    Help me identify this noise?

    It's been doing this for a while and I've checked intake connections and they all seem fine. I get a noise hard to describe. It goes whirrrrrrrrrr when I'm on the throttle about 1/2 and up. I made a video... a little hard to pick it out but you can hear it. It starts at about 8psi boost and...

    What could happen? Help

    If I accidentally put Dex III in my dad's '06 that says to use Dex VI? I just changed his spin on filter yesterday and noticed that the dipstick said Dex VI only. On the bottle of fluid it said "Do Not" use in vehicles that use Dex VI. I had put about 3-4 quarts of Dex III in when I fixed the...

    2006 tranny lines leaking

    Read a few threads about the leaking lines. Has anybody (MikeL or other) made a repair kit for them? All I read about is people replacing them with the updated crimp. My dads truck just started leaking and it's been below 0 degrees here lately. What's the best/cheapest fix at this point? Thanks

    2004 Chevy 6.0 low idle and stalls

    This work truck has been sitting for maybe 5 days went to start it up and the battery acted dead. Jump started it and drove around to charge it up but the rpms would dive if I let off the throttle. It stalled twice before I got it back to the shop. The first time it stalled it wouldn't start...

    Poor towing mileage?

    My dad has an 06 LBZ and when he tows his mileage drops a lot. He gets about 15-17 mpg average not pulling anything. When he hooked up a 3,000# flatbed trailer with a lawnmower he got 10 mpg. He has hand calculated the mileage and his DIC is pretty close. I talked him into a predator programmer...

    STX 46 riding mower...help please

    I was trying to dismantle the seat sensor and parking brake sensor so I wouldn't have to put the parking brake on to get off the lawnmower. I took the switch out by the brake pedal and jumped a purple wire to a white wire. It started up without me being on the seat..."cool", I thought. So I...

    Rear wheel turned gold color what's wrong?

    I hear a grinding noise when slowing down...sounds like my brakes. I had all my wheels/tires off when doing a tire rotation and didn't see anything wrong with my pads or rotors. My passenger side rear wheel has a gold dust stuck hard to it. What is it from?

    Truck pulls me all over the place in 4wd

    Truck pulls me all over the place in 4wd. Is it because of my worn out steering parts or something else? Below is a pic of my truck at the dunes. The front tires toe inward. What's worn out? Pitman/idler arm? Tie rods? Anything else to look for? I can't even use 4wd in the snow because it wants...

    Sludge on filter magnet...normal?

    Had about 25k on the spin on when I changed it last night. Noticed a thin layer or gray sludge on the magnet. Is this normal wear or excessive?

    shake/shutter

    Not sure if it's comming from my trans or other parts of the drivetrain. I have a shake/shutter when my truck shifts....it happens in every gear wether I'm on the throttle hard or not. I noticed it first when I put the stock programming back in. It seemed to shift extra hard. Now it...

    Anyone done ball joints on a '01+ HD?

    I've heard a few stories about these. 1.I've read online they can't be replaced and you have to buy a whole new factory a-arm. If that were the case I'd opt for the Cognito UCA's instead. 2.I've read of people pressing new ones in and them falling out. 3.I've read that people have welded new...

    Loping or surging at idle...it seems like my truck has a big cam in it.

    I have noticed once in a while my truck will lope like it has a big cam in it or something. That's the best way I can describe it. I was reading old posts over at the place and some suggested that it was a bad fuel rail pressure regulator (FRPR) or it could also be a loose reluctor wheel on the...

    How To: GM Truck window motor replacement '99 - '07 classic

    I just did this on a 2000 Chevy 1500. I believe all the '99-early '07 trucks are relatively the same. It's easy so save yourself some money and do it yourself. I'll do my best to explain step by step. I bought my aftermarket window motor assembly from a parts store. $116....about half of what...

    What do you do with your truck?

    I think my torsion bars sagged. :(

    Just put my big tires back on and when I flexed the suspension the tire on my passenger side rubbed the back of the wheel well at full lock. :mad2: I never had this problem before so I assume the bars sagged over the winter. Is it possible to get longer bolts for the stock torsion bars...
