2015 suburban lt, at slow speeds when i turn i get hard steering, service park assist, service stabilitrak and truck sometimes shuts off. Dealer said battery bad. Wanted to replace told them no. Took the battery to my mechanic after me testing it and both meters show good. No open recalls on the truck. This sounds like the power steering recall right.d4b3692f01b43052ac90cff749da3487.jpgf635b414f7e603ebf2ce70b54882b85d.jpg

Heres my dilema, deal with the dealership or just trade her in. I have no loan, 59k miles and ac compressor is gone. If i get 34k for her found a 17 with 39k miles for 40k. Pay the 6k cash and be done?

Does the Suburban have the same ground at the dash as the Silverados and Sierras?  If so, you may have a grounding issue. Your symptoms mirror the G218 grounding issue. There are many youtube videos that cover the fix. Maybe this will help:

Take a look at his previous video where he discusses his symptoms.

High resistance in battery cables can cause low battery warnings service stabilitrack, etc. dealership replaced my negative cable after it tested bad. No more service stabiltrack service safety restraint system. I never had issues with power steering going out though.

Everything points to the recall. Just hate it when they cut corners and recalls can only be done through a dealer

I don't think it points to the steering recall. I think it either points to battery cables like 2018GMC mentions or the G218 ground problem like I mentioned. There is even a service bulletin on it that lists 4 causes. One of them has already been ruled out as you know the battery is good. The G218 can be ruled out by you as well if you check it.

I may be wrong but shouldn't it have been at 0 and no resistance? Did you remove the bolt and make sure that the ring is making good contact with bare metal? Also, from what I have seen, there is another identical ground on passenger side as well.

It makes positive contact and tight. By the battery there is a jumper to the distribution block that sits on top of the battery that i ohm. I need another set of hands to start the truck and check.for voltage drop. Give that to my mechanic since none of this would be covered through gm.

The one I'm talking about is a negative ground. You would check it by putting one probe on the nut and another on something metal under the dash.

Didn't do that, checked for insulation being under it and if it was tight and came loose.

      Can ask that about a lot of places.   Holiday sells 91 for $1 over 87 octane. BP 93 is 80 cents. Amoco 93 is 80 cents Kwik Trips is $1.20 for 92 or whatever they have and $1 for the 91.   I know that this is not exactly same as what you are saying with the premium to premium debate of those two stations but why is there such a difference. Top Tier this and that, it's all BS. All the fuel comes from the same damn refinery, so give me a break.

      Why does Mobil Premium cost 90 cents a gallon more than Shell Premium when their regular offerings are but pennies apart?

      Was all the way down to $3.69 a gallon but then jumped back to $3.99 just because for some reason.   Diesel floats between $4.80's to $5.10ish a gallon. I even saw Diesel #1 for $6.09 today but nobody in there right mind even buys that in the summer.

      OTA updates and radio still cuts out

      Mine just keeps lagging or getting stuck on the reverse camera. When I turn off the truck, get out, and close the door it will still stay on. It’s very intermittent and I would not be able to duplicate the issue.

      I was checking out fuel prices at my farm fuel retailer at their pumps and yes the farm price is a bit lower than the non dyed fuel and was glad to see that the regular farm gas price has dropped a lot from what it had been but what blew me away was the price of diesel as the spread now compared to before the prices went up earlier in the year, diesel was actually slightly lower than gas which was a switch from the theme the last number of years. However that sure isn't the theme lately and definitely not right now. The prices I will post are not from that retailer but just looking at gasbuddy for the main city in this area and instead of posting the lowest price someone found I will list the higher price ( and that may not be the highest price, just whatever someone posted on gasbuddy ).   So regular gas and there are a lot of stations listing the same price for regular is 1.68 a liter, premium 2.00 a liter. Diesel 2.03 a liter for a top price I saw on diesel.   Figures out to 6.36 a us gallon Canadian funds for regular and 7.68 for diesel. With the US exchange rate it would be 4.58 us for regular and 5.53 for diesel.    Thought I would figure that out to get a picture of what it settles out like compared to various US prices and its about the same as the current price in Fairbanks AK as Anchorage tends to be lower. So yes, these would be the prices and higher along the way on the Alaska highway where they know they have a captured market !, for fuel prices for those beginning the long drive back to the lower 48   The problem is our Canadian dollar and going to the states that have the high prices, boy do we pay then !
