'89 Sub. rearend problem! by mudrat
Oct 09, 2008 (2:56 pm)
Reply
I have a '89 GMC Sub. , 350ci, 4in. Skyjacker lift, 4.10s front and back. 12 bolt in back and 10 bolt in front. The lift, the gears and the axles have been under the truck for almost 35k miles. Detroit locker in rear. At least it did. It just blew out. The entire axle casing is shot. It blew out thru the cover and the bottom of the housing. Looks like the locker blew apart. It was not under pressure or off-roading. Just got inspected and going for a test drive. BANG. What rear axle will fit and what will be strong. I do a fair amount of off-roading, but not serious. I also plow snow. Since I'm going to replace the whole axle, what should I use?

96 suburban climate control problems by crjones231

My 96 GMC C1500 2WD Suburban is doing weird things. It has 200,700 miles on it and a dual system climate control. The front AC works fine but the heater does not work (it just blows air). In the back the heater works but the AC does not. This is what I have checked so far in front. Both accurate work, but I don't know if the actual blender damper is working. I have check the fuses, electrical connections, vacuum connection, and water leaks and they all seem to be OK. I think it might be the heater control valve but I'm not sure so, I thought I would ask if anyone else has had this problem before I start throwing money at it. Any thoughts?

by chance did you check to see if you may have a blockage somewhere from water pump heater connection to heater core an sometimes the core can be block to from old coolant, it brakes down in to a solid, had this happen to me. and you have to check both suppy and return hoses for this and if none of these then last thing i say is one of your vaccum doors under dash vent system is not working.and for my problem for all the people out there who have 90 subarbans check wireing main harness i back of engine they have some wires with a tape around the connections that wheres away with time that is one of reasons your engine my run like its out of time or you my be burning rich from to much fuel.

Thanks for responding. I have decided to treat each of these problems as an independent issue. I agree that one of the dampers is not working correctly. I plan to flush the front heater core tomorrow. Why I'm at it I'm going to put an ohm meter on some of the suspicious electrical connection. I'll report my findings as soon as I can.

2000 Suburban - Dome Lights Not Working by mike820

Picked up a clean 2000 Suburban two months ago; 88,000 miles, all is well so far except the interior dome lights will not work. Tried playing around with the "Dome Override" switch with no success. Outside courtesy lights below the sideview mirrors work fine. Checked the bulbs, they are good. Anyone with ideas on this problem?

Drifting to the right by ahightower

Our 2005 GMC Yukon XL is drifting to the right. New tires (Goodyear something-or-other from Wal-Mart), about 1500 miles on them, not showing any uneven wear. All tire pressures are good. Had an alignment done last weekend and they did a small toe adjustment to both front tires to bring it back to mfr. specs. That has helped some, but not completely solved it. The steering wheel must be held about 10 degrees to the left to keep it going straight. What should I check next? Do you suppose having the tires balanced and rotated would help?

check that the bulb isn't burnt out. Put a voltmeter on the contacts, to see if you have 13 volts on the bulb base.

From memory: It's underneath the car, between the driver's and middle seat positions (left side of the car). The connections are compression tube fittings, so I used a 3 sided open end tube wrench. The manual suggests that you relive the pressure in the EFI system first using a special fitting which connects to the system. I always put a rag under the filter when I loosen the first nut. There are 2 small compression washers, one for each fitting, that require replacement with the filter. The filter itself is held in place with a ring bracket loosend with a single bolt. It's pretty simple and quick.
