1996 suburban starting troubles

[tatermom]

I have a 96 suburban. I drive it around town or on interstate for 30 mins or more. When I stop and shut it off, it will not start again for 10-20 mins. It's like it needs to cool off or something. This is extremely worse during summertime, after I use the air conditioning. The gauges show no different readings. It will not crank, turn over or nothing. No sound from fuel pump or anything. All lights and normal stuff work, just silence. New battery by the way. HELP PLEASE

What engine?
Any codes or check engine lights?

You need to test for lose of spark and proper fuel pressure when no start.
Post back what it is losing.

Take a look at the battery connections and see if they are tight, then check the wires at the starter. You may have to take apart the positive battery post connection and clean corrosion out from between the two parts

this is usually the fuseable links...these devices in the wiring usually at /near the starter when old and get heated become resistors and then loss of power to the starter/other componets..

The engine is 5.7L. No codes or engine lights come on by the way. The battery cables and connections have no corrosion, but possible bad connection because of two hot wires that run from battery to the starter and the other half goes to a fuse box or something? Not sure. The starter does seem to be hotter than normal says my husband. will let you know what test results are.
