You will learn quickly that the stupid Stabilitrak error message will come on for almost every issue you have regardless if it's related or not. Every issue I've ever had with my 2007 Burb that has been mechanic in nature has thrown this the Stabilitrak message. It means nothing essentially.

I've owned a 1975 Chevy C-10, a 1976 GMC C-35 and a 1984 K-10 short bed fleetside. They were much easier to work on, although they had their issues. The burb rides better and gets better gas mileage than all but the C-10 (it was a stripped 250 I6 with 3 on a tree), but it also costs a small fortune to fix anything out of warranty. The K-10 had a 700R4. Nothing more to say but that.
All that said, if I got another truck, it would be a Ford F-150 or a Toyota. If it's a car, I'd get a Challenger RT.

Yeah, I LOVE my '77. It'll eventually get passed on to my boys once I'm too old to drive it and/or wrench on it as I've put too much time, money and energy into getting it where it's at to let some other person drive away with it.
It doesn't drive bad but drives like a truck should IMO
I also love our Suburban and I haven't had that many problems with it (owned it for 3 years now) but that stabilitrak message is extremely annoying when it does pop up. I'll never own a Ford or Toyota truck or Dodge for that matter. All makes/models/era of truck has it's pros and cons. I'll always be a GM guy.

This is my first post on this forum. I have a 2007 Tahoe and I love my car! Today however it started running weird and it has me freaking out. Of course I just paid it off. Today my car started having the shakes when I would come to a stop. It felt as though it would stall. When I would accelerate, it was catching and would drive funny. My stabilatrak light came on and said service stabilatrak system. Any ideas?

Speaking from experience, 99% chance the scanner is gonna indicate a misfire. This by itself not very helpful - many things can cause a misfire. Does the problem go away at all or is it all the time? Does your Tahoe have AFM? My problem was caused by one of the AFM lifters sticking open - causing no compression - hence the misfire. Dealer replaced all of the lifters on that side of the motor. Weeks later same problem returned, in the end they wound up changing the plugs - problem solved.
