    6.0 vortec startup tick

    None of them are broke? It's just so common on them. May I ask why the 0W-40?

    It is odd. Kids LB7 Duramax needed one. I was too busy to do it, and it was sort of involved so we took it somewhere. As far as we could tell it was the original pump at 232,000. The new one? 5,000 miles it started leaking. Glad I had someone do it. It had warranty.

    Dude. I know that stretch of road. I drive it often. Once you get out here on the Kitsap Peninsula it is nice. Since they built the second bridge traffic has been much better!! It has its days but it tolerable. Just so expensive to live here and I won't lie, I cleared 160,000 last year without...

    Thank you. I'm on an acre and a 1/4 as is the neighbor. 12 houses on my dead end. The other 10 are on 2.5 acres. House behind me just sold for 1.03 million. I paid 295,000 for mine in 2010. Just appraised for 714,000. Housing is ridiculous in Western Washington

    Also I ⁹have these two. The Ford is at 195,000 just did water pump and alternator. The Buick is at 165,000 just did brakes and front passenger wheel bearing yesterday The Malipoo is way better than both of those.

    To be honest I really can't see it needing much. It isn't a maintenance pig like certain vehicles. Remember I fix 30 to 35 year old submarines for a living. This thing is easy

    Buick Century troubleshooting help

    So what i learned from fixing my own stuff and submarines for 30 years was this. If It worked fine before you had the work done look at the last thing touched. We say it a bit more colorful in the Submarine Navy. Check every connection for bent, broken, pushed pins. Verify every plug wire is...

    Did it run fine before the LIM was complete? I am going to assume it did and you just needed the intake done. You can disconnect the MAF on that and see how it runs.
