You have to look at all symptoms. There is a real good chance that your ECU is malfunctioning if: - Vehicle, after running fine for a while, suddenly dies with no idications of impending failure. If the car dies after just 2 or 3 seconds, it's more likely that it would be a security issue - After engine dies, vehicle is experiencing 'complete' electrical shutdown, meaning no radio, no dome lights, no click sound when you turn the key, no clock..no nothing ...just dead. -After a few minutes, say 10 to 20, the vehicle starts again and runs with no problems ...at least until the next identical episode. Could be a couple of hours, could be days or even weeks. - All battery/elec connections have been checked and verified that they are all good...no loose wires...solid ground. - Alternator and Voltage Regulator have been checked out, and are functioning properly. If all these symptoms occur, you very likely need to replace your ECU. It's and easy parts swap, and they're available at your local auto parts store for $150 or less. Hope this helps, CD
An ECU is essentially the brain for a 1999 GMC Suburban. Without an ECU the truck will not be able to operate at all.
Sounds like torque converter is going bad
Depending on what part of the ecu is bad, yes.
get your ecu checked out my 91 was doing the same thing, the ecu was bad, and the ground to the ecu was bad, which caused the "fry" to the ecu.
If both trucks are 2-wheel drives are both of them are 4-wheel drives you sure can.
What gasket?
That would be a 4L60E.
Locked my keys in it help
Most of the ECU's are located behind the glove box. You will need to disconnect all battery cables before you do this. It may be a little difficult to get at the screws. But shouldn't be too bad.
The 95 model does not have one.
On my 1992 Prizm the ECU is behind the center console; just beneath the back of the radio/ashtray.
YES, That would be a direct swop.
