#311 of 340 Re: 2000 What size are the brake caliper Torx bolts? [topsail33] by dlovesb Dec 29, 2007 (6:54 am)
Replying to: topsail33 (Dec 28, 2007 12:48 pm) Topsail33, if you do any work on your truck yourself, I would buy the mechanic book on your truck. You can pick this up at your locall autozone. It is worth the $15. I would think that you could buy a small kit with all those sockets there as well. I don't believe they would not be exspensive. David.

Replying to: dlovesb (Dec 29, 2007 6:57 am) Good Morning   Yea, I agree with the fuel filters. I just went thru this with my 02 Silverado. The fuel pump finally gave out because I was too stupid to change the fuel filter. It will clog and you`re ok when you are calling for normal fuel flow. When you accelerate it requires increased volume and cannot push that much thru the filter. If I would have used my head I could have saved myself about $900 bucks (tow, etc.) Fuel filters are cheap and easy.   Toolman

Replying to: dlovesb (Dec 29, 2007 6:54 am) Well, it ended up being a T-55 sized Torx socket. I'm not a fan of Chiltons; I've had a few of them over the last 3 decades, and they can be fairly generic. Besides, brakes on Chevys are easy to do, I just don't have that much experience with Torx bolts. Wonder what was wrong with Hex ?   It's all back together and works great now.

#317 of 340 Oil filter adapter by danno4 Jun 20, 2008 (9:27 am)
I have a 1995 Silverado ext cab, 5.7 liter 4x4. I was told that the oil filter adapter was leaking and needed to be replaced. I guess this adapter makes it easier to get the filter on and off. How hard is it to replace? The service station wanted about $150 to do it. I think that's a bit of a rip off. Replies to this message: obyone (Jun 20, 2008 11:22 am) danno4 (Jun 23, 2008 9:28 am)

Replying to: danno4 (Jun 20, 2008 9:27 am) That all depends whether it is the type that is connected to the oil pan or the type screwed onto the old oil filter location. Replies to this message: danno4 (Jun 23, 2008 9:28 am)

Replying to: obyone (Jun 20, 2008 11:22 am) Okay, now you have forced me to crawl under the truck. I'll get back to on that one. Thanks

I have a 2004 GMC Sierra 1500 4x4 Crew Cab SLT with about 39K miles (rarely touches a surface other than pavement). Ever since the warranty ran out after 36 months, I've started having issues. I replaced a water pump and a part in the steering column under the dash (known issue that should have been recalled) at 30K miles (a total of about $700) and today an EBCM for the ABS for $1,100 at 39K miles (this seems to be common problem for GM full size SUVs, trucks, as well as other vehicles). I really enjoy driving it and it feels as sturdy as a rock. However, I just don't believe a modern day vehicle that costs as much as it did should have these issues with so few miles. My last truck was a 1989 Toyota that I drove for 11 years and the only non-routine maintenance issue was a radiator after 9 years and 100K miles.   I really would love to trade it for a Toyota Tacoma, but at 14 mpg and $4/gallon gas, it's not worth very much. Though at this rate, I can't keep throwing good money after bad. Definitely the last GM that I will buy.
