    What is your favorite penetrating oil?

    Pb blaster for me too. Although I know a couple people who swear by the atf and acetone. They keep it in a squeeze bottle so you can just shake it up to mix it before using

    What did you do to your GMT today?

    Replaced the blower motor controller on my wifes envoy. They tried to sell me the resistor for the manual ac but thanks to this site I knew I needed the one with the three wires for the auto climate control. They told me that the one they showed me was the only one they had for the envoy. I...

    Passenger Side Window problem

    I had the same problem with my wife's envoy. My local mechanic used to be an electronic technician. He told me that none of the components on the switch needed to be replaced but in order to fix the switch he had to repair one of the traces on the board. Cost me $80.00 in total including re &...

    Loss of engine power

    Pretty sure 87% is correct for fully open on these engines. The thing I am wondering about is the fuel trims. It is pulling out almost 10% fuel which is a lot even if it isn't enough to throw a code. Something is making it run rich or think it is running rich and it's making the fuel trims go...

    What did you do to your GMT today?

    Pulled the air suspension and put in coils and new shocks. Expected it to be a pain in the a** on a 10 year old truck up here in the salt belt but it was a piece of cake. Funny how something that you think is going to be difficult is easy sometimes and other times you takes two hours trying to...

    problem after replacing fuel level sending unit

    Yep all is well now. Car runs and check engine light is gone. Three sets sounds like a great idea. You don't realize how often you move your head a few inches to get things in focus until you can't do it.

    problem after replacing fuel level sending unit

    So it was a combination of stupidity and old age. Stupidity because I didn't put the fuel back in that i had syphoned out and the angle I had the truck jacked up at didn't allow the 1/2 gallon I had left in the tank to get picked up. Old age was the -5. It seems whenever I work under a car...

    problem after replacing fuel level sending unit

    Sorry for the novel but thought it was best to put down what i have already tried Background info Replace the sending unit about a year and a half ago. The seal was rotted and a little torn up but I reused it anyways because there was no place I could get one on a Sunday and wife needed the...

    Brakes Applied Themselves

    Had a similar problem with an old car that had sat for a long time. One of the pads was sticking on the slider and when the brake were applied it flexed the Backer plate causing the friction material to come of from the leading edge of the pad. Most of the times when the brakes were applied it...
