Should be on a sticker on the radiator support.

I don't know about the pipes and cats on the crew, but had one changed on an Astro van a few years ago, and it cost arounr 600.00 then.

rlrnr53

I can't see GM supplying new O2 sensors with the cat assy. They will stick you for every thing they can. If you change the O2 sensors, stick with the OE sensors, as some after market sensors don't give as good mileage. My MPG dropped recently, I checked my tire pressure, 3 of 4 tires were between 10...

I guess soldering is something I take for granted. Soldering electrical connections is something that came naturally to me, but sweating copper pipe eluded me until an uncle came over about 35 years ago and gave me a couple of quick lessions. Thanks for the offer Reed, but this adventure looks like ...

rlrnr53

Reed, the heep is looking better every day. Hope the Mallard population hasn't suffered for all of your wrenching. They may be circling around my location, because I still haven't had time to get the engine in my daughter';s van. Hopefully it won't be long in coming.

fallvitals, when I was on the fire dept, we had a pumper with a gas 427 in it. We had sdtarting from day one. After about a year of this, I took it to a local heavy duty parts housse and had new heavier cables made. After the new cables, the engine would be running before you could release the ignit...

Better thee than me! Seriously Reed, I hope that every thing is OK with you. The bulk of the rain went to the northwest ofme Saturday and Sunday. Only a drop in the bucket compared to what you got about an inch and a half to two inches here.

rlrnr53

Hope every thing is melting there. Today it hit about 80 in So W Va.

rlrnr53

Welcome! Hope you enjoy the site. These are a great bunch of guys, I've learned a lot in the last four and a half years.

rlrnr53

Keep the white stuff up there!!! Seriously, I hope you weather the storm OK. I've had enough snow to do me for the next 50 years. Our weather turned cold this week, but no snow, 31 this morning with light frost. This after 60's and low 70's last week.

Everyone that I've taken out has been right hand thread. They can be difficult ro get out if not removed every so often. Once you get it out, a good anti-sieze on the threads will make things easier next time. I have seen plugs so tight that it took a long half inch breaker bar, or three quarter inc...

Try using sone Sea-Foam transmission treatment. My transmission was starting to do some odd shifts. After using about half a can, it seems to have straighened up, and is shifting fine now. It couldn't hurt, and is cheaper than switching trannys.

rlrnr53

Check car-parts.com, you might find a bed close to you reasonable. I checked a couple of weeks ago and found a complete engine for $500.00 + 75.00 core. It meant a 200 mile trip one way, but still cheaper than closer alternatives.

rlrnr53

Sounds like our weather, if you don't like it, wait a few minutes, it will change.

rlrnr53

This one looks like it can come out the top. Since I don't have the headroom, I hope that it will come out easily.

rlrnr53

My next job is to put an engine in our 2003 pontiac Montana. My daughter called Wednesday evening to inform me that the engiine was making noise. When i got there, noise was a little bit of an understatement. It starts and runs, but doesn't have enough power to move. I've found a used engine, headli...

rlrnr53

Yes. get me a price with shipping when you get a chance.

rlrnr53

HJ, I wish I'd known that you had a trip computter, that's one mod I'd like to have

rlrnr53

Sounds like Mr. Murphy decided to move into your garage.A little patience and elbow grease will move him out.

rlrnr53

Reed, your idea sounds like a lot of fun, but I'm getting too tired to even consider it, much less what my girls would say about it.

rlrnr53

Reed, I was about 75 mi north of you today. If I would have had the time, I'd loved to have ventured down your way, but it was an out and back trip to pick up my daughter's boyfriend and his buddy after their Jeep laid down on them.

rlrnr53

I'm glad all of you enjoy the snow, I'd ship all of you some if I could. Last day off was Jan. 24th, and looks like it will be at least another 8-9 days until I can get a day off. To all you snow lovers, ENJOY!!

rlrnr53

Today at work, I found another problem relating to fuel pumps. We have a 98 2500 GMC pickup that has been giving us fuel pump trouble. After installing a new pump, the truck ran for about a week before laying down again. after replacing the relay, it ran for a few more days and it quit again. while ...

