Technical Service Bulletin: Suburban Brakes

Technical Service Bulletin: Suburban Brakes Group: alt.autos.4x4.chevy-trucks Date: Tue, Oct 21, 2003, 10:28pm (CDT+5) From: snipped-for-privacy@nospam.net (Jabs) I have a 97 Chevy Suburban K2500 with a 7.4L engine and I go through front brake pads every 10K to 15K miles. I just discovered a TSB concerning this problem (TSB #99-05-24-001A). However, I'm not sure if replacing the "combination valve" applies to my Suburban. The TSB states that the combination valve to use is P/N#12548265. However, I have called 2 different dealers (parts dept) in my area and both of them say this P/N is for a 1/2-ton with a 5.7L engine. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Jabs

Yeah that is true...Just call up the service dept and give them your vin #.. Then they can tell you of any TSB'S Brake related to your truck.. Or you could just buy the Valve for your Burb and see if it solves the problem...

I looked up that TSB in Mitchell On-Demand. That is the part nr. How 'bout telling the idiot parts guy to just sell you the damn part? Ran into the same problem parts idiot with an S-10 Blazer that I had done some mod's on. He wouldn't sell me the part cause it wasn't for my vehicle!
