This isn't really related, but as for grounds, they can truely destroy a car. Bad engine straps are often responsible for front wheel bearings failing , true..have found this one out first hand experance. In my case the motor had a gear broken...sorry it has taken me so long to reply, but had number...

Donnie

Just checked, lower 48 only, but hey, if you had a friend buy they could ship for you..

Donnie

I didn't have to clean much, as everything was really dry and clean already..I did replace the grease on the gear of the motor,
I took the old and am going to tear it apart and find out why it did that.

Donnie

Sounds alot like what happened to me...I would take the cover off the differental and check out the side bearings, if they are damaged you should be able to tell, besides that, see if you have any metal in the differntal housing...thats a tell tell sign.

Donnie

Check with S10 Warehouse,

Well went to roll the drivers window down, went half way and that was it, tried to put it back up , no go, took it apart, looked good, motor thumped when button was pushed, so , I pulled up on the window, felt it move a bit, hit the button , up the window went, repeated it several times, same result...

Donnie

Well I live in Fla and it was 95 the day I did it, so don't think I have to worry about the heating it up, one small ding on the hood , when I put dry ice on it , it just disapeared...dropped a peice and the dog got it, blistered the tounge

Donnie

Tried it, I am impressed with what it will do for a small dent, so long as there are no creases, it will be gone, as for dents with creases, took some out, not enough to really make a big difference, but it does work. No pictures, got the ice went to get the camerea and wife had it with the grandkid...

Donnie

Oh what the heck, got a place down the road sells dry ice, will give it a try, work, hey, dent s gone good if not, it will still be there, will take picks and post,,,,,

Donnie

How does it work, is it really paintless..I have a couple dings, cause by the differential in a 18 wheeler blowing up as it passed me, scattering bearings all over the place..insurance paid up, replaced windshield, and major dents but still a couple remain....

Donnie

Ok here, you have posted fluid enters by means of the heater control, could it not enter into the engine via the system. One always has to remember with any fluid, there is a way. White smoke indeed indicates antifreeze but also transmisson fluid.

Donnie

HJ got the 2004 S10 ZR5

Donnie

I took the line off, then put it back, it is only functional in the defrost mode, with out it, my defrost didn't work...I also don't have the hot feet problem...so where does that leave me? Could it be where the units were manufactured and when?

Donnie

I tow a boat, two , three times a week, have towed as far as 300 miles, not a problem , of course, not hilly here, and I tow with respect to my boat, my truck and others on the road..I also don't want to burn all my green backs on gas, so I go slower when I tow.. I have a factory tow package, what e...

Donnie

do you have an automatic transmission, white smoke, indicates you could have sucked some trans fluid into the engine, which if you get too much could cause an hard start ...????

Donnie

Had yet to replace it, so to today, rainy and pulled it into the garage and did just that, not a big problem, broke all connectors loose before taking the main hold down bolt out ant then is was a breeze..
Run better, don't know, but doesn't hurt to keep it clean.

Donnie

Took the unit out, has the fog lamp attached, took and filled it with water and tipped it up, saw that water was coming out of one corner and that was the only one, took air hose and put bit of pressure on it, and it indeed came out , must come in, at that point, took some super glue and then a smal...

Donnie

Ok, does it work, is it worth the money...also, seen on ebay a little gizmo that fools the computer , tells it the wrong temp, they claim some power increase, any one bought one?

Donnie

any ideals as to how to stop this?

Donnie

Well drove about seventy miles today, tell you this is tough, its quiet, not use,(not complaining) to this, like having a new truck...
Got home and gave the truck a bath, nice cool water, good soap, cleaned all the bugs...truck likes that.......now for some MUD!!!!

Donnie

Ok, I don't want to raise it alot, just a bit, help with towing my boat, keep the rear from sagging , and I don't want to spend a ton, just spent enough on the rear end. So suggest, let me get some ideals..
Don

Donnie

Add this to the list, carbon build up in the intake and throttle body...clean it out with a good spray, and see what happens..

Donnie

Well picked up the unit this morning, had to put my ring gear on and the rear end tech at the dealer said to just put the gear mating on the ring gear in several spots and turn it both ways to check the alignment. Well when I went to install the unit found that it was really tight, old one just fell...

Donnie

Finished, drove several miles, rear end is quiet, so far, no leaks...thank you to all who helped...maybe I can some day return the favor.
Don

Donnie

Here in Fl its hot, and when the CC warms up I sometimes will get pinging from the engine under acceration, tried various things, gas, cleaning aids but nothing seems to work..any ideals

Donnie

Ok, not a problem, but don't know about the ring gear, when I bought the unit they said only thing I needed was the outer bearings and go, came with all the gears ..guess we will see on Monday morning.
Don

Donnie

Installed aftermarked fog lamps, but what I want to do is hook them up to insure they go off when I turn the truck off, any ideals
Don

Donnie

Does anyone have a password so I may access the " Service .gm.com" website and look at the service manuals?
Don

Donnie

Ok, thank you, but will this apply , I am replaceing the entire unit, which will come from the factory, only thing I need to add is the side bearings..as for shims, are those the two large washer like peices on each side of the side bearings. I found no other shim like items inside?
Don

Donnie

Any tips, it will come from the dealer all together except for the side bearings..I purchased new ones and have them, going to get a different cover gasket, felpro, and have that ready. Have cleaned out the all the crap left from the old bearings tearing up, lots of little metal peices.. My biggest ...

Donnie

Did not know about the gasket, but the relocating the vent hose I did. Had moisture in the fluid, changed and flushed, but this could be the result.
Thanks
Don

Donnie

new here but been doing lots of reading, my 04 ZR5 started makeing some noise in the rear end, pulled the cover found all sort of metal. Ended up pulling the entire posi unit out, side bearings on right side gone, ate up the unit. I have ordered a new one from a local dealer, 700. bucks, but be here...
