All good advise.

When my 2001 Suburban a/c started blowing warm air. I opened the hood and started looking t the visible fittings on the passenger side. One thing that caught my attention was the...

Your next step is to find the leak. Get a refrigerant with a dye and UV flashlight. You will find the leak even if it is from the evaporator that is located under the dash..

Are you sure you are using the correct end of the tool? Don't use the flat male end, use the square female end.

Using a cooling system pressure tester is the only way to go. You can loan the tool from any parts store and just pay a refundable deposit

no problem. better start spraying those caliper bracket bolts with pb blaster and let it soak for a day.

here is a instructional video.

The parking brake shoes reside inside the brake rotor hat. I remember adjusting it once a long time ago. I don't remember though if I took the rotor out or not. But there was an adjustment.

I just did my rear brakes last month. My six point impact socket set is metric so it must be a 17 or 18.

Before you buy the calipers and hoses for the front brakes, why don't you remove the front brake pads and push the caliper pistons back as far back as possible with a C-clamp, reinstall the pads,...

-27 inches Hg is actually under vacuum but not quite evacuated which should be around -29 to 30 Hg.
I will not leave it under vacuum as it will let in air and moisture. Charge a little R134A to get...

1. Do they really have a/c outlets as in 120 volt a/c? Those are inverters supplied by the battery and it simply converts dc to ac power supply. It's possible the inverters are faulty or could be...

I have a 2011. I do not have oil consumption issues as well. I change my oil at 30% oil life remaining.

My only worry is the low 40 psi oil pressure at cruising compared to the 60 psi on the...

Good advise from Skippy.

A few questions.
1. What was the normal oil pressure reading before it went 70 psi?
2. What type of oil (conventional or synthetic) and viscosity are you using?

Most probably a valve cover oil leak dripping into the exhaust.

I've had the truck since 8k miles. The wife drives it. She is not very hard on the brakes always anticipating stops.

The thing is, I replaced the factory pads with the Advance Gold brake pads. I guess it's too late to go back to factory pads.
But in another 100k miles, I may get another Suburban by then....

I just completed the brake job this past weekend.

Is it normal for these models just to wear out pads without chewing up rotors? I was a little surprised as I was planning also on replacing front...

I already finished the front pads. The front caliper is held by 2 torx bolts and guide pin as one assembly to the bracket. Once the guide pins were out, the caliper pulled out really easy,

I am...

Since you already had it pulled out, why don't you just go ahead and open it up and inspect the differential case bearings and internals?

Have you replaced the fuel filter? Clogged fuel filter can cause runnability issues.

In addition to above, pull the vacuum line off the fpr. If fuel comes out of the vacuum line connection at...

ABS and Brakes lights on instrument panel still OFF after 100 miles. I believe my ABS module is fixed.

Now I can use the savings on new brake pads and rotor resurface.

2001 with 170k miles and I use it to pull 6x12 enclosed and loaded trailer before I got the silverado last year. Replaced tranny fluid at 140k, fuel pump and regulator at 150k, alternator refresh at...

Have you tried cleaning the throttle body? Carbon build up around and behind the throttle plate will cause erratic idle air bleed thus fluctuating idle.

I pulled the ABS module today. The mass connector has a red tab that you need to pull down to release the connector. Once I got it out, I followed the diy step by step and opened the top cover by...

Spent some time this morning and pulled the switch console on the driver side arm rest. I am getting 12 volts coming out of the switch but the motor is not turning. I think I will go ahead and buy...
