As I said it is not throwing any codes.

I just bought a 2000 K2500 Classic with the 454 and 4L80e. After a few months the tranny acts like it is going into limp mode. It has only happened running on long trips and I can not make it happen on command, it seems random. When pulling a steep hill sometimes it will downshift and not go...

On another note, I've seen K1500 Suburbans for sale around here that have 8 lug axles/wheels. Almost every one, if not every single one.

Passlock Learn Proceedure from 1998 C/K Service manual. I guess it carries over to the 2000 Classics: 1. Attempt to start the vehicle (will start & stall), after engine stalled leave the ignition ON for 10 minutes (the secuirity light will remain ON for 10 minutes and go OFF). 2. After the...

I wonder what sooted/sheared oil would do in combination with being thinned out with MMO. I still doubt it would wear bearings out that fast though. If your talking about down there in Chapel Hill, NC that makes a small world.

One thing I always heard was to pour some oil into a new turbo before you crank/run it. Maybe that didn't get done?

Thats cool. The most I have ever used it for is to soak the pistons/rings in the mid 90's saturn motors to help with the oil consumption. I don't understand the theory behind it, but it does work for a while. The last one was burning oil so bad that the MMO would drain past the pistons into...

No it don't. One reason I didn't put it in till the oil change was comin' up. Definatley not saying it wern't the culprit, just it didn't kill mine for those few miles.

I had a lifter gummed up one time making a noise so I ran some through the truck for 100 or so miles, but then I changed the oil right after it cleared up. That was a few thousand miles ago and the GM-X is still running. IDK much about turbos and such, but I ain't never had lubricating trouble...

Just got done with my BS in Civil Engineering yesterday. Hopefully I will get good news soon about passing my EIT certification. Supposed to be taking the Fundimentals of Surveying exam this fall too.

I've compared the 6.5L and DMAX Wix/NAPA Gold filters in store and they are almost exactly the same size also. Plus I have bought them off of ebay in the master packs for a little cheaper than I could have gotten them around here. Being out of the states it might be worth looking into that. Just...

I usually use Wix for everything, or NAPA Gold...same thing. I am going to start running Amsoil on my next oil change.

I put mine in the turbo right past where it bolts to the exhaust manifold. Seemed easier and safer since I already had the turbo off.

IDK what the 2 people before me did to the truck cranking wise. The ACDelco that was on it says its a reman. I've got fresh injectors in it and duraterms so it cranks for me quicker than my 350's, atleast now that the weather is warm.

Yeah, If I do anything electrical (like the starter) I like to unhook the negative terminals. I'm Graduating this Saturday and will hopefully have a full-time job and some money to throw around starting in June... Needless to say I have a lot of projects to work on. As a daily driver I'd like...
