Meet Uncle George! GMT400 93 Suburban: Rescue From The Weeds For a 500 Mile Road Trip! (To New Shop)

What happens here

Begin by assessing the overall condition of the 1995 GMC Suburban, noting its exterior (peeling paint) and interior (dirty but intact upholstery). Attempt to start the vehicle by turning the key in the ignition to confirm the battery is dead. Once confirmed, use a wrench to loosen and remove the battery terminals, then use a socket wrench with the appropriate socket to remove the battery hold-down clamp. Carefully lift and remove the old battery from the engine bay.

Goal: Determine vehicle's initial state and remove the dead battery.

Tools and materials

  • Socket — Matching the battery hold-down bolt size
  • Socket Wrench — Removing the battery hold-down clamp
  • Wrench — Loosening and tightening battery terminals
