Replying to: abucker (Aug 03, 2009 6:03 am) Before you do that though, is the knock a loud metal to metal sound, or is it more like a click? And is it worse when the engine is cold or when it's warmed up?

My wife and I both have Buick Rainer -V8s - 2006 & 2007. My wife's 2006 which has 50K mikes on it - is burning way too much oil - about a quart every 1500 miles. There are no leaks or drips on our garage floor and I don't see any blue smoke coming from the exhaust. We regularly get the oil changed every 6,000 miles My 2007 Rainer (35,000 miles) - uses a bit less - a quart every 2000 miles. Is there a known problem with these V8 GM engines used in the Rainers? Any possible warranty claims? What solutions do any of you techs have to stop the oil usage?

If it is brown or tinged brown, change the transmission fluid to add years and miles to the life of your transmission. Change axle fluid per the owners manual recommendations. There really isn't any indicator otherwise except to keep the level up to spec.

My 2003 Bravada has 42K miles on it and in the past few weeks the ride off he front suspension seems to have greatly deteriorated. The Bravada used to ride smoother than my wife's Chrysler 300M, but now when a front wheel hits a man-hole cover dip I get a big bang and jolt. Had an alignment and new tires done in spring. Air suspension on rear axle seems to still be very compliant. Any thoughts on the sensibility of replacing the front Bilstein shocks that came stock with the Bravada and some of its sisters. |
