    Is it fixable the mechanic that replaced the new parts just could not fix it every time he fix it I would pick it up and that same day it would break again when I put the key in to start it would not start it would make this bad noise that sounded like you were dragging the motor the mechanic would replace the parts again because he said that the teeth of the flywheel and starter would break. the mechanic put new parts 3 times I gave up on both the chevy and the mechanic what should I do?

SOURCE: I replaced my starter for a 98 chevy suburban 2

Possible not shimmed correctly. The starter teeth have to engage correctly for the starter not to hang up. That's what probably happened & broke teeth off. You had better check your flywheel around the entire circumfrence as teeth may be missing from it as well. Starter won't engage if teeth and flywheel teeth in same spot are broken off. If the flywheel teeth are bad, it will be a spendy fix to put a new one on... Rick

SOURCE: i am trying to remove my fuel tank from a 96 chevy suburban and replace the fuel pump

ok i'm going to guess that you have a gasoline engine with a side tank like in a pickup truck. if you have a diesel let me know, things might be a little different. here's the step by step for a gas side tank. before you start, disconnect the battery negative cable.
1. drain the fuel from the tank (they don't tell you how, just get as much out as you can)
2.raise and safely support vehicle (get it high enough that you can get under it to work on it)
3.loosen the fuel neck hose at fuel neck and disconnect filler neck from tank
4.support tank and remove tank support straps and insulator strips
5.remove frame mounted bracket
6.lower fuel tank shield
7.lower fuel tank enough to gain access to fuel and electrical connections
8.disconnect fuel feed and vapor hoses
9.disconnect electrical connectors
10.remove fuel sender assembly and seal ring
now to install new tank
1.install NEW seal ring and install sender
2.raise tank enough to connect fuel feed /vapor hoses and electrical connector
3.raise tank fully
4.install fuel tank shield
5.connect fuel tank filler neck and tighten clamp
CAUTION tighten fuel strap fasteners in steps, alternating between straps, until proper torque is reached. failure to properly follow this step can cause bottom of tank to deform. fuel gauge may read improper level if this occurs
6.install fuel tank brackets and insulator strips
torque nuts to 115 in-lbs
7.install fuel tank filler cap
8.connect battery negative cable
9.turn ignition switch off and on and check for leaks
it's pretty much the same for rear tank, just different location, may have off-road shield in back and torque spec is 47 ft-lbs, not 115 in-lbs. you still have to alternate when you torque straps or you risk deforming tank. hope that helps

Looks like ignition current is not being available to fire the fuel/air injected mixture from the plugs. Remove the cable tip which connects TO any plug. Hold the cable tip to any metal part of the engine block or any part of the body where the metal is exposed(not painted). Ask a friend to turn the ignition for starting the engine(vehicle). If the cable tip produces sparks, then the induction coil is OK, but since you have stated that clicking sound is heard which is actually the relay's which tries to get the induction coil to generate high current required for producing the spark to ignite the fuel & air mixture in each cylinder, thus starting the combustion required to turn the engine & subsequently power. So check the induction, belt tightness and finally the "Distributor"in the sequence as stated and you will be able to diagose which one of the above are malfunctioning............sodeep

SOURCE: 96 chevy monte carlo 3.1 wont start

check to see if the wire is broken for the passlock/passkey system in the ignition lock cylinder, its common for the copper wire to seperate inside the insulation, when you tilt the column it could have been pushing the wires together enough to touch inside the insulation

Chevy 350 flywheel

most starters are the same on chevy 350s should bolt right up, if you have to change torque converter, but most chevy 350 flywheels are universal. that's the good thing about a chevy most everything 350 smallblock bolts right up. hope this helps

96 Chevy Suburban going up hill the battery light starts flashing and the battery gauge drops. As soon as you level off it all goes back to normal. Have already changed battery, alternator and a wire

Wow, thats pretty weird.
The only thing that comes to mind is a bad connection in the harness somewhere that would be affected by engine torque.
Can you make it happen if you power-brake the engine ?

Wont start or even turn and has a new engine

could be a number of things check battery first to see if there is power at the battery then check power at starter if that is okay then see if you can hear the starter engaging. if there is unusual noise then the starter may now be engaging with the flywheel correctly do to either bad teeth on starter or a warped flywheel. if the flywheel is new also don't let that fool you Ive seen new flywheels be warped many times but with out seeing the vehicle this is all i can come up with if the motor is not turning hope it helps

Good indication of a bad starter. Is it just clicking or is it a grinding ugly noise?. The second is definately the starter.