rlrnr53

The way the weather looks, it may be 3 or 4 weeks before they get to stock any at all. Winter storm watch for the mountains from Beckley to Elkins thru Monday night

rlrnr53

We ended up with about 20 in. on the ground. Drifts in the higher portion of the county are running as high as 12 ft. We've been using every thing we have in the county and have had equipment sent in from other areas. fallvitals, how much did you get in the valley. As of yesterday, we have had over ...

rlrnr53

I'd like to have decent weather to do anything. I'm getting tired of the whitr stuff. 3-5 today, 3-5 tonight, and an inch tommorrow. Reed, Ihope the good weather holds for you.

rlrnr53

Each turn signal has it's own fuse. strange but true. There have been a couple of posts on the subject.

rlrnr53

We used to have a C-3500 shop truck with a Detroit locker in it. It could be a handfull to drive. The worst thing about it was at times it would lock up with no warning. I have had ti lock up so hard that I stopped and got out of the truck thinking that I had been resr ended. This would happen quite...

Last Monday, I went out to go to work, and tried for 15 min to get the crew to start. It cranked fine, but would not hit until I let of the key, and it seemed like it was trying to hit. After a few tries, I thought tha I had the dreaded fuel pump failure until I got out of the truck and smelled a st...

rlrnr53

Reed, how much of the white stuff did you get? At first we were supposed to only get about 3-4 in. We ended up with about 8-10 in. Further south of us, was about 12-14 in. A difference of about 10 to 15 miles made up the difference. More long hours for me, 16 Saturday, and 12 Sunday.

04crewvt, I broke my windshield the first week of Dec trying to get some 1" gas pipe home. I had run it through the sliding window and had it resting on the dash cushioned by a couple of rags. I thoucht I had adequate clearence, but after strapping the pipe down, I didn't notice that the pipe was ju...

I had to change the resistor on my crew about 3 weeks ago. Temps inthe single digits of the morning,convinced me that the 15 or so dollars would be wellspent. I had to wait until things calmed down at work before I had tim to change it. even though it is a 15 min job, 12 to 14 up to 16-18 hr a day d...

15 years ago, I would have jumped on this, but now I have no use for it, but still tempting.

rlrnr53

From over 65" of snow from 12/18 until about 1/14 snow melted off, temps in the upper 40's to low 50's end of last wek, to 2" of rain Sat and Sunday, snow Monday and Tuesday, supposed to get more snow about Friday, I'm ready for summer.

rlrnr53

Brule, I had a slide in camper on a K1500 a few years ago that had its own batter, and I can tell you from experience that a 12 volt refigerator can and will run both batteries down. I found out the hard way when I started to work one morning and both batteries were dead. after that, I installed a b...

If you thought that was bad, my last tank of gas averaged 6.85 mpg. But that was over a period of about 6 weeks running in 4wd almost every day, one or two days in 4lo, and letting it warm up every morning and evening. From Dec 18th until about a week and a half ago, we goin excess of 65" of snow, w...

rlrnr53

I'm getting anywhere from 9-10 mpg in cold weather, to 14-15 mpg in warmer weather. the best I have done on a trip was almost 21 mpg on a trip. My truck is bone stock, so you're not doing too bad.

rlrnr53

rlrnr53

Thanks Walt! I was having S-10 withdrawals.

rlrnr53

To all that serve and have served, THANK YOU. We honor your service. May god bless and protect you and yours!

rlrnr53

Good info. If memory serves, in 1984 when I went to my first NASCAR race, total outlay for a single car team was between 1 and 2 million. Boy have times changed since then.

rlrnr53

Interesting facts. Thanks for posting

rlrnr53

We've had a Phoenix Injector at work for about 10 years. Almost everyone that has worked in the garage has tried it, but no one has seemed to be able to get it to work right yet. The way I see it, the state wasted about $200.00 ten yeary ago.

rlrnr53

Looks good, I like the monotone look.

rlrnr53

Just finished back flushing the heater core, not enough heat on thes 27 degree mornings. After flushing, heat is again in the cab.

rlrnr53

You guys know how to put a damper on things, I wasn't wanting to hear the "S" word until much later, about May or June.

rlrnr53

yes. We usually buy 5 or 6 bottles at a time from avendor. Permatex shows 3 different types on their website

rlrnr53

Thanks for the quick reply, I guessed that would be the answer, but I may try try it to keep dowm osts.

rlrnr53

I just got back from a trip to visit a good friend that is going to have chemo and radation treatment starting today. Ineed to change oil, and install synthetic gear oil in the diff.

