Replying to: jlflemmons (Aug 19, 2008 7:56 pm) I am looking on how to improve the gas mileage and performance. Are there other things we can do ourselves to the engine? Any additives that actually work out there as well?

Replying to: friend2 (Aug 20, 2008 3:35 pm) Use a premimum NAPA distributor cap with brass electrodes. The AC Delco distributor cap is equipped with aluminum electrodes which will oxidize and fill the cap with alumium oxide dust which will cause spark scatter, especially with the factory high voltage electronic ignition systems. |

Hi, I have a 1995 GMC Jimmy. I have replaced the water pump and thermostat due to a percieved overheating problem. I have a snapon mt2500 that I hooked up to the computer. The temperature is running from 185 degrees to about 195 on the scan took. No over heating. It is cooling just as it should. The gauge reads about 250 degrees. Is this a common problem? How can I fix this problem. temp sending unit? or different gauge cluster? Any ideas? Thanks -Ben

Last week while driving my 97 Blazer i noticed the volt gauge dip down to about 12 and the running lights went out. It immediately went back up to 14 but the lights never came back on. When i restart it the lights come back on again. I had the alternator replaced even tho it tested fine. The battery also tested fine. It continued to happen about 3 times on my 20 mile drive to work every day for the last week. This morning i started it and was backing down the driveway and it died. It restarted and i got it back up the drive. It died again. Now when i try to start it i dont hear the fuel pump. Are these problems related?

Hi I am new to the forums and as such don't have much of an idea how it works. I recently bought a 95 GMC Jimmy and have noticed that the truck seems to dart to the left of right when I am driving. There is also quite a bit of play in the steering wheel. I have also noticed that the truck seems to lean to the passenger front side when turn sharp corners. I am wondering if anyone would have a general idea of what could be causing this problem. The truck is in mint condition other than having 314,000 km, but the engine and transmission were re-built at around 170,000 km. I will be taking it into a shop soon, but i don't want to get ripped off, so I though I would ask here first. Thanks, in advance, for your time and help.

| Does anyone have any info as to why my 4X4 comes and goes as it pleases? The lights on the dash blink or go out completely and the truck runs like garbage and now the service engine soon light comes on. It feels like the brake is on until it gets into second gear (auto trans). If I manually shift gears it's not as bad, though (again...auto trans). I've been searching for related issues for 4X4 problems but can't find any. I'm trying to diagnose this myself so I don't have to pay a mechanic a couple hundred bucks just to look at it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. | |
