I have a 1998 Chevy Suburban. I've fixed several problems with the vehicle and am left with two. First the vehicle starts great when the engine is cold but, the starter cranks very slow when it's warm. Almost like it is working harder to start. I have had the battery tested and replaced the alt..
« First you could have a starter going bad once it gets warm/hot from engine temperature. The other thing that comes to mind is that the timing is set too advanced. You will need to check and see if t.. »
« James, thanks for the heads up on the A/C. I had a partial can of 134a attached to a recharge kit. I just got back in from adding the can and that did it, both front and back are working. I'll l.. »
« Forget looking at timing as it is not the issue here. Sometimes a hot motor can take a lot more power to start than a cold one. Over 30 years ago I had this Chevy Impala SS with a 396 that developed.. »

1998 Chevy Suburban K2500 4x4 454 engine (gas) My suburban has a coolant leak at the upper oil cooler line fitting going into the radiator. There is a stamped tin nut that holds the fitting and leak appears to be coming from around this nut. What is the correct tool for tightening this nut ? I..
« As most others would say there is a crack in the plastic end housing of the radiator, thats why its leaking. You will find tighting the nut does little to cure the leak. A new radiator is the only o.. »
« As a temp fix (and I do mean a Temp fix) you can try to put some JB Weld around it and let it set up. This should stop the leak for a little while, allowing you to get the new rad. »
« Yeah - I suspected that might be the issue. Thanks for the help. »
« If you're talking about the actual steel oil cooler line itself as in where it threads into the rad... They have tiny o rings around a recess in the fitting that end up dry rotting, etc. which caus.. »

I have a 1998 Chevy Suburban K2500 4x4 (7.4L gas) with 117k miles. The radiator developed a crack in the oil cooler tank right beside the upper oil cooler fitting. So, it was time to replace the radiator -- and while I was at it the water pump, thermostat and upper/lower radiator hoses. Befor..

« I tried that (gently) initially with no success. I spent about an hour today trying different wires, screwdrivers, ice pick, etc with no luck. I could get some really small pieces out but nothin.. »

I have a 1998 Chevy Suburban K2500 4x4 7.4L engine (gas) that I am experiencing some of the well documented brake issues. I need to remove the front rotors (warped again) and have a couple of questions that are not addressed in the service manual. 1. Can I remove the wheel studs (carefully) w..
« I recently went through this with my 2000 K3500 which is same body style. The rotor kinda rotted away and came apart while pads were still good. You can punch the studs out as I did but I suggest th.. »
« Thanks for the tips. I had not considered replacing the 4 bolts and the inner seal. I agree - would rather replace some of these parts now and not have to go back in later. »
