Does JC5 indicate heavy duty brakes?

Yes, I think so.

RPO code is JC5. Is this standard brakes or heavy duty?

Need to replace the left front wheel hub on my 2000 Chevrolet Silverado 4WD extended cab pickup. Looking at parts online the options are with heavy duty brakes or without heavy duty brakes. The GVWR of this pickup as listed on the inner door placard is 6400 lbs. Please advise. Thanks!

My son recently purchased a 2011 GMC Sierra with 5.3 V8. Pretty low miles for its age at 140k. He wants to do the AFM delete. What chip/method would you recommend. I see there are items available on Amazon. He wants something of quality that will last. Please advise. Thanks in advance!

We got a Les Schwab tire store locally (70 miles away) about a year ago. I took my truck this time, which I rarely do. I noticed it pulling so while my wife was shopping next door at Menards, I brought the truck in for an alignment and then walked back over to Menards while the work was being...

The updated valve cover has been installed. 1400 miles and no signs of oil usage. Once this OCI is complete, my next OCI I will go back to Valvoline Restore and Protect to see if there is any usage just out of curiosity.

Yes, there are a few very minor leaks. I added some ATS leak stop to the crankcase.

I’m about 1k miles into my current OCI using Mobile 1 Full Synthetic. No signs of oil consumption. This week, I will have the updated driver’s side valve cover with integrated PCV installed. After this OCI, I will try Valvoline R&P again just to see if the issue repeats itself.

I have a 2000 Silverado LS 5.3. What is the part number for the driver’s side updated valve cover? Thanks in advance!

Not changing back at this time. If consumption continues, I may swap out PCVs to see if it makes a difference. If no difference, I will put the new style PCV back in and look at installing the updated valve cover to see if that improves things.

I changed oil this weekend. Earlier than I normally would have. Had about 5k this OCI. OLM was saying to change oil and I was on the “rinse cycle “ following an Auto-Rx retreatment. Switched back to Mobil1 FS. Also picked up the old style PCV valve. Will monitor for usage.

I ordered some rubber trim from Amazon about a month ago. It’s round and hollow. I get atrocious wind noise. With 50 degree weather I installed it today. Added it just above where the factory trim is on the inside of the door frame. It helped but didn’t stop the noise completely. I was told by a...

Why do I see so MANY newer automobiles with burned out LED headlights and marker lights? And you don’t just change bulbs in these. You have to change the entire lighting unit.

I purchased 12 quart bottles of V-R&P at Napa. If I get get Napa Full Synthetic (made by Valvoline) on sale for a decent price, I will mix it 3 and 3 with R&P.

I was able to find a metal one that was affordable. TruBuilt1 Automotive (through Amazon). About 2/3 of the price through Amazon than ordering directly from the company. I replaced the latches already.

2000 Chevrolet Silverado LS. I’ve replaced the tailgate handle/latch once with an aftermarket replacement. The aftermarket handle was plastic and has broken. Is the oRM handle plastic? Does anyone make a metal replacement handle?

Not car related, but we got a broken display case that we ordered for my wife Vonnie’s bakery. Inspected it upon arrival and refused shipment. The retailer wanted to charge a huge “restocking “ fee. I wrote a scathing Yelp review and posted a link to it on his Facebook page. He deleted it and...

How necessary is it to change out the valve cover to the updated one with the baffle? I didn’t change mine out. Only the updated PCV.

Changing the PCV valve seems to have affected the transmission. I posted another thread regarding this. I had been experiencing harsh shift since I purchased the vehicle. That’s gone now, or appears to be.
