Whenever I make a turn, especially a sharp turn, my truck shakes real bad and seems like it is going to die. It doesnt matter which way I turn, left or right. I also feel a difference when my foot is on the gas pedal. Please help! PS. I dont believe my tires are rubbing either.

Your suburban sounds like it is in 4 wheel drive or stuck in 4 wheel drive. Also, the actuator motor on the front differential may be bad.

Thanks for the response. I ended up taking my suburban into Pep Boys because I didnt feel safe driving it. Unfortunatley, the news was bad, the said my transmission is slipping, and all that wobeling when I turn its putting more pressure on it. NOw Im stuck with having to repair that. Also they found a leak in the exhaust, and the catalyst converter were not working! Nevers fails, right when your ready to pay somethg off, its like buying a new one.
