| 1996 chevy 3500 dually, 454 vortech, just put on new intake, radiator, themostat about 500 miles ago. I noticed there was oil in the radiator. I drained, it, flushed it, put that block sealer stuff in. Followed directions, filled it back up with water and let it run. The return hose from the motor is still flowing lots of oil. It's not showing any oil presher on the gauge. The oil is full on the dipstick. So whats next? Thanks joe | |

Replying to: robin17 (May 16, 2008 6:55 pm) Have you had any respones to you post. I have a 2002 5.3 1500 with 125,000 miles and it does the same thing from a dead stop, but I still have driveability. I can still get to highway speeds, just takes a while. I replaced the fuel pressure regulator today, but it did not fix the problem. I tried to get codes from the system, but the reader will not connect. |

Hi all, 2004 Silverado 2500, 6.0L, 2wd, automatic tranny, 74,000 miles. Last week while towing a horse trailer on a VERY hot day, the "reduced engine power" engaged. The manual explains this as usually being related to the cooling system, but the coolant temp read apprx. 210 degrees. After this happened I changed the air filter, oil filter and oil, tranny fluid and filter, drained and replaced the coolant. This morning (on a not so hot day) it did the same thing, again while towing. Other bits of info: I haven't done any other maintenance thus far. Original plugs, wires, fuel filter, pcv valve and so forth. The first time it happend the only symptom was "reduced engine power." This morning it also has the check engine light on, but again, the temp reads 210 range and the transmission temp is normal too. The fan is turning, (but I haven't checked yet to see if it increases with RPM.) Any suggestions would be helpful because I'm baffled. If the temp were up I'd be inclined to examine the rest of the cooling system but that's not the case. Thanks in advance. If so inclined I'll even take phone calls at 214-876-1217

Anybody have solid documented proof that these "spacers" really work? Can't find any documented info on the web. Thanks
