Hey all, I am upgrading to a phone with no headphone jack (an annoying downgrade on that front) and now am seruose about adding BT audio to my factory system. I don't use the XM connection, so would be happy to replace that with an aftermarket BT audio module, but want everything else stock...
Hi all,
I have a ‘11 Avalanche that has been mine for about a year. I live in West Africa most of the time, and that’s where the vehicle has been for the last several months. Having it on the rough roads over here has shown some of the parts (of an otherwise tough vehicle) that seem to have...
Thank you all for your concern and advice. I think I was looking at the stick without enough light and just noticing the dirty streaks on it. When I wipe it off, there are black streaks but the fluid itself it definitely dark pink.
I've got the stuff ordered, so I'll do the home filter and...
Interesting. I don't notice any hesitation or slipping while shifting. The DIC reported trans temp is right around 120F when on the highway (not towing, obviously). So I don't see any warning signs that are making me ask this question. It's just that after I send it over to Africa, this kind of...
I realize there are conflicting schools of thought on older transmissions and whether it's better to just leave them alone or try to service them. Advise specifically related to these transmissions is welcome.
I bought a 2011 Avalanche with 140,000 miles. I have no service records for it. I'm...
I'm not doubting your numbers, but curious where you got them? I ask because I just got done doing rear diff pinion seal and an axle seal/bearing. I put 2qt and 15oz in the diff after draining it, because I had read on some other forum that it needed almost 3 qts. I'm sure I overfilled it, I'm...
I just got off of the phone with the dealership this morning, having called because I need to do my front. They said the old non synthetic 80w90 part number for front diff oil has been superseded by p/n 88900401, which if you search, is just full synthetic 75w90, same as the back.
Hmm.. this one came in a sealed AC Delco bag and sure looked the same. Maybe I just got a bad seal. I'll order another and try it again. I'll be much happier to replace the pinion seal than the axle seal which requires opening up the diff - so if one had to go bad, I'm glad it was this one...
Hi folks,
I just got done doing the rear diff pinion seal, diff oil change, and one of the rear axle seal/bearing combos. The diff is leaking from the pinion seal now more than it was before, when it was just weeping, haha... Not the direction I was hoping to head!
I suspect two things:
1)...
I have an '11 LTZ that had poorly repaired rear quarter panel damage. One of the things that wasn't fixed correctly was the rear bumper. The one they replaced the damaged one with is from an LT, so there's no place for the backup sensors to mount.
I have the backup camera, so I'm not actually...
Ok, thanks. Once I hear back from him whether he's willing to license the design so I can have it made locally the way I want or not, I'll let you know. Thanks!
Thanks, that does look like just what I'm looking for. I think I'd prefer to have mine made out of stainless though, so I emailed the seller to ask if they'd license their design for one time use.
I agree, the louvering isn't going to add any airflow or anything.
This line isn't wet on either side of this spot, so I have to assume the leak is coming from the connection. Is this trans cooler? There doesn't seem to be anything to tighten up. Do I just replace the line?
Are you happy with the one you got? I would happily pay for one someone had already gone to the trouble of designing, I just didn't find any good ones for unlifted trucks.
Do you mind posting a link?
I could also take the measurements and do the drawing if others were interested in having...
