It's difficult to tell, but sometimes a bad battery, or even a connection, will light lights, ect, but the minute you throw a big load (such as the starter motor), everything dies. Leaving it sit for a while will sometimes allow the light & things work. Check all batteries, connections & wires. Side terminal batteries sometimes corrode where you can't see them, sometimes the side terminals are loose inside the battery. Top post batteries can get a hard corrosion that requires the post & clamp to need a file to cut it. Sometime, one weak cell in a battery can cause a hard cold start, while the vehicle still starts fine when cold. Diesels take a lot of amps to start cold.
The 6.2 like most diesels has 2 batteries - a) because it takes a lot of amps to run the glow plugs and b) it has a much heavier starter to turn the diesel over (draw is typically about 175 amps on a gas motor -can be 400 + for a diesel).
Your Suburban should have a volt guage - watch closely as you wait for glow plugs to cycle, the voltage will drop noticeably as they go on and off - the KEY indicator is "IF the voltage returns to close to the normal voltage after the glow plugs finish cycling, then both the batteries and wiring are pretty good, BUT if the cycling of glow plug system really knocks down the voltage, then trying to engage the starter will be the last straw.
This tells you that you likely have 1 or both batteries going bad.
When a battery is more than 2 yrs old it can start to sulphate and lose progressively more and more of its reserve capacity - this can go on for a long while in a gas vehicle if the motor starts right up and the alternator is good.
In diesels however, the demands are far higher and yu don't get away with this for long. My 85 6.2 Suburban (350,000 miles) had batteries changed about every 3 - 4 years.

How do you disable the seat belt buzzer on a 2006 Ford Escape?
I just bougt the 2007 model and found a website that allows you to permanently or temp. disable the alarm. Hope this helps, because it was annoying the hell outta me, and as the site site, use at your own risk. You can Deactivate the Belt Minder two ways. First, you can deactivate it temporarily for your current "run cycle", that is after you have started your car and it's still running. Second, you completely deactivate the Belt Minder so that it never reminds you again, or at least until your reactivate it... The first method, temporary deactivation, or one time disable: After you have started your vehicle, buckle and then un-buckle your safety belt. Be sure to buckle back up.... This will disable the Belt Minder only for that ignition cycle. The second method, permanent deactivation: There are 9 steps you need to follow to deactivate or activate your Belt Minder system. Before doing so, make sure that: The parking brake is set. The truck/car is in Park (automatic), Neutral (manual). The ignition is OFF. All doors are closed. The driver's safety belt is un-buckled. The parking and headlights are OFF. Then follow these 9 steps: Turn the ignition switch to ON, but DO NOT START. Wait for the safety belt warning light to go OFF(1-2 minutes). Steps 3-5 MUST be completed within 60 seconds! Buckle, then un-buckle the driver's safety belt 3 times, ending with the belt un-buckled. Turn on the headlights, turn off the headlights. Buckle, then un-buckle the driver's safety belt 3 times, ending with the belt un-buckled. After step 5, the Safety Belt Warning Light will be turned on for 3 seconds. Within 7 seconds of the safety belt warning light turning OFF, buckle then un-buckle the safety belt. This will disable the Belt Minder if it is currently enabled, or enable the Belt Minder if it is currently disabled. Confirmation of the disabling of the Belt Minder is provided by flashing the safety belt warning light 4 times per seconds for 3 seconds. Confirmation of the enabling of the Belt Minder is provided by flashing the safety belt warning light 4 times per seconds for 3 seconds, followed by 3 seconds with the safety belt light off, then followed by flashing the safety belt light 4 times per second for 3 seconds again. After confirmation, the deactivation/activation of the Belt Minder procedure is complete
