I have been using Fuelly for several years. It has a free (sometimes it tries to get you to go premium) and paid version but so far the free version has done me well. Tracks gas mileage, maintenance items and costs of things as well. I believe you can upload pics to it for invoices as well.
Yeah it's because of the different size. My dad found out the hard way it's a smaller pipe in the kit, but the muffler shop fit it up just fine for like $25 I think. I don't remember finding a kit for the 3.5" trucks because SLP doesn't offer their's anymore. But the 5.3 kit will work with...
Are you meaning because of where your's has started to rust or because of the difference in size? My dad used that kit on his 13 Denali with the bigger 3.5" exhaust and just had a muffler shop weld it on. Works great.
That’s actually a pretty interesting way to look at it. Thanks for this.
Are there any common rust areas to look out for on this gen? What about interior issues?
There have been I believe a few class action lawsuits over different 8 speed issues. Shuttering, slipping etc. I always understood it like the early 6 speed issues just more. Plus they are in relatively few vehicles compared to the 6 and 10 speeds so I feel like long term parts might be harder...
If you can afford the step up to one with a 10 speed then I highly suggest it. That trans is amazing. Sure it has some issues here and there but nothing like the 8 speed did and can easily be solved. Plus it always seems to be in just the right gear for what you need to do
Right now I have an 05 Tahoe which I like but age and the typical nbs issues (coolant seepage, abs pump issues, etc) and I am looking to upgrade. I found a 2015 Yukon with 147k on it locally that looks to be in very nice shape. Has all the options I want and they are asking just under $20k for...
Bringing this back up before I install the parts this weekend. I got 2 OEM GM tees and then also a pair of the metal Dorman 800-409HP fittings. I test fit one of the Dorman fittings on the new tees and it fit super loose on both. Is this normal? I feel like I might just send them back and...
One of my tees is leaking where the rear metal line connects to it and had already broken on the front like usual so I want to replace both tees. My truck has one black tee and one white tee. Everything I am finding online up until this morning was a white tee from gm. This morning in the big...
What rear springs would work to level a z71? I was thinking it would simply be by using base springs but will that level it? I would love to go lower but I don't really want to mess with changing much in the front end. I just want to get rid of the ugly rake and have a stock like ride.
I got sold a remote kill switch when I bought my first new car back in 2003 that required a small key fob to always be near the vehicle and it needed to be moved before it would energize the relay that was installed in the underwood fuse block. Those were the only parts to the system. Without...
So I am looking to do an ac rebuild on my truck and am looking for the correct size condenser. The one on my truck measures 30" core only but everything I am finding online shows that a truck with rear a/c controls needs a 35" core. There are 30" core condensers but they all say for trucks...
Pulled it off today and don't want to bother shipping it or dealing with that. If no one wants it within a couple weeks I am going to pitch it. Its in good shape and has all the parts. Just needs cleaned up a little and the bars repainted. Also chase the threads on a couple of the bolts...
I had headers and 3" exhaust on my old 5.3 Silverado and I didn't notice any lack of low-end torque. I also went with TSP headers over SE (I HATE the SE headers on my trans am) and a pacesetter off road y pipe (the TSP was out of stock at the time) to a single in and single out Borla xr1...
So I guess I should update this now that its fixed. New stock replacement (1500 without the oil cooler) AC Delco radiator and also swapped to constant tension worm style clamps and everything appears to be sealed up. There was quite a difference between the transmission cooler line fittings on...
Denso.
Got it because it seemed to have equally good reviews online plus has the factory oil cooler provisions for when I add that later. Didn’t even think to look for an oem 2500 radiator lol
So a little update but I replaced the lower hose and the clamps today and that seems to have fixed the coolant leak but found the new radiator has a leaking transmission cooler line fitting. It it leaking from where the fitting threads into the radiator so I have an email into the manufacturer...
So that's interesting you say that. I am also using a Melling pump and the only lines I didn't replace were going to the the t fittings at the firewall since they had been replaced a couple years ago. Those small fittings leaked as well and I had to add worm clamps to those a well. After I...
I think next weekend I'm gonna drain the coolant and pull the hose off. We used a mirror on a telescoping handle to be able to see it actually coming out of the hose. I originally thought it was where the end met the core but the person helping me could see it coming out of the hose itself...
So I replaced the entire cooling system a couple months ago because of a leaky water pump and high mileage. Used new continental hoses and a Denso brand stock replacement radiator. Earlier this week I walked out from work and noticed a couple puddles under the core support. After checking it...
