Introducing...me

**spyder2000** · 02-21-2009, 05:58 PM

Hello all,

My name is Mark. I'm from Richmond Hill, GA (near Savannah). My wife and I each own a Suburban (mine is a 94; hers is a 99). Obviously we love these things.

I am involved in sports car race events, and my burb has done considerable tow duties. Neither has ever needed any major work and each has over 200k on it. I also own a Fiat Spider and a Honda S2000. I've had many Fiats in my life. They were always fun cars and as long as *I* was in charge of servicing them I never experienced an issue.

I'm here now though, because my wife's Suburban has a blown head gasket (or worse) and I am in the process of tearing it down to examine and repair. I hope you folks will lend some advice as I do this.

Small cars I'm okay with, but this big beast is high off the ground and as wide as a canyon across.

I've done a lot of work on the bottoms of these vehicles and I'll post my tips when I see the opportunity.

Regards to all,
Mark

Welcome! I've had a 1969 Fiat 500 for years. I live in England and my cars are all left hand drive. Even my motorbikes are left hand drive!

welcome to the Site. What engine does your wife's burb have?

**spyder2000** · 02-23-2009, 08:28 AM

She has a 5.7L vortec. The power steering pump has an allen head bolt in the center which I can get loose. Since the pulley rotates clockwise, the bolt should as well to remove...and that is my current roadblock.
