If you want to know when to change your hub/wheel bearing, jack up your front end, spin the wheel by hand and place your other hand on the knuckle or cv shaft. If you feel heavy vibrations or hear any kind of grinding, the bearing is dry and getting closer to failure.

Have acquired myself an '89 Chevy Suburban Silverado R1500, with the 6.2L Detroit. Sounds good, runs good, and just floats down the road. Just gotta deal with some very minor aesthetic issues and some rust.
I’ve got a 96 GMC K1500 Suburban with Barndoors that I love. Your videos are very well done and informative. Looks like you lived in my Neck of the woods before you guys moved back East. I live in the Frazier Park Community and have for 46 years and you need a 4x4 and my Suburban is perfect! Where you moved is beautiful! Kudos to you for getting out of California. Not the place anymore like it used to be. Keep up the good work. I can’t figure out how to to find the links to your videos so I can purchase some of the parts you use, thanks though I’ll figure it out eventually.
Best suv to be made in my opinion. I have a 2006 z71 fully loaded including navigation the only thing it’s lacking is power pedals also my friend has a 2001 z71 the only thing I have against them is the 4l60e transmission
Heck, even my dad uses his 2004 Chevrolet Suburban for work and it has close to 375,000 miles and it has the original engine but transmission was rebuilt
I've put two 4L60's in my '03 Z71. When I got it the Trip Meter read something like 263k mi but the Odometer only read like 120k mi and I know the cluster had been replaced at some point. But it's my tow pig beater so whatever lol

Man, my 2003 Z71 'Burb is parked since 2020. It started throwing a Check Engine Light, and that kills any chance of even starting an inspection here in Texas. And no inspection, no Tags. I was finally able to have a mechanic check the code, and it basically points to the sensor cluster on top of the gas tank. SO...gotta drop the tank and replace that whole sensor setup, then replace the tank...on a 4X4 ! Dealer wanted $1,300 back in 2020, and I'm unemployed for 11 years now, so that was a no go. Now I just turned 60 in March, 4 days after my dad passed, so plenty of other distractions. Oh well, I'll get her back on the road "Legally" eventually I guess. But I originally bought it in 2008 for using as my camper for when I go hunting. Yeah, haven't been hunting either...
If you have a siphon pump, a floor Jack, and some basic tools you can do it in an afternoon. It’s not fun but it’s doable. I did the fuel pump on my 99 c1500 Burb on a hot Florida summer day in the dirt. Getting the tank out and in was the east part. Trying to get my cheap Chinese Ebay fuel pump to fit was another story. Ended up sending it back and bought a $300 pump from O’Reilly’s.
Dead center under the seat behind the driver's. Cut a 8x8 hole with a grinder, only cut 3 sides fold it back and wala full pump no dropping tank. Hammer and a screwdriver and done
Took my trucks to get inspection with check engine lights on here in Texas and passed with no problems. Back in Cali it would fail the smog checks. Hope you get it back on the road soon.
That bearing is dry. Yes, change both sides. CV axles too unless they are pretty new. You could have radiused the stud plate with a carbide on a die grinder to clear the other mounting position embossments. The plate is only to hold the studs from turning during R&R. It serves no functional purpose once installed. Good video.

Keep it clean, change the fluids when need be, check belt and all pulleys, keep it tuned properly. This baby passed a California smog with flying colors. Drove from California to Missouri then to Florida and she's still running like a champ.
And has no rust. It was originally a ranch vehicle in Arizona, sold to a guy who bought it for his wife to drive their kids around but she was to small and afraid of it so I bought it for myself.

just being a Chevy GMC makes it better than most other trucks. honestly those chevys GMC's of your gen are undoubtedly some of the most reliable vehicles ever from any other American company.
