Yea, It seems even with the new BIG stout driveshaft the u-joints are
the weak link. As it should be I suppose. I am lucky to get 2 seasons
outta them. I don't hammer the drivetrain either. Always a dead stop before
I change gears. But 3 years and less than 30k miles mostly snowplowing
or towing. Heck...My 04 just turned 13k miles and its almost 2 yrs. old !!!!!!!!!
It makes for a tough life. I LOVE GM warranty service !
 
That work kills just about ANY brand truck !!!!!
But there are guys out there running plows on small rigs like the taco and
swear by them being bulletproof !
 
Just holding out for a new 07 GMT-900 next year !

2001 chevy silverado HD 6.0 2500 by crazeewild
Sep 29, 2005 (12:06 pm)
I purchased a 2001 chevy silverado HD 2500 and have had it for 2 months. 5 times now it wont start. It turns over fine and acts like it may start but it wont. If i wait about 10 minutes and try restarting it it will start then and be fine until the next time.
 
Anyone know of what the problem could be???
Any help would be appreciated...
 
Thanks

See the gold thing that the vacuum line attaches to in the picture. Thats the FPR. Easy to remove.
 
Relieve pressure to system (open gas tank cap)
Remove the vacuum line
With some plyers remove the retainer on the FPR
Pull the FPR out
Put new FPR in
Attach retainer
Plug vacuum line back in
Put gas cap back on
 
5-10 min job very easy!

DON"T FORGET TO CHECK IF ITS LEAKING by geo9

Run the truck, Shut it off, Pull off line at rubber connection.
If line is WET with gas then the FPR is bad and should be replaced.

catback dual exhaust for 04 Z71 Crew Cab by chevymike
Sep 30, 2005 (5:23 am)
I am new to the forum and am wondering if anyone can recommend a stainless steel performance exhaust system for my 04 Crew. I had a 90 Silverado that ran straight pipes and it sounded awesome. The problem was I was replacing the pipes every 2 years due to rust (live in upstate NY). My wife thinks I am crazy to pull off the stock stainless, but I am sick of having my neighbor's minivan be louder than my truck. I have looked at Gibson, Magnaflow and Dynomax and want to be sure which one gives the deepest, throaty sound, especially while idling. Heck, I can care less about the mufflers, I'll go straight pipes from the CAT again.
I would appreciate any feedback regarding the sound of full systems versus straight pipes only. Also, would I have to remove the spare tire? Thanks for your time.
