    Engine cranks, but only starts after letting off key? - I'm perplexed

    I haven’t looked yet to see if places like LMC or similar sell harness sections. Also haven’t looked to see if the original is built in sections (I.e. disconnects at certain points) where portions can be replaced vs the entire harness

    Engine cranks, but only starts after letting off key? - I'm perplexed

    Are there any wires/connectors behind the radio area that I could have damaged when I removed/reinstalled the radio? Or is it just a coincidence that it started acting up right after I reinstalled the radio?

    Engine cranks, but only starts after letting off key? - I'm perplexed

    I will add that with the exception of the ignition switch, all other parts replaced so far have been AC Delco/Delphi to rule out less reliable aftermarket electrical parts.

    Engine cranks, but only starts after letting off key? - I'm perplexed

    Good evening friends! It's been quite awhile since I gave an update, mainly because it's been a long journey. The latest and greatest... Long story short the shop replaced the ignition switch a second time. Still having the cranking issue intermittently, so the shop looked over the wiring...

    Smoke Blue Metallic - where to find for touch ups

    Hello all, No, my engine is not blowing blue smoke (this was all of the threads returned when searching on the forum for smoke blue metallic haha). The color of my 91 Burban is a little hard to track down. Looked at the SPID and it’s just codes, no descriptions like some of the earlier SPIDs...

    Engine cranks, but only starts after letting off key? - I'm perplexed

    The whole distributor assembly was replaced which I assume includes the HEI coil. I’ll have to double check that. The switch issue seems to have developed after they fixed the vacuum leaks and replaced the distributor. Makes me wonder if putting the original distributor back in would shed any...

    Engine cranks, but only starts after letting off key? - I'm perplexed

    It's stored at the shop this weekend but I'll be sure to mention it to the shop first thing Monday morning so they can try that. The good thing is it's starting every time and running normal, just acting a little odd with the switch when up to temp. Battery is older, but voltage is good and...

    Engine cranks, but only starts after letting off key? - I'm perplexed

    Well....the ignition switch has been replaced. The shop drove it to test cold and hot starts. Everything seemed to be back to normal according to them. I picked it up this afternoon and stopped at the store on the way home. Seems to run normal. Came out from the store, same issue...cranks...

    Engine cranks, but only starts after letting off key? - I'm perplexed

    Hello all - thank you for your feedback so far. I think it's helping to narrow it down. I kept the suburban overnight at my house to see how it behaved this morning when cold. Went out and it started like normal. Fired while cranking and didn't have to let off the key. Drove it back to the...

    Engine cranks, but only starts after letting off key? - I'm perplexed

    Hello all! I'm perplexed...I think the repair shop is getting there too. I recently had my suburban break down on the weekend shortly after leaving the house. The engine bucked a couple times before briefly stumbling and dying. Coasted into a parking lot and had it towed to a local shop. It...

    Module under Radio

    I think you’re spot on. Googled the info and the images look just like that module I saw below the radio. That makes me feel better that I can rule that out as the culprit. The local shop found multiple vacuum leaks around the throttle body and intake manifold. They’re convinced those repairs...

    Module under Radio

    Hello all On my 91 suburban - Does any by chance know what the white-ish module mounted on the lower dash, underneath the radio is? I unfortunately don’t have a picture of mine, but I noticed it when removing/reinstalling my factory radio this past week. I reinstalled the radio Thursday...

    91 Burban Radio Restoration - Static Gone!

    I guess I gave the suburban too many praises yesterday. Broke down on the first drive with the new radio haha and being towed to the shop

    91 Burban Radio Restoration - Static Gone!

    Hello all! Awhile back I had posted about speaker ohm, thinking the static/crackling I was getting on the right channels was a speaker issue. See thread here: https://www.gmsquarebody.com/threads/91-suburban-rear-speaker-which-ohm.40512/#post-856426 Well....I was doing a little more...

    Front Fender Well Inspection Covers?

    Seems pretty unanimous…looks like it’s time to get the tip snips out. Thanks for the replies everyone

    Front Fender Well Inspection Covers?

    Hello all - on my 91 suburban, the front fender wells have what looks like an inspection cover on the rear side (see pics below) held in by three bolts. Not sure what the purpose of these covers were, but mine have rusted through over time and would like to replace them before the rust cancer...

    Best deal on leaf springs?

    I bought my replacement rear leafs from General Spring KC. The best deal I could find on rear leafs. Much less than LMC. Shipping was quick and staff was friendly in answering my questions on the phone. They did develop an awful creaking noise shortly after install and cycling the...

    91 Suburban Rear Speaker - Which Ohm?

    Well - gave it some contact cleaner and worked the knobs. Seems like I have an issue with the radio itself as it's still making sporadic static/popping noise on the right side. More so in the back right speaker than the front right. I tried pulling the entire radio out, but it was not...

    Rear AC Blower Motor/Fan

    Well after a little more researching, I found an AutoZone hub not too far away that had one on the shelf for $35. Also had the factory plug/connections surprisingly, rather than bare pigtails. Tech Tip - triple check the orientation of your fan cages. After installing the new motor and...

    Rear AC Blower Motor/Fan

    Happy Saturday everyone! My rear AC fan was rubbing the plastic housing. Took it apart to inspect and it looked like the fan motor shaft had some side to side play in it. One side had a push nut/clip but the other side did not. Took it out and installed a push nut/clip on the side that was...

    91 Suburban Rear Speaker - Which Ohm?

    Picked up some contact cleaner last night. Going to give it a shot this weekend and see if there is a change. That's what made me hook up the meter to measure the ohms across the positive/negative terminals. I didn't want to further damage the radio by hooking up a speaker with the wrong ohm...

    91 Suburban Rear Speaker - Which Ohm?

    Hmmm that could be possible considering the static is on the same side/channel, and adjusting the left/right knob did help some. Adjusting the back/front didn't appear to affect it as much. It's only happened once (last night) and what was odd is that increasing/decreasing volume using the...

    91 Suburban Rear Speaker - Which Ohm?

    I've been getting some static on the right channel (front and rear) of my suburban recently. Not quite sure if it's the original radio head unit causing the issue or original speakers finally biting the dust. Pulled one of the rear speakers out to see if it listed what ohm it was rated for...
