After another 100 miles the P0420 finally set again, took it back in and dealership reluctantly agreed to replace Cat under warranty. Waited a week to get part in and another to get it down to the dealer to be worked on, a third to get it back (switching back and forth from night to day shifts for w...

Welcome, You will find this is one of the few site where the person is as important as the rig (or at least a close second). Personal details help us keep perspective on how we answer questions and advise others on the plans they have for their rigs. If you take a look through the NOS section you wi...

I rented a hub puller from my local parts store. It makes fast work of pulling the hub.

I am surprised you lose that little on the turning radius, the 2005 K1500 133" wheel base model has a turn radius of only 42.9ft and the crew cab 143.5in wheel base model is at 46.6ft where my 2004 crew is listed at 41.3ft with 122.9" wheel base. The smallest k1500 actually has a smaller turning rad...

To each their own I guess. I am perfectly happy with my truck on 30's with no body lift and just shackles and t-bar tweak. I was able to keep up with stock zr-2's on a class 6 logging road and with care could probably run Moab set up this way by picking my line a little more than the 33 crowd (With ...

Not bump stops but steering stops, bump stops are for up and down control of the A-Arm/Wheel assembly, steering stops are for left and right. They need to be added to (weld beads) until the tire won't scrub when the wheel is turned. This will also substantially increase your turning radius so forget...

If you are putting on the body lift you should be able get away with it but you would have try it on your rig to see if there will be enough clearance with the tire you want. You will need to flex the suspension and see if it rubs anywhere. The lower rear corner does not have much wiggle room for la...

04crewvt

Anything above 30's will likely need the cuts, there is just not that much room in our fender wells, especially if you reduce the backspacing. If you never go off road you might get away with it but take it off the street/dirt road and it will rub.

It repaired a '99 Tahoe that I was involved in a head on accident. Replaced the frame, front sheet metal and motor. Sheesh are you sure they repaired it or just put the VIN tags on another one the same make and Model?? Sounds like another story to be told sometime. Glad it can be fixed if that's wh...

04crewvt

You will have to do the fender cuts to fit 33's if done right they look good without flares I think I recall some threads that show the cuts without flares around somewhere search on the Marvelous Mystery Lift and see what you come up with.

04crewvt

I also went with the yellow 893's and really like the contrast on foggy nights compared the the factory lamps

04crewvt

I have never had mine loosen up but I do check them and re torque them when i rotate tires. The only thing that does seem to happen is in areas prone to corrosion they occasionally need to be pulled and the mating surfaces cleaned so they don't cause problems. Could be the person you were speaking w...

04crewvt

Oh No! Not another flock of ducks. I hope everyone is ok.

04crewvt

I think I would just let it go to a scrap yard. I doubt a cavalier will have enough sought after parts on it to make it work the time and effort.

04crewvt

I would check for leaks at the thermostat housing first, it can leak from there and cook off on the manifold,then look at the cap to make sure the seals are still good if not there I would get a pressure check done to make sure you do not have an internal leak.

04crewvt

Oh I have one that I would gladly trade in but unfortunately I took the insurance and registration off it more than a year ago. Guess I could always patch up the brakes so it would pass inspection and re-register and insure it for next years round of govt. money. Yea Right - NOT Sort of like how the...

According to the full regulations the vehicles must have the long block destroyed immediately but the rest of the vehicle can be held for up to six months before destruction to allow time for resellers to sell any parts except for the drivetrain unless it is also dismantled and sold for parts. Cash ...

The Govt. requires the vehicles to be sent to approved locations where only the motor is destroyed by adding liquid sodium silicate to the crankcase after emptying the oil from it. When run the engine catastrophically overheats and seizes, the rest of the vehicle is then able to be parted out to scr...

04crewvt

Any long term update on this ? Williamcstonejr are you still out there?

04crewvt

I would think so, they adjust for all ranges of ambient temps outside so it should be able to learn. You might want to unhook the battery cables and let it reset and relearn/remap the programming after you install it but that should be easy enough.

04crewvt

If you did strip a grade 8 stud with only 100fl/lbs of torque you may have a serious problem with the rest as well, unless you just cross threaded it when you first installed. At least if the seller does not make it right it's only a couple dollar part at the local parts store to replace. I know fro...

