Not just bearing problems but breaking crankshafts. They claim the engine has enough power that it's snapping crankshafts in certain situations. Lately we have been starting to see holes in the intake manifold.

What hole did that mess spew from?

Originally Posted by LeakySeals Um no. If anything it's closer to a Tahoe. But still the suspension spring lots other things are different. The Tahoe is shorter with a 116" wheelbase vs. Suburban and Avalanche with 130". There are different suspension packages for both, Z66 vs Z71 ect.

Originally Posted by Fitz98 I also have a startup noise like you describe, sounds like after 1 cycle of the pistons it is gone, which I thought was just oil leaking down. It makes me cringe every time. It does it each day, worse when left to sit for a couple days. I park my truck front up up on...

Better make sure that is a real 5.7 LT1 and not the look a like 4.3 "baby LT1".

I don't check the oil in my 2003 Avalanche. When it tells me the oil level is low I dump 2 quarts in and keep rolling.

It looks like an intelligent battery sensor on the negative post in the pic. There may be some sort of relearn procedure. Chryslers take 3-5 drive cycles with at least 8 hours of engine off between restarts.

I passed a double deck car hauler that I thought was going to fall apart headed south out of Atlanta last week. The top deck was swaying side to side so hard that it was rocking the truck. My previous company mainly hauled trailers, but hauled cars as back loads and between trailer loads...

I had a similar problem on my new to me 1985 Honda Magna. I was heading home from Alabama with my girlfriend riding 2 up. I lost 2 cylinders coming in to Dothan I had a heck of a time getting through those hills and traffic lights in Dothan riding 2 up with 2 dead cylinders. I thought for sure...

I think it makes good sense for Walmart to use anti-sieze. Broken studs from galled threads are a headache they don't need when they have several customers waiting in line to get tires installed.

I don't know what kind of tractor work you will be doing, but it sounds like your tractor should fit in a dump trailer. A dump trailer may come in handy if you need to move debris or dirt/rocks or other material.

Buy a couple solar lawn lights and steal the rechargable cells and chargers out of them. You can find the single lights for $1 each.

It will be fine. I don't have any experience with Milwaukee's newer tools, I have had a pinion gear come loose in a DeWalt. I have a 3 year old Makita that gets used daily and doesn't show any signs of slowing down.

A lot of sales take place where there are no facilities to test fire a weapon. It is a chance you take when buying used, on the other hand most reputable gun makers will repair their firearms for free if they haven't been abused. It all just depends on what you are comfortable with as a buyer.
