  1. 2012 GMC ACADIA. I hate it Any car truck AC guys on here?

    I worked at an International dealership. Standard Repair Time is what the industry calls for when billing a customer. The dealership gets paid for everything they claim on warrenty work...pressure cleaning(1 hour), test drive(1 hour), ect...doesn't matter if it only takes 10 minutes.
  2. Need help- knocking noise coming from Engine

    Due to the small passages in modern condensers, they can not be flushed, it will need to be replaced.
  3. Vortec 6.0 lean condition/o2 fault/misfires SOLVED!!!

    2005 Silverado 1500, it had a 4.8l with a 4l60e. I put a 6.0l with 4l80e. Bought HPtuner for the program, deleted to viscous fan and went with dual electric. That was kind of a PITA, had to wire the ECM. Truck is a beast for towing and power.
  4. Vortec 6.0 lean condition/o2 fault/misfires SOLVED!!!

    Been having this fault for a while where my engine would try to stall out after running for about 5 minutes when I came to a stop. Would only do it until the ECM stopped trying to use closed loop. Was getting codes for o2 sensors, lean bank 2, misfires. I checked plugs, wires, coil packs...
  5. Harley Davidson— NEED HELP.

  6. 1997 Silverado NOT heating up.

    My bad, just re-read your post. Either the heater core is clogged or the blend-door is stuck. Both will cause cooler air. Try back flushing the heater core
  7. 1997 Silverado NOT heating up.

    Bad temp sensor or bad display
  8. Horrible gas mileage

    Thanks, i will give it a go
  9. Horrible gas mileage

    The plugs are never fouled. Im sure its in the top 1/2 of the engine. I could do a compression test and leak down test, just not that motivated yet.
  10. Horrible gas mileage

    I used to think that as well, until I saw an Abrams tank that ran over 3 stacked anti-tank mines in Iraq. Not a good day to be a Tanker.
  11. Horrible gas mileage

    I forgot the thermal clutch, water pump and power steering pump and lines. All of this is over a 10 year period of time.
  12. Horrible gas mileage

    Original...I'm surprised...the wife never had the trans fluid changed until 150,000 miles. I've replaced the plenum seal, lifter seals, MAF, ICV, ECM, IAC valve, front wheel hubs, complete rebuild of the a/c system, and all the regular maint. Burns a quart of oil every 1000 miles (but no...
  13. Horrible gas mileage

    So I need to cut my engine in 1/2 and strip about 1500lbs off the vehicle...lol
  14. Horrible gas mileage

    That's the original sticker info for our vehicle/engines. I would like to think my vehicle is in tip-top shape for its age and mileage. Gas prices just hurt at the pump.
  15. Horrible gas mileage

    Despite me hating the gas pump cost. Its nice not having an auto payment (for the past 12 years). It has definitely earned its keep and i will continue to keep it running. The latest thing I've done to it is clean the throttle body and replace the IAC valve due to stalling at idle. Way...
  16. Horrible gas mileage

    I have a thing for crunching numbers every now and then. 2000 Dodge Durango 5.9 with 275,000 miles has an average gas mileage of 13 mpg over its life (according to the display). That means that its cost about $41,000 in gas so far and will cost about $5,000 more to get to 300,000 miles. Its...
  17. Any experience with General Grabbers? (tires)

    Put a new set General Grabber AT2s on my Silverado 1500, had a belt break in the sidewall(no curb rash) and a blowout going down a gravel road. Set of tires had less than 5000 miles. Scrapped them and put on Firestone Transforce, never had a single issue, 40000 miles and counting.
  18. Wheel weights/balancing question

    There is a product called Counteract balancing beads that balance your tires basically for the life of the tire. We use them in our shop and cost about the same as getting your tires balanced to start with.
  19. Air Bag light

    There is a wiring harness behind the kick panel. My light was going on an off and driving me nuts. Did some research on it and you have disconnect your battery, wait for the airbag to disarm, disconnect the connection, clean with compressed air, put a little dielectric grease in it, reconnect...
  20. Air Bag light

    Sit in the driver seat and kick the panel to the left of the parking brake...don't ask...it fixed my airbag light issue
