    92 suburban out of storage, started and died

    Alright, since the truck is at a friend's cabin, what are some good things to bring along for parts to test out if the ground is not the problem? I'm bringing as many tools as I can, including electrical connectors in case I find sny wires rodents have got a hold of.

    92 suburban out of storage, started and died

    There will be no updates until the weekend as its sitting at the cabin right now... I do however have new battery terminals and the broken ground wire will be the first thing taken care of. On the battery itself I see no corrosion at all but will have to see this weekend how the wires look.

    92 suburban out of storage, started and died

    Its 2 years old, 5/19. I took the battery out of the truck and charged it for 2 hours and started tried starting it in the morning. Still had dome lights but no crank or clicking.

    92 suburban out of storage, started and died

    So after 5 months in storage I was planning on taking my 1992 suburban out of winter storage. It started up like it was never parked and idled perfectly, but once I got it moving down the driveway it just flat out died (no spitting or sputtering). I tried to start it again and the lights worked...

    Straightening a drop bumper

    So I just acquired this stainless drop bumper for 50 dollars, knowing it had a dent on top, but as it turns out the seller didn't look at it before listing it. It has some slight damage to the passenger side face and I am wondering what my best method of straightening it out with your basic...

    Trailer light wiring gremlins

    Well the junkyard alternator is in and it jumped up past 14 volts. Gotta love it. Now to go back to O'Rileys and try to return the old/new one, it should be under warranty.

    Trailer light wiring gremlins

    what the cluster is reading. When I unplug the battery charger I can watch the battery drain on the multimeter. The alternator always reads what the battery is reading but is always below 12V. I do have a spare junkyard alternator I can throw in tommorrow and see what happens. But the battery...

    Trailer light wiring gremlins

    I dug around tonight and put a multimeter to the battery, it sat around 12 volts after charging shortly and when turned on ran at 11.4. After I turned the truck off it returned to 11.6. The alternator post, nut and wire were all at 1.5v(all with the trailer lights disconnected) I also followed...

    Trailer light wiring gremlins

    I haven't had time to do anything, but I had to jump the truck this morning, I don't know if the Wisconsin cold snap had anything to do with it, I haven't had to jump it since the new battery. It ran at 14 volts cruising at 65 all the way into town but the second I stopped it dropped.

    Trailer light wiring gremlins

    Here's what I'm working with. The guy that we bought the truck from 2 years ago was an electrical engineer and may have reran the wiring. I can trace a blue wire from the rear trailer pin connector into the firewall. I also believe that the gray wrapped wires zipped tied to it may be associated...

    Trailer light wiring gremlins

    Alright so I have a 92 k1500 suburban with some wiring issues. When the truck is running with nothing plugged into the 7 pin connector something is drawing power from my battery. Also when I plug in a boat or something large, the truck goes instantly dead. The truck constantly runs at around 11...

    vacumm leak and cruise control.

    I have a 92 suburban with the 350 that has recently developed what I believe to be a vacuum leak. Around the same time, my cruise control stopped working and I believe it's correlated. I asked around at O'Riley's and the guy said it could be my cruise control module line, but I don't believe it...
