    Extended Warranty

    My BIL found a great deal on an extra clean '08 dually with 86k miles. Clean service history to boot. Do you think it would be worth it for him to get the extended warranty? Cost would be about 15/month.

    How a differential gear works

    Well, its has finally happening....

    Original injectors. I suppose one could have popped loose? I though a loose cup would cause coolant-smelling exhaust? My exhaust is very rich in diesel. You can only really see it smoke at idle at night with headlights behind you. Upon hard aceleration I have black/grey smoke and is very...

    Well, its has finally happening....

    No plans for "big" hp. I will contact you offline for details on the other things you mentioned, if thats ok. I'm going to be contacting an independent shop tomorrow that has a GM-trained Dmax tech working for them. Well, he is actually the co-owner of the shop.

    Well, its has finally happening....

    I don't think it is from a return line since this truck basically has not been touched.

    Well, its has finally happening....

    I would pull mine and have the tips done at www.gethoned.com but I still don't know about the leak. I mean, am I dumping that much fuel into a cylinder? Or do I have one with a cracked body that is filling my crankcase? With exchange, gmpartsdirect has them for $182 each. Thats not a bad...

    Well, its has finally happening....

    Thanks Jeff. I'm still undecided on tackling this myself or digging up the money to have it done. In reality, I really don't have the time, but I do believe I have the skill. There is a lot of mechanical background in my family. I have done 350s and tractors, but nothing like this. I...

    Well, its has finally happening....

    Yeah, it's weak. At 150K we had it on the EFI live and it was not looking good then. Haven't got to check it out since then due to some computer issues. I hope to have those resolved before the truck goes under the knife so I know what I need. Where would I get a CP3 for a "good price"...

    Well, its has finally happening....

    (I post this on the other website a lot of you frequent, but I'd like to get as much input as possible, so I'm putting it here as well.) After close to 200K miles, I'm building oil level and bubbling coolant. Looks like major work and major $$$$ is in my near future. Right now I know I...

    2000 Impala 3.8L problems

    It's still sittin'. I haven't had a chance to tackle it. Working too much overtime and having too much crappy weather (yes, even in South Texas). Don't have a good enclosed shop to do it in. Hopefully will be able to tackle it on my next 7 days off week after next. Thanks for asking.

    2000 Impala 3.8L problems

    My son got in my 2000 Impala yesterday, turned the key to start it, and heard a loud "boom". He opened the hood and found the plastic intake manifold in about 20 pieces. I can put a new intake on it, but what caused this to happen?? Timing chain? Any input/suggestions will be...

    5.3l Catalytic Converter

    Anyone ever had one go bad? I thought the engine on my wife's Suburban was gonna come apart. At idle, it was knocking like a real bad rod or main bearing gone bad. I was extremely relieved when I crawled under it last night and found the rattling/knocking coming from the driver's side cat...

    Check out Cricket. A co-worker of mine just got it for his son and there is no contract. Coverage looks pretty good too. His son says it works great. http://www.mycricket.com/broadband/ On Edit: Just looked closer at the coverage map. Florida is covered fairly good, but the rest...
