Recently got a 2020 suburban with the 5.3. Looking for recommendations for an AFM disabler. I see them ranging from $60 to $250. Unsure if the higher priced ones are actually better.
Just got trans rebuilt and my driveshaft will only go in about an inch do you think the end of the tailshaft is causing it
Hello everyone. I recently bought a 2004 Suburban 1500 with the 5.3 and absolutely love it. The engine runs amazing when warmed up but the only thing I’m worried about is when I do a cold start, it makes this slight tapping/knocking/squeaking noise. It goes away after about 2 minutes but I was just hoping someone here with more experience might have some insight into it. I’ll attach a video of it. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you!
I’m thinking about taking my beloved Big Hoopty on a trip from NC to Florida. 1,400 miles there and back plus all the driving in Florida to go to and from the beaches. She’s an 04, 1500 and has 260 something thousand miles on her. I just bought her last March and haven’t taken her on a trip that long before. The previous owners said they took her on family trips all the time but he was a mechanic and I’m sure he kept up with her better than I do 😅 I replaced the radiator back in March and just got a new battery. She definitely needs an alignment, some new brakes and an oil change before making that trip, but I was wondering if there was anything else I can check and make sure she’s in the best shape for that big of a trip. Let me know your thoughts, thanks!!
Update: I bought it, 2,200 cash.
Need some advice for a purchase I’m looking at. I’m looking at purchasing a 2002 suburban. 300k miles. 2 owners. Meticulously kept with records of oil changes and lots of maintenance. Tires, brakes & brake lines, shocks, belts, etc. asking price is 3k. Is this a relatively safe deal? What should I look for when I go see it tonight? It’s at a dealership. I’m no mechanic but can do a lot of things. This will be a weekend beater, not my daily.
