Is it better to rebuild or to purchase a re-manufactured?
#542
again, go with re-manufactured. It's a job best left for the big boys who do thousands of them on an assembly line, with proper testing and quality control. You will know that everything was replaced, not just whatever the re-builder felt like or had on hand. You will also get a good guarantee, and a good shop will guarantee the labour as well. It's good peace of mind.
(by the way, these big suppliers are where the dealerships get their engines. I don't think GM rebuilds engines themselves).
Few of these small time shops know how to do it properly. You never know what you're getting, or if it'll fail a few months down the road because they left a bad part in it.

Every time I start my '07 Burban (even sitting at idle) the bell starts chiming and the triangle sign and the warning reads "service stabilitrak" then "traction control (off)" activates within a few seconds. This keeps going on and off as I am driving and when its in the off position the trans shifts gears very hard. Looking trough the "www.chevroletforum.com" site, I can see that this had been a problem in the past with 2003 and up, and there are many people talking about this issue with their trucks, but I have not come across anyone who can give the answer on how to resolve this problem. HELP!!!
Thank you!

Have your entire electrical system inspected by a trustworthy mechanic. It solved my same issue.

For Stabilitrack and Traction control to work properly , those systems rely on inputs from wheel speed sensors.
Most vehicles run a static test of the system as soon as the key is turned on and if it senses something is wrong it will let the operator know via the warning lamps.
We don't know if someone worked on those systems recently or if good maintenance was ignored
. A good shop with the right equip and experience should be able to repair this problem without much trouble.

Wheel speed sensors, wiring fault, throttle position sensor, very slightly stretched timing chain affecting the VVT...many things, Any sensor item can cause this GM computer default. I higher end diagnostic system will help pin it down. Most folks don't have one of those. High end technical shop, dealership will. You could get lucky on the first guess try, or start running down the rabbit hole. Unfortunately many shops are pull and replace from best guess.
Best of luck to you
