My son just picked up a suburban.. and I am thinking this problem has been solved .. but so far I havn't found the fix.. do any of you have experience with this problem..?
95 Suburban 5.7 Ltr. Automatic transmission, about 250K miles. The first thing noticed was that the little orange indicator that tells you what gear you're in was gone. both the Speedo and the Tach were not functioning at all. All other dash lights and gauges were working. transmission was not shifting. It sounded fine, but would obviously start out in a higher gear and stay there, no downshift or upshift. The vehicle had been working flawlessly to that point. all the fluids and fuses, no problems there.
Possible speed sensor. Just had mine replaced this weekend. 98 chev cheyenne pickup. Trans would not shift, speedo would bounce around ABS would chatter but only sometimes, check engine light on
The dash clusters in those older Gms were famous for having problems with the driver motors on the printed circuit board,can be readily purchased on EBay if you don't mind soldering them in yourself! As for the transmission, can't help there..might be related but also may be just coincidental!
