    Roller Pin Replacement

    The roller pin in my passenger door top hinge is breaking apart (the bottom rolling part is severely bent). Most of the videos I'm finding online are about the hinge pin. Anyone done the rolling pin before and have any tips or tricks? It looks like I'll need a door spring tool and may need to...

    AC Rattle?

    I have a fairly loud rattle coming from the compressor (or that area). The rattle stops within a second or two of turning off the AC. Any thoughts? I only noticed this because I realized yesterday that the rear is not blowing cold, so I was about to try and diagnose whether it was a blend door...

    Can someone verify I've got the correct FPR

    Solved my door rattle

    After reading around a bit on here, I decided to try the simplest method and it's working well for me so far, though it has only been a few months. I loosened the strikers (all 4 on the Burb), pushed them as far in towards the interior as I could, and then retightened them. This made a huge...

    Good rubber, but crackly hoses - nasty coolant

    The rubber hoses seem to be in very good condition, but if I squeeze them I can feel some crackling from what feels like a layer caked onto the inside. My coolant does look pretty nasty, with some crusty stuff on the inside of the radiator lid and in the reservoir. I did have it dumped and...

    Replacing Stock Front Shocks on 2500 - How Difficult?

    The price is super low on Amazon at the moment, so I just bought a pair. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BYNJ6AM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 How tricky is the installation - frozen bolts, funky body positions...etc. My time is limited and my back is gimpy. Lately I've...

    Ordered these https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000COBK8A/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Hella horns 12v pair, and they came with a relay (little black box).

    Accessing Rear AC Condenser Coils - Suburban

    I just cleaned out my front AC coil and am liking the results so far. I found some how-to vids online for this, but am not having any luck finding info on cleaning the rear coils. I'm assuming they're on the passenger side somewhere in that box along the inner wall in the back. I know the fan is...

    Accessing Wonky Power Antenna

    There's been something wrong with my power antenna from day one. It makes a loud clanking noise when it raises or lowers the mast and radio reception is awful. I just replaced my head unit, and the antenna connection looks good behind the stereo but my reception is now even worse. So I'm...

    Oil pressure jumping around

    I believe this just started happening, though it's possible I simply hadn't noticed it before... Oil pressure is sitting around 25 at idle and jumps to 60 as soon as I accelerate. It does not drop back as the rpms drop though. It drops once I've let off the gas and the speed has dropped to 25...

    Why is there fresh oil on my starter?

    I had a pic, but it's too large to upload or something... Anyway, my starter has fresh looking oil on it, especially on the base where it attaches to the truck. I've got a 7.4 The oil seems to be primarily just on the starter, not so much around it and I don't see anything from above looking...

    Locating brake fluid leakage

    Edit - [turns out to be my brake proportioning valve] My brake fluid reservoir is emptying itself out every couple of months. I don't see any obvious leakage. Any suggestions as to where to look? The larger reservoir is down to the bottom, pretty much empty, but the smaller reservoir is...

    Suburban Owners AC Question - Does Your Truck Get Cold When It's Really Hot Out?

    I'm contemplating going back to the mechanic that replaced my compressor, but I'm just not sure if I'm expecting too much from this AC. My dual AC seems to cool the truck off fine when the overhead console tells me it's ~95 or under, but when it's reading hotter than that the truck just never...

    Replacing Power Steering Speed Sensor

    The Burb is a bit scary to drive fast and I'm hoping it may be a Speed Sensor issue. I typically drive 80+ on the freeway, but in the Burb I stay well below that, more in the 60-70 range, and I still don't feel comfortable when hitting a freeway curve or bump. Basically, any speeds much over 50...
