    How to clean coated pistons without damaging the coating?

    This could be interesting. I get the idea that we're supposed to modify our own titles, but I don't know how, either. joe

    07 oil dipstick in12 5.3

    The first measurements I'd be looking at are the cross-hatching and their distance from the low end of the stick. joe

    Courtesy light issue

    Two weeks ago, I had either an intermittent parasitic drain or some kind of reverse current. It was killing my battery. A prior owner had replaced all interior lights with LEDs, and one of them went bad. A return to all OEM lighting fixed it. joe

    Just bought a 2012 Z-something Tahoe and may have lied to by dealer? An engine idle thimg.

    LOL, it's probably just our ears cutting out. joe

    V Escalade - Loud at Startup

    I think way too many people are lemmings, scurrying from fad to fad, searching for an identity. joe

    No insult is intended here, but that reminds me of exhaust leak. joe

    V Escalade - Loud at Startup

    LOL, my ears perk right up when I hear a Harley in the distance. 1000 memories of 1000 rides flood right up. joe

    V Escalade - Loud at Startup

    You know, even in high school, when glass packs [Thrush and Cherry Bombs around here] were very popular, I never wanted a loud car. First, I didn't want to advertise that I was street racing. Second, the noise never appealed to me. I wanted to be able to hear the machine. And the stereo. :)...

    No, but stocking up on spares wouldn't be bad. joe

    Key Fob Battery

    I understand, and was playing. Seriously though, there are enough variables involved that I would just get another battery. Two years from a $5 battery isn't awful. That may not solve your problem, but it seems that the odds are pretty good. joe

    BREAKING: GM is officially recalling the L87

    If they didn't change the oil, doesn't that mean that YOU let it get nasty? joe

    Brake Pedal Vibration

    I could be way off here, but it seems that maybe you're panicking a bit, because your input is coming in spurts. If I'm right, just relax enough to organize your thoughts before you post. If I'm wrong, just ignore me. :) FWIW, I think these guys are giving you very good feedback. joe

    SOLVED: 1998 Tahoe 5.7L - Strange Coolant Leak From Above Oil Filter

    It still makes no sense to me, but it's ok. I've seen both movies. I didn't know about the books, but he sounds like my kind of smart ass. joe

    SOLVED: 1998 Tahoe 5.7L - Strange Coolant Leak From Above Oil Filter

    SOLVED: 1998 Tahoe 5.7L - Strange Coolant Leak From Above Oil Filter

    Meaning that they don't leak? Don't use freeze plugs? Don't need hammers? joe

    Electrical components life span?

    I have read that failed solder joints is a new problem area. The increased quantity of electronic stuff has connection issues; especially under the hood, where the harsh environment attacks solder joints. Also, some claim that the quality, of the solder itself and/or the workmanship of the...

    Driver didn’t pay attention. Not he will pay for it

    I've got no sympathy for him. And there was more than 8mph between you and him. joe

    New Tires Installed, New Vibration

    How is 'FULL' injected into road force balancing? Is it more of your insisting it be done right? joe

    I'm glad to know that. My latest was a year ago, and I still had to drink that 'salty Lemon Pledge' tasting crap. joe

    Useless Information

    LOL, on my '87 K-5 Blazer, a cop said the hose clamp, that held a tach to my steering column, was one of the best anti-theft devices I could have. joe

    2007 Tahoe Sporadic Parasitic Battery Drain

    This is from way out in left field, but you never know... Pearl lives plugged into a battery tender when not being driven, because she sometimes sits for weeks without being driven. Last week, the battery [new, btw] was stone-cold dead. It took a couple of days to determine that a prior owner...

    New Tires Installed, New Vibration

    That's a good point; but be aware of the possibility that the dealer's incompetent or crooked. Maybe a visit to a different dealer... joe
