well im pretty young so people tell me and im a strong believer in the old ways. i specifically chose a year i could work on myself actually. that doesnt even sound right if you ask me. makes more sense to replace the filter. me and the mechanic cut my old one up and saw the little metal grit...
i hear ya but my main concern here was the filter replacement. gotta drop the pan to change it. its changed now so i can change the fluid later on this way if i need to. well if my truck allows me to.
got it changed. the mechanic said my
Automatic Transmission Shifter Cable
is going. said its good for now but to do it ASAP whether its with them or I do it myself. any idea how difficult changing this is?
UPDATE:
i attempted to do the filter change and fill myself. once i got set up it was going pretty smooth. the bolts came out easily just was making a mess of the fluid. the issue came when i tried to remove the pan. the muffler pipe is too close doesnt give clearance. theres also something on...
changed out the gas cap and i still get the CEL with this code. replaced with Ac Delco original part. what should i look at next? i dont see any gas leaks anywhere but i do smell gasoline in the air sometimes around the truck on start up.
i thought about doing that but seeing as whats in there seems good still i just want to do the filter change and refill. just wasnt sure what to use since im only adding a couple quarts
Update: did the front diff, the transfer case, and the rear diff with a diff cover switch out. running Mobil1 synthetic in everything. now heres the question for the last part of this 100k maintenance. my transmission fluid is pink. the manual says to do a filter replace and change. ive come to...
thanks for the info guys. appriciate it. does it say on the RPO code what size differential cover this truck has? gonna order some new ones to put on when i change the fluids. want to get the right size.
yea the M1 says 75k miles too but i felt thats kind of low for a car..but then again im not a mechanic maybe im just used to seeing 300k+ cars alot lol i figured id start the HM version once i get the 100k maintenance done. keep everything on the same level. not sure if ittl make difference but...
i was thinking of going with Mobil1 for all the fluids. any one running mobil 1 in all their gears and stuff? the Amsoil looks good but kinda pricey there
I decided i will do the front, and rear differential myself, maybe the transfer case. Problem is that im gaving an issue finding out exactly how much oils and which oils i need exactly. can anyone tell me how much i need for the front, back and transfer case and what type of fluid? im gonna have...
