    1997 gmc k2500 burban

    Not a good solution. Using this method, if the battery dies or loses connection then the PCM will start looking for a signal from the PassLock module again and you'll be right back in a no-start situation. I would only do this in an emergency or for testing purposes. If you want PassLock...

    Project: Just Keep it Nice

    I really need to take the window sticker for my Suburban out of the glove box and put it somewhere a little safer. Maybe I'll frame it. :lol:

    88-98 Service Manuals

    Gotta keep scrolling past the first post, other members have added the missing years over time. The link to the '96 manuals is on page 9, '97 is on page 10.

    Authenticity Forum

    I agree that interest and participation might be limited, but I think this is a cool idea. Even without a separate sub-forum it would be nice to have a thread somewhere. Maybe the Body/Paint section or Member Trucks?

    Passenger Airbag Switch?

    In the bezel to the right of the steering wheel where the cargo and fog lamp switches are. My '97 single cab has one while my '97 Suburban does not, which tracks with the info others have posted here.

    ABS and ignition problems

    I had a similar multi-purpose tool in my first car. It doubled as a hood prop and a button presser. The trunk wouldn't open unless you were pulling up on the lid while you hit the release button, and the button was on the driver's side door panel. With one hand pulling up on the trunk lid and...

    How to: factory auxiliary trans cooler upgrade

    The Tru-Cool M7B is in stock at a few other vendors, but it's now about the same price as the B&Ms anyway. I'm seeing it between $180 and $200. I also removed the Amazon link that's no longer valid, thanks for the heads up @MBRZ71.

    2004 Impala LS (3.8L) Questions

    Mouser finally emailed me back, they requested some more info and are going to proceed with attempting to get a quote from Aptiv. Still not holding my breath, but at least I did eventually get a response.

    Passlock / Security Mode question

    HPTuners, EFILive, or JET DST should all be able to disable the Passlock on a '98.

    Full-Page ads taking over forum???

    I've used this combo for years now and I don't think there's anything better available. As an added bonus, uBlock Origin will catch and eliminate ads embedded in streaming video sites like YouTube and Hulu. Plus, any extension that runs on the Desktop version of Firefox will also run on their...

    What are my options for 6x9 speakers in an ext cab?

    6.75"s will fit the front doors just fine. The tweeters on that component set will probably fit under the factory tweeter grille in the door panel as well with a little trimming.

    Want to Learn To Tune - Need help getting started

    Looking at your other thread, it appears that your truck is a 1998. If that's the case, the 0411 PCM swap isn't entirely necessary for tuning. The '98+ black box PCMs in these trucks are supported by HPTuners and EFILive, so you can tune your existing PCM with either of those solutions.

    What are my options for 6x9 speakers in an ext cab?

    Personally I would get rid of those and get some 4"x6"s that will mount up in the factory locations. The front speakers may be 6.5"s in the doors ('95+) or 4"x6"s in the dash ('88-'94) but the rears are always 4"x6" in the pickups.

    Spring coolant top up

    I would certainly think so, but if I were in your shoes I'd be tempted to have an analysis done out of curiosity anyway. Even if they don't find anything out of the ordinary, $35 for a confirmed clean bill of health after 28 years might not be a bad thing.

    Spring coolant top up

    I have Blackstone Labs do an oil analysis on all of my vehicles every few years as well, and would recommend it to anyone. They can detect even the smallest trace amounts of anything that's not supposed to be in there. They saved the 400SBC in our 1970 Monte Carlo by detecting the presence of...