ABS brakes failed last fall soon after the engine was replaced and I parked it for the winter then I had to leave it off until last month when my new job started paying enough to put it back on the road, I had replaced hubs last year due to bad bearings but one of the sensors had given up so I went ...

Finally got down and picked up the crew at the dealership today. All ready to go again, I just need to get out and clean it, sitting for the length of time it did got it filthy. Need to pull the brakes one of these days and lube all the slide pins they are dry according to the dealership and still w...

04crewvt

Nice - Have you got everything to equip it or is that next on the agenda?

04crewvt

I would suspect that a cover would trap water and cause more problems when stored under the vehicle. Hypothetically speaking,since your 33's won't fit under the bed, I would think a couple of shields cut from old barrel plastic and formed to the tire with a heat gun might work

04crewvt

With the AAL you will not be able to crank the T-Bar enough to make the truck sit level, there is not enough adjustment to the torsion bars. The best you can do is to go to the mods page and look up how to measure your Z height see how much you can crank without going over and go for it. Remember th...

Finally got it in today. Stealership says another $1000 to get it inspect able. Bad idler arm ( again, had one replaced under warranty 24K), hub bearing(only a little over a year old) plus leaking oil lines, I don't think they need to change them to inspect it. They wanted to have me flush and drain...

It sounds like you got water in the diff. Is the vent line relocated or have you been in the creek again?The white fluid is water and oil trying to mix. Need to drain clean and refill. If the seal is bad you will need to get opinion on how hard it is from someone who has done it.

04crewvt

yup this is just to clean the smell and kill the mold/mildew once the drains are unplugged. It is typical for the drains on window A/C units to plug up and once they start having water back up in them the problems start. The guys would come in clear the vents thenspray this stuff in and run the unit.

04crewvt

For cleaning out the mildew/smell check with an A/C repair place, I have used some great stuff for cleaning and deodorizing A/C units a tech gave me once. No idea what it was called.

04crewvt

IIRC the only difference is cutting a couple of notches in the plastic cowl above the bumper with a hole saw. I am not sure if it's needed for the Chevy or the GMC. I don't think it's a big deal.

04crewvt

Or buy the appropriate after market extended warranty coverage for the truck.

04crewvt

You are looking at about 3 bills and a little work to empty the gas tank, drop it and replace the unit. From what everyone else has said go AC Delco or Delphi only for the replacement. Search the board for more threads with info.

04crewvt

Yup it's a sign that it might be on it's way out. Our trucks really should not be run below 1/2 tank since the gas cools and lubricates the pump.

04crewvt

I would check the fuel pump first off. They are known to make a similar noise.

04crewvt

Have you set up your scan gauge to read the O2 sensor data stream? If so you can look at them when running and you should see a voltage fluctuation from 1miliamp to about 75 switching back and forth as the engine varies depending on load and speed. A working sensor will show large numbers of cross c...

04crewvt

I think the big thing is swapping the sensors is not fixing a problem it's just masking the issue. Since the sensors were fouled and the source has not yet been determined you have only temporarily fixed the rough running and codes. The fouled sensors would certainly cause rough running and idle but...

Wish the had a dealer around here but none that I could find. I just bought two plain old batteries for the Tahoe dual battery setup at WalMart, cheapest for the highest amps would have liked to AGM but that would have more than doubled the price.

Finally got my Red Top replaced under warranty. After 2 other attempts to get it covered (they would charge it and say it was good) today their tester would not even turn on when attached to the battery. I had run it in my Tahoe for a month and trickle charged it when not running but as soon as I st...

I would suspect a blown lower intake gasket if you are running Dex-cool still. Has your coolant level gone down any? If so it's almost a sure bet.

04crewvt

Yes I agree with Brule on this one. I find even big companies rarely get back by e-mail quickly, if you need an answer in a hurry that's what phones are for. Same with shipping, if you opt for free shipping and they send it USPS and you give a negative feedback for slow shipping you should be flogge...

With some playing with a tire size calculator it looks like a 275/60/17 is close to a 30" diameter and 30MM wider than stock so that would be a close size with some tires available in that size. The question is can you get a wheel with 5 to 6 inch back spacing in 17" size? You could work outward fro...

04crewvt

Did you replace a leaking radiator under warranty or has it been leaking for 3 years since you noticed it?

