Why is my 04 Suburban bogging out?
Asked by Guru72Z6P Jun 18, 2020 at 12:10 PM about the 2004 Chevrolet Suburban 1500 LS 4WD
Question type: Maintenance & Repair
Fuel pump and fuel filter were replaced in my
04 Suburban, not too long ago. It will start
right up and run fine, had it running for 2
hours in the driveway the other day (forgot
about it) took it for a drive down the road and
it bogged out and died. Took the battery home
and charged it, reconnected it the next day,
started right up no problem, drive it a minute
down the road and it bogged out again and
died. Battery light came on this time. Any
ideas ??

I think it's most likely the alternator
Okay, thank you both! That was my first guess, but of course guys never think a girl is right I will change the alternator! Hopefully that does the trick!
Oh gosh no, I am saying me! I thought it was the alternator but of course the guys I said it to didn't think it was. ♀️ (I am a female)
I am mechanically inclined. Took auto for 3 years in school, got certified and all that good stuff. Still like to get advise and opinions from others that may know more than I do. But, I like to do all the work on my vehicles. Yes, hopefully I can prove them wrong! Thanks again!
Replaced the alternator, still not starting up. Any idea ?
Security light is on? Flashes when I lock and close all doors, but once I go to start it, it goes on and stays on, doesn’t flash. It’s solid ?
Yes, I did the relearn procedure. Okay, I will call a local dealer or shop and see who can do it. Thanks!
