Q: can anybody tell me how to replace the bulbs in my 02 Chevrolet suburban?
(PARK,DAYTME RUNNING AND TURN SIGNAL BULBS)

A: The headlamps come out with 2 pull pins on each lamp assembly. The lower unit for daytime lamps is held in place by a plastic snap clip (the clip is @ the “far outside” end. If you look real close you can see it, if cold use a screwdriver to “snap” out. NO WRENCHES are necessary for this application! Aside from the cold weather comment.
PS- An 03 may be the first year for the set-up I described, If that doesn’t look like the way let me know & I can tell you exactly how to do it!

Q: how many miles can a 1990 chevrolet suburban run?
im looking at buying a 1990 chevrolet suburban with 195,000 miles on it, would this be a big mistake, or will this last me for a while,

A: Consumer Reports offers no current information on a 1990 Chevrolet Suburban; however, it does offer information on a 1998 Chevrolet Suburban.

CR accords the 1998 Chevrolet Suburban 1500 Much Worse Than Average reliability ratings in the following categories:

Engine Major
Engine Cooling
Transmission Major

And Worse Than Average reliability ratings in the following categories:

Drive System
Electrical System
Climate System
Brakes
Power Equipment.

Furthermore, the 1998 Suburban has not one rating above average in any category.

Consequently, if you were purchasing 1998 Chevrolet Suburban, you should check into the availability of a used engine, a used transmission, a used radiator, a used air conditioner, and numerous other used parts from one or more junk dealers. And then, if you don’t have a mechanic friend, check into the cost of having the old parts removed and the used parts put in. This should give you a pretty good idea as to how much “investing” you should prepare yourself for.

Now, when account is taken of the facts (1) that there has likely been a little improvement in quality from 1990 to 1998 and (2) that an 18-year-old vehicle by General Motors vehicle is likely far more troublesome than a 10-year-old GM vehicle, it seems prudent to assume that a 1990 Chevrolet Suburban would receive a Much Worse Than Average reliability rating in every, or nearly every, category rated by Consumer Reports. So, it would likely be wise to hunt up 2 or 3 1990 Chevrolet Suburbans to ensure that you have a moving vehicle a year hence.

For reference and contrast, the 1998 Toyota Land Cruiser has a Much Better Than Average or Better Than Average rating in every category rated by Consumer Reports. Also, AutoOnInfo.net’s reliability and durability studies suggest that a typical GM vehicle at 7 years of age is about as troublesome to own as a typical Toyota vehicle at 33 years of age. Consequently, a Toyota Land Cruiser from the 1980s may be much more reliable and a much better risk, if you plan to purchase just one vehicle.

Both ConsumerReports.org and AutoOnInfo.net are excellent resources for information on reliability, durability, and other quality measures. With regard to information on older vehicles, AutoOnInfo.net is some better and is currently free.

Q: What, if any are the changes that a 2008 Chevrolet Suburban has vs. the 2007 model.?
They look the same but I cant seem to find the differences.

A: There is basically no difference. The only changes at all are two or three new paint colors and the addition of std. side curtain air bags.

Q: Is a 1995 GMC suburban transmisson compatible with a Chevrolet 1996 suburban. Both/4 wheel drive, automatics.?
We have a 1996 Chevrolet suburban that the transmission went out in. Then we bought a 1995 GMC suburban to get the transmission from. It ran so we just drove that awhile. When we went to swap transmissions we were told they are not compatible because of wiring. Both are 4 wheel drive automatics. We were originally told they can be swapped. Where could this information even be found?

A: Try the auto section of a book store, they usually have books that could answer your question.
My first guess is that they should be compatible with no trouble.

Q: waht is the best transmission fluid for a 2002 2wd chevrolet suburban lt?

A: It’s “Dexron 3″ not “DexTron 3″.
If you are looking for a synthetic Transmission fluid, Amsoil is the best!
Not trying to insult anyone but, as a “GM Tech” & an “ASE Certified” mechanic, you should know it’s what I afore mentioned!

