    Need Some HVAC Advice 2003 Suburban

    Thanks for this advice. My gap is a little difficult to read. .021 seems to fit well with just a little friction, but not enough to move the feeler gauge when spinning the clutch. I can force an .030 in with only a little effort. I have started taking my dash apart to get to the fresh air intake...

    Head Unit Recommendations For 2003 Suburban

    I agree on the volume buttons. I have steering wheel controls, which I love and use all the time, so I don't think that would be much of an issue for me.

    Stock Junkyard Radio - "Locked"

    This is getting pretty complicated (for me anyways) I tried the presets approach after doing the google search. No change. I may have to just take the approach of getting an aftermarket as I have posted in another thread. Thought this junk yard radio would be a simple temporary solution to get...

    Stock Junkyard Radio - "Locked"

    I picked up a junkyard radio for 25.00 for my 2003 Suburban. My old one would only works once it gets hot in the cabin. When I plugged it in, it sounded like the cd player was trying to spin and I got a message on the screen that said "Locked". No sound at all. Is there a workaround for this...

    Need Some HVAC Advice 2003 Suburban

    I have been having an intermittent problem with my 2003 Suburban AC for years now and really want to get this resolved. I do plan to keep it for a while, so don't mind to invest 1k to 1.5 k to get this working properly. I am thinking of just replacing everything due to age of the vehicle and not...

    Head Unit Recommendations For 2003 Suburban

    It looks like my factory radio has a problem. I liked the sound of it when it is working. I have diagnosed that the amp is O.K and that the problem is with the head unit itself. Powers on O.K, but audio only comes on when the vehicle interior gets hot. There seem to be a lot of options for head...

    Wiring Diagram For 2003 Suburban Audio System

    Got a used amp from the junk yard. Exactly the same problem still exists. I put a test light on the wiring harness junction leads at the connection under the console cup holder that comes from the dash area. When there is no audio, 8 of the pins do not illuminate the test light, when the vehicle...

    Wiring Diagram For 2003 Suburban Audio System

    Yes, all the displays come on and all functions work, just no sound at all as described. I like the idea of resoldering. I have not done this before on circuit boards, wires yes, circuit boards no. I don't mind spending money on another amp, but just concerned that I wouldn't know if it is a...

    Wiring Diagram For 2003 Suburban Audio System

    I am having an intermittent problem with my 2003 Suburban 1500 Radio with Bose package. Radio will only come on (all sources) when the vehicle is hot on the inside. Once it is on, it will stay on until I shut off the car. If the temp inside is hot, it will come back on when I turn the car back...

    Alternate To OEM Tie Rods (OE Not Available)

    Working on some steering work rebuild on my 03 Suburban 1500. Dealer says part number for OE is 19152329 for the inner. When I search that part, I find mostly these. No boot and has a large clamp. An assembly diagram looks like this is part of a steering rack assembly, which I do not have...

    Leaking Gear box - 2003 Suburban 5.3

    Anyone with experience on the Red Head or Blue Tops? Blue Top is 380 which includes shipping and return label for the core. In a perfect world, I could just count on a rebuilt Cardone for 193.00 from AA, but that sounds like a craps shoot that it would not leak or have tolerance issues and even...

    Leaking Gear box - 2003 Suburban 5.3

    Seems like options are a little limited here. Toggling between going with a junk yard one that appears to be dry on the seals, (but who knows that history or internal wear on this) or doing a Cardone from a local AA to take advantage of lifetime warranty in case there is a problem. BBB claims...

    Clearing 5-2 Air Bag Module Code

    Battery is good now. It was completely drained after the windshield leak caused some shorts in the electrical system that corrected themselves after the leak was fixed and everything dried out. I saw that too on my searching.

    Leaking Gear box - 2003 Suburban 5.3

    My PS gear box is starting to leak on my 03 Suburban 1500 5.3. I can't seem to find AC Delco or GM original and the Cardones are all remans. Any recommendations on which is a reliable replacement? I am thinking to replace all the steering components while I am taking it apart. The inner tie rod...

    Clearing 5-2 Air Bag Module Code

    I am not getting any DTC code on my scan tool (D8 Xtool). When I start the car the air bag light flashes 5 times, with a pause, then 2 times. This cycle repeats several times until it ultimately stays on solid.

    Clearing 5-2 Air Bag Module Code

    Anyone know how to clear a 5-2 Air Bag code on a 1998 Expedition 5.4? Came on after an internal windshield leak and drained battery. Leak is fixed...I think.

    98 Expedition - Air Bag Light 5-2 After Windshield Leak

    I had an issue with my windshield leaking into the cabin on my 98 Expedition 5.4. I thought this was just a nuisance until the battery completely drained. I charged and took it for a drive and everything was clicking and lights flashing on and off on the dash and on 1 turn, the 4x4 light came...

    2003 Suburban HVAC Relay Heating Up

    I have been trying to trace down intermittent HVAC issue in my 2003 Suburban 1500 5.3. AC works mostly while in motion, but if I sit at idle too long the compressor stops kicking in. My most recent diagnostics shows me that the relay is heating up and stops working. With my last troubleshooting...
