#909 of 944 Re: Wanting to replace our Suburban [sbatncpl] by kiawah Jan 28, 2009 (4:17 pm)
Replying to: sbatncpl (Jan 28, 2009 4:01 pm) I had similar situation over a year ago, went from a 97 to an 07.   My observations: ride is substantially nicer, less interior space, many more creature comforts and technology improvements, smaller gas tank (loved the old 42 gallon drive a whole vacation day tank).   I like you, will have (I need to tow or travel) a Suburban for years to come.   Did I "need" to upgrade, no. Could I have gone another couple of years without it, probably (nothing major wrong). Do I feel like I made the right decision a year ago, yes.

Replying to: sbatncpl (Jan 28, 2009 4:01 pm) Mine is a 1995 model with only 95,000 miles. Excellent shape, kept in the garage and everything works. ____________________________________________________________________ Don't even think about trading for one of the later models. Keep driving your '95 until you use it up....then upgrade. You won't be sorry.

Replying to: sbatncpl (Jan 28, 2009 4:01 pm) If you want new, I'd get an 09 with the six-speed transmission. If you want used, wait another year or two and pick up a used 09. That's one significant upgrade that I think is worth either paying for or waiting for. Replies to this message: murphy4 (Mar 10, 2009 2:07 pm)

#913 of 944 99 suburban 1500 transfer case leak by geodoc Feb 28, 2009 (9:53 am)
developed a transfer case leak 120k due to oil pump flange induced design defect (like msg# 49/377). i have a gravel drive and didn't detect leakage until i heard gear noise (alas, too late!) and internal components were fried. looking for a way to avoid same at 240k. is it possible to beef up this area of case with a weld or other? also looking for source for reliable taillight bulb receptacles, as i've had lots of trouble here

Replying to: ahightower (Jan 29, 2009 4:36 pm) Has anyone leased a 2009 Suburban in the last few months? Are there any competaative lease rate in the market now?
#915 of 944 Re: traction off / ABS lights are on [markanag] by kslrr Mar 30, 2009 (3:08 am)
Replying to: markanag (Sep 26, 2005 6:59 pm) Hello. New to the forum. I might have another reason for an indicated "sensor failure", especially if accompanied by noises from the front: Wheel bearing failure to point that the Center line of the wheel is no longer perpendicular to the Spindle, which would screw with the speed sensor gap. I will post what I find.   Fortunately for me, the bearings started to make the awful noise only 10 miles from home (Perris, CA) this morning just as I started my 245 mile trip to Las Vegas, where I work.

Replying to: kslrr (Mar 30, 2009 3:08 am) Ok, I did find that the front bearings were failing. Especially the right which sounded like a coffee grinder and the play was at least 1/8 inch.

Replying to: ozzman38 (Jun 06, 2009 2:50 pm) Could be a blown head gasket caused problem.   But if the oil stick is all rusty when you pull it out, you'll need a new engine. Sounds like the vehicle is a good candidate for the crusher.   Run, don't walk. Replies to this message: ozzman38 (Jun 07, 2009 12:50 pm) kiawah (Jun 07, 2009 4:36 pm)
