Duramax Suburban - IFS Rebuild
- Thread starter dhcomp
- Start date
Yeah. Didn't' like the idea of cutting in that close of quarters. But that was my next move if heat and puller didn't get it off.
Another trick I was taught by an old mechanic to remove an outer bearing race from something like a front pinion bearing that no puller can be used on--he took his arc welder and ran 3 beads (puddle) on the center of the race in triangle fashion,spaced evenly apart--after a few minutes when everything cools off,the race will shrink enough to allow it to be pulled out with a pick tool..
Had major bcm issues. Russel saved the day by helping me through reprogramming with my non-matching vins. Hell of a guy!
Pumped to have it back on the road!

Glad everything worked out well for you! Had me worried for a bit when it wouldn't crank with that second battery disconnected haha
And now....i've got a dead starter.
Drove it for a day or 2 to work, then parked it. Went to start today, all systems powered up, just a click of the starter.
Start wire and 12v wire have power at starter when key is turned. From what i hear, the dmax starters suck to replace. Teardown tomorrow night, starter here Tuesday, need it back together before the weekend.

They are not horrible to replace. Just really heavy. It'll just squeeze out past your torsion bars. Always something, hey? I drove the caddy to work today and discovered I have a boost leak. Sounds like someone letting air out of a balloon when it makes boost lol
Lol, boost leak sounds all bad.
Everyone talks about a heat shield that is tough to remove. Not seeing one on mine, probably got left off by the builder.
Will look into a replacement.
Probably why your starter died if it is missing
Yep. When you do the starter on this, is there an actual starter shield? If so, anyone have a parts diagram or part number? If not, I’ll use a universal wrap.
Got the starter out. 30 min, very impressed, not bad at all. And about half the weight of the old 91 starter.
After playing with the Bendix, it worked on jumper cables, but that’s a false positive. New Delco pro starter here tmr.
Thanks guys.
