My wife strongly disliked the idea of painting the bathroom near our garage Hugger Orange.

come on brandons4door, show us an orange CC!!

kwalsh

I'm sorry you had a rough experience Barch. I found the install to be rather painless.

kwalsh

I've changed mine. They are very easy to change.
The links HenryJ put above should answer every question you have.
Regards

kwalsh

I've gotten this code once. I cleared it and it has not returned.

kwalsh

You're Welcome!
I recommend to atleast have the rotors recut if you do not want to replace them.....new rotors are not expensive. They're about $30 a piece.
I'm sorry I don't know what the OEM part numbers are.

kwalsh

This link will help you. pictures are included with the step by step instructions.

This behaivor sounds very familiar to the experience I had with the DTC P1626.

kwalsh

If you can't find a local dealer there's always the option of buying bulk on the web. I've never done a search for a bulk purchase of K&N oil filters.

kwalsh

Your local Advanced Auto, National Auto, Carquest or PepBoys type of auto supply should carry K&N. They're quite popular. You can do a search on their website for your local dealer.

williamcstonejr: Thanks for the input. I don't have the RPO L35 and Vin Code W.

I haven't had another repeat of this code. Just to be safe I've switched over to the extra key, which is pretty much in brand new condition.

The situation still bothers me, but I'm hoping for the best.

Welcome aboard Fermin!

You have an excellent truck there. Your km/L or MPG is making us Americans very jealous. I would love to have your engine in my truck instead of the 4.3L.

Again welcome and thanks for sharing with us.

I got my CC back yesterday. The mechanic told me there was nothing major wrong with the truck; it was only flooded. I disagree my scanner threw DTC P1626. I read my service manual about this code and it scares me. It appears that I could get this code while driving and my fuel will be disabled. I ne...

Yes. I tried both keys.

I had a rather annoying Presidents' Day this year. Some friends and I were out at the family farm doing some relaxing and house maintenance and when it was time to pack up and head home; the CC wouldn't turn over. We spent about 2 hours troubleshooting. confirmed spark, fuel pressure, (the plugs & w...

kwalsh

It took atleast 300 miles to break in my Powerslots & Hawk pads and I experienced a huge difference in the breaking power while towing my boat.

I broke them in before I did a lot of towing. I took the wife out for a drive, brought her shopping & went for dinner.

Ouch. 9 days. That is uncommon in this day for ebay purchases.

I had good luck with summit. They even gave me a free hat.

kwalsh

When you had the rear serviced was the diff cover replaced or inspected? My OEM cover lasted about 3 years. I had to replace it because it was rusted through and allowed moisture/water to enter the rear. It was very obvious when I serviced it. For good measure I applied some RTV silicone sealant aro...

kwalsh

It sounds like you should put the plugs, wires, fuel filter & inspect the cap for corrosion as your first moves.

kwalsh

Perform the diagnostics that killian96ss mentioned.

It might be time to give her new plugs & wires.

kwalsh

Have you replaced the Dexcool with the green stuff? It sounds like you have air pockets passing through the heater core. Air + Dexcool = BAD. You should drain out the Dexcool immediately before the Dexcool destroys your core. It ruined mine.

kwalsh

I tried but gave up. My heater core started to leak this past February and at the time I didn't have a garage....

I payed my local dealer to change it for me.

kwalsh

The wheels I was looking at, the XD series 795, were backordered and the supplier told me they do not have an ETA. It's back to the drawing board for a different wheel.
Has anybody had luck with locating a black alloy 16" wheel?

kwalsh

The rims are new and I will call the supplier to see if they include a vehicle specific adapter/ring. now that you have mentioned it, I am running spacers that are not hub centric in the rear. Thanks I see what you are talking about. The only negative I can see is extra force being applied to the wh...

kwalsh

Thanks Steve.

So I have to assume that if this wheel was mounted on our hub that the gap of 2.75mm would be a bad thing???

Should I investigate installing custom wheel spacers that are hubcentric for our stock 69.85mm hub and made to fit these aftermarket wheels with 72.6mm hubs?

kwalsh

Will an aftermarket wheel with a hub bore of 72.6mm fit on our truck?

kwalsh

I've read a few threads here that discuss swapping the uncomfortable OEM front seat with the Bravada seat.

Does anybody else know of any other seats that will fit without any mods?

kwalsh

Yup...I put the Bilsteins on about 4 years ago.
Thanks for the input.

kwalsh

I would appreciate some opinions here on this topic. I will be towing much more often now that I have bought a boat, a Tracker Mod V 18'. I have two areas I would like to tackle. 1. Add strength to the rear springs. (I already installed Daystar shackles) 2. Remove the sway with cornering. I was look...

