#30 of 36 Re: Rubbing Noise when cold [pdbtx] by jaxkool Apr 06, 2009 (6:04 pm)
Replying to: pdbtx (Apr 06, 2009 5:51 pm) Hello all - our 2002 2WD 1500 (91,000 miles) had warn-out U-joints. The car made noise only in reverse, sounded like rubber/metal squeeking together. It was under $400 for parts/labor to have this repaired. It feels brand-new. Hope this helps. Replies to this message: pdbtx (Apr 08, 2009 8:37 pm)

Replying to: jaxkool (Apr 06, 2009 6:04 pm) Jaxkool - you were exactly right, I took it in to the Chevy dealers today and they replaced the prop shaft U-joints. Just over $300, sounds and feels perfect now. Many thanks.      pdbtx
#32 of 36 brake fade question by chevygolfguy May 17, 2009 (9:48 pm)
I have an 08 Suburban 1500 and after some driving in the smokies for about 50 miles the steering wheel started to shake on braking and a slight noise sounded like a mack truck gearing down to a stop (only not as loud) I didnt' think i rode the brakes that hard. I have had other Suburans on that same trip and same conditions and never experienced it with any of them The truck 25,000 miles on it   Any ideas as to what was going on what to do about it?

Replying to: chevygolfguy (May 17, 2009 9:48 pm) Sounds like the heat has warped the front rotor(s). That is a lot of weight to slow on those hills, similar problem happened to me on the east coast mountains in my older Sub a number of years ago . This will give you pulsation when braking, can be felt in the brake pedal and sometimes the steering wheel. Look for Bendix rotors to replace them with, don't go cheap or you'll have the same problem again. Replies to this message: chevygolfguy (May 18, 2009 7:00 pm) kiawah (May 18, 2009 7:58 pm)

Replying to: kiawah (May 18, 2009 3:21 am) thanks for the response. The vehicle is still under warranty. Do you know if this something GM will take care of under warranty? Replies to this message: kiawah (May 18, 2009 7:58 pm)

Replying to: chevygolfguy (May 18, 2009 7:00 pm) Usually not, brakes are normal wear items.
#36 of 36 Radio goes off and on by itself by jtbahasty May 23, 2009 (6:38 am)
I have a 2007 Suburban. I have had it for 11 months. I love it and have had no problems with it. About a month ago, the radio started going off and on by itself as I was driving down the road. Several times it dings and tells me that the seatbelt in the passenger seat needs to be fastened, but no one or nothing is in the passenger seat. The stability message has also come up several times, too. Three times it has not cranked, and left me stranded. The dealership has changed the BCM and said that it was the problem, but it has now stranded me again. I know that it is an electrical problem and not a battery problem. Has anyone had these problems or heard of it?? HELP!!
