Will double check the tranny shifting in the morning while the vehicle is cold, but it most definitely seems to be shifting MUCH more smoothly than before!

Old PCV went away in the garbage this morning.

I purchased my 2000 Chevrolet Silverado LS (5.3 Vortec, automatic transmission) in March with 183k miles. The previous owner had a rebuilt transmission put in or had the transmission totally rebuilt. The transmission tended to shift harsh. My mechanic stated that the previous owner may have had...

I ordered the updated PCV valve. It should be in today. I will install it and continue to monitor.

Active Fuel Management wasn’t introduced until 2007; so I am good there. Can someone post a picture or part number for the updated PCV valve/orifice?

Checked the PCV valve. It seems sticky. I will slap a new one in tomorrow and continue to monitor.

He couldn’t be happier. It’s old enough in his eyes to be a classic and still be a daily driver. The only problem with that is he will spend money trying to fix up every little rust spot rather than just enjoying it as a reliable daily driver. That’s his ADHD at work . But I get it. I was...

mrsilv04 Agreed! I have two 5qt jugs of Mibil1 HM full synthetic in the garage. Will switch back to that next OCI. Will also change out the PCV valve if it has one.

It does have a few minor drips but nothing major.

I purchased my 2000 Silverado back in March. 5.3 V8. I did an oil change at that time. Mobil1 Full Synthetic HM 5W/30 and a bottle of Auto-Rx. I just did an oil change in October. I had about 5k on the OCI. No signs of oil usage/consumption. My current fill is Valvoline R&P 5W/30. I also added...

Apologies to all. Couldn’t figure out how to delete.

It’s Napa’s monthly sale. Don’t know if it’s national or regional. I’m in south central South Dakota.

With my oil change setup, quarts are more convenient.

Found Valvoline R&P for $7.99 at Napa. Free shipping to the store. Ordered a case of 0W/20 and 5W/30. Might order another case or two.

Is a spark plug anti fouler the same as an oxygen sensor extender? And does it install in the O2 port?

Owner stated that he did the intake gaskets when he purchased the vehicle .

Somebody else was supposed to come purchase the Buick this morning for $1500. Fortunately they didn’t show up. It has 109k miles, not 140k. Runs and drives great! Clean vehicle although it does have some body rust. The guy has owned it for 10 years. It was a second car for the family and a kid’s...

My in-laws gave my son their 2012 Nissan Rogue AWD. It is very clean inside. It has transmission issues (CVT). It will go when it oils cold but when it gets hot it doesn’t want to go. I heard that there’s a small filter in these somewhere that gets clogged. Does anyone know if there is any truth...
