    Time for a tune up I guess.

    11 - 15 ft/lbs. wouldn’t go too much tighter than that. If they have never been changed in 180K then, yeah they’re going to probably feel like they’re welded in place. Hopefully you did the passenger side first. lol.

    New oil change price at dealer!

    Hm. Just asking cause years ago i considered getting a drum to pull from and i read the shelf life isn’t very long (crude may last forever but the processed oil for modern engines, specifically).. something about additives or something breaking down. Sealed container maybe alright but how do...

    Installing a backup fuel pump

    I like the idea in theory. It’s kind of like the old pickup trucks that used to have two gas tanks. One goes out, flip a switch and go. Maybe a more practical idea to have a small reserve fuel tank with its own pump installed rather than try to run two separate pumps from one tank. Of course...

    Time for a tune up I guess.

    apparently ac/delco or GM genuine does not include the heat shields in the wire packs for your vintage truck. They can be had for a hefty 4.59 /each (generic brand can be had much cheaper) . RA does have iridium plugs for your truck, but they aren’t delco. Probably because double plats were...

    Advice on when to sell (turned into oil deep dive)

    I mean what are you going to replace it with The evil you know . . . That being said, reliability is more important to most people than keeping an older vehicle on the road, particularly people transporting a young family or using the vehicle to commute to a job they can’t afford to lose...

    Time for a tune up I guess.

    Just get ac/delco wire kit & plugs from rockauto and you’ll be ready to roll. You can use boot puller pliers for the heat shields but I’ve used all sorts of pliers over the years to get the boots off. If you get genuine ac/delco wire kit they usually include new heat shields, so ruining the...

    BREAKING: GM is officially recalling the L87

    I wasn’t advocating for selling to private party. That’s what I was advocating against. . . (Well, that and trading to a dealer.)

    BREAKING: GM is officially recalling the L87

    “Rarely offer” as in: confirming that they sometimes offer more for outright purchase than trade in.. that’s my point . . . I’m just telling you all what I’ve seen and dealt with and experienced first hand. Not hearsay from someone else, therefore — disclaimer — results may vary.

    BREAKING: GM is officially recalling the L87

    don’t be so daft my friend. If you think wasting time with tire-kickers and other cesspits off Craigslist until you finally find a serious buyer is the only way to get decent return on your vehicle you need to step out of the Square Body Age. Vehicles are depreciating assets, they lose value...

    BREAKING: GM is officially recalling the L87

    Well for one, i could list a zillion reasons why I’d rather sell to a dealer than an individual.. like seriously And secondly, I’ve had dealers beat offers from carmax, when presented with the written offer from CM, as far as purchasing directly so, yeah And yes, dealers will pay you more for...

    BREAKING: GM is officially recalling the L87

    And you didn’t take it and run with it? Surprised they offered to give you that much on a trade. There’s a difference between turning a profit and being straight up insulting. Which in itself if a pretty stupid proposition if you think about it.. example: Same dealer, same vehicle: A.)...

    New member here trying to decide if I should delete the AFM or not. Engine is currently apart.

    Cause eventually it will fail, so why have that in the back of your head before taking your family on a , let’s say, 1000 mile round trip. A dropped lifter can ruin your day in more ways than one.

    Yea direct injection kind of sucks. More over complicated bs to save 2 drips of fuel over the lifetime of a vehicle.

    Potential buyer… issues online from loud minority or reason for concern?

    The actual language used in the headline says: “US consumers keep vehicles for a record 12.5 years on average: S&P“ But unfortunately the article is locked behind a paywall so we can’t see all of what’s being said. there’s no doubt that duration of ownership and longer lasting vehicles in...

    2015 Tahoe LTZ - towing car ??

    I doubt he’ll have to worry about that. What if you’re going to use the trailer to tow a vehicle you are going to buy and do not yet have any documents for it? When i bought my Jeep Cherokee , i rented the U-Haul trailer to go pick it up. They did ask what kind of vehicle i was towing with...

    2015 Tahoe LTZ - towing car ??

    Most trucks have the 7 pin set up, not the 4 pin. That’s because the 7 pin is superior and can be used with heavier trailers. Both my Tahoe and Silverado only have 7 pin set ups. If your trailer has 4 pin, you’ll need the adapter. My old f250 had both. 4 pins are usually for smaller...

    Missing axle nut

    I third the notion that this is the best car forum I’ve come across. I’ve said it several times myself, ‘cus it’s true. There is a great community here and the veteran members don’t take themselves too seriously like most forums. I’ve asked questions for other make vehicles on this forum and...

    you need to get a 7 way (round) to 4 way (flat) adapter for your trailer lights if you trailer has the 4 pin set up.

    BREAKING: GM is officially recalling the L87

    1. ) do you think that onStar monitoring alone would be able to tell the weight of the oil, and when it was changed, among other things. Personally i do not see onStar being that capable for finer details such as that. Many have speculated that GM itself would probably have no clue what weight...
