1987 Suburban Engine Upgrade

In short she has an excellent body but 240k mile and is a 3/4 ton 2x4 with a 350cc 5.7 F/I in her so she is getting tired. Maintenace and repairs (and gas) will only nickel and dime me so i was considering upgrading to a vortec 5.7/6.0 Is this even an applicable option? If so what would be a good year engine to search for and if not what are my options? She doesn't smoke runs well on the freeway however tends to foul out plugs quickly and tends to miss a lot on acceleration and i doubt that i am running on all 8 cylinders.

1992 Suburban Drive Train & Driveline Malfunction

When accelerating the automatic transmission will not shift from second to third until the tach is at 4000 rpms. The shift from third to forth is normal then it won't shift into OD. I've changed the fluid and filter. The fluid looked fine it was still red and didn't smell burnt at all.

1989 Suburban Drive Train & Driveline Vibration

Hello,
I have had my rear end rebuilt, the torque converter replaced along with the flywheel and a new drive shaft installed (I don't know much about the new drive shaft except my mechanic says it's straight as an arrow).
Problem: From 0 to about 35/40mph the ride is fine; at 40 to about 55 it vibrates; from about 57 to nearly 65 it's the smoothest ride of all; from then on the vibrations increase with the most at 75 plus mph. The vivrations are felt in my rear end and seem "harmonic" or wave like.

What do you think it is--do these Chevy suburbans have this kind of problem? I just want to go fishing but I can't drive the freeway.

1993 Suburban Heating & Cooling System Malfunction

1994 Suburban Engine Hesitating

I have a 454 engine that has a miss. The rpm gauge jumps up and down. I have replaced spark plugs, spark plug wires, fuel pump, fuel filter, distributor cap & rotor, did compression check, checked egr & pcv valve. The engine light does not come on. The engine just has a miss during idle and at cruising speed. It seems like it is an electrical problem but I don't know where to go from here?

1993 Suburban Ignition System Won't Start

The key will turn and all dash board lights come on (radio and lights work). However, there is no sound (clicking) from the starter. Battery is good and assume alternator is good. could the wiring to the starter or the starter itself be bad?

1994 Suburban Electrical & Lighting Systems Overheating

(fuse) breaker: I believe this fuse operates the powerseat, powerdoors, powersmirrors.Its breaks and get hot and sparks when I plug it in the fuse box.
What do you think the problem is and how can I find it or trouble shoot to repair.

every once in awhile, when you start off, usually when cold, It will satrt off in 2nd gear, and stay there. It will not shift into any other gear. When you get up to 40-50, and you let off, its like its in neutral untill you accellerate and the engine RPM catches up. This has happened several times in the past few months. You let it sit for 5-10 min, it then works like normal!!

1996 Suburban Engine Other

I bought this vehicle last week. It is difficult to start. You have to depress the accelerator pedal and then it starts. There are no codes showing up.

1996 Suburban Electrical & Lighting Systems Stalling

Has 132, 000 miles on it. Recently started exhibiting random intermittent total electrical failure. Door locks/ignition/starter/interior/headlights are all inop - noise like a clicking relay coming from under dash after attempting to start, continues after ignition turned off and key removed. Has happened when first trying to start in the morning, also has caused repeated stall-outs when pulling into a parking lot after a problem-free 1 hr drive. Problem disappears as suddenly as it appeared - often in minutes. Truck is our 3rd vehicle and often goes for a week or more without being driven.

1997 Suburban Drive Train & Driveline Malfunction

recently while driving in 4x4 high i noticed it quit working. i initially checked the fuse panel and noticed the 25 amp fuse was blown. i replaced it and immediatly upon shifting to 4x4 it blew again. i did this twice. i have checked the fluid levels and connections on the transfer case. this is a push button shift on the dash. the truck will go in low range but only the rear drive shaft engages. i would like to know what is causing this. regards.

1997 Suburban Ignition System Won't Start

The ignition module has went out 2 times in the past 3 months. The first replacement module lasted about 1 week. The second module lasted almost a month. I tried putting in a new module and it still won't start. The engine just turns over with now firing. We tested a spark plug to see if there was spark... and there was. Could it be some other part now after all the modules I replaced? Fuel Pump? Anything else? The car was running fine before this latest episode. I felt the module and it was very hot. I had it parked for about 10 minutes and when I came back, nothing.. it wouldn't start. Any suggestions, besides bringing it to a shop?
Thanks
