    Useless Information

    Ah, yeah I stopped updating my Fuelly log because it was just depressing :). I have never run E85 because it isn’t available in Canada (or at least not in Manitoba), possibly because it gets too cold here or maybe we don’t have the same incentives to use it so it’s not cost effective. Not sure...

    Transmission fluid flush with filter change

    Hi Shannon, It varies depending on which variant of the transmission you have, but the information is right there in your owner’s manual. :) Mine is a 2009, and I have the six speed. I believe yours is still the four speed, so I won’t give you my capacities, but in the manual under the...

    Drivers windshield washer

    Thanks for this thread folks! My passenger side has suffered from almost non-existent flow since I bought the truck. I just lived with it since the driver’s side usually sprays far enough to make up for it. ;) Come some warm weather I’ll give this a shot too.

    OBD2.......What do you have ?

    I second BlueDriver if you don’t want to spend too much money (I paid about $100 CAD). That’s what I used until I got my Tech 2 Chinese clone from eBay. That’s where it’s really at if you can swing it. It’s not crazy expensive either considering what you can do with it and the money you’ll save...

    Fuel Trims Crazy???

    Sorry James, I don’t know what the data mean yet. However that sure sounds nice! :)

    Oil pressure sensor woes - are there different varieties?

    An ode to the saga of the oil pressure sensor replacement, sung to Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah"... >>> Now I've heard there was a secret cord By the firewall, design we abhorred Now you don't really care for knuckles, do ya? Well they skinned like this, the fourth, the fifth Your spirits fall...

    Wife's parking

    I have no comment. :) My wife drives an itty bitty (by comparison) Chevy Cruze and as much as she loves the XL as our family hauler, camper tower, etc, she loves being a passenger in my ride and is terrified to drive it herself.

    I certainly will... it just hasn’t happened yet. :)

    Stock Top Speed?

    Is that all you guys can do on your trucks?? Psshhhh indeed. I reached the governor at I think it was 153 or so completely stock!! Oh wait, I’m in Canada. That’s 153km/h :)

    BCM changes? Dealer only?

    @LanceD I ordered this one from eBay, seller is “discountparts_90”. http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemVersion&item=222552451148&view=all&tid=2033498562012 Make sure you specify GM English V33.004. When you get it and can’t quite get the card into the top slot, just use a pair of...

    fuel pump change

    This is great because I never need to purchase anything from there before my 5% code expires. It’s nice to have a code from here at the start of the process instead of at the end. :)

    I didn't know we had discount codes for RockAuto here. Good to know, thanks Wes!

    Oil pressure sensor woes - are there different varieties?

    Hey James, Ahhhh, that little tidbit seems like the missing link. We’ve got a blizzard coming this weekend, so I’ll probably give it a go next weekend. I was definitely not trying to slide that tab up, hence my difficulty. Thanks James! I’ll let you know how it goes.

    p0420 help

    Hey Matthew, From the service manual, short and long term fuel trims should be "Near 0%". The HO2S sensors for both banks, sensors 1 and 2, just state they should be "10 - 1000mV and varying". In my truck, both "sensor 1"s pulse pretty regularly from about 65mV to under 900mV. Sometimes they...

    Finally getting a Tech2

    Most definitely, the remote start will be very appreciated once again! Well, after I replace the oil pressure sensor, but that’s a tale for another day. :D I’ve been very jealous of my wife’s winter heat in her Chevy Cruze with her itty bitty 1.4L 4 cylinder turbo engine that heats up so...

    Finally getting a Tech2

    You’ve got a good eye, James! The CANdi module was not attached. The documentation (because I *ALWAYS* read the documentation first :rolleyes:) described the cables and connectors required for hardware initialization, so those were all I had used to that point when I took the screen shot...

    Finally getting a Tech2

    Guilty as charged. :emotions34: I wanted to make sure it powered up and loaded properly first so I could let the seller know what’s going on and was going to read the instructions to use it after. :badidea: I clearly didn’t realize I needed the instructions to even power it up the first time.

    Finally getting a Tech2

    When all else fails, RTFM... The section called “Initial Hardware Installation” under “Getting Started” may have been a good place to turn first. :oops: But I can’t help it, this whole Tech 2 adventure has been such a rollercoaster of emotions, and I was too excited for it to work! Here is...

    Finally getting a Tech2

    Oh, I’m so excited!!!: What?!? :Angry:: Has anybody seen this before? Is my card blank after all? Sigh, I hope I don’t have to wait another two weeks for a replacement card from China. The saga continues...

    Finally getting a Tech2

    And to make matters worse, the pictures aren’t even showing up LOL Trying again using “Upload a File” instead of dragging and dropping the images inline with the text (which looked like it was going to work just fine while composing the message). Let’s try this again! :D Before: That...

    Finally getting a Tech2

    Before: That opening is WAY too small: Nurse, scalpel please: Not the cleanest job, but I can tidy this up easily enough: PCMCIA card fits in like a glove now: Oh, I’m so excited!!!: What?!? :Angry:: Has anybody seen this before? Is my card blank after all? Sigh, I hope I don’t have to...

    Things to check for low mpg

    Hi Charles, Is that +20% or -20% for your LTFT?

    Finally getting a Tech2

    Hi James, No, my experiment with premium (91 around here) wasn’t that lengthy or detailed. Shell premium has no ethanol, so I was trying a couple of 0% ethanol tanks to see if that would reset my alcohol percentage prior to purchasing the Tech 2. It didn’t of course. Premium is usually around...

    Finally getting a Tech2

    Hi Mark, When I put mine into the bottom slot and powered up the Tech 2, it went into what looks like a software download mode waiting for a connection from a PC. I figured “future use” may have also included card programming, but if yours works in the bottom slot I hope I didn’t get shipped a...
