Graphie color? pictures must do an injustice, looked blue to me. It would be more acceptable with pewter, but a blue interior and goldish exterior, just yuk! Maybe I need to change out my eyes.

Look deeper! I have never seen that interior/exterior color combination. If you could see it up close I would check for possible extensive body/frame damage to warrant a color change. For me it screams run away!!!

Copied from the torq-lock owners manual. The difference between the AutoLoc and TorqLoc is that the AutoLoc automatically controls the TCC lock up signal once it receives a power signal from the exhaust brake switch and the TorqLoc has a manual position, automatic (or AutoLoc position)...

I would do a compression check, this is how I found my blowby issues

thanks guys, graduating up from the 6.5L where temps had to be kept in the arctic zone, I wont worry too much about it then.

driving my new to me '06 cc around town (unloaded) on streets and highway and the coolant temp is hanging just under the 210 mark ambient temp today was 82 degrees. Just wondering if this is normal for this particular engine, seems a bit high to me.

___________________________________________________ Maybe????? The new CA law states 1998 and newer diesels, but it may change in years to come to include some type of checking on the older diesels. I would say that they will change the date to inclued 94-up diesels as they were the first Gm...

Most likely because it came from out of state. I had to have a inspection when I bought my sub from washington and registered it here in Commiefornia.

Good to hear, I only fear that'll get worse when they get used to doing the diesels on a regular basis.

wish mine did, he just keeps uping his rates. paid 92 bucks to do my 88 ranger, my wifes buick is bigger than the ranger :)

Revenue generators Just another way to soak us for more money. To top it off you probably got nailed for the truck rate to boot.

my 88 ranger 2.8l does the same thing- hard o-ring. had the same puzzeled question about it. puuled the pan and no water just clean engine parts, but the oil fill on the cover was just nasty.

Check the o-ring or gasket on the oil fill cap, it either hard or missing allowing condesation to merge with the cooling oil vapors at the fill. this will give you that sludge also. Like stated above, rule out any loss of coolant with the simple coolant system pressure tester. these can be...

The 1500 suburban IS a 2500 chassis. The only difference is the 3.42 gear ratio which limits the GVW to 7200lbs (IIRC). The reason GM did this was to comply with "X" amount of vehicles to fit in a different catagory for emissions compliance. Now the extent of emmision compliance varied amongst...

did you replace the electronic filter harnes on the IP? it doesn't come with the New IP. (Copied from another site) A failing filter harness can set codes 17 and 18. It can cause stalling after startup, hesitation and occasional 'fish byte' missfire ( one solid miss that commonly occurs at...

Not sure yet. I'm a die hard General Motors guy, so it's hard for me to look any other direction but into the D-max crowd, just not wild about the prices they want for them.

Well after a long hard look at the trucks woe's, the amount it would cost to repair/replace and the realistic logical thinking of what I put it through. I decide to have my co-worker take it to auction and sell her off. I took all of the good add-on stuff off (one of the auction houses...

Commifornia Smog Laws California is looking for the simple stuff on the diesels. If it came equipped with a turbo and as long as it looks like it is somewhat factory installed then you will be good. EGR delete will get you nailed so all "s" code engines better have the EGR and better have a...

Option priority change! Well did my compression check today.......... engine IS toast! Following the GM engine books procedure of doing a compression check and all cylinders should be in the 380-400psi range. Here are the numbers: #1-350lb #2-360lb #3-380lb #4-355lb #5-340lb #6-...