2:58 the pump stops at $125 is not because your card, it's the pump's setting. From here, San Jose CA, Chevron stations, the limit used to be $150 before gas price took off, now is $175. Why I know this? Because My 94 Suburban K2500 has a 40 or 42gal tank, usually if I refuel at about 40% or less, it will stop before top off. I don't know if pay $200 at cashier will make it pump more than the limit. I really love my Suburban. She's K2500, 454, 4L80E, towing package, can do anything a K2500 truck can do except 5th wheel towing and over size load. But as compensate, she can carry 12ft wood beam with tail gate close; and I can sleep very comfortable while camping; and I heard it doesn't need to enter weight station when towing heavy trailer. Just this year, late Jan, I drive her from San Jose to New York, deliver a Toyota Tundra for a friend. The trailer weights about 4000lbs, Tundra is also about 4000lbs, so that's about 8000lbs. She just get the job done. And I even encountered the snow storm in Ohio, 8 inch deep snow, she just plow though like there is no snow, with regular tires that I use in San Jose. Just 4WD, no chains, no traction sand, despite I carried 2 sets of them. Before I actually start the delivery, many people suggested me to drive the Tundra there then fly back. Thank god I choose my Suburban, or I would probably end up in a ditch in Ohio because that Tundra is RWD with open diff. About towing, I actually expected to encounter the swing, however it never happen, even in snow, some time the trailer is side drifting, she just didn't care at all, stay in her track like there is no trailer. She is rated to tow 10klb, but I think she is safe to tow 12k, maybe up to 14k, while now days a mid size dares to rate at 7k, half ton dares to rate at 10k.
Those 'loose' bolts look a bit short, you need to make sure you have at least 1 full thread exposed when they are correctly torqued. If you do need to change them for longer ones you should also go for 12.9s
2013 Suburban...great family vehicle but had to get rid of it at 130k miles. Electrical grounding issues....bad sensors...active fuel management issues, alternator issues. It was perfect until 100K and then all hell broke loose trying to keep it fixed. Traded it in for a 2021 Tundra with Camper Top and haven't looked back.
Heard a loud, odd noise coming from outside during this video. Went out to check on everything, and it turns out it was my 2500HD laughing in Allsion 1000 at your 4L60E suburban.
There are powdered floor soaps that claim to be 100% biodegrable - It's white / orange and turns green when wet. A little bit of scrubbing with a stiff broom and allowing it to soak will clean your garage floor really well. Gotta give you a 👊 for properly securing your loads for transport - as it is all too often we see others driving (even down the freeway) without even one piece of scrap rope holding in all their junk. That ball joint hold-down bracket... 'could have'?... been shimmed on that one side with OEM bump-stop plate with some washers, but finding them with a small-enough O.D. would have been difficult, I imagine? The difference in tensile strength between 10.9 and 12.9 is about 180 psi - but as far as 'grade' is concerned - a 10.9 bolt is said to be similar to a 'grade 8' bolt. Aaand... If it's *any* consolation whatsoever to you and/or viewers - The 2021 Chevrolet Suburban has a $50K+ starting price, which is slightly higher than average for a large SUV...The price rises to $75,300 for the range-topping High Country trim level. So (in my opinion) - sinking a few grand into a similarly sized and capable vehicle that is already in full, is a better investment.
I just replaced both bearings and cv joint axles.On 2002 Tahoe. All bought at auto zone. Not one. Found out years ago that sometimes auto zone or o Riley s is better than ome. Got just as long or longer life out of them.

Definitely. I've had a number of 3/4 ton suburbans. I currently have a 2001 K2500 with the 6.0. I prefer the better braking performance, the stiffer suspension, and the taller ride height. Thanks for what you share, Jimmy!
Hello again one road Thank you for another Great Video. You're right. We've all been there. Usually for me, it was do I have enough money to pay for it....
I'm in agreement with you on the Suburban. Acquired a 2005 LT 1500 with all the bells & whistles last year. Of course some repairs were needed, the worst was the steel brake lines. Went with the Dorman stainless steel kit. Nasty repair but won't be loosing brakes again.
Burbans and are cool, I like em BUT they are not better than my pickup truck, 2007 Dodge Cummins 4x4 Mega Cab, I had a burban it tows nice but I needed a trailer for every big item, now in the pickup I throw anything in the back and only use a trailer when I really need it, not hating on burbans I do like em but practicality wise I’ll take a mega cab
Yea suburbans can be useful but I wish Chevy made a suburban with a 6.6 duramax. you can find them with the legendary 8.1 vortec. I know there’s the latest GMC Yukon with a 3.0 duramax
I agree Jimmy, love my K2500 Suburban... I'm not sure about there in Tennessee but here in Nebraska that load of scrap wood would have filled your tank! Good stuff as always... I used Timken hubs when I did mine. I found DrShock's video really helpful... 2500 is a little different than a 1500.
