#970 of 1033 Cranking by motorhead1 Jul 09, 2006 (12:56 pm)
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?

Replying to: pjjbm (Jul 08, 2006 10:51 am) What rear vents are you talking about; the pressure relief valves in the doors? Replies to this message: pjjbm (Jul 16, 2006 3:40 am) mike2250 (Jul 16, 2006 5:31 am) dmathews3 (Jul 16, 2006 7:17 am)

Replying to: mike2250 (Jul 09, 2006 2:10 pm) 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. Replies to this message: mike2250 (Jul 16, 2006 5:31 am) dmathews3 (Jul 16, 2006 7:17 am)

Replying to: pjjbm (Jul 16, 2006 3:40 am) 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. Replies to this message: dmathews3 (Jul 16, 2006 7:17 am)

Replying to: mike2250 (Jul 16, 2006 5:31 am) 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!

I just wonder what the dealership is going to do because this is totally their fault and now I WANT a whole new driveshaft, rear axle and brakes. I left a long skid mark in the cement on the 407! Replies to this message: dmathews3 (Jul 16, 2006 2:45 pm)

Replying to: sadrobyn (Jul 16, 2006 1:38 pm) I think I would contact a lawyer too.
#979 of 1033 TIRES by sadrobyn Jul 16, 2006 (5:07 pm)
OK, I own a 2005 Colorado with 43,000 kms om it, 25 days ago I took it to John Logan Chev Olds... to do some repairs. WELL, they rotated my tires and fixed my brakes.    Yesterday my boyfriend and I are driving on the 407 doing 110km and we start swerving through all lanes of traffic then we hear a big bang and the truck drops. My speedometer is going up and down like crazy and I can't steer or brake! We drifted off the road and onto the left shoulder. I got out and look at the rear end of my truck, to my surprise.... my tire was GONE. all I saw was what was left of my breaks and there was brake fluid spewing out everywhere. The 407 patroller found my tire 500m away and the wheel lugs were still in the cover that goes on the front. SO, John Logan is now dead for their crappy service that they did on my truck that almost killed me.
