I keep getting a CEL popping up very often now and every time I connect my scanner is says Bank 1 and Bank 2 knock sensors low input. Does this mean I need to replace the knock sensors? This same code was coming on about a year ago, and I happened to actually "accidentally" get rid of it by...

If I do an engine swap from a 5.3 to a 6.0, I know I will need a tune update. My question is would that just be a regular tune update? Or since I am doing an engine swap, would I have to purchase another tune? :dunno: Justin tuned my truck in Feb 2010 in New Orleans. I do remember him saying...

I have an early 50's Chevy truck that I need to replace a wheel on. I'm not sure of the exact year of the truck. How would I find out if a mid to late 90's 8 lug Chevy wheel will fit on it. The problem is one of the wheels is a 16.5 and rather than try to find a 16.5 tire, I think it will be...

About a year or so ago, I replaced my alternator pulley with a smaller one to gain a little more amperage at idle (since I had converted my truck to E-fans). This ended up putting some more slack in the serpentine belt. So much slack that on cold mornings I would sometimes hear the belt...

I'm getting ready to replace the spark plugs on my 01 Chevy 5.3 engine. I have already ordered the AC Delco 41-110 Iridium plugs from Rockauto. I thought it was odd that they were not listed as a replacement for my truck. I had to manually enter the part number in order to purchase them...

I have been adding a bottle of the Amsoil PI to my fuel tank at every oil change for a few years now. I recently started getting a CEL for the knock sensors. I reset it and the code would come back a day or two later. I was dreading changing the knock sensors, but I was getting ready to order...

I saw this wheel on a Suburban this morning . I really like the way they look. I'd like to find out more info about it if anyone knows the name of this wheel and/or who makes this wheel. The face of the wheel is machined with black accents on the edge of the spokes, and the wheel lip/rim...

I've been with State Farm for over 15 years. I've never had any problems with them and they have always been fair on any claims, and pretty fast in handling the claim also. But now we get a letter today saying that they will not renew the auto policy because of the accident my wife had a month...

On Sunday afternoon I got a frantic call at work from my son. My wife was in an accident and wrecked her car pretty good. My daughter was also in the car with her. Thank god there were no serious injuries. :halo: My 8 year old daughter has a pretty large abrasion on her neck from the seatbelt...

I have a set of white gauge cluster needles from a 2000 Denali. Should fit all 95-00 GMT400 gauge clusters. You can grab em for only $20 shipped. (In the US.)

I have a instrument cluster from a 2006 Chevy 2500HD for sale. It has been upgraded with blue LED backlighting. It also has a trans temp gauge, and has 144k miles on it. Looking for $200 shipped (in the lower 48 states).

I am getting a SES light popping up. Checked the code and all that's popping up is P0440. Cleared the code and it came back on a few hours later. Replaced the gas cap since that's what seems to be the first thing that pops up on Google. Cleared the code again and it came right back on the next...

I woke up this morning and my tire was flat as a pancake. After removing it to install the spare (which is a severe pita to remove from under the truck BTW) I noticed that it has not one but two nails in it. One nail in the tread, and one in the sidewall. No shop will repair a hole in the...

A friend of my wife has a 97 suburban. Her husband claims its not getting fire. He claims the spark plugs, wires and fuel filter have all recently been changed. Its turning over but will not actually start and run. My wife volunteered me to go look at it for them. :face palm: Of course she...

I am in the process of upgrading my 01 Suburban to the 03-06 GMT800 DL3 power folding and turn signal mirrors. I am looking for a turn signal wire in the dash. I would rather not have to tap in under the hood and run wires back into the cab if at all possible. I have already figured out...

For those of you looking to replace your boring stock stereo in you 07+ GM truck, you will not find a better deal than this. The mounting kit and harness alone for an aftermarket Nav unit will cost you over $100. For a direct factory replacement, with Navigation as well, plus USB, ipod control...

Kinda been tossing around the idea of selling my Suburban. Its a 2001 with a 5.3 engine, has about 120,000ish miles on it. Its a 2wd LS trim package, has 3.73 rear end. I purchased the truck in January 2006 for $16,900 with 52k miles on it. Since then it has always had Mobil1 synthetic oil in...

...and preferably with the owner still inside of it. :jester:

I have been needing some new shocks for the Burban for a few months now. Now that I got a few bucks back on my tax return, its time to pull the trigger. Any recommendations on what I should get?:dunno: I do 95% street driving, and 5% off road (dirt roads really). Comfortable ride and good...

I just had my Transmission rebuilt in October. I put about 2500 miles on it since then. Is there a break in period? I mean, after so many miles should I flush the transmission fluid? Is so, about how many miles should I drive it before replacing all the fluid? :dunno:

I noticed yesterday that I have oil seeping from the oil pan gasket now. Is there a write up anywhere on replacing the gasket? Its a 2001 Chevy with a 5.3 engine. And does the transmission need to come out or moved back some?

Left work tonight, got in the truck it drove fine for a few block then I heard an awful clnag/bang/thud sound from under the truck as I started to accelerate. Then the truck stopped moving, transmission acted like it was in neutral when it was actually in drive. I put it in 3rd gear, and the...

I replaced the valve cover gasket on my wife's 2005 Altima today, because its been leaking oil. Once I got the cover off, I was quite impressed with how clean the inside of the engine is. Son of a bitch looks brand new, yet it has 120k miles on it. There is absolutely ZERO sludge anywhere! I...

Yesterday I was picking my son up from school and the line of cars was really long for some reason. So I parked alongside a ditch across the street (several other cars were lined up there as well). Anyways, I left the engine running and the AC on, and after a few minutes, a warning light came on...

More goodies came in the mail yesterday. Can't wait to put these puppies on. :thumbs:
