    Looking at an '03 Suburban. Couple questions for you guys...

    Yeah, BMW maintenance isn't fun...but to pay a shop for parts and labor? No thanks, I'll take my chances. I did a lot of work to that damn thing...even rebuilt the transmission valve body after being told by a shop that I needed a new $6000 transmission. Googled the issue, found what I...

    Looking at an '03 Suburban. Couple questions for you guys...

    I spent all day doing my research, and buying parts. I'm confident I can tackle this. Hell, I did the intake manifold on my old '93 740il. Just by looking under the hood of the Suburban, it looks like a cakewalk in comparison. I got everything I need for about $150. I assume any...

    Yeah, I've been reading up on the knock sensor issue. I'll order the parts and tackle it next weekend.

    Looking at an '03 Suburban. Couple questions for you guys...

    Okay, so I bought it, and gave him the $7500 asking price. I checked KBB and figured it was a fair price. In fact, after calling him the first time, I noticed that he re-listed it for $8400. I ordered the replacement buttons for the radio, as well as a keyless entry remote. As I was driving...

    Looking at an '03 Suburban. Couple questions for you guys...

    I currently have a 96 Yukon, so I lurk a lot in the OBS section of the site. Oh, and yeah, I know this isn't a Suburban forum, but...close enough. So, the vehicle is a '03 Suburban LT. 150k. Most of the bells and whistles, and it's going for $7500. The good: -Paint is in...

    Strong coolant smell coming from engine compartment.

    Hey guys, after driving my 96 Yukon the other day, I noticed a strong odor of coolant after walking by the front of the vehicle. I popped the hood, checked the upper and lower radiator hoses, and anywhere else in the engine compartment that deals with coolant and didn't see anything. The...

    up and down temp.

    Wouldn't the ECU get the temperature from the same place, though? ---------- Post added at 12:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:48 AM ---------- ...nevermind, I was reading 2K6TBSS response.

    Riddle me this! (re: rear wiper switch)

    That site is HARD to use. I finally found it though.

    Hey Guys. New member here.

    I'm seriously thinking about getting a set of these off eBay...they're cheap, and I think they'll look good. I've never seen them on our body style before, though. Do you know of any pics with them installed...

    Riddle me this! (re: rear wiper switch)

    Sweet! Yeah, I have the trim piece. As long as the switch is intact with the washer button, I can make it work. Thanks, I'll send you a PM now.

    Riddle me this! (re: rear wiper switch)

    Okay, so my rear wiper switch gave up on life about 6 months ago. I currently have it rigged (read: carefully placed back together) in a fashion that allows me to turn it on and off. I have, however, ZERO washer functionality, and the thing will not park itself. It just stops in whatever...

    Hey Guys. New member here.

    Great, now you've got me thinking all kinds of crazy. The paint is REALLY dirty in some parts of the truck as well. What kind of buffer/power tool should I buy that would work both with the eraser wheel, and polishing pads?
  17. NorCalBryan

    Hey Guys. New member here.

    Wow, thanks for the info. My only other concern would be that the rest of the paint on the vehicle has faded...but I guess with white, it won't be much of a difference

    Hey Guys. New member here.

    Are there any holes behind the black trim pieces on the doors? I'd love to remove them, but I don't want to have to do any body work.

    Hey Guys. New member here.

    Ummm, I just used the img tags, I wasn't trying to link them, just display them in the message. They work now, but they didn't work this morning. Can you see the pics?

    Hey Guys. New member here.

    Damnit, my pics are showing up as broken links for me. Is anyone else having that problem?

    Hey Guys. New member here.

    Okay, I washed her today...and, as promised, here are the pics. Just your run-of-the-mill 96 Yukon. I'm not particularly fond of the wheels, they were there when I bought it. I'd really like to find some late model GMC wheels.

    Hey Guys. New member here.

    Okay, somebody help me out with the terminology here...I see NBS, and OBS, and all that. I believe you're referring to the different generations of trucks, but I can't wrap my head around what the acronym stands for.

    Hey Guys. New member here.

    Thanks for the warm welcome. I plan to give the Yukon a bath today, I'll try to post up some pics when finished.
