beat on the underside of your fuel tank repeatedly (Don't be shy) with a large rubber mallet, dead blow or even if there is room kick it. If it starts after the beating it is NOT fixed! all you managed to do is break the armature loose inside the fuel pump motor allowing it to spin. It will only work a couple of times but it is a quick way to know if your fuel pump has gone out. I highly recommend replacing the wiring harness that powers the pump as well since it is very inexpensive and is submerged in fuel.
If your 97 GMC Suburban won't start when it is hot outside, check the distributor cap to ensure it is clean. You should also ensure it has plenty of coolant.
