#887 of 944 Re: location of fuel filter - '99 Suburban [leigh2] by cdhpc2 Jan 11, 2009 (5:00 pm)
Replying to: leigh2 (Feb 13, 2006 11:53 am) The fuel filter is clamped to the frame on the driver's side about midway (silver canister). Before replacing, release the pressure on the fuel line by depressing a schrader valve on the fuel line under the hood. Make sure the engine ic COLD before you do this, as some fuel make come out.   CH

#889 of 944 99 hesitation by cdhpc2 Jan 11, 2009 (5:22 pm)
Our 99 gas suburban has started having real bad hesitation when it is cold. After a couple of miles, it stops. The computer says that an O2 sensor is out, but they don't tell me which one (there are 4). In reading about the O2 sensor operation, I don't think it would cause the hesitation, but I am not sure. I think I have 20K or so on the plugs and the wires. Any ideas ? TIA   CH Replies to this message: kiawah (Jan 11, 2009 5:28 pm)

Replying to: cdhpc2 (Jan 11, 2009 5:22 pm) The error code will tell you which O2 sensor, usually decipers to bank x, sensor y.   x = 1, is the bank with the cylinder=1 x = 2, is the other cylinder   y = 1, is the first sensor, before the cat converter y = 2, is the second sensor, after the cat converter
#891 of 944 Thinking of a Suburban. by murphy4 Jan 11, 2009 (8:00 pm)
We have 3 small boys, a dog and seem to always have a bunch of gear on trips. We have never been SUV people, always foreign wagons. We rented a Suburban last summer on a trip and I love it. The gas mileage was better than expected, managing the right foot and the cylinder de activation on the highway makes a huge difference.    Now our lease on our volvo wagon is close to coming to an end. I am thinking Suburban/Yukon XL. What should we truly be paying? Is a 2009 better than a 2008? The 2009 do have the 6 speed, that has to help highway miles.    Any advice to a SUV rookie would be appreciated.

Replying to: murphy4 (Jan 11, 2009 8:00 pm) Had our first Suburban 10 years, on the 2nd one now, upgraded just to get the newer style and technology.   Suburban vs.Yukon/XL, is basically trim levels and logo. Just cross shop to compare.   Seat selection is important, buckets vs. bench. You'll get as many people for one way vs. the other. Personally, we prefer the benches for two reasons. Firstly when we travel on trips, each of my girls gets a row and they lay across the seat, with pillows propped up when they want to sit. Makes for a very comfortable travel setup, able to travel great distances in comfort. Secondly, when you're hauling the kids and their friends, or family, or whomever, it's nice to be able to seat 8. I'm sure others will prefer the buckets for their own set of reasons.   Having all of the storage space in the 'way back' for vacation suitcases and mantoys, is also key.   There's a couple nice features that I didn't want to buy but came with my trim package (LTZ), and now that I've had them I like them: - electric tilt in mirrors. You push a button and the outside mirrors pivot inwards, so you can pull into the garage without scraping the mirrors. Also good to use in tight parking situations in parking lots, makes it easier for people to walk buy, or cars to get by without clipping your mirrors. - auto-leveling shocks. The weight that the vehicle carries in my case varies widely. I could be pulling a trailer one day, driving empty myself the next, and 8 people with luggage and bikes hanging off the back the following day. This feature keeps the vehicle level no matter which load I'm carrying.   My girls are heading into the college era soon, so I'm sure it will come in handy hauling their 'stuff' back and forth. It's a great family vehicle, very practical and versatile, assuming you have a place where you can park it.