04crewvt

As to your sanity I am not qualified to judge that. LOL

04crewvt

I have stated many times that my truck runs better and gets better gas mileage with 89 Octane. It just depends on whether the price difference or performance difference make worth it. For me it is.

04crewvt

when it's dry or the noise comes back. I would simply check at each oil change.

04crewvt

Nope it just gets squeezed into the sockets right where the bars enter the arms

04crewvt

Depends on whether they are Shambles, Runner or Rage Zombies. Zombie Types. And I hope you mean 1500 RPM or that gun needs to go back in the closet.

04crewvt

Yea it comes from being a unit shopper if x cost y and 2x is 1/3 less might as well buy 2x. I think I have 3 or 4 thousand rounds of 7.62x39. Sounds like a lot till you figure at 30 rounds to a mag 600 round a minute theoretical cyclic rate it's only 5 minutes of sustained fire. I only keep 1000 in ...

04crewvt

Well I must admit I am getting a little low on some stuff, I think I am down to 2500 22lr or so and only 500 rounds for the .45 As for bigger stuff I already plan to tell the Fire Dept. to just water down the other house and let my place burn if it goes up, I would rather they not be in there.

04crewvt

They just barely and I mean just (1/4" or so) clear at the top of the fender well. It gives me an effective backspacing of only 3" in the rear. I run 1" spacers in the front, any bigger and I would need to cut.

04crewvt

If I had to bug out with only 2 weapons it would be with my Mac90 and Ruger MarkII no doubt in my mind. I am glad I stocked up on ammo before Y2K since the price has almost doubled since then and some types are nearly impossible to find right now. I need to load 1000 rounds for my .38 service revolv...

3" spacers will clear the rear fender wells with ZR5 Flares with 30x9.5's without a body lift. That's what I run in the back.

04crewvt

Sounds like you may have messed up the gears or at least changed how they are meshing.

How did you strip a brass thread in a lead battery terminal? or did you strip the other end where you connect accessories? Just wondering since I just added two of these to my Tahoe for it's dual battery install project.

04crewvt

Is it possible you are catching the tire on the inner fender well or flair? What size tires/mods to the suspension have you done? With my setup I get that pop sound if I flex the drivers side tire up to the top of it's travel in the wheel well and the tire catches the flair, it even broke a piece ou...

A lot of the manufactures stopped updating the model years that would work for our rigs after 2000-2002, any s10items listed from 1994-2004 should work. Are you looking for metal or plastic ones?

Yea without knowing exactly which code they cleared it's hard to tell. here is a list of possible codes for Knock sensor. I am not sure if we have one or two so I listed them all.

Search on E10 gas and see how many problems are cropping up because of it. One tank with too much alcohol could certainly cause a drive ability problem ( not saying that is definitely your problem) but it is possible.

04crewvt

I don't know, it always seems the bottom half of the tread life is always longer than the top since the compound is harder. Would that not skew the results? As for cost in mounting, half the time I run separate snows on the same rims (although I am getting away from that some) and have the tires bal...

04crewvt

There may be no inexpensive gas but there certainly are places whose gas can be of a lesser quality. I pretty much stick with 89 octane which seems to run better in my trucks over 87 (this is both in my Tahoe and Crew) and I have found a station that still is ethanol free which seems to help as well.

04crewvt

Any chance you got a cheap tank of gas that was bad?

I have run Coopers Or Mastercraft, another of their brands on every vehicle I have had in the last 15 years. I have never had a problem with them. They do wear down quicker than some other brands but I usually can get them for half the price of the others so it's a wash there. Personally I would rat...

I'm ticked off that mine leaks in the first place. Unless they have been poorly maintained, radiators should never leak and the EPA should shove this right into G.M's face.

There are a few wheels out there for our rigs and you can go with slightly less backspacing, 1 inch or so, more if you are doing the whole lift thing and cutting the fenders.

Not all came with the G80, my 2004 ZR5 did not, it was an option on that model year. I think previous to that most 3.73 rears had them and most 3.42's did not but Brule might be able to enlighten us on that score.

Are you looking for a full locking rear? Check your glove box codes for G80 which is the factory locker before you start then look it up here on the site to see if that's what will work for you. 2wd rims are a no go back spacing is wrong.

I was thinking the manual meant the wheel bearings not the diff itself. My Chiltons manual for that year does not show the bearings needing replacement when doing the seals.