I have frequently towed around 3000lbs with my CC. I always keep it in 3rd. I haven't had any problems and the majority of the trips have been around 3 hours.

kwalsh

What if you bought a cheap kid's pool, threw it on a trailer and pulled it to the parking lot instead?

kwalsh

Has anybody experienced this one yet, DTC P1441?

I know it is for the Evap System...perhaps a leak at the purge valve?
could the filter on this purge valve, solenoid, be clogged?

Would it be the gas cap??

Much Thanks for any help or insight.

Regards.

kwalsh

Did you just say it will warm up into the 60s???

I consider it warm when it is above 15 with the wind chill factor included.

kwalsh

The first mod should atleast be a trans cooler. This, IMO, is a heck of a lot better than some extra fins on the trans pan.

kwalsh

Whenever I have my driver side window down all of the way I open the rear driver side about an inch or two. I do this because I don't like the huge rush of air in my face and so maybe this has prevented this pressure build up?

kwalsh

Welcome to the site. Unfortunately I can't help you; I have not experienced this pressure build up in my CC. I have noticed that if my front windows are up and the rear windows are down the wind creates a unique tunnel effect across the back seats.

kwalsh

Thank you. I'll be replacing them in the spring.

kwalsh

I asked a local shop to align my front end because I noticed the truck was drifting a little. The shop told me that they wouldn't perform the alignment because my ball joints are loose. They are not shot, just loose.....

I could use some education on this one.

Thanks.

kwalsh

this might help. HenryJ did a nice write up on Transpro's radiator.

http://www.s-10crewcab.com/og1/modinfo/rad/rad.htm

kwalsh

Did you replace the OEM radiator for the extra capacity aftermarket?

You might want to consider replacing the oil transfer lines to and from the oil cooler & oil filter before they start leaking.

While you are at it might be a good time to add a transmission cooler.

kwalsh

Clogged fuel filter? valve sticking?

kwalsh

I caved... I gave up. It's too friggin cold outside to do this fix in my driveway. A local dealer quoted me $650. I brought it to them on Saturday. And yes I do respect other people's opinion. You will notice that I don't bash someone else's statement. This too will be my last new GM. I may buy an o...

I started to look at my sevice manuals and review the steps to replace this $60 part....this is my last GM vehicle. :evil: I am quite annoyed with GM over this design flaw. And just to clarify, I switched to the green stuff soon after questions and concerns were raised with DexCool and replaced both...

kwalsh

Thank you for looking for those pics. They will be extremely valuable. This fix will not be fun. I wish I had a garage.

My front windshield fogged up extremely bad last night on the way home from work. The heater control was set to my feet only. Is this fogged windshield due to a heater core gone bad?

kwalsh

It hits rather well for a 6.5" woofer. stop by your local audio store and ask them to power one up for you with one of your favorite songs.

kwalsh

I would recommend the Bazooka tube. It fit nicely behind the rear seat & the BTA6100 & BTA6200 have an internal amplifier.

After I got a little banged up on the quad I was a big fan of those hot wet packs. I'm not too sure what they were full of, but you soak them in hot water and place them on the sore spots, awesome.

kwalsh

ouch, a little pricey, 3@ $80 each.....there goes my Christmas present

kwalsh

It threw the code for the 4th time this evening. I'll see if cleaning the sensor with an alcohol wipe does the trick before I put a new one in.

kwalsh

Thanks HenryJ. I have looked at this page a few times in volume 2 of the service manuals. I will swap out the bank 2 sensor & see what happens. I find it annoying that the service manual details of a DTC for an oxygen sensor malfunction (P0153,P0154 & P0155) fail to designate in which Bank & senosr ...

kwalsh

I have had a similar experience, but it was with my aux lights. I hit the module between the battery and interior switch with the hose and ended up frying it. I convinced it was the water from the hose; I must have hit it at the right angle with too much pressure.

kwalsh

My truck threw this code, P0155. The service manual is not clear what sensor I should replace. Is it really the Upstream - Bank No. 2 sensor, or could something else have caused this?

kwalsh

Thank goodness you are okay. You were very fortunate.
Forget about pictures of the CC; your focus on the recovery takes priority. Try to relax; some of the injuries associated with an impact like that may not show themselves for a few days.

Regards, Kevin

kwalsh

yup, it's all about the price tag.

kwalsh

I'll try to take some pics and post. The install doesn't require that much work; trim the grill and drill 4 holes. My headlights are not blocked. It sure does look good on the truck.

Do we have a front windshield that contains a metal oxide? I am about to register with EZPass and they ask this question. The customer service rep told me that my truck has this in our windshield; I disagree. I haven't been able to find anything that tells me otherwise. Do any of you know? Thanks.

Yes, the first thing I did was install a new cap, rotor and wires; all Napa stuff, Echlin & Mileage Plus. I put new AC Delco, 41-932 plugs in, (the OEM plugs).
