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.

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Tyler Gibbs · Posted

      The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.

      Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that.

      "Life is getting back to normal."    I'm driving again and all new joints are operating as expected for this stage of recovery.   My most recent joint replacement still requires a lot of attention but experience has taught me that time will quiet the remaining pain.  I joked with my surgeon that another joint replacement would take my mind off my most recent surgery and he responded by saying the next will be a hip!  There are no plans for another surgery but, unlike me, I don't think he was joking!  I certainly wouldn't refuse further replacement  if required but hope to spend time out of the "post-op"  period.  I can't stress enough that if you have been recommended for total hip, knee or shoulder replacement that you welcome the offer.  Post-op "recovery" may sound daunting and painful, however, this is far better than the insidious erosion of mobility you are currently experiencing.  Imagine what it would feel like to wake up most mornings feeling better and more mobile than you did the previous day!  Prior to my first surgery in June 2025, even getting out of bed was becoming a formidable task.  Since the day after my first surgery, I get out of bed everyday easily and unassisted.  Making the switch to feeling a little better each day rather than a little worse, is hugely motivating!
