#313 of 340 Re: 1995 Silverado cutting out [dlovesb] by ljtoolman Dec 29, 2007 (8:03 am)
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
#314 of 340 Re: 2000 What size are the brake caliper Torx bolts? [dlovesb] by topsail33 Dec 29, 2007 (2:53 pm)
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
#320 of 340 Definitely Not Professional Grade by hilltopper86 Jul 24, 2008 (5:35 pm)
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.
#321 of 340 ANYBODY HOME????????????? by otto8 Oct 30, 2008 (9:52 pm)
Anybody still around here with any comments about their GM trucks?   Anybody bought a new GM full sizer lately?   Sure is pretty dead since they split these forums up and closed all the good threads........................
