    Yet another air conditioning thread!

    With the temperatures hitting mid to upper 90s almost daily now, I threw in the towel and decided to start poking around with my 97 Suburbans (7.4L, no rear A/C) air conditioning system. It hasn't worked at all in the 4 years that I've owned it. To start, I tested the clutch on the compressor...

    1997 Suburban - Rear Defogger Circuit Fault

    Hello everyone! I've got a bit of an issue that has me scratching my head. My 97' K2500 Burb blew the 30A "RR DEFOG" fuse under the hood, so I've been without the rear defogger for a few months. Otherwise, the truck has been running great aside from a interior door handle snapping again...

    Loose gear box

    Hey there, so I got my truck aligned and got new tires put on and the guy at the counter said that the technician noted that the steering box was loose and the pitman arm needed to be replaced. I'm fairly certain I replaced my pitman arm about a year ago... I'll have to go through some...

    Stuck inner tie rods

    Hi everyone, I'll start by saying that I'm a novice to suspension work and I'm learning with my Suburban. I've already replaced my CV axle as well as both wheel hubs. I could use some guidance from someone who's experienced here. Initially I was replacing an ABS wheel speed sensor, but I also...

    ABS Issues

    So, about 3000 miles ago I replaced both front ABS sensors as well as both wheel hubs and one CV axle on my 97 K2500 Suburban. It drove all the way from my old house on the California coast to Colorado with absolutely no issues -- ABS light was off, and the few times I needed to quickly stop the...

    Rust above windshield

    So, I was very sad when I saw that my burb has some rust going on right above the windshield, bubbling a little bit on the roof. I've been putting it off for months since I just don't have the money to get it repaired. Well, today I noticed that the paint was starting to peel off around the...

    Oil filter adapter leak?

    Hi guys, So I've been searching around on here as well as Google, but I can't seem to find what I'm looking for, so sorry for a duplicate thread if it exists. There is a pinned thread on here that sounds like it could be what I'm looking for, but the pictures no longer exist and that has me a...

    My 1997 K2500 Suburban

    Well. I wish I had a great story for this truck, but I picked it up in late December of 2017 and have been throwing quite a bit of money at it. Lately I've been using it as my daily driver as my Chevy Cobalt has a nasty exhaust leak... but I intend on using it for camping trips and towing my...

    First Truck: 1997 Chevy Suburban K2500

    Hi there everyone! I bought a 1997 Chevy Suburban K2500 with the 7.4l Vortec in late December of 2017. The truck is in awesome condition as far as the body goes, and the engine seems to be pretty bullet proof. I bought it with 159K on the clock, and racked up about 2K miles already. No leaks...
