I got a part number from a stealership for my 03 Suburban 5.3 20919877 for 470.00. Amazon has a GM Genuine for 135.00 but the part number is 154694. Amazon Fan Clutch 154694 Rock Auto has both these part numbers listed, for this part, so I am assuming they are the same? Rock Auto Fan Clutch...

Interesting to hear from a parts guy... That says a lot. Also an interesting strategy about getting a better daily driver and a dedicated tow vehicle. I am sure there are lots of dependable mid size SUV options for her to choose from, although she does like the big Expedition...just old and...

Thanks for the input. I don't need a Denali...I liked the Denali. I am partial to Chevy Suburban/Tahoe Xl, Denali XL for tow capacity and overall experience with the suburban vs expedition that I own. I do like the idea of extended warranty, if there is a plan that covers older, higher mileage...

Your killing me! I have a hard time accepting 40k for a used vehicle. That is 1/4 of my mortgage. Is that even realistic? Maybe get something with 50k miles for that? What would be a reliable Denali xl year to look at in a 40k price range?

FWIW the car fax on one I was looking at showed the torque converter changed at 35k miles. Don't know if that helped to save transmission or if there are other factors that come into play on this 8 speed generation. I see some generic posts stating that the transmission will fail and need to be...

Shopping for a Used Suburban, Yukon XL, Denali XL or similar. Originally allocated 15k budget, but 15k doesn't get much. I was looking at 2013 models, but don't like the styling. I accidently looked at a 2016 Denali and really liked the features and styling. I will want to tow my RV with it and...

Fan clutch seems like an easy enough thing to do, maybe worth a shot to start. 222k miles, so I am sure it is due anyways

This also makes sense. I would imagine pressures change with ambient temperature. Only thing with the airflow theory is that it does not always correct itself at highway speeds. Any of the partially clogged conditions could be possible. The trouble I had at one mechanic is that I could not...

This had one of the mechanics scratching his head. This was years ago, but if memory serves, he was able to bypass some of the electronic controls to directly energize the compressor clutch, but the clutch would only intermittently engage when the temperature was set at the lowest setting, so I...

Ever since I bought my 03 Suburban 5.4 years ago, I have always had AC issues under certain conditions and 3 mechanics have not been able to diagnose it. AC has been serviced and levels and pressures checked. Problem only starts when I am at idle in hot weather for too long. Eg, today was 90...

I have a few wires in a transmission wiring harness that has compromised insulation. The harness was touching the manifold, melted the split loom and melted the insulation on a couple wires. The copper wiring is still in good shape, I just need to repair the insulation. Problem is that it is in...

Thanks for the feedback. It is definitely a shifting issue, the RPM's are clearly showing that as it is surging while randomly shifting back and forth between gears, but I wouldn't rule anything out...I am leaning towards electrical. As a side note, I did take it for another drive with overdrive...

Wife just took Expedition to mechanic for AC service. 98 Expedition, 5.4 After the service, she noticed the vehicle surging and "running rough" Later the CEL came on. I believe PO750 code. I called mechanic, he said all the AC work he did was up top and easily accessible, so likely a...

New TRQ? New Cardone? New GSP? These seem to be a few common options at online parts stores

I need to replace the CV Axles on my 04 Nissan Sentra 1.8. Is there any brand that is favored on this forum or any I should avoid?

Narrowed down to Delco New for 175.00, Bosch rebuild for 195.00 and Denso rebuild for 265.00. The Delco is from RA or Parts Geek, the Bosch and Denso from Amazon. Tried Denso direct, but they do not sell direct to consumers. I chose Amazon, because their returns are easy and free if there is a...

I see 80 amp and 100 amp options. The dealer could not tell me which I have (or am supposed to have) from the VIN. This alternator that is in there now is not the original (was changed by an outside mechanic while I was out of town), so I don't know what it is until I take it out. Any ideas how...

Looking to replace the alternator on my 04 Nissan Sentra 1.8. There are a lot of options with a pretty big range of prices. Dealer part number 2310M-42400RW and was 478.92 + 75.00 core One mechanic told me to stay away from Carquest and recommended Denzo. Here is Rock Auto's selection. Rock Auto...

If I could find a face palm emogi, this would be the place to use it. Sorry to waste your time, but thanks for providing the simple solution.

Trying to save some wear on my battery reserve in between charges as I am working in and out of my 2003 Suburban during the day. When I open the doors, the interior lights come on and stay on for a period of time, every time I open the doors. This may be contributing to some of my battery...