I got my crew in Dec of 2005, with 75,000 mi, and paid $10,500. Sounds like you got a good deal, but what matters is what you think.

LMC shows skid plates in their 09 summer catalog on pages 38-39.

rlrnr53

Check LMC truck. I saw the door spring separately in their S-10 catalog.

rlrnr53

HJ, is it possible that his front axle is taking some time to disengage? I had the problem of my axle not wanting to disengage, but before I could check it out , it started working like it should. I've thought possobly that tne cable on the actuator may be hanging, but I haven't checked it out yet.

rlrnr53

Finished painting and installing the fuel door last Saturday before we left on vacation. Picked up the paint in a spray can from NAPA (custom mixed). Took a couple of hours to paint, and about 35 min to install and adjust.

rlrnr53

Are there Mallards circling the heep?

rlrnr53

You guys are lucky. I'm lucky toget about 12-14 mpg mixed driving, with about 20mpg on the highway. I don't usually drive much faster than about 60-65 mph on the highway, most of the time a little slower. This is after a tune up and fuel filter change.

rlrnr53

It may be possible that the computer is not giving the command to start the fuel pump, and it is starting when the engine builds oil pressure. I've had this problem on other GM vehicles. the easy check is to have some one turn the key on while you listen (with the fuel cap off) at the fuel filler.

rlrnr53

I hope she is OK. I would look at the Cobalt, a little larger than the Aveo, more room inside.

rlrnr53

Nice job on both the flares and the writeup

rlrnr53

The vent visors I have were on the crew when I bought it. The only problem has been the double stick tape that had came loose. It was a job replacing it but now they're good as new.

rlrnr53

I tried Goo Gone this past weekend without much success. It was sore thumbs for a couple of days. I tried 4 or 5 different solvents but couldn't get any of them to work very well.

rlrnr53

I just purchased a fuel door, and was surprised to see that it was not painted. I still have to get the primer and sandpaper to get started, then off to NAPA for the paint. I figure I' looking at another $30.00 inaddition to the $38.84 I've already spent.

rlrnr53

Speaking of normal maintainance. I just changed plugs, cap, rotor, fuel filter, and cleaned the throttle body yesterday. Reed, I thought some of your flock were circling when i started the truck an it wouldn't idle down. I loosened the butterfly screws and everything slid into the right place. Today...

rlrnr53

Condolances to the family. Thank you to everyone that protects us.

rlrnr53

Even though I've never had the pleasure of doing business with anyone here, I look forward every day to seeing what is going on. I hope someday to have the pleasure of meeting some of you. Hats off to a great group!

rlrnr53

Thanks for the offer, but I should be OK for the time being.

rlrnr53

My thoughts also. I hope it didn't start the alternator on it's way out.

rlrnr53

As I started to work Friday, the crew almost didn't start. I didn't think much about it, as it has done this a couple of times before. When I started home, all it would do was click. After $91.00 for a new battery, problem solved. I've noticed that it runs smoother and doesn't hesitate when pulling ...

It took me about 45 min to change my rear u-joint. A coworker let me use his garage and torches. it took a while even wity both of us working on it.

Congratulations. I've bought tickets for some guns, but never been lucky enough to win one. Best I've done was a $25.00 wally world card from the local International dealer at their open house at the beginning of the summer.

Believe Brule! The vent is nortorious for water contamination. The way mine was mounted, the rain water would get in it. Caught mine early, just had to change the seal, fluid and relocate the vent hose. If I were closer, I would be happy to help,but there are only so many hours in a day. With twin t...

f9k9, you are right about the anti-seize! After 32 years+ of wrenching on DOH equipnent, PB and anit-seize are required for any repairs. I prefer the copper anti-seize. It seems to work better than the silver. As for PB or Deep Creep, I can't say becase I've never used it. Age + salt + corrosion = n...
