Replying to: simmons4 (Dec 12, 2007 7:11 pm) Yep thats the DRL. You can temporarily disable them by depressing the dome light switch 4 times. It will come back on with the next startup. There is no permanent off switch.
#300 of 340 Vortec Max 6L rough idling by canw Dec 19, 2007 (8:07 am)
I own a 2008 Chevy Silverado LTZ with the Vortec Max 6 Liter engine. This truck is a 4x4 regular bed with about 3500 miles. When the truck is in gear but stopped (ex. at a stop light) it idles erratically, going up and down several hundred rpm. Then when we're underway, it runs fine. I've had the dealer service guys check it and they tell me everything is within the computer specs--it's just the way the engine was designed. I contacted GM and they tell me the same thing--"it's just the nature of the beast." Anybody else own one of these and experience the same kind of problem?
#301 of 340 What brand of rotors / pads should I buy? by topsail33 Dec 22, 2007 (2:59 pm)
Hi all. I have a '00 Silv ext. cab 4x4, 4.8L auto, with 95k miles.   The parking brake shoes are shot, and the rear rotors look like they're in need of replacement. I had all my rotors turned back around 45k miles.   I was wondering if anyone had comments about Napa-brand rotors / pads? They are the closest parts store to me, and I like them. If not Napa, what would you recommend? OEM ? This is a truck that gets little-use, so I don't need any HD or cross-drilled (over-priced) stuff.   Thanks - Mark Replies to this message: dlovesb (Dec 22, 2007 4:02 pm)

Replying to: topsail33 (Dec 22, 2007 2:59 pm) Hi Mark, I just replaced my brakes. I went with ceramic pads. They last longer and hardly any brake dust. Autozone sells them or even NAPA should. I highly recomend them. How are your brake shields behind the rear brakes? If they are rusted out, you should replace those as long as you are doing the brakes. That is if you plan on keeping the truck. If they are gone then your emergency brakes will go. It is costly for labor for this. I didn't have mine done yet. David.
#303 of 340 Fog Lights by ljtoolman Dec 23, 2007 (2:18 pm)
I have 2002 Silverado. I was wondering , is there any upgrade for the factory fog lights. I have one burned out and would like to upgrade to something brighter. Maybe those "blue lights". Any suggestions ? Replies to this message: dlovesb (Dec 24, 2007 5:37 pm) obyone (Dec 24, 2007 6:01 pm)

Replying to: ljtoolman (Dec 23, 2007 2:18 pm) Well my friend I have also wanted to up grade or add a set of foglights to the extra two vented slots underneath the front bumperof my truck 99 silverado. These lights have a particular shape to them. They are exspensive to replace. I would check to see if you can take the bulb out from behind like your regular headlamp and maybe swap it for a blue bulb similar size. Otherwise if you use aftermarket to fill the space it looks cheap. I did see a silverado with hd headlights and it looks awesome! it is in my neighborhood. it must of cost him a fortune to convert the lights. David

Replying to: ljtoolman (Dec 23, 2007 2:18 pm) The stock bulb requires a Sylvania 880. The upgrade to that is the 893. However, the 893 will melt the plastic housing and possibly cause a fire. How do I know this? Been there done that. Replace the bulb with the 880.
#306 of 340 Headlights by ljtoolman Dec 26, 2007 (9:58 am)
Has anyone tried those new sylvania silverstar ultras ? Are they worth the $50 bucks for two bulbs ? They claim in the add that they give a wider path which would be great where we live due to the large deer population.
