I called my local dealer on the part, but Chevrolet doesn't list it!? I am currently waiting to hear back from them to see if they can at least get me the dimensions of the o-ring so I can get it somewhere else. Does anybody have any idea what size this o-ring is?

The low beams work fine but when I try to switch on the high beams, all the headlights go out. Kinda scary when you're riding down a country road at night. It happened intermittently at first and now all I can use is the low beams. I've got the steering wheel off and the instrument cluster cover out of the way to work on any switches. Sometimes I have to wiggle the headlight switch to get my dash lights to come on.

They noticed right front diff. axle seal leaking. They replaced seal.

First time on snow, I put it in 4High and front diff. sounded like it was in 4LO. deep whining and when you turned steering wheel, while driving slowly, it would start to bind up and shutter.

Tried to back out of a parking space and had steering wheel cranked all the way over. Suburban wouldn't move until wheel was straightened.

They indicated that they filled diff. up .

Any ideas of how they screwed it up?

Are there shims / spacers that they might not have replaced?

1) Is it ok to drive with this light on?

2) What is the cause of the light being on?

3) About how much would the repair be?

4) Could it be one easily by someone that is not a certified mechanic but good with tools and hands? Is in construction field, if that tells you anything.

5) Does it have to be repaired for safety?

Neither one of us is working, so if this is something we can do ourselves, the better.

After a trip my Sub sat out overnight and the next day it flat wouldn't start. Thought maybe I ran down the battery somehow, got a jump, and drove the trip back no prob. Sub sat for 2 days, then my wife took it around town. Was slow starting on her last stop but made it home. Very next day we go to take it and again it's too dead to start. Jump it and now I get the warning message listed in my title. Drive it like this and the voltmeter is showing 14-15V so it's not anything but the battery that I can tell. Also, the rig started just fine after sitting in the cold all that night and the message went away.

My question is, is there anything other than the alternator that can affect how the battery is charged? This rig has so many FREDs that I'm worried there might be. I assume it's the battery with a bad cell, but you can't buy aftermarket yet and I assume the dealer will nail me for $200+ for one. ]]> Suburban Siouxicide http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=969328 http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=969178&goto=newpost Fri, 30 Oct 2009 04:32:21 GMT My 99 Suburban 1500 139,000 had the black ice feel often mentioned in threads when turning, it is a scary feeling when it jerks.

My son is a new driver and drives the truck like this. I am nervous about replacing the EVO because I dont want the new one to go bad while he is driving. I know I have posted several threads about small things wrong with my Suburban (We have a love hate relationship). I am concerned about this due to my son driving. Should I replace it?

Yes I read the OM (Owners manual)
I have the 3 LED's and followed the directions, FAIL.
I did erase the old codes from prev, owner, I believe, followed the instr. for that

• Press 2 outside buttons 20 sec
• press "Learn" button on opener
• Press button in truck
• Hold till opens

Nothing, I tried to program each of the 3 buttons, nothing. I tried holding the controller near the truck button, nothing.

Any thoughts??? I really want this back so my wife can give me back my remote. My Neon is not this fancy to have self opening buttons :icon16:
