Replying to: rob05 (Aug 30, 2009 6:59 am) Funny, Our 2k LS has 45k miles on it and I just sprayed our ISS 2 days ago, usually once a year. never any need to replace it, that is the biggest scam going. My friend is a mechanic for a poolice dept that has that issue and he never replaced one ISS, one squirt and good to go. Glad to help.

Replying to: 2k_impala_ls (Aug 30, 2009 4:38 pm) Even funnier...I sold my 2k Impala almost 2 years ago, but I still regularly spray pbblaster on the ISS...of my next door neighbor's '04 Impala LS!!! My new neighbor on the other side of our house also has what looks like an '03, how long before he learns my secret and I end up maintaining his too!!

i just purchased a 2005 impala - 50,000 miles - i presume this car has a timing belt, not a chain like my silverado, correct? what is the recommended mileage to have it changed if belt ? Replies to this message: nosirrahg (Sep 15, 2009 9:55 am) revjim64 (Nov 27, 2009 8:38 am)

Replying to: rob05 (Sep 10, 2009 7:57 pm) I'd have to dig around a little more, but I'm pretty sure the Impala has a timing chain instead of a belt...I don't recall any maintenance guideline about replacing a belt at some certain mileage point. I drove mine for 114k miles before I sold it (3.8l engine) and never replaced a timing belt; I did have the serpentine belt replaced that runs all the accessories (i.e. the "fan belt") just as a precaution at maybe 70-80k miles, but that's it.
#13535 of 13540 2004 Malibu over heating? by ark5 Nov 27, 2009 (6:29 am)
During warm up, my Malibu will not heat. I will increase idle speed and at times, will get too much heat. When this happens the temp gauge is in normal range. Other times I will get no heat at idle and after driving < 1 mile the temp gauge will go into the red range and drop back down to normal. At other times in the red range, the car will power down to minimize damage and then return to normal. The water pump and thermostat is new. The intake gaskets have been replaced as well. I am taking a beating on repair costs and am still experiencing problems. There is no smell of fluid therefore, I assume heater core is fine. Has anyone experienced similar issues and found a solution? Replies to this message: revjim64 (Nov 27, 2009 8:32 am) ark5 (Nov 27, 2009 3:56 pm) revjim64 (Nov 30, 2009 7:08 am)

Replying to: ark5 (Nov 27, 2009 6:29 am) When you replaced the thermastat and waterpump did you have the cooling system flushed? If not, you may want to flush the system. You may also want to get a new radiator cap too. If they go bad they won't release the pressure when the coolant temp gets hot.   Also, Verify that the electric fan is coming on. When the engine gets hot, pop the hood open and check to see if the fan comes on.   You may also have a defective thermostat.   Or, your worse case scenario, is that you have a leaky headgasket.   Good Luck Replies to this message: ark5 (Nov 27, 2009 3:56 pm) revjim64 (Nov 30, 2009 7:08 am)

Replying to: rob05 (Sep 10, 2009 7:57 pm) The 2005 Impala V-6 has a timing chain.   You do have a serpentine belt that operates the power steering, ac, and the waterpump. You may want to change the serpentine belt every 20k or 2yrs.   The belt costs about 20-25bucks and is easy to install.
