What happens if my GMC R1500 Suburban spark plugs fail?

When it’s time to replace the spark plugs, don’t delay. These small (but vital!) parts provide the electric spark that your car needs in order to start, and old spark plugs can prevent your car from starting at all. Replace spark plugs on time or about every 30,000 miles or so.

What do I do if I see a pool of liquid under my GMC R1500 Suburban?

Puddles could indicate an oil leak, coolant leak, or brake fluid leak– all of which can critically hurt your engine. Have your engine inspected as soon as you spot a pool of liquid in your usual parking spot.

Are hard starts and stops bad for my GMC R1500 Suburban engine?

Hard stops and starts can lead to premature wear on your engine’s components. Lighten up that lead foot and opt for steady, fluid starts and stops instead. Your engine (and your passengers!) will thank you.

Engine Tune-Up for GMC R1500 Suburban

Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care offers a range of engine tune-up services for your 1989 GMC R1500 Suburban. One option is the standard Firestone Tune-Up.

The second service focuses on your R1500 Suburban's filters, specifically replacing the air filter and fuel filter. The third tune-up option is a fuel system cleaning service, which is a three-step process that removes varnish, dirt, and carbon deposits on your R1500 Suburban's fuel injectors, throttle body, and throttle plate. The result? Restored fuel system performance. Keep in mind that your R1500 Suburban's mileage and maintenance history can uniquely impact its tune-up needs. This means that a tune-up service that’s a great fit for another car may not be optimal for yours.
