Unless the metal inside is rusted and crunchy......:D

True, the one on my brother's Tahoe was like that. It was falling off so I tried to help him get it to stay on by squeezing it with a pair of channel locks. But the I heard it crunching apart. We found a nice looking gasket in the junkyard though for only $20. I didn't I install it though, that was right before he had it painted back in 2006, so he had his painter install it during re-assembly after the paintjob.

Getting ready to change the oil in my 2004 Suburban and I noticed today that the DIC says oil life is 0% but it has not flashed an oil change type warning. Since this is the first time since I bought it that the oil needs changing I was wondering why no warning? A co worker said sometimes it has to go so many miles past 0% before it issues one. I started researching this which lead me to this GMC page http://www.gmc.com/gmc-life/performance-and-design/what-your-oil-life-monitor-tells-you.html and one thing that caught my attension was "An engine contains thousands of moving parts, like valves, pistons, camshafts, and so on. " I call BS I don't believe for one minute there can be 2000 moving parts in an engine. Does anyone have a list of parts and a number. I would think a v8 would fall far short of their number just wondering.

So far then, it's only 2006....


Might be the LS trim though?

No complaints, but I do not have some of the bells and whistles of the LT and above trim levels. Actually kind of like it that way compared to my mechanics LT.

Yep, then it's only useful as a stylish necklace or a kung fu headband:893karatesmiley-thu

And buy a new one at $100+ or like Scotty said find a solid one at a junkyard for $20-
