#1393 of 1492 Re: Brake pad and rotor replacement [mailman2] by geo9 Apr 21, 2006 (2:22 pm)
Replying to: mailman2 (Apr 21, 2006 4:44 am) Mail.....ALL rotors on a lightly driven vehicle will show some sort of "rust" on the wear face. Water or moisture will show "rust" on ANY untreated iron or steel surface. A bit of driving will wear the "rust" off.   Here in snow and salt land severe rust will form between the front and back wear surfaces in the heat "slots".   Are your brakes pulsing or giving you any other problems?   Rotors????...yea the price varies greatly. Just put a set on my girls s-blazer.........$39 bucks each. Made in china of course................ Full sizer 6 or 8 bolt rotors get $pendy quick !!!!!!!

Replying to: geo9 (Apr 21, 2006 2:22 pm) Brakes did not feel different. Had the abs sensors replaced under recall. Had them turned a couple years back because of rust. Ever since then, pad wear was going faster than usual. It is better not to have GM's rotors as The same problem would occur

Replying to: obyone (Apr 16, 2006 8:35 pm) You're right to point that out about HID. I think George and I are confusing HID with Halogen. A quick look at the McMaster-Carr catalogue shows there are four types of HID (High Intensity Discharge); Mercury Vapor, Low-pressure Sodium, High-pressure Sodium, and Metal Halide. They all have a long restart and warm-up period so, if they're actually used in automotive applications someone here may be able to inform. Their use is mainly for area lighting, and yes, they are pricey; You can easily pay $100 for one bulb. And as far as the 'no touchy rule' for Halogen, I've seen it on 120V applications, but I'm not sure if it applies to low voltage applications. There's no warning on the Silvania packaging.   I'm intrigued about your comment on the Denali fogs. Not being familiar with there look, do you know if the 2002's are interchangeable with the same year Silverado?   -David Replies to this message: obyone (Apr 24, 2006 3:09 pm)
#1397 of 1492 maintenence by akenaten Apr 22, 2006 (3:22 pm)
My owners manual says to change the engine oil when the DIC tells me to. It also says I should change the oil at least once a year. Is that really enough? On my other vehicles I change oil and filter every 5000 miles. Since this is my first diesel(2006 Sierra 2500HD)how often should I change it and why would a diesel need it less often than a gas engine?

Replying to: noobie1 (Apr 22, 2006 8:41 am) Took me awhile to check if they could be swapped. It appears not as the Sierra/Yukon has round fogs as compared to the elongated ones on the Silverado.   Now if you were to do a conversion on the front end with an Escalade kit perhaps..........
#1399 of 1492 Noisy quarter windows by good_dog_scout Apr 24, 2006 (7:47 pm)
Are there any other option as to replacing the windows on my 2000 GMC extended cab to get rid of the wind noise? I am actually considering gluing them shut with silicon. Any other ideas out there?   I wished the had made the back quarter windows that roll down. Anyone ever see a truck converted that way?

#1400 of 1492 heater blower wont work by wiljman Apr 26, 2006 (3:58 pm)
all fuses are good, fan work when wired directly to the battery, fan doesnt work on any speed. the only thing i can think of is the relay switch. is there a reset to activate relay??? Replies to this message: geo9 (Apr 26, 2006 11:02 pm)
#1401 of 1492 Re: Noisy quarter windows [good_dog_scout] by gmctruck Apr 26, 2006 (6:45 pm)
Replying to: good_dog_scout (Apr 24, 2006 7:47 pm) GM was replacing them under warranty years ago with a redesigned window that supposedly fixed the wind noise problem. There was also a window latch modification that would pull the window in tighter, but I don't remember the exact details since it's been so long ago. A web search might help you find more information on that. The windows can be replaced, but I'm not sure what the cost would be since it's out of warranty.   You would not be able to convert them to roll down windows without major modifications which wouldn't be worth the trouble. Keeping the windows shut all the time seems to help so I don't ever open them on my '99 Sierra.

Replying to: good_dog_scout (Apr 24, 2006 7:47 pm) I think you should convert them to roll down widows. I'm sure an obviously savvy guy like yourself could make it work!
