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...
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.
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...
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...
I aint never had the dust/inspection shield off of a NV4500. Before I climb under there next chance I get, does it unbolt and drop off the same as on a SM465?
Got my first truck when I was 17. It was a red 1998 Chevy K2500 ECLB with 350/4L80e. Sold it last year.
Only reason I got it was I had too many tickets for speeding/wreckless driving in the Firebird. Still got my share of tickets in that truck though.
Our '98 Tahoe has rear A/C but not rear heat. I was pissed when winter rolled around, I assumed it had rear heat b/c it had rear A/C like Dad's '95 Suburban K1500 and '04 Yukon XL K2500.
I've replaced about every part in the OEM at one point or another and it always continued to lock up. The motor wouldn't keep running, but I would have to crawl underneath and pull the starter loose then bolt it back on and it would act fine for a while.
You think this is one of those situations where it's best to just pull it off and take it in for the warranty?
My ACDelco's main problem was it would frequently lock up into the flywheel, even after being rebuilt. But it never gave me trouble with heat soaking.
