    How do you put the valve cover grommets in on a 5.3 liter engine?

    How do you put the valve cover grommets in on a 5.3 liter engine? Does anyone know the trick for putting these grommets in ? 2004 aluminum covers. Watched some YouTube videos but apparently everybody either doesn't replace these or doesn't show how to replace them.

    After purchasing my 2004 Chevy Suburban I found out the rear glass hatch wouldn't open with the button. I took the rear trim piece off that surrounds the hatch. After looking at the opposite of the button I could see there was a shaft that came out that had a little lever on the end of it and...

    Noticed a rusty orange color inside oil cap and down filler tube.

    Noticed a rusty orange color inside oil cap and down in the tube Was quite alarming at first. Googled it and the consensus seems to be it generally is the result of driving short trips and condensation forming. I do drive about 5 miles each way each day so that part would make sense but I find...

    Can't seem to find this spec anywhere GM's service manuel online only shows what the pressure should be with the key on and engine off "VIN Z Ethanol: 335–375 kPa (48–54 psi) " no where does it tell what a engine at idle should be producing. Here is what I currently get: Key on pressure engine...

    Any ideas on best fuel pump for the money.

    Thinking I may need a new fuel pump and I have been trying to figure out what brand to buy and where to buy it. I have the Z flex fuel engine as it seems to require a different pump than the T engine. My first inclination is to use ACDelco or Delphi. Do you know if the Z engine has 2 metal tubes...

    Can you put GM truck rims on GM SUV's?

    I see a lot of people advertising truck rims as fitting Suv"s but when I look up sizes on Wheel-size.com I find the center bore on my suburban to be 78.3 and trucks to be 78.1 so if this site is acurate I don't know how they would fit. Can anyone shed some light on this for me?
