    Total loss of electrical power while driving

    Update - The mechanic did a voltage drop test on the cables - all good, the alternator is good, the battery is good, he removed multiple grounds/cleaned etc., and added additional ground from the firewall to the engine block as the braided cable is reportedly very corroded. He replaced the...

    Power loss

    My 2011 just did this, wife went over railroad track and said that the door locks clicked, dash lit up, and steering and brakes were extremely hard. She coasted a bit, then it all came back on. Dropping at shop now for some electrical diagnostics, not very optimistic though. Have u noticed your...

    Total loss of electrical power while driving

    2011 Suburban LT ±157k miles. My wife was driving to work this morning, crossed over some railroad tracks and she said that the door locks clicked, the dashboard lit up, messages appeared, and she lost all power. She says she couldn't steer and brakes were hard to press so she coasted for a...

    What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    I used the Chemical Guys Clay bar kit and started detailing the burb. Didn't get started till late in the day so only got half the truck clayed and waxed. What a difference though, its amazing how much better it's looks.

    Vibration at 80mph

    I bought a 2011 Suburban back in April. It had a horrendous shake at highway speeds, steering wheel shook. Turned out it was a bent drive shaft . Did u have the tires road force balanced?

    A/C Mystery - 11 Burb

    In June, I noticed the a/c was cold-ish, but not really cold, and it seems it would kind of alternate between cold and ambient temp air. I attempted to add some freon with an over-the-counter can. While filling, I may have added some while the compressor was not on. Overall I really didn't add...

    Replacing shocks tomorrow

    So I took in to get an alignment today, after installing the new shocks. Asked them to look the suspension over. They called me up and said there's about a half inch of play in the lower ball joints. Told em to go ahead and replace em, so... Add new lower ball joints to the list $$. I wasn't...

    Part # Help - jounce bumper - bump stop

    This process is so annoying - depending on where you search including RA, Amazon, GMParts, ACDelco Catalog etc.. you get a wide range of results. I called a local dealer - Lou Bachrodt Chevrolet in Fort Lauderdale - These people SUCK!! the guy would not give me the part number, he told me I...

    Part # Help - jounce bumper - bump stop

    I found these on Amazon, also on ra. The description on both indicates Police Package Z56. They look like what I need for 2011 Suburban 1500 Lt ZW7. Anybody know for sure?

    Replacing shocks tomorrow

    New shocks all around- ✔️ Some observations. Started with the front strut assemblies which were actually easier than the rears. In nearly every video I watched they removed the front strut top nuts through the wheel well with a ratcheting wrench or similar, which is what I did on the first...

    Fuel backing up in filler neck at pump

    I just dealt with this on my 2011 Suburban. I replaced the following parts in this order. Vapor Canister Vent Valve (in the back, connected to the charcoal can on one end). No improvement. Vapor Canister Purge Valve Solenoid (in the engine bay/hose connected to it crumbled when replacing and...

    Replacing shocks tomorrow

    Gonna replace front and rear shocks tomorrow. Any tips, things to watch out for, things to avoid. Looks pretty straight forward. Will be doing it on the ground. Will I need to jack the axle up in addition to jacking the vehicle. I watched don video where the guy loosened the stabilizer end links...

    Sway Bar Bushings

    They fit. One went on like butter and one was tighter/harder to spread over the bar, I had to stretch it a bit with a needle nose first. Thanks for the lookup.

    Sway Bar Bushings

    I went back out there and did some more measuring and came in around 28 - I grabbed some from the zone that physically measure 28.4mm - I think I m good. Gonna go put them in and see what happens.

    Sway Bar Bushings

    I trying to source the rear sway bar bushings for a 2011 Suburban 1500LT. The fronts were 36mm, I measured the rear bar and it was 29.6mm??? I guess 30mm? gonna measure again but it's raining now. Has anyone replaced these and has the part number? Many sites do not specify the diameter -...

    2011 Burb - FML - What would you do here?

    Was the drive line shop in FTL Broward Power Train by chance? They have since become JD Driveline & Service LLC. Been around forever and highly recommended.

    2011 Burb - FML - What would you do here?

    I have been under it a lot since the new drive shaft and never noticed any leak or wetness. I had it in the 2nd shop about two weeks ago for the EVAP lines. They would have definitely said something if it was all wet and leaky looking. It's too coincidental to me. The drive shaft shop is solid...

    2011 Burb - FML - What would you do here?

    The back story on the drive shaft is... (it's all detailed in another thread somewhere).. Bought this thing in April, had some issues, once I finally got a good road test on it - at highway speeds, it was shaking like a mf'r. Came on here looking for advice and several suggested it might be the...

    2011 Suburban - Front Shocks recommendations

    I use those two sites as well - but then often find conflicting info when going to other sites to actually purchase. For instance... I'm looking for the rear Jounce Bumpers (bump stops). When I search the AC Delco parts catalog it returns just one part - Part# 15200997, it also says POLICE...

    2011 Burb - FML - What would you do here?

    I stopped in the shop that did the EVAP lines and fuel pump (dropped tank and drive shaft). Told them what was going on and they said they will replace the seal at no charge. WooHoo! I went ahead and bought the AC Delco seal so they don't have to eat the parts ($25) and so that I know what is...
