I hope my van counts as a truck?  Anyway, I was looking at some old
posts and saw some real good gas mileage reports.  My van has the 5.7
Vortec and "highway gears".  Since it was new I averaged 11 to 13
combined city/highway and if I'm lucky I'll get 14 on the highway (going

to be haveing alternator problems and also glow plug relay switch
problems my truck when running stays about a constant 11.5 volts i

Over the last 4-6 months my Tahoe has been giving me problems
accelerating when I give it a heavy foot. When I hit the gas down
anywhere past about 60-75% down it loses acceleration almost like it's
being starved of air or gas. I can even hear a pop every now and then

i am getting ready to put new heads on my truck..chevy 350... but i am
using my old rockers and pushrods. I know there is no specifc torque for
the rocker studbolts..like there is for v6 and later model v8...i know
that after getting TDC on #1 i tighten the bolt until i feel no play ...

Anyone had a problem with a 2002 chevy tahoe where the wipers wont shut

MOTOR IS ON A PULL. I HAVE HAD IT CODED AND IT SAYS 4th CYLINDER MISS FIRE. I

I am curious if there are any 4x4/offroad, dirt bike, snowmobile and
atv'ers here ? I really enjoy the threads in this group. I also like
visiting nsohvforum.com which is Nova Scotia based for people who enjoy
the sports within the province. :D

My '87 Suburban, 5.7L, started acting strange recently.  Upon cold
start-up, it idles very low and I have to keep the accelerator
depressed to keep it from stalling until it warms up. I suspect the
idle air control valve on the TBI unit but I'm not sure.

I tried replacing the hinge pins and bushings on the door.  It went
pretty well except I don't know how to get the spring back on.  Also, I
believe the a hole or two on the hinge have enlarged.  How much does it
cost for a shop to put new hinges on?  By the way, I'm basically an

Ok-I'm open to all pieces of advise.   I have a 2004 Siverado 2500.
Very nicely equipped truck.  Tho I had several warranty issues early
on, all seems OK now.  My hope/plan is to keep this truck for many
years...how about 10 years....I don't know what to do when my warranty

I recently purchased this truck. It is a 5speed 2.2l 4cylinder with 145K
miles. I bought it in the hopes of saving some gas instead of driving my
k2500 around all the time. I've had it about 3 months now and have been
consistently getting 13 - 15 mpg! I had a '94 a few years back ...

The plan is to buy a chassis new from the factory, and turn it over to
a coachbuilder to buildup a mobile office.
Which is a better starting point - a bus chassis or a truck chassis?
Note - this will happen in Asia - neither a ford nor a chevy is likely

I recently purchased new tires for my 2004 Chevy 2500HD 2wd and got a
slightly larger size - specifically LT265/75 R16 versus the old tires at
LT245/75 R16.
By using my GPS as a control, with my old tires the speedometer would

I just had a used transmission put into my 96 Blazer, however where there
were NO leaks before, now there seems to be a fairly substantial amount of
transmission fluid leaking near the passenger side front wheel.  Any idea why
this is happening?  Also after the transmission was ...
