#696 of 1497 BABS by geo9 Sep 28, 2005 (9:10 pm)
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 !

#698 of 1497 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!   Ryan
#700 of 1497 DON"T FORGET TO CHECK IF ITS LEAKING by geo9 Sep 30, 2005 (1:42 am)
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.
#701 of 1497 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. Replies to this message: obyone (Sep 30, 2005 6:15 am)

#705 of 1497 Re: 93' Chevy Silverado- A/C on high/rec or max just barely blows out of vents [junster] by flowerchild64 Oct 01, 2005 (10:32 am)
Replying to: junster (Jul 26, 2005 4:39 am) just now got back to receive my replies, THANKS! for your reply Junster and Cybermac! any help is so greatly appreciated! I will defiantely pass on you guys suggestions! junster, did you buy your 93' new? My husband and I did, while he drove the truck, it was on the 3rd motor, (the one from the factory, 2 others were racing motors, which didn't take him long to blow them) the motor was out of the truck, and he was driving a friends jeep when he had his fatal accident. So, there sat a truck up on ramps or stands, and the motor under the garage, on a motor stand, parts neatly organized, he had even cleaned everything with a pressure washer! I had thought well, the truck was left (or spared) for a reason, or he would have been in it in the wreck. I thought well this will be a perfect starter vehicle for our son.  At the time I had a brand new 2001 Mustang. I thought well eventually I would fix the truck up and use it to take my trash to the dump and transport my gardening supplies. Until a year later when coming home (sm. town) I pulled in to get gas, mind you small town, left my car running all the time, while running in the store to pay for my gas! Well, it caught up with me that night, I filled up, I was the only one there at this convience store I thought,I pulled up to the front door, left it running, it was late july,very hot time of the yr here in texas, i ran in the store, handed the girl my 20 and i turned around and my car was gone! anyway, how stupid, i know, expensive lesson learned, it was some crack-head, they caught up with him over the state line in louisiana, they chased him til he wrecked it , and got out trying to run! I wanted to know if the chase was going to be on COPS?  Ha Ha, anyway, well that's when i decided to fix up the truck and drive it, thinking , it should be that expensive! OMG little did I know the can of worms I had opened! ha It has defiantely been an eye opening experience for sure, I know alot more than I ever did before, and thankful for that! My husband kept the truck in mint conditon it was his baby! I know if he can see from heaven, he would be so proud! its all new again, except the paint and interior. and the only thing inside left to do is the roof replaced (that cloth stuff is sagging) i have pinned it up for the mean time! Its always something so if you see something posted again from flowerchild64, you'll know the story! Thanks again for your time!