I like suburbans a lot but never owned one. Still my Dodge Cummins is more useful to me in rural Idaho. If I could afford it I'd have a new Ford super duty 450 or 550 with a flatbed like my Dodge has
I feel your pain with gas prices. I have two Suburbans as well, a 2004 with the 5.3L and my pride and joy a 1996 2500 Suburban with the 7.4L 454 big block in it. My bank card stops at 100 bucks when filling up on gas with them and I have to put the handle back and start another transaction to finish filling my burans up completely and the 1996 Suburban has a 42 gallon tank and gets about 10 to 12 mpg, but I still love my Suburbans and won't be getting rid of them just because of stupid politics and policies in Washington that is now making it more expensive in gas prices to drive them. Matter of fact my suburban has a Lets Go Brandon Edison Suburban emblem on the back of them. 😁 Love the videos, need to see them more frequently.
now u opened a can of worms.... should of just kept it stock and I would of been still usable... I stead of being in garage continue being fixed... lol
I don't know if it's just me, but all of this looks staged. I get the feeling that he not only borrowed the trailer, but he got the trash from people he knows just to make this video. it reminds me of those "reality" shows.

IM WORKING ON MY 1996 JEEP AND THE DRIVER'S SIDE WHEEL LEANS IN A LITTLE , I CHECKED FOR PLAY IN THE BALL JOINT BUT THERE IS NO PLAY .HOW DO I CHECK FOR A BENT BALL JOINT OR A BENT KNUCKLE ?
Love your videos….add a 3/4 ton to the fleet
I’d love to!
Definitely. I've had a number of 3/4 ton suburbans. I currently have a 2001 K2500 with the 6.0. I prefer the better braking performance, the stiffer suspension, and the taller ride height. Thanks for what you share, Jimmy!
Are you putting diesel in your suburban? @2:48 @1ROAD
No diesel. It's a 5.3l vortec. The pump handle is green for some reason.
@@1RoadGarage wow never seen a Gas pump have green handle for gas
@@1RoadGarage I know it has a 5.3l gas vortec the green handle threw me off that's always diesel never seen a gasoline handle green
Hello again one road
Thank you for another Great Video. You're right. We've all been there. Usually for me, it was do I have enough money to pay for it....
Yeah , I like your VLOG style videos.
I like your content. Keep up the good work. 👍👍
Why did you say if they let you dump the load a couple times? Why can't you take however much you want to the dump?
They have a limit of about '1 yard' per day. Basically an 8ft truck bed's worth.
Great video !
I always fill up on empty on my 01 Suburban but the pump stops around 21-23 gallons…. Do i have a smaller tank or something wrong with mine??
You going to paint the frame to prevent rust since now you don't live in California salted road do a big damage on vehicle?
Can you do more videos on the GMT 400 please. Thanks for sharing videos with us ❤️.
Those rims look so amazing on your suburban just like factory.
I just did the same thing on my side porch. My garage is still a mess 😩
I have Chevy truck silverado
End living in Sweden 🇸🇪
Full tank will cost 2700skr
It’s 270us$ 🤪😱
I like your car’s it’s in very good condition
Some great wood to be reused, wood is getting so expensive...
Wish I had a place to store it. 🤷♂️
@@1RoadGarage maybe Craigslist for free pickup also, save you on gas.
I'm in agreement with you on the Suburban. Acquired a 2005 LT 1500 with all the bells & whistles last year. Of course some repairs were needed, the worst was the steel brake lines. Went with the Dorman stainless steel kit. Nasty repair but won't be loosing brakes again.
You forgot about the pass through from the seats to the “shell”.
Lmfao at the title
Gas prices are outrageous. I have a '99 suburban with a 40 gallon tank, even at costco its not far off $200 to fill it entirely.
Burbans and are cool, I like em BUT they are not better than my pickup truck, 2007 Dodge Cummins 4x4 Mega Cab, I had a burban it tows nice but I needed a trailer for every big item, now in the pickup I throw anything in the back and only use a trailer when I really need it, not hating on burbans I do like em but practicality wise I’ll take a mega cab
Lol where I live gas prices like that we are used to so don't feel so down buddy
Hell my 99 suburban has a 42 gallon tank and it was damn near $200 to fill it up lol. Had to do 2 transactions lol
Haha! My ‘95 has that same 43 gallon tank! 🤙
Nice job Jimmy.A small simple job snow balls into an all out complete suspension replacement...😁😁
🤣🤙
Is that truck a diesel?
No. I wish it was. For some reason the pump handle is green. 🤷♂️
Man! That could cause some serious problems for someone!
