You asked the question, "I wonder why the valve springs stick". I have a 2.8 2005 Colorado that had the exhaust valve springs replaced. A GM dealer shop manager told me that they were told that the valve spring vendor shipped GM incorrect weight (too light) valve springs. So much for quality control!

I have a question on these Rear Vents. Has anyone had them replaced? I found TSB 06-08-66-008 "Revised Pressure Relief Valve Replacement". It contains revised information on the rear vent replacement. My 2005 Colorado has a lot of road noise and you can hear the vents opening and closing when there is wind and the windows are closed. The noise is very annoying. From this TSB, I get the impression that an earlier TSB was replacing the rear vents

I have a 2004 I5 with auto trans. Lately when I start my truck in the morning the starter skips a little. I know it has some kind of system that all you have to do is turn the key to the start pos. and let up and it will start the truck. Has anyone noticed this with there truck?

What rear vents are you talking about; the pressure relief valves in the doors?

I guess you call them pressure relief valves. On my extended cab 2005 Colorado, they are on the both side of the back of the cab. Whenever there is a slight bit of wind, the are flapping and making a lot of noise.

I don't believe they are supposed to flap in the wind. No matter what we are talking about, I don't know of anything that is supposed to be loose like that. See if you can reach them and snap them in place or if a fastener is missing. I'd bet that's your problem.

Those are part of the flow through ventalation. These came to be when the auto makers did away with the little vent windows. When running heat/vent/air there needs a way for the air in the cab to leave creating a flow. Hence these valves. All vehicles have them to an extent. Some vans you see louvers built into the back corners near the windows. But they shouldn't flap and make noise that bothers the people inside.

I had a similar experience once several years ago, but fortunately the wheel didn't come off...I kept hearing an odd noise in one wheel, and I finally stopped a took off the center hubcap...all the lug nuts were loose, and one or two were actually off the wheel. I tightened them up, and then called the dealership to complain, but that was the extend of it.
You're VERY lucky it was a rear wheel instead of the front!
