| I have had my 94 burb just over a year. Within the 1st couple months I had to replace the master cylinder. Less than a year later I am told that I need to replace the master cylinder again. Is this normal???? I also replace the brake line. But still having problems with the brakes. Thanks for your help | |

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

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) 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. |

We have an 04 Suburban,a nd we're looking to trade it in. We'd like a new one, but it might be too pricey. Does anyone have any ideas of a replacement vehicle that might be less expensive without a huge dropoff in space and cargo room? We're thinking about the new Chevy Traverse, but we're not sure. Our Suburban has about 60,000 miles, and is out of the warranty. That's wht makes us nervous. Thanks so much for any and all advice.