Suprised with all that land you have you don't have a firepit to burn all the unused wood ,furniture ect you have. Saves gas. Saves time.
exactly, trailer and Yukon over truck all day long
Mavotech ttx hub bearings.
I looked. I don’t think they have the TTX for the GMT400.
@@1RoadGarage I’m pretty sure you could use gmt 800 hub bearings on a gmt 400. I know on a 2018 you could use hub bearings from a 2013.
Judging by your thumbnail you have one of a very few Duramax Suburban. Is it a factory one or converted. Still on the beginning advertisement
Our local dump don't care how much you take lol.
Yea suburbans can be useful but I wish Chevy made a suburban with a 6.6 duramax. you can find them with the legendary 8.1 vortec. I know there’s the latest GMC Yukon with a 3.0 duramax
I agree Jimmy, love my K2500 Suburban... I'm not sure about there in Tennessee but here in Nebraska that load of scrap wood would have filled your tank! Good stuff as always... I used Timken hubs when I did mine. I found DrShock's video really helpful... 2500 is a little different than a 1500.
I was just looking for Timken but don’t think they’re available for my k1500. Ordered ACDelco which I’m okay with.
3:19 lololol you have cheap gas... That what is insane... In my country you should pay double that
100 USD for 23 gal.? That's half price of what we're paying here. Lucky you!
Where?
Where?
@@1RoadGarage
Easy now, once is enough. 😉
Denmark.
You think that’s high, roughly I’m paying 8.16 a gallon where we are once you switch the price over from litres to gallons
I can guarantee your suburban is better than my Yukon xl. Mine has 310,523 miles and starting to show signs of dying 😆
What signs do you see? Can it be fixed?
I like suburbans a lot but never owned one. Still my Dodge Cummins is more useful to me in rural Idaho. If I could afford it I'd have a new Ford super duty 450 or 550 with a flatbed like my Dodge has
I feel your pain with gas prices. I have two Suburbans as well, a 2004 with the 5.3L and my pride and joy a 1996 2500 Suburban with the 7.4L 454 big block in it. My bank card stops at 100 bucks when filling up on gas with them and I have to put the handle back and start another transaction to finish filling my burans up completely and the 1996 Suburban has a 42 gallon tank and gets about 10 to 12 mpg, but I still love my Suburbans and won't be getting rid of them just because of stupid politics and policies in Washington that is now making it more expensive in gas prices to drive them. Matter of fact my suburban has a Lets Go Brandon Edison Suburban emblem on the back of them. 😁
Love the videos, need to see them more frequently.
All New Parts.! Nothing on it is Original… it should be better…😆🤣😆
Some parts are better but when you get not factory crap parts. We be like. The truck rides rougher and is louder.. after market is not all ways better
now u opened a can of worms.... should of just kept it stock and I would of been still usable... I stead of being in garage continue being fixed... lol
I own a suburban lt 2003 with 204k miles I have replaced the transmission & suspension & front control arms once running like a champ state to state 🛥
Dude I wouldn't have thrown that wood away.
I know right??!! Probably like $1000 worth of wood. I just have no where to store it.
My 1999 Suburban held 44 gallons.
Do the math, it is a big number!
Timken bearings are the best . Not sure I spelled it wright . They also make hub bearings . Pricey but great and long lasting
2001 suburban $163.00 to fill it at a Seattle Costco.
Mine is 27gallons it's a 2001 Suburban 4x4
Just think if still in California $125 would only get you 20 to 17 gallons of gas.
180 to fill up in California
TIMKEN HUBS
75k is high mileage noatter what year the truck was made.
Got alot dumped
should've kept the wood and given away
$100 just wets the tank of my 2500
My corolla could have hauled that for like pennies
Be thankful you don’t live in California now. Gas prices over $6/gal
A lot of good wood you're throwing away
You threw away so much lumber. 😢
Suburbans donot make a good truck i have had 4 of them only 1 half as Thay are so week ton the 3/4 ton wear ok good strong rig
I don't know if it's just me, but all of this looks staged. I get the feeling that he not only borrowed the trailer, but he got the trash from people he knows just to make this video. it reminds me of those "reality" shows.
Let's go Brandon 🇺🇸
Keep voting Democrat or RINO and lets get GAS to $8.00 within 2 years...
Be so glad you moved out of california and governor Newscum! We have the highest price of gas in the Nation!
