Sounds like the shifter solenoid is stuck in a position and will not disengage. Try removing the harness to the shifter solenoid on the transfer case and see if the noise goes away. If it does, then the shifter solenoid...
Hi Kyle. Thanks for contacting us tonight. Yes - what you are describing is a very serious issue - especially since this is a drive axle. It's possible that you have a broken axle or hub - which should be...
Hi Russ. Thanks for contacting us tonight. As a vehicle's transmission ages, the inner seals and gaskets begin to dry naturally. This is accelerated inside an automatic transmission, which is a hydraulic unit. In some cases, when the transmission fluid...
That would be unusual so be sure that the antifreeze is not leaking elsewhere and then flowing to that spot. If it is coming out at that point, pull the dipstick to confirm that there is antifreeze in the crankcase....
Make sure the battery cables are clean (https://www.yourmechanic.com/article/how-to-clean-battery-terminal-connections-on-a-car) and tight. You need to make sure you check ALL fuses (https://www.yourmechanic.com/article/how-to-check-fuses-by-rocco-lovetere) to see if there are any that are draining the battery. Crank your car for 15 seconds. Do this 3...
I would agree. The ignition switch (https://www.yourmechanic.com/article/how-to-install-an-ignition-switch-by-robert-tomashek) is sounding like the main suspect on your Suburban. That's the only thing that could lock your steering and then cause instrument cluster to not turn on. If you want to have this...
Hello, the automatic transmission has 3 systems; electronic, hydraulic, and mechanical. What describe could be an internal mechanical failure with transmission. There also could be a hydraulic failure internal with transmission creating only the forward gears circuit to operate. The...
Hello. If the engine has never been overheated then it is typically caused by a failing intake manifold gasket. This is very common on this engine. In order to determine what the issue is, a mechanic would typically do a...
Hello, if the shifter is disconnected, there is a chance that what ever holds the cable to the linkage is broken or worn out. The cable where it has become disconnected should be inspected to see what has failed. I...
Hi there. In many cases when a crankshaft position sensor issue is found, the actual culprit is the wiring harness that has been damaged and needs to also be replaced. If this was not completed when you replaced the sensor,...
In the starter circuit on your model, in addition to the "relay", there is a starter relay control in the PCM, and a totally integrated power module that has the neutral safety switch and the starter motor controller and of...
You were probably right to change the plugs and coils, they needed to be ruled out. But since you're not getting codes for a specific cylinder, your problem is probably a little more subtle. You might be having a problem...
Hi Nicole. Thanks for contacting us today. The question I would ask you is whether or not you were having the starting hesitation issue prior to having the vehicle serviced - or if it happened after. If it's been an...
Hi Jervon. Thanks for contacting us tonight. While installing spark plug wires incorrectly can cause misfiring, it's quite possible that you had an existing vacuum leak. It's also possible that the vacuum leak may have been caused while you removed...
Hi there. I'm assuming this is a Quadrajet 4-barrel carburetor. Chances are, when the vehicle was parked, the carburetor was not run dry. This means the carburetor may need to be rebuilt or replaced. The float needle is probably stuck...
Hello. It sounds like the window motor failed. It is much easier for a failing motor to lower and window and not be able to close it. I would typically remove the door panel and first check the voltage at...
Water in the oil usually mean you have a blown head gasket. (https://www.yourmechanic.com/services/oil-pump-cover-gasket-replacement) This happens normally when the engine overheats and warps the head causing the water to leak into the oil passages of the head where the gasket meets...
Hi, in this case, the PCV should be checked, it may be a little dirty. The elbow on the vacuum line at the throttle body may need to be replaced. Inspect for cracked vacuum line from the throttle body to...
When you turn on the turn signal on the right side do you get a light in front and rear come on but not blink? Do not have headlights on at this time. Replace the right front turn signal bulb...
It is quite possible that the fuel filter is what is causing your no start issue. If the fuel filter becomes clogged with debris, the fuel pressure at the fuel rail will decrease due to the restriction. If the fuel...
