The dealer has not been able to trace the glitch and the vehicle is not under warranty. The comment from the techs was to turn up the volume on the radio....
Thanks for your time and help.

Here's the deal on the 2003 VIN (Z) (L59) fuel filter. I just changed mine. This topic may even relate to the 00-04 Z71's, but I know for sure 2003's. I also had to buy the fuel filter from GM. You will need a special tool as standard fuel line disconnects will not work. It's a $40 piece of plastic that looks like a fuel line disconnect however, it is different. I found the number in my Service Manual which I bought from Helm Inc.
It's a "J-46363 Fuel Line Release Tool."
Finding this tool is next to impossible. After many hours of searching the net I came up with this information and though it would be important to share. You can only buy it from this place. SPX Kent-Moore Tools
You have to call the number and give them the tool # you want. Otherwise the dealer will have to change your filter for you as there is no other way to do it.
Good Luck, I'm due to change too.
thanks,

I am new to this forum. I have a 2000 chevy suburban LT . I love it. I have a question for those who work on their burbs themselves. Is it worth for me to take my burb in for the throttle body to be cleaned or is this something that is relatively easy to do ??
My gas pedal has been sticking awfully and I read on this forum and someplace else that this will solve the problem.
thanks in advance

About two months ago I noticed a "rattelling/squeeking" sound comming from under the front carriage of my 2003 suburban> Sounded like the "chirping" you hear from the brakes when worn but woulddissapear after 1/10th of a mile or so. No specific reason or conditions it would appear under but it was loud and very noticable. Had brakes, new tires, and front end redone- no luck! still there- ideas?
On our '04 Suburban, as soon as it's warmed up, you can hear the LOUD popping from the exhaust both when driving slowly, and especially when stopped and idling. Our '02 Avalanche was absolutely silent, but this thing, as we refer to it, sounds like a "popcorn popper".
Some have found the only true fix is to replace the stock system with an aftermarket cat-back one, but we have no desire to do so. If GM had an actual fix, we'd take it in, but as of now, it's still considered an "engineers still working on it" issue.
oxygen sensors have been changed, along with the fuel pressure regulator about a week ago. Help please. ed1369
any info is appreciated
Thanks
As far as the difficulty level, I'm not too sure. But I would at lease attempt it along with the help of my Chilton's Repair Manual.
