    Ignition problem 93 suburban 1500

    Went to the shop today. They got in a distributor from their supplier, dropped it in and set timing, and the truck fired right up. I am very upset at O'Reilly autoparts, Advance Autoparts, and AutoZone. A few months back while I was deployed, my wife started having problems with the truck...

    Hey folks, need some help: Just returned from a deployment and my truck sat for 10 months. Was driving it the other day, had it in park. When I shifted back into drive, the truck turned off. We troubleshot it, and the distributor module went bad, which burned out the ignition coil. Replaced...
