    Oil Consumption

    Here you can see the place I'm talking about. The dark spot right on the valve seat and the dark groove above the dark spot, where it looks like the valve seat is loose somehow. I'm wondering if the reduced compression could also be a head gasket issue. But as far as I know. If the head gasket...

    Brake pedal chirp

    As far as the chirping noise is concerned, I would actually guess it's the V-belt or some bearing that's chirping. The fact that this increases when the brakes are applied, has to do with the fact, that the servo pump then has to generate more pressure for the hydro boost. So I would first...

    5.3 slap. Treat it or leave it?

    I had a louder clicking noise in the hydraulic lifters on mine and I got into the habit of adding 1 liter of diesel to the engine oil before changing the oil, driving the car for 10 miles and then changing the oil. Diesel dissolves all the oil carbon. When I check my oil before the treatment it...

    Late Game Transmission Fluid Change Rumors or Fact?

    You are right, additional i would say: If you take 100 similar transmissions. 50 never make an oilchange and 50 make regulary all 35.000 Miles an Oil change. Then i guess 5 of the 50 without oilchange will survive 250.000 Miles. And propably 25 or more of the 50 with oilchange will reach the...

    How do I fix this?!

    Well that is no magic. If you have a radio, an amplifier and speakers. You need a wiring plan and than you must identify the relating wires, like permanet plus, ingnition plus, interior light, antenna, plus to switch on amplifier and so on. If you have no idea, about car audio, electric and...

    Late Game Transmission Fluid Change Rumors or Fact?

    Two forms of deposits can form in a transmission. The first is abrasion of the pressure plates, which are made of steel. This is very fine metallic abrasion that normally collects on the magnet in the pan. The second is the friction lining of the friction disks. They have a similar structure...

    Why is it so impossible to get a gas tank

    If your tank cannot be filled past halfway, it is very likely that your evap system is the problem. Since the 90s, every car has had systems designed to prevent fuel gases from entering the environment. They have an activated carbon canister and a vent valve that is open when the car is...

    Rear wheel bearing, replace axle?

    I think it probably depends on how many miles your truck has on it, the rear wheel bearings are actually from my view, no problem, what tends to fail are the front ones. The differential isn't a problem as long as it's in oil. You should change the oil regularly anyway, because oil in...

    What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    I separated from my wife today, which means: My truck will no longer be scratched with diamond rings that I also purchased. No one will put parking dents in my truck anymore and say it wasn't her. No one will carelessly throw their zippered purse into my car and scratch the dashboard anymore...

    Late Game Transmission Fluid Change Rumors or Fact?

    I repair automatic transmissions and all I can say is, that the information that an oil change or flush, which is an oil change, destroy your transmission is incorrect. New oil, or a flush with new oil specified by the manufacturer cannot harm any transmission!!! It's absurd to assume that...

    4 Piston Big Brake Upgrade from 2019-20

    For me, the washers are not appropriate, because you can clearly see, that they do not use the full contact surface that the brake caliper would normally have on the holder. This means that when force is applied, the screws could bend back and forth. This could cause vibration or worse...

    Why is it so impossible to get a gas tank

    Incompetent mechanics seem to be THE industry standard today. And in addition to their abilities, they are also usually good at cheating. That seems to be the same in the USA as in Germany. Frank Zappa sang about this in his brilliant song Flakes in 1979.

When I let the vehicle on ignition, after I stop the engine, five to ten minutes where enough to drain the battery enough, to prevent...

    Why is it so impossible to get a gas tank

    A workshop would make a so-called exclusion of liability when installing a used tank here in Germany and that wouldn't be a problem. This has to work in the USA too. Or am i naiv?
