn't a question about a GMT 400, but I like you guys more than the guys on s10forums. I'm looking into swapping a mildly modded (cammed and tuned) 5.3l into my 2000 s10. It currently has a 2.2 with an nv1500, so I need a new trans when i do it. Do you guys think an...

    Difference between GMC and Chevy headlights?

    Can someone please tell me why a bunch of aftermarket headlight kits say they will not fit GMC trucks? Is it actually the headlights, or just the marker lights?

    Turning wheel to lock while stopped bogs down engine

    If I'm at a complete stop and turn the steering wheel all the way in either direction, the engine bogs down, almost feels like it is stumbling. I know I am putting more demand on the PS pump and demanding more power, but this seems somewhat excessive. Is this normal, or should I be hunting for...

    Best original ride height suspension for highway use?

    My 94 k1500 burban needs some new shocks, she rides like a boat on the highway. What's the best bolt in option for comfort while retaining factory, or close to it, ride height and travel? What have you guys used and what was your opinion of them?

    Aftermarket fog lamp question

    My 94 k1500 suburban has an aftermarket valance under the bumper with two round fogs lights. the fog lights are shot, they shorted out and blew the fuse, presumably due to the moisture in the fixture, I inspected the wires and they appear to be fine. Does anyone else have this valance on their...

    Leaking power steering line

    I've got a 94 k1500 suburban 5.7l tbi. One of the lines, presumably the high pressure line, is spraying fluid all over the place. I want to replace both lines but it looks like I would have to pull the pump to do that. Does anyone know what the easiest way to get in there and pull the lines is...

    Oil leak

    Hey guys, I got home and noticed smoke coming from under the hood of my 94 k1500 burban. I popped the hood and found oil on the top of the driver side valve cover, near the fill cap, the oil is dripping down and landing on the exhaust manifold. Has anyone seen issues with oil leaking from the...

    Door Striker Replacement Question

    Hey guys, the door striker on the driver's door of my 94 k1500 burban is beat to hell and driving over bumps makes a lovely noise. I've got new strikers but haven't dug into it yet. I can't seem to find a definitive answer as to whether or not the nut that secures them is captive. Can someone...

    I'm in PA but would be willing to pay for shipping. I have a 1994 Suburban, the latches that hold the floor flaps upright when the seats are not folded down are missing in mine, I need both latches, don't care what color. I don't know what these are actually called, but here's a picture (the...

    Suburban middle row seat "floor flap" question

    Does anyone have a picture of the latch that holds the, for lack of a better term, "floor flaps" on the back of the middle seats upright when the seats aren't folded down? They are both missing in mine and I don't even know what they look like, I want to make sure I order the right parts.

    Preparing for road trip, any suggested maintenance?

    I bought my 94 burb about a year ago with the intention of it being my road trip vehicle. I know, terrible gas mileage, but the suburban is a million times more comfy on long hauls than my s10. I'm going to be driving about 1200 miles in just over a day and then doing the trip in reverse (not...

    PowerStop front brakes?

    I'm just wondering if anyone has used the PowerStop Z23 brake kit and what their thoughts were on it. I put a similar PowerStop kit on my little S10 because I didn't want to warp the rotors while towing and I love them, but I would only do it on this truck if I thought it would help the overall...

    Gas Gauge Woes

    Hey Guys, sick of my stupid questions yet? :) I have a 94 K1500 Burban and the gas gauge won't go lower than 3/4 but will go above that if i add gas, I don't think it is actually stuck at the 3/4 mark or above because i definitely didn't add enough to fill it up. The gauge doesn't zero out...
