Hey guys? Check your fluid levels and set them correct. If the oil is vaguely red in color and doesn't smell like smoke (still smells like oil), you should be just fine. Change the fluid and filter and be done with it. It the fluid doesn't pass one of those two tests, start looking for a core...

When I got my 95 Yukon at Christmas (156,000 miles), it ran poorly. It made the 2 hour drive home without problems, but was not what I'd call responsive. I dumped in a bottle of injection cleaner, and that worked miracles! I've since done other minor things, and not only is she running great, my...

Nothing a quick Maaco can't fix! Good price, and decent truck (despite the paint)...

I don't know where you are located, but this is the truck for you! http://milwaukee.craigslist.org/cto/1046433446.html

Only under load? You have an exhaust leak, maybe exhaust manifold gaskets, or a cracked manifold itself. Once the engine heats up, the leak "seals" itself through expansion.

Most likely your switch, but the wiper system has a recall on it too, so try that first (since it's free).

Look at the junkyard for what? Buy a gasket kit and repair it. If after that there really is something broken on the engine from the coolant in the oil, THEN look for a replacement engine. You were low on coolant after flushing probably because you didn't "burp" the engine during the refill...

Try neutral... might be your NSS out of alignment or whack. Probably a battery cable issue, but the NSS can be to blame too...

95Twin is onto the real reason- people don't take care of their stuff, and don't understnd how it works, so they have failures. Instead of blaming their own ignorance, they blame the manufacturer, true to the American spirit. The number one cause of transmission failure is HEAT, second to DIRT...

www.summitracing.com is a good place to start... We put a Gibson on my brother-in-law's Ranger 4x4, and it was WAY quiet, but did help a bit with performance (if you can call a Ranger a performance vehicle). His current Silverado has true duals with full emissions running cherry bombs out the...

Remember, a cold air intake is only really a cold air intake if the air coming in to it is from the OUTSIDE of the engine compartment...

Oh yes, have you considered the bench or 60/40 seat instead of the buckets?

Do you really think the Caddy seats will be any different than what's in there now? I'll bet you dollars to donuts that they are the exact same seat with different upholstery... If you go to another brand of seat, you really only have to drill 4 holes maximum per seat. Just make sure that the...

Gas is just our regular, run of the mill winter blend E10 garbage. Yes, I don't speed or drive with a heavy foot (unless needed), but I don't putt around either. Actually, I'm finding if I drive it a bit harder, it does better on gas. Must have something to do with the most efficient portion of...

Oh yes, that's a 23% improvement so far without throwing money at it... :)
