#37 of 76 ANYONE by ygmn Dec 11, 2001 (1:35 pm)
Does anyone have any problems yet?   I have NONE after 4.5k miles.   If interested I have my original luggage rack in the bed unopened. I have not had it installed by the dealer yet. Not sure if I want it installed either. Anyone interested speak up.
#38 of 76 "Change Engine Oil" Message by tabberkl Dec 15, 2001 (8:57 am)
What is the proper procedure for re-seting the "Change Engine Oil" message in the message center. The procedure in the owners manual does not appear to work.   Thanks
#39 of 76 (change engine oil) light by Jvodka Dec 15, 2001 (3:41 pm)
Turn key forward, do not start engine. press pedal (accelerator) 6 times as fast as you can. turn key to off, and your done. When you start your engine light SHOULD be gone.
#40 of 76 If I'm not mistaken by txyank1 Dec 16, 2001 (9:35 am)
the manual states 3 times in 5 seconds, which has always worked for me. Maybe it should say "at least 3 times".
#41 of 76 3 Times Worked for me by cuss1 Jan 22, 2002 (7:13 pm)
I followed the instructions in the manual (3 times) - worked fine - just give the indicator a few seconds to flash once you've floored the accelerator 3 times.
#42 of 76 Hood Gasket / Hood Deflector by cuss1 Jan 22, 2002 (7:14 pm)
Have you noticed now that we have salty spray on winter roads that the engine compartment gets really dirty? Other vehicles I own(ed) have a gasket at the front lip of the hood to seal the salt spray from entering the engine compartment. I suppose I could fabricate a similar gasket. Why did Chevy cut yet another corner?    Would the GM Bug Shield cover the hood / grill gap and block all of that spray from entering the engine compartment?
#43 of 76 stuff underhood by ygmn Jan 28, 2002 (6:59 am)
I have not noticed any salt under my hood but I live in a snowless state.   I do notice some dead bugs once in a while but they wash off easily enough.
#44 of 76 Deflector block by timfarn Jan 28, 2002 (9:44 am)
I've got the deflector and it doesn't stop the mess under the hood. The insulation on the underside of the hood was soaked after the last snow.
#45 of 76 How much oil? by frule Feb 01, 2002 (6:56 am)
I have a 5.3l Avy and recently changed the oil for the first time(to Mobil 1).It took 7 quarts for oil/filter!My pressure gauge typically reads 60 psi when underway.So,is the dipstick correct?Six quarts didn't even show on the stick on perfectly level ground.Any opinions?........Thanks!
#46 of 76 6 Quarts by timfarn Feb 04, 2002 (4:42 pm)
takes mine about 3/4 through the add mark. I just put in the 6 and go. 60# at 2,000 RPM and just under 50# at idle.
