Had the same problem in my tahoe. What you are hearing is caused by coolant and water leaking into your cylinder. The rattle can sometimes sound like it is coming from under the truck, but it is under the hood, I can guarantee.
 
I had mine in the shop more times than I can count trying to figure it out. It would stop after warming up a bit, but eventually would not stop at all. Only reason I found out was I started to notice a coolant smell coming from exhaust. Pulled off intake and sure enough, bad leak. Once repaired, never had noise and later talked to a mechanic at local garage, one I didn't go to, that said he has had a few come in like that that he repaired and fixed the problem. Good luck and I hope this helped.

brake warning light in dashboard came on by charlieswife

i just drove my 2001 Suburban for like 15 minutes, and then suddenly the warning light for the brakes came on and stayed on. I didn't feel anything different with the brakes, what does the light mean? My husband is deployed and I don't know what to do. I am not really familiar with this town, so any help is welcome.
Thank you.

Brake light could mean a few things. No matter what though, brake problems are never anything to avoid or ignore. Usually, that light means a warning that brake pressure is low and/or brake fluid is low. There are secondary pop fillers under cyclinder cap to take up gap of missing fluid temporarily. This may be why brakes don't feel different, but they soon may fail. There is also the possibility that your parking brake may be activated. If you even lightly press on it, one locking click down will kick on light.
 
First thing I would try is to pull the parking brake release lever under dash. On tahoes, it is directly under dash below the turn signal. If that does not work, I would recommend taking it to a brake shop for inspection. Tell them that you are getting quotes to have brakes repaired and that you are not paying anything till you have a few quotes to find the best price. This might help in saving money by shops not just throwing an outrageous price at you, if they think you are getting quotes from other shops. Most of the time, they will look at it for free and hopefully have you on your way.
 
I would do something pretty quick though, just in case you have a small leak.
Hope this helped and good luck.

Transmission by e_mcgee

I own a 95 Tahoe, 4WD, and lately when I accelerate to get up to speed on the freeway, or am going up a hill, the transmission kicks back and jerks. Sometimes it can work through it, other times it keeps going, and you have to lay off the gas and take it slow. I am hoping that it does not need a new transmission! Does anyone know what may be causing it? Is there a part that i may be able to swap on the trans instead of getting a new one?
 
Thanks....

Suburban Tire Chains by homemech
Nov 11, 2008 (10:58 am)
Reply
I have a 2000 1500 Suburban, 4WD, with P265/70R-16 wheels and tires. The manual says to not use chains because of clearance problems. Has anyone successfully used tire chains on their Suburban with these wheels and tires? The tire chains I have looked at have rubber or cable tighteners that keep the chain tight to the wheel. Thanks.
