GMC Suburban

To remove the fuel strainer from the fuel pump on a 1992 Suburban, first, relieve the fuel system pressure by removing the fuel pump relay and starting the engine until it stalls. Next, disconnect the fuel lines from the pump, then remove the mounting bolts securing the pump to the fuel tank. The strainer can then be pulled off the pump; it may require a gentle twist to detach it. Replace it with a new strainer before reassembling the pump and reconnecting the lines.

AF spanners, or adjustable flat spanners, typically have a flat, elongated shape with a jaw that can be adjusted to fit various sizes of nuts and bolts. They usually feature a smooth, straight handle for grip and a movable jaw on one end, allowing for versatility in tightening or loosening fasteners. The spanner is often made of chrome vanadium or other durable metals, with a polished finish for corrosion resistance.

If the front blower on your 1999 GMC Suburban has stopped working, the issue could be related to a blown fuse, a faulty blower motor resistor, or a malfunctioning blower motor itself. Start by checking the fuse associated with the blower motor; if it's blown, replacing it may solve the problem. If the fuse is intact, test the blower motor and resistor for functionality. If both components are operational, the issue may lie with the vehicle's climate control system or wiring.

In a 1999 GMC Suburban, the starter is located on the driver's side of the engine, mounted to the transmission bell housing. It is positioned near the bottom of the engine, making it somewhat accessible from underneath the vehicle. To replace or inspect the starter, it's often necessary to lift the vehicle for better access.

A Suburban that runs for a while and then shuts off could be experiencing several issues. Common causes include overheating due to a faulty thermostat, fuel delivery problems such as a clogged fuel filter or failing fuel pump, or electrical issues like a bad ignition coil. Additionally, a malfunctioning sensor, such as the crankshaft or camshaft position sensor, could cause the engine to stall unexpectedly. It's important to diagnose the specific issue through troubleshooting to identify the exact cause.

Oh, dude, can an 8-cylinder run on 7 cylinders? Sure, it can technically run, but it's not gonna be winning any races, that's for sure. It's like trying to run a marathon with one shoe on. So yeah, it can limp along, but it's definitely not ideal.

For most GM truck brake light switches, look under the dash, directly above the brake pedal. Just pull the connectors and back off the screw or nut, whichever is used. Stupid GM has steering wheel brackets in the way-that is why they went bankrupt- stupid engineers& management

deopends if you can do it yourself, you can buy one online for 50$ and put it in yourself, but be forewarned when you drop your gas tank you may have to replace the straps holding it up because they will probably be rusted so badly they break, although you can take this as an opportunity to drain out your gas tank, which is recommended by the manufacturer to do every year. but if you have it done professionally it can get quite costly, my friend had to pay 800$ for the pump to be replaced on his 1998 silverado

GO TO YOUR LOCAL LIBRARY THEY HAVE ALL THIS AT A COST OF 25 CENTS PER PAGE, SAVES ALOT ON BUYING OVERPRICED BOOKS.

It depends entirely on the condition of your engine. If the bearings are in good condition, use a lighter weight oil (lower numbers). If the bearings are getting a little worn, use a thicker weight oil (HIGHER numbers). Watch the oil pressure gauge. If, after the engine warms, the oil pressure starts to drop to near zero during idle, use a thicker oil. If the oil pressure stays up when the engine is warm and idling, you might be able to use a lighter grade oil. As related to the brand, use whatever has been running in the engine in the past, so long as it's a respected brand with the SAE certifications.

I suppose you could wire your fuel pump directly to the keyed side of the fuse box.

Hold in the minute and hour buttons for several seconds. The time will start to change. Do this until your desired time is reached.

Adjust the striker plates.

I have a 1996 Sub. The doors do not close as easily as they once did. Adjusting the striker plates is one way to fix it but in my case it would not help. One the suburban door hinges are two pins. There are small metal sleeves with slightly different diameters for the top and the bottom. It is those sleeves and hinge pins that have caused my door to become loose. The fix is to repalce the pins and sleeves. About 12.00 per hinge. You have to be careful becasue there is a spring on the hinge and the door is very heavy for a one person job. I

There are just some simple things that your average person just can not do. this is one of them. saying that just makes you want to prove me wrong. so my question is, if your not smart enough to figure out your problem why are you suddenly able to correct it.-give up now before you make things worse. (well maybe just hit your latch pin with a hammer and get on with your life). what do i care what i say nobody listens to me anyway

You have one of these two

Suburban - 1/2 ton 1987-1992 TH700-R4/4L60

Suburban - 3/4 ton 1987-1990 TH400/3L80

Wish to confirm see link below.

Hope This Helps.

Check your steering coloumn. If it is factory and does NOT have the overdrive(the D outlined) then you probably have the TH400. You can also tell by the shape of the transmission pan and sometimes the pan has either a code or the actual "TH400" or "TH700-R4" stamped on it. Get underneath with a cameraphone and take a pic and go to the auto parts store or dealership.

A bearing that has gone bad. A universal joint that has worn out allows play in the differential gear.

Chevrolet does not use inertia/reset switches.

The cooling system bleed valve, on your General Motors 5.7 liter engine, is located on the bottom of the radiator. The bleed valve should be in the middle of the radiator bottom.

When making fixes or changes to a car, having a diagram can help that things are being done correctly. A diagram of a 1976 GMC Sierra Classic can be found in the maintenance manual of the car.

if you replacing them you a cutting torch and bubn then out or get the spring hot enough to let the bushing be hammered out

try replacing the radiator cap, because it has a pressure release valve that can stick or take out your thermostat altogether, sometimes it runs better without it in the summer only. . HOW IS THE CONDITON OF THE RADIATOR? THERE COULD BE SOME CROSS TUBES THAT ARE CLOGED UP TOWARD THE BOTTOM THAT CAN NOT BEE SEEN. I TEST THIS BY PLACING MY HAND ON THE FACE OF THE RADIATOR AND TRY TO FIND COOL SPOTS.

It should be a 5.7L 350 If it's factory.

If you don't know how to change a water pump on a 350 chevy, refer to those instructions for the basics.

In addition, what makes this job a real pain is you have to remove the timing cover, which involves removing some of the accessory bracketry depending on your accessories. There are bolts attaching the water pump that are attached from the back of the cover. By my memory, I believe that there are 4. The number is irrelevent, however.

I've done this job once already and it looks like I have to do the job again on a different motor.

It will be handy during reassembly to have a helper to help position the timiing cover when reattaching as it is rather awkward to get into position. When I do it again, I'm going to have somebody hold the plate from the top with the permatex applied so I can line it up from the bottom and start the first couple of bolts.

FYI, the reason I stumbled onto this is I'm looking to see if I can get a military version of the water pump that may have a higher flow. I don't want to do this job twice and now I'm using my suburban for towing my camper 700 miles twice a year with some hill climbs so I could use the extra flow but don't want to convert to the serpentine system. I just added that so that maybe you could do a little checking for yourself. You don't want to change the pump twice, but if it was working good for you before, then a new one should work fine as well.

Another thing to consider given the pain this job is that a new one is only about another 30 bucks more the last time I checked.

suburban is the area tht surounds/ is near a city. urban means an actual city. and then like rural is country side
