Read complaints for GMC SUBURBAN (1993)
Alternator bracket broke and dropped into the engine, causing engine failure.
The only warning of this impending failure was the battery indicator came on. I pulled over when the temperature gauge all of a sudden moved from right to left. The alternator flamed up four times and we were able to extinquish with the help of passerbys. No other warning on the instrument panel was shown!i am reporting this because an electrical engineer informed me that this fire should not have occurred.
Had to replace radiator twice because of splitting.tt
My suburban has had 4 radiator failures since new. All have been due to electralisis. Gmc paid for the 1st failure (part only i paid labor) even though the truck was over 10000 miles out of warenty. The 4 radiator has now failed and a 5th is required. Gmc is well aware of this problem but insists thiers nothing wrong with the cooling system. As a side note the heater core has never been replaced.thanks for your time, al greenfield.

I have made sure i have done preventive maintenance to ensure that nothing major would happen . However, i spent $2,600 to replace the rear differntial in 1997 and now after putting the car in reverse on 3/17/00 the rear differential exploded. Now the mechanics are telling me that it will cost 4,000 because there are no used idfferentials available because they are all broken. I have spent thousands fixing the rotars, even after getting regular brake inspections.other items i did not report are the three rear passenger seat belts that broke, the door locks constantly get suck and i have to use a screw diriver to unlock them, and it takes two hands to turn the key locks because they are so hard to turn. With all that said, my mjaor concern is why the rear differential just explodes, even after getting my breaks and ar fluids inspected.the suburban is a gmc 1500, sle model k10906.
Rear differential carrier on my 1993 suburban k1500 broke and locked the rear wheels, form my understanding this is a common occurance on these trucks and gm should be aware of how often these thinsg break and the potential for loss of vehicle control of this happened at high speed.
