    ACDelco 6MX95FS GM Original Equipment Positive Battery Fuse Block Cable and ACDelco 12135196 GM Original Equipment Multi-Purpose Relay is what I got for my truck. Amazon, don't remember exact prices, may 100.00 for both.

    aux battery for 1998 k1500 question

    Awesome. I did run a test brown wire temporarily from fuse 24 to the small tap on the relay and works perfect! Now I have to see the best way to fish a wire through from the engine compartment to the inside fuse box. I already have a hole that may work, but I also need to run a couple of wires...

    aux battery for 1998 k1500 question

    Trigger wire? I agree there SHOULD be something that tells it to open or close. That's probably the issue somehow, but I don't see how a trigger wire fits into the wiring diagram. There's only two post , well three on the relay, but the ground is not used and I did check that the relay...

    aux battery for 1998 k1500 question

    Looking for some understanding here how this is supposed to work. I'm pretty sure I have it hooked up like the diagram says, but I get no charging to the aux battery. I'm pretty sure the relay isn't opening or closing more likely to be technical about it, and that's been my misunderstanding...

    1998 K1500 brake pedal adjustment

    Is there a way to adjust the freeplay in the brake pedal on a 1998 K1500? I've been fighting with my brakes for a couple of years and just can't really get a good pedal. I bought a 1998 Suburban K1500 a while back and it has a great pedal feel. So today I decided to poke around the internet a...

    1998 Suburban K1500 rear defogger

    Hi all. Looking for direction on my Suburban rear defrost. I had picked up a kit from permatex and was going to work on it today, but the more I tested, the more it looks like I might have a wire or two not working from the door switch. It seems there are two wires for each door. Each side...

    Stock front suspension height?

    Same sort of question I have as well for my Suburban. Thanks for posting the pic. My 1998 Suburban was just about touching and I cranked my torsion bar about a turn and it ended up like your pic. I've leveled it out, went for my alignment today and they spec'ed it again. My 1998 K1500 truck...

    Suburban alignment question

    So I took it to an alignment shop and got one of those 1 year deals where I can take it back anytime to realign. Plan to take advantage of that at least a couple of times within the year. It wasn't that much out and drives straight as an arrow right now. Pleased so far. We'll see how the...

    Need info on shock fitment - Ride quality

    Thanks for the info. Here is a pic I took today since they were both pretty clean. Probably bad angles and I wasn't taking the pic to show that I think the front is higher, but I think you can tell what I'm talking about. It's probably just an optical illusion.

    Need info on shock fitment - Ride quality

    Can you provide more info on how to do this to newbie suspension people like me, and what it does? Looking to get a little educated here. Picked up a 98 Suburban K1500 a few months back and to me it looks like the front is higher than the back. I guess I should measure. Anyway, put new...

    Suburban alignment question

    Mustang GT... Thanks. I did the front wheel hub bearings last weekend before the new tires. They looked original, plus I had a slight shaking feeling between 65 and 75 with 70 being the worst. I had the same thing recently on my truck and wheel hub bearings seemed to fix it, so took a...

    Suburban alignment question

    Have a newly acquired 1998 Suburban K1500. Had a free alignment check done at AAA using a coupon. Asked tech was everything tight, look good, etc. He said yes. Everything is in spec. Got new tires on the back because they needed it, front are very little wear newish Michelins. Same tires I...

    Transfer Case Fill Plug - Stripped!

    You da man! I accomplished nothing but where you were at starting this thread. Ended up cutting my losses at a T-50 torx and figured I will have to drill and extract as I came here to see you did. Good job. Hanson multi spline extractor. I'll be looking that up. I was browsing through...

    1998 Suburban 4x4 switch lights

    Thanks MsChevy. I bought some bulbs to replace my factory radio lights and need to work on that. From what I can tell, these look like a very similar job to remove and solder them. Might even take the same bulbs I bought for my radio. I bought extras so maybe I can get lucky there. Probably...

    Transfer Case Fill Plug - Stripped!

    Will be watching this one. I too have a 98 Suburban, recently acquired, same situation. Fill plug is stripped. Bought me a heat gun yesterday at Lowes as there is a technical bulletin regarding this issue I found and GM recommends heat gun to heat around the case, not the plug to try removal...

    1998 Suburban 4x4 switch lights

    So, let me preface this by saying that my 4x4 on my Suburban works ok as far as I can tell. (We just had a bit of snow and ice and I was able to give it a good rundown. New to me in December 2014.) This is likely just a switch bulb issue of some sort. I'm just curious if there is a good way...

    Bluex's extra parts clearance sale.

    Looks like the dash vents got sold, but making sure. If not and all functional, I'd take them for 15. Let me know. Thanks.

    1998 Suburban K1500 HVAC issue

    To follow up. I a glad I did NOT decide to swap dash control units from my truck to the Suburban. When I pulled the control unit out of the Suburban to replace it, the ears on the main wiring harness I guess it would be, broke off to no end. I was even very careful, but they just snapped...

    1998 Suburban K1500 HVAC issue

    Nope. Not mad at all. A bit disappointed that NOBODY took time to respond. Just looking for a little direction. Came here because the other forum I was in (you're also a member there) I got at least some response, but not really anything helpful. I figured between the two forums, somebody...

    1998 Suburban K1500 HVAC issue

    RESOLUTION!!! In my case it was the AC dash control unit. I purchased another control unit, ACDelco 15-72547. Easy to replace, just a few plug connection harnesses to disconnect and reconnect. Now everything works and recirculation button doesn't send the airflow to the floor. Thanks for...

    New sending unit problem

    Wonder if I can do this pulling the needle while the tank is partially full? My gas needle does the "wild thing" when turning on the vehicle. As in it pegs back and forth and around a couple or three times, then settles in at approximately the actual level of the tank. Start the truck and it...

    1998 Suburban K1500 HVAC issue

    so I was poking around some more... found this thread. http://www.gmt400.com/forum/showthread.php?2014-No-AC-from-dash-vents Same issue, no real resolution. I hate it when people put something out there and never follow up... This calibration thing regarding the actuators, I've disconnected...

    1998 Suburban K1500 HVAC issue

    So. Confirmed the mode door actuator on the Suburban acts exactly the same as the truck when not in recirc mode. When pressing the recirc button on the Suburban, the mode door moves forward. On the truck, stays put (as expected). This leads me to think the mode door actuator works and...

    1998 Suburban K1500 HVAC issue

    So... Nobody? One question. Chances of it likely being a control unit issue more than a mechanical door or actuator issue? I'm thinking of buying a new control unit, pricey, but if it is the issue and corrects it, then I'm ok with spending the money. It's supposed to have a lifetime...
