    Which Pads?

    I haven’t bought brake pads in a few years. What pads offer the best stopping power? I don’t care how fast they wear since I don’t put many miles on my Suburban but when I do I’m usually loaded down and need the most stopping power I can get.

    Evap Canister Close Valve

    Having trouble finding a new one. I have an evap code and I had the shop smoke it. They said it was the vent valve that is mounted to the side of the canister. I guess on some it's called the close valve. Anybody know where I can find one for a 1999 Suburban K1500? The shop said that GM no...

    Lost Front Brakes

    The front passenger line was rubbing on the inside of the wheel and sprung a leak. Thank God it ruptured while I was stopped and not traveling fast. I know the front and back are separate systems but with no front pressure my pedal would go easily to the floor and it wasn't till the last inch...

    Too Much Steering Assist

    A while back I replaced the evo pump with a new one that has the bypass tube Also replaced hoses. The steering was quite stiff like it didn't have enough assist but I drove it like that for a year or so but never was happy with it. Then just recently I replaced all the rest of the steering...

    Lower Intermediate Steering Shaft

    I'm replacing all of my steering components and have ordered everything but this shaft that includes the rag joint. It was GM# 26033170 and looks like it is discontinued. I see that Dorman makes one but would like to know if anyone knows of or recommends another brand.

    Pulsing Lights

    Every light in the entire vehicle is pulsing. I don't think it's a random flicker but more of a steady rhythmic pulse. It only occurs when it is running. I've checked battery and ground connections. Is this sounding like an alternator problem to you guys? Is there a way to diagnose? Brad

    Does anyone know how to get in contact with them? I found a phone number from another site but it has been disconnected. I've emailed them with no response. Did they go out of business or what? Anybody know? Brad

    Parking Brake Adjust

    I took my 99 OBS K1500 to Les Schwab today for two rear brake problems and they didn't resolve either so I need your help. The first is the access hole in the backing plate for the adjuster. They tried several ways of punching it out and gave up cause they didn't want to bend the backing plate...

    Brake Pedal Travel

    My pedal moves a couple inches before it firms up enough to stop traveling. Is this normal for a '99 K1500? How should the brake pedal act, feel, sound, etc?

    Hydro Boost Swap on K1500

    The brakes on my '99 Suburban (JB6 RPO code) are all brand new plus I had braided lines installed. I an still not happy with the feel or stopping distance. Basically they just don't seem to be working very good. Now, this is a "new to me" vehicle so maybe they are working as designed but it just...

    Spider Injector Upgraded???

    Is there a way to tell if the spider injector has been upgraded without having to remove the upper intake? Is there something to look for on the module behind the throttle body or some such clue? 99 K1500 classic. Thanks, Brad

    Hard and Early Shifts

    Hi, It seems to me that my tranny shifts too early (low rpms) into second gear and maybe a tad early into third. Even when trying to accelerate fast. It's like the vehicle is just getting going and it shifts and seems to bog it down. Also, the shifts in all gears are very hard. The previous...

    Leveling Help

    I know there's a lot of info out there but the more I read the more confused I get. I have a 99 classic body K1500 Suburban. I'd like to run 285/75/16s. I've been thinking I'd go up 2" front and back. My trouble is the vehicle is sitting fairly level. Does this mean previous owner has already...

    Wiper Fix

    So I had the typical problem with my wiper system this weekend. Washer wasn't squirting and the wipers would park themselves in a different position every time they stopped. After doing some reading I quickly realized it was the control board and most suggested buying a new one. I came across...
