Why doesn't your 1999 GM Suburban transmission shift into a higher gear than 1st 2nd and reverse?

I am not a mechanic so I cannot attest to having the right answer to your problem here.

However, since I just recently was suffering the same symptoms with my 99 K1500 that you are, I can tell you what the cause was in my case:

The problem was the 3rd & 4th gear pack clutches were completely trashed. In fact, when we took the 60 transmission out of the vehicle, there were more than 26 different components within it that were actually broken/cracked.

By the time my transmission guy completed the construction and installation of an Allison 80 (3/4 ton) tranny in the vehicle, I was out some $6K.

I hope this is not the case for you but from the sound of things, its not good.

Best of luck...

Is there an internal fuel pump on a 98 suburban 2500?

Why yes there is...

I have this beast of a vehicle and just last fall had to replace the very item you are asking about.

It is in the fuel tank. Cost me about $300.00 for the pump and a few hours to lower the tank (empty it first!), R & R the pump and raise it back up in place.

You might also consider blowing out the fuel lines and then replacing the fuel filter as well.

I have the service manual for these vehicles. If you need more specifics, drop me a note, off line.

Regards!

How do you drain a radiator on a 1999 Chevy Suburban?

Plugged ac line on a 1997 suburban?

The likely place is at the orifice tube/screen. This is where the pressures change as well as the temperature. The location of this is not too familiar to me though. But if you follow the line that comes out of your condensing coil (radiator thing in the front) toward the firewall you should be able to see the connection where it goes. The older models put it right at the entry of the evaporator (cold coil) at the firewall. But some are at the front of the radiator immediately after coming out of the condenser. If there is a restriction it will be really cold. Like freezing. You can purchase a new screen for about .99 cents but you have to figure out what clogged it up. Something is going wrong that caused it. Whether it's your compressor or you accumulator/filter. This could lead to worse problems if you don't locate the cause.

Are cv joints turning on a 4 wheel drive but in 2 wheel drive?

The Answer is Yes! The CV joints are connected to each of the front axles! (some SUVs and 4wd or AWD vehicles also have rear CV joints as they have rear axle shafts). These joints exist to allow each axle to pivot along with either the vehicles suspension and/or its steering axis. Each Axle has 2 CV joints, an inner (located at the end of the shaft closest to the front/rear differential and 1 outer joint located just behind the front/rear spindles on the inside of both front/rear inner wheel wells. They can be easily identified by a round tapered rubber black boot that houses the joints! Most commonly these rubber boots dry out and break overtime due to everyday driving! When this happens the bearing grease inside the boot gets ejected due to centrifugal force, in other cases the grease become old, thins out, and can no longer properly lubricate the bearings. The joints consist of large bearings and a bearing racer that holds the bearings in place and the joints come together via usually a snap ring! Whether in 2WD or 4WD the CV Joints at which these axle shafts are connected to are in constant motion with the vehicle. On my Suburban a 97' K1500, the 4WD system is activated by an actuator which pushes a rod to lock the ring gears inside the differential together, when I push the button to engage the 4WD. To Keep it simple the front/rear axles which again the CV joints are connected to,, are always in motion with the vehicle as the axles themselves are directly connected to the front/rear wheels! :) Hope that helps your question!

How do you drain the gas tank on a 1992 Chevy G20 van?

i dont know on that specific van but i can give u my general knowldege if you can get under there and see the gas tank there may be a valve you can open other than that i would take the gas line off and open the gas cap. I just did this as I was changing the fuel pump. There is no drain valve, but simply get under the car, disconnect the fillerneck hose where it enters the gas tank (it's attached with a hose clamp), then use a hose and a pump to drain the tank. It's easier to do it this way as you won't have to fight the kinks and bends in the filler neck when trying to get the hose in.

How can you tell if antifreeze leak is caused by the water pump?

I am sure you have a v8 engine----if so the water pump weep hole will leak antifreeze and show up running down the lower rad hose on the water pump side ---of course there are other places antifreeze can leak at the front of the engine such as the water pump mounting gasket----the lower left (drivers side) p ump mounting bolt---as it enters the water jacket--- the timing caver gasket and the intake manifold gasket but the pump is the most likely place
