Replying to: dlovesb (Sep 22, 2007 5:41 pm) Funny you mentioned oil. I have 3 friends that own independent shops. One says Mobil 1, another says Royal Purple, the third says buy whatever is cheapest and change at 4K.   To maximize your OCI (oil change interval) I would recommend doing an oil analysis. This site has oil analysis covered as well as some other interesting reading...   http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/

Replying to: b36 (Sep 22, 2007 11:40 am) Last time I used Carfax they listed things like titling, registration, transfer of ownership, etc. So that could be a lot of what you're seeing. I wouldn't worry about it unless you go to sell it and someone tells you there is something bad on Carfax.

Replying to: obyone (Sep 22, 2007 6:14 pm) Be sure to only use AUTO 4wd. That way, if you forget about it and drive on dry pavement, you won't overload the front transfer case while turning. READ your owners manual. I always turn on the AUTOTRAC when its raining. This stops any wheel spin when taking off.

Replying to: obyone (Sep 22, 2007 6:14 pm) Yes, the car was an older maxima stock. My truck was spinning on a wet road all the way down the street going no where. The maxima just said by by after 25 feet! What do you think?
#278 of 340 Older model max do by obyone Sep 24, 2007 (2:42 pm)
0-60 in 6.6 all day long. You would be hard pressed to run 7.5 without wheel slippage. Though I've heard the HD diesel Silverados will run 12.0 1/4 mile with minor mods...
#279 of 340 NewGuy with 1997 Silverado C1500 Questions by tbdomenz Nov 16, 2007 (12:29 pm)
Hello to all, I am new to this forum and recently aquired a 1997 Silverado 5.7L ,185k miles. Looking for a shop manual to take care of a few odds and ends. Anyone know anything peculiar to this model ? Seems to run well and smooth but has some mechanical clacking on startup that fades away in about 5 minutes. Has a "gullwing" double door bed cover that I may want to sell. The cover came from a Canadian company-I think that's where the truck was built. Thinking about a dual exhast setup. Any recommedations and comments would be appreciated.

#280 of 340 1995 GMC Sierra 1500 4X4 Diesel (New to trucks) by christian_jarr Nov 25, 2007 (4:17 am)
New to trucks, and I'm interested in purchasing this SLT with 260,000 km. The previous owner used it to tow a fifth wheel. If well maintained are these trucks and this engine (with the automatic transmission) generally considered reliable?   Thank you Replies to this message: 12ozcurls (Nov 25, 2007 9:40 pm) shadypop5 (Nov 29, 2007 6:32 pm) christian_jarr (Nov 29, 2007 9:54 pm) shadypop5 (Dec 02, 2007 8:23 pm)

Replying to: tbdomenz (Nov 16, 2007 12:29 pm) Hi TBDomenz, AUTOZONE sells the manual for chevy trucks. I have a flowmaster cat back dual exhaust with the 40 series muffler, 2 1/2" chrome long tips. It sounds awesome. David. Replies to this message: tbdomenz (Dec 05, 2007 9:07 am) obyone (Dec 05, 2007 9:13 am) dlovesb (Dec 05, 2007 7:09 pm)
#282 of 340 Re: extended warranty [cathmac] by dlovesb Nov 25, 2007 (7:07 pm)
Replying to: cathmac (Sep 14, 2005 10:30 am) I haven't had the problem of warrenties. When I bought my trucks in the past, there was always a clause somewhere that always profited the dealer in a breakdown and somehow I wasn't covered.. So when I bought my last truck used, I didn't get any warranty other than the 30 day one here in east Mass. As far as Toyota goes the Tundra (used)is the same price as the Tacoma but the Tundra will give you that awesome car ride. Tacoma doesn't. In the Tundra you will lose 3 miles per gallon. Big deal since it is a v8 and the Tacoma is a v6 with a bouncy ride. with a smaller cabin. This info is from my brother inlaw who researched this as he just bought a Tundra. I own a silverado ( bouncy ride) But I'm glad to see you are making the dealers work for their $$!

Replying to: christian_jarr (Nov 25, 2007 4:17 am) well it is about at this milage that things start to break or need to be replaced do to wear, especially if he towed with it. Generally they are considered reliable but with this many miles i dont think it is worth it...
