    Abs light on, strange behavior

    Well I'm officially stumped. The connections for the wheel speed sensors looked fine and I can't find anything visually wrong with the wires. The abs light is still on, but it's no longer pulsing the brakes when I hit them while turning at low speeds. The abs will not engage now, which in my...

    Abs light on, strange behavior

    I am an idiot and assumed the speed sensor was attached to the hub like on gmt800 trucks, the sensors are separate. I just put new cv's and hubs on yesterday, along with sway bar end links because cutting the crusty ones seemed like a better option to make room for the axles than to drop the...

    Abs light on, strange behavior

    Small update, I pulled the code, it's a code 6, erratic speed signal. The wires are intact, so I'm guessing it's a tone ring problem. I ordered new hubs and cv shafts for it. I'll let everyone know how it goes when I replace the parts this weekend.

    Abs light on, strange behavior

    Thanks man. I love my truck, it's with me until it can't be fixed.

    Abs light on, strange behavior

    My bad, having a bad night and taking it out where I shouldn't.

    Abs light on, strange behavior

    I understand how it works, I put it off when I saw it then forgot about it. Disaster is a bit of an exaggeration though, the truck lives on a farm now, doesn't even see the road most months. I am going to replace them.

    Abs light on, strange behavior

    Yeah, this was happening before the brake job. I've owned the truck for 7 or 8 years now, it's got almost 200k miles on it and has spent it's entire life in states that hate car owners, aka salt on roads. The cv boots have been split for years, but I never used 4wd so I just left them like...

    Abs light on, strange behavior

    Sorry if this is in the wrong place. My 1994 k1500 suburban has the abs light on and if I hit the brakes with the wheel turned at low speeds the abs freaks out and pulses the brakes like crazy. I did pads, rotors, calipers, master, and booster recently, the drums were good, just needed some...

    Oil coming from intake manifold bolts

    Just because he can't reply doesn't mean he can't see this. You better watch out, he might be coming for you. Luckily for us, he's such a ****** mechanic that you know his truck isn't making it far enough to shoot anyone.

    Oversized Drain plug?

    If you pulled the pan you could remove the bung and weld in a new one. Or if there is enough real estate, bore out past the size of the old threads and tap it for a bigger bolt. I'd want to remove the pan for that to make sure you get all the shavings out though.

    Which Blend Door Actuator?

    Thanks for the info! Do you know what they mean by manual temp control? Would that be a slider opposed to an electrical selector?

    Which Blend Door Actuator?

    Does anyone know why there are something like 4 different blend door actuators available for these trucks? I need to replace mine (1994 K1500 Suburban SLE) and I don't know if I have the 2 pin, 4 pin, 5 pin etc. Short of pulling the actuator out beforehand, does anyone know how to properly...

    TERRIBLE slow performance in snow

    I run all seasons year round in the midwest, you don' t need winter tires in 90% of the country, but worn tires will make snow awful. If you have an open diff, that isn't helping, see about a junkyard rear end swap if that is the case. I also have no clue where the idea of low gears being...

    Finally did the NBS MC swap and rear disc converion!

    Did you inspect all your brake lines? Is your booster up for the task of four discs? I think the abs system in these trucks sucks, I would delete if if I did any major brake upgrades.
