A tow strap is the best way to go. If using cable or chain, drape a jacket or heavy towel on it to asorb the kinetic energy if it breaks. I believe the synthetic winch cable's now made, wont whip if broken. Also a trick is if being pulled from the front, raise your hood.

This is what I googled: P0332 DTC Code Technical DescriptionKnock Sensor 1 Circuit Low Input (Bank 2) What does that mean?A knock sensor tells the engine computer when one or more of your engine's cylinders are "knocking", that is, exploding the air/fuel mixture in a way that delivers...

sorry, I cant help. Maybe someone will chime in.

Here's my other truck.

Just wanted to post my mileage from my last trip to the mountains. I just bought a 04 Z71 Tahoe with the 5.3 flex. Its got stock tires(for now :naughty:) 265-70-17 goodyear wranglers. 3.73 gears. I was expecting about 15-16 on the hiway. Hand figuring the mileage over 1500 miles.....I got a low...

CLK, thanks for the update on the auto trac fluid. I checked with summit a few weeks back, but they said it wasnt available anymore. Glad you had a link. I'll get mine from them from now on.

I would. I mean, once at 100k miles, even if you dont use the 4x4, there are parts that are still moving and the oil still breaks down. Its cheap insurance. Even though you dont put the truck in 4x4 mode, the gears still turn, the bearings still need lube, the actuator just isnt engaging the...

I wouldnt ever push the brake fluid back thru the master cylinder. It will mess up the ABS. I dont know the exact reason but every vehicle that I've seen with that done the ABS will throw a code and act funny. Best thing to do it crack the bleeder when re-seating the pistons back. Other than...

OH, forgot to add, service the transfer case with GM Auto-trac II fluid. The only place you can get it is thru a GM dealer. $8 per qt and you'll need 2. Thats if you have the 246 transfer case. Its the one with the "auto4wd, 2hi, 4hi, 4lo" button on the dash. It takes the special blue fluid.

IMHO: Fuel system cleaning. When you get to 1/2 tank of fuel, put 1 can of "seafoam" in the fuel tank and run it until almost empty. Then fill up as usual. Wala, fuel system clean. Just about any autoparts store, even walmart has "seafoam". Transmission service. If they dont change the filter...

Not this weekend but, I'm on vacation this next week and I'm going to: Helen, Ga for Octoberfest then going to Asheville, NC to go ghost hunting. Hopefully will find some 4x4 trails in the mountains while I'm there.

On the torsion bar thing, I've heard of using a big "c" clamp or even bottle jacks. How much would a local shop charge you? Them torsion bars are under a lot of pressure. I cant believe it would cost more than an hour of labor to get a shop to do the key install. On the alternator, I believe 140...

get a new mechanic. If it only has the problem in the morning, its not mechanical its electrical. You will need to leave the vehicle overnight with a good mechanic so the problem shows up when they look at it.