I need to connect wires to a new oxygen sensor in chevrolet 2003 suburban 1500?

does anyone know a website that tells me which wire to connect

A: how many wires? 1 or 3? if it’s three then the black wire is a heater and need to be connected tot he black and the white wire is the 02 sensor itself and is connected to the white wire, if the sensor has two white wires and one black then the Connect the two white wires together and hook up the white wire from the harness and black wire will be connected tot he Black on the harness or red wire which is hot, just don’t connect the white wire to any other colored wire. and you can go to http://www.alldata.com to pay to find out, costs $20.00 or ask your local parts store an old timer can tel you.

Q: Power steering failure in chevrolet suburban?
I was drifting in the snow and the car was doing fine. i did one more donut and when i was about to turn left onto a street the steering wheel was incredibaly hard to turn. i didnt hear any weird sounds the wheels just stopped turning. what are the possible problemss with the car?

A: Change the fluid. Just suck out the old and pour in the new. And as far as the brake fluid , I recommend the same at a shop that does “evacuate and fill”. See , thew hydraulic fluid blends real well with water and can ruin the ABS system

Q: how do you remove the headlight assembly for a 2007 chevrolet suburban?

A: I don’t know about the ‘07 Suburban, but Chevrolet seems to be consistent in the way they engineer things, so it may work like my ‘03 S-10 :

1) Open the hood
2) behind the upper cross-member there will be two L-shaped clips behind the headlamp area that simply pull up to release the headlamp assy.
3) Pull the clips up, and remove the headlamp assy
4) reverse the process to re-install – the alignment of the clips will be obvious once you have it out. Headlamps do not require alignment when removed in this manner

Hope this helps… Happy Hunting…!

Q: I have a chevrolet suburban and need some assistance with repairing my transmission and clogged converter.?
k1500 4wd 5.7liter V-8, The converter is clogged and I’m thinking about putting a few holes in the top, and my transmission I want to drop the pan change the gasket and filter and put it back.

A: if by converter, you are talking about the torque converter, DO NOT put any holes in it. the best you can do is remove it from the tranny and have it flushed out by a reputable transmission shoop. but in all honesty, you really should replace it. there is no way of knowing if you there is any internal damage to the converter.

if you are talking about the cat converter on the exhaust, don’t punch holes in the top. these create a lot of heat and you could burn through the heat shield. then the floor pan. if you don’t want or can’t replace it then you need to remove it and either install a pipe yourself ( a shop won’t do it) or punch out the ceramic grid that is inside the converterand reinstall the converter.

Q: Can I remove my knock sensor on my 1994 Chevrolet Suburban? I think it effecting my Throttle Position Sensor.?
My truck has a knock and I don’t know if it is my TPS or my Oxygen sensor. But I have been told that my knock sensor may be effecting my throttle position sensor. I just want to know if I can eliminate my Knock sensor all together. My truck has a knock because of my crankshaft and that is where it is located.

A: No. Neither of these sensors will cause a knock. A bad knock sensor will give you a rattle during hard acceleration. None of the other sensors will cause a knock. A knock in normally a mechanical failure, Rod bearing wrist pin or collapsed piston

Q: The transmission in my 1989 chevrolet suburban will not shift out of first…any suggestions?
The title is pretty self explanatory…if you could i would like it if you told me if we need to check anything or something like that. We noticed the problem and went to a nearby gas station and filled it with tranny fluid. Earlier that day the transmission was working just fine.

A: over fill

Q: I have a ‘92 Chevrolet Suburban that doesn’t want to start?
It stalled out in traffic and hasn’t started since. My guess is the fuel pump but I’d like to hear some suggestions. I all of a sudden smell gas by my carburetor…’Preciate the help.

A: that would be a good pace to start,but also make sure its getting fire to the plugs in it,the control modules was bad to go out in those,and it would shut them off instantly ,kind of like yours is doing,if that’s it it wont start back until its been replaced,good luck on it ,hope this helps.
