Would not got into 4 wheel drive.
Anti lock brakes took way too long to stop truck.
Stalled at all the wrong times without any fore notice.
Sucked fuel like crazy (9-10mpg)!
Steering would bind up when making a left turn.
Oil leaked out of the oil cooler fittings.
Once all those problems were fixed, the truck has been a dream.It fits all our purposes of buying it in the first place.
This truck has just about made a auto mechanic out of me. The web pages have helped me with fixing all those problems and saving a fortune in repairs. So, it turned out that instead of the previous onwer ripping me off...I got a good deal.
You got only 9-10MPG out of your 6.5 turbo diesel Automatic? That doesn't sound right! I have a 6.2L diesel and it got 16 MPG when running bad with a bad transmission, about 22MPG normal. Your 6.5 should get 9-10MPG while pulling thousands of pounds behind it in the city going through a hundred redlights in a row 300 feet from each other. A 6.5L diesel should get about 18MPG normally on the highway.
My 96 GMC Suburban has a dome light problem. Can not seem to find out why the dome light will not come on. The ceiling spots can be controlled. The lights low under the dash come on, but the center and rear dome light will not work.
The dome bulbs have already been replaced with new ones.
Try to replace the Light Bulbs inside the Dome Shield. I hope this is of help to you.
My anti-lock brake light will come on and the transmission will slip and will not shift. When light goes out transmission operates fine. Has anybody experienced this? I am wondering if it is in the computer controls? It is a 97 GMC Suburban.
