    Trouble Codes ..... Help

    Definetly was a U1800. Thanks for the info on the other codes. I asked AZ if they could reset them. When he tried, it was real strange. My fuel guage jumped and then showed empty. His scanner gave him an error and wouldn't read the errors again. As soon as he unplugged, my guage went to...

    Trouble Codes ..... Help

    I had a SES light come on so I had Autozone do a scan and got 5 codes returned. I never trust their code descriptions. Was hoping someone could give me GM's real description. The codes are; P0193 P0380 P0540 P0090 U1800 Thanks!

    Pulling a bumper hitch camper?

    Makes sense. I actually have an older one but the hitch comes straight out and my camper goes uphill to the truck.

    Pulling a bumper hitch camper?

    Perfect! Do you own one of these? I am wondering if the ball (Truck end) can be mounted horizontal instead of vertical as shown in the picture. If so, I might be able to attach it to my existing drop hitch.

    Pulling a bumper hitch camper?

    I have a 31' bumper hitch camper. I pulls pretty well but occasionaly, on windy days gets to swaying a bit. Does someone make just a sway bar without the load distribution (I have air bags)? Would also like to keep my nice aluminum drop hitch.

    That is interesting .... only 2 of my three cigarette lighter plugs work? Are all three on the same fuse?

    MAF Sensor Bad or Edge?

    Stopped by AutoZone for a scan today. He could not get power to his scanner and said I must have a fuse out or a loose wire. Is the plug fuse protected? I think there are only 5 wires going to the plug. Is that normal?

    MAF Sensor Bad or Edge?

    Unplugged to Edge and still smokes badly at idle. The only reason I lean toward the MAF sensor is because I have unplugged it before for troubleshooting and it smoked. That combined with the air intake not going below 32 leads me to beleive there is an issue with the maf sensor. For testing...

    MAF Sensor Bad or Edge?

    Since a trip to MN a month ago, (-12 degrees F) My edge does not sense air intake temperature below 32 degrees. I have also developed a smoking exhaust, at idle only. I am wondering if my Air Flow Sensor has gone bad? Any way to test it?

    Have 2 estimates from a diesel shop and a dealer for around 3700. They said 1500 in parts. What more than, head gaskets, head bolt and injector cups seals do you need?

    Cleaning Engine

    My truck can from the east coast and has a lot of oxidization on the engine and engine components. Kind of a white scally look. Has anyone found a good way to clean this up?

    Fuel Filter Change

    I do mine from the liner. I invested in the clip tool from Merchant. I can do the filter change in about 10 minutes or less.

    Towing Driving Habits?

    What are you referring to as locking out OD. Is this a factory option on newer than 02 models. That would be very nice, If I could force 4th gear!

    LB7 Head Gaskets

    Has anyone tackled this job themselves? I am about 99% certain I have a blown gasket on one side if not both. I have white smoke at idle, pressure in my coolant system and now a puddle of coolant on the drivers side rear of the engine. Anthing else I should do since it needs torn down to the...

    Towing Driving Habits?

    When you have a 10K-15K load on, do you use cruise control on grades? I have used cruise and just let the d/a do its job, but I just don't like the sudden downshift and screaming RPMs when it can't gain the speed that is set. I have also sped up on downgrades and let it gradually slow on the up...
