    This "One Price" / "No Negotiation" is Getting Tiring

    The internet's effect on car buying was not a new, untested thing in 2008. It was well in play by that point. Those who choose to be informed are informed, even without the internet. My point is that dealers have more power in the market now and are not making less money on any average...

    Coolant in Oil - What Now?

    Congrats on the swap and refresh! Do you mind sharing what the reman cost you, both for the engine itself and labor cost for the swap? Where are you located?

    This "One Price" / "No Negotiation" is Getting Tiring

    The fact of the matter still remains that dealer consolidation of the 2008 era has hurt buyers and made it more of a sellers market. Everyone knows what happened at that time period.

    Did Bars leaks plug up a cracked Castech cylinder head

    I'm sure Blue Devil is the sheet, but I'm looking to see if anyone used Bars Leaks and it plugged a cracked cylinder head? I find it hard to imagine that it could. I'm actually shocked that it worked in my Tahoe. Makes me think I am just dealing with a degraded head gasket that was...

    Did Bars leaks plug up a cracked Castech cylinder head

    Yes I know it is less than ideal as it plugs anything and everything. I'm just interested in hearing if it could successfully deal with a crack this is going to be regularly expanding and contracting with heat. I used it last month in buying some time until I can tear down my 5.3 and fix the...

    Did Bars leaks plug up a cracked Castech cylinder head

    Anyone used Bars leaks to plug up a cracked Castech cylinder head? Just wondering if it really only works on leaking head gaskets, or if it has any success in dealing with a cracked Castech cylinder head. I know it is only a temp solution.

    Fuel filter change 5.3 2004 Flex fuel.

    What is the RPO code in your glove box? That's really strange that you have a flex fuel vehicle but not external fuel filter.

    New 2 door model

    I'd say Government Motors was at their best in the early 2000's. But then they took my and your (if you're a tax paying citizen) taxpayer money and became a drain on American citizens. When that happened they became lazy and unaccountable. If you've followed the latest generations of SUV as...

    New 2 door model

    Another GM disappointment. That is not a Blazer. Period. Ever since GM became Government Motors and lived off the backs of all of us actual taxPAYERS, they have sucked. This is just more proof of what a disappointment Government Motors is now.

    Factory Bose 6 disc changer, in dash stereo REPAIR

    So I swapped plastic gears in the Eject mechanism and it worked, for a while, but then crapped out again and was no longer able to Eject CD's correctly. I am working with the in dash 6 disc head unit, not the separate units that I believe the Denali came with. I am now looking for a...

    Question for the 01-06 people

    I bought my 04 Tahoe Z71 with 140k and it's rolling 280k this month, a little over 4 years later. This generation is reliable, but not bullet proof. There is the Castech head issue and common oil leaks from the 5.3. I'm on the original engine and trans, but both are showing their age. The...

    Coolant in Oil - What Now?

    That is some of the same results I had in the oil analysis. Have you changed the oil recently? If yes, what did you observe with oil pressure readings? With mine, I noticed a drastic improvement in oil pressure readings. A little over a week ago as a Hail Mary move, I went the "Bars...

    Coolant in Oil - What Now?

    Makes sense. Just asking since the reman engine cost is probably pretty darn close to the value of a 14 year old +- Tahoe. If you plan to keep it forever, then that matters less.

    Coolant in Oil - What Now?

    Yes I was asking. I have 277k on mine and it has good oil pressure, not sure about yours and if that is why you are looking at replacing the whole engine.

    Coolant in Oil - What Now?

    I would ensure your bottom end is toast before dropping the coin for a complete reman. My 04 was making what sounded like a bottom end clatter, but I thought it was more like lifter noise, either from a collapsed lifter or one that was stuck from the water in the oil. The way you describe...

    Coolant in Oil - What Now?

    Yes you need both part #'s. The 2nd part # is an adapter kit that allows the tool to be screwed onto the reservoir in place of the pressure cap.

    Coolant in Oil - What Now?

    In the past, I owned an 01 2500HD CC LB 4wd truck with a 6.0. Yes, I would say a 6.0 is a thirsty engine. I suppose it will react differently in a much lighter weight Tahoe, but others I know with 6.0's have said the same thing....they like to slurp the fuel. YMMV......

    Coolant in Oil - What Now?

    The O'Reilly part numbers you need are 67085 & 67086. Those are right from my receipt as I recently rented the same tool w/ adapter.
