98 Suburban Shaking Violently by fuegoman
Aug 19, 2008 (9:11 pm)
Reply
Lately while driving uphill my 98 K1500 starts to shake really bad... it's not the tranny, it was just replaced and then checked again... the mechanic had it happen to him and he seems to think it's not getting fuel... already replaced the fuel pump...
 
To me it feels like the timing is doing something funny, but have replaced the distributor 3 times and its still doing it?
 
Thanks for the help.

I had almost the same problem minus the RPM change. Check under the dash. The ductwork in the center, above the hump, does not match up very well. I took wide seal tape and wrapped the opening. Also, rust right of the hump, a cable comes down to a fin that directs all the air. A clip on mine broke. The deflector did not close completely. Vacuum does control the deflector. So motor vacuum might be part of the problem.

A/C and Heater Porblems.. Please Help. by eric90suburban

I have a 1990 Suburban as I'm sure you can tell by my name. I have had it for a long time and when I got it everything worked fine. Recently the A/C and heater started acting up. They both work if your touching the vent but the fan that blows the hot and cold air out just doesn't work. Is this a common problem? Is it an easy fix? Any ideas for me? Please help me out here.
                  Thanks for you time, Eric

Check the fan resistor bank, it's in the air ductwork under the dash, on the passenger side, by the blower motor. The fan resistor is used to allow the 12volt dc motor to have multiple speeds, and run slower than the full 12volts. The output of the fan squirrel cage typically blows right across the reistors to keep them cool.
 
Follow the wires from the fan motor, they will plug into the resistor bank.

It is probly just a bad fan motor. Easy fix under the dash on the right side by the passanger side. Three nuts and remove from housing and order new one put back in. Unsually comes with the squirrel cage if not remove off old moter and install.

1995 GMC SUB 4x4 will not start by acehi

The problem I'm having, it will start sometimes and at other times it will not turn over at all. The battery and cables are good. The dash has all of its lights. With the head lights turned on while I try to start it, don't even dim. I have changed out the safety neu. switch at the tranny (advice from a friend), it help so I thought for about a month. Today I went out to start it and its back to the same old problem, turn the key and nothing happens. What do I need to do to fix it. I'm pretty good at turning a wrench. Thanks for you help. Tony

May be a solenoid/starter problem.
 
To avoid just throwing parts at this problem, I would hang a fused test lead off of the starter solenoid (the power coming from ignition switch), to see if the solenoid is being told to engage.
 
If you are experiencing the problem, and you turn the ignition switch and see power going to the solenoid, and the solenoid doesn't engage and turn the engine...then you've proved it's a solenoid/starter problem.
 
If on the other hand, you have no power being supplied, then you know the problem is 'upstream' of the starter, for instance possibly the ignition switch itself.
