    Correction, 1996 Buick Century. Does not have to pass emissions. Yes, if it lasts a year, that’s pretty cheap transportation. Just talking to the guy. he came down to $1300. I will go look at it Saturday.

    Long cranking, 2000 Silverado

    My guess was that the Fuel Pressure Regulator has a bad check valve. Had a vehicle on the lot of the dealership where I worked that did that. Don’t know that for sure. Can’t remember why I replaced the fuel pump. Seems like it was acting up. Tank had to be dropped to replace a rear leaf spring...

    Long cranking, 2000 Silverado

    2000 Chevrolet Silverado LS, 5.3 engine. Intermittently, i turn the key over and there is a long cranking cycle without starting. When this happens, I cycle the key off for a few seconds. Turn it back on for a few seconds, then it cranks over and starts right up. It has a new AC Delhi fuel pump...

    Longer filter recommendations

    Going by the OLM. But I could probably run the filter for two intervals.

    Longer filter recommendations

    I have a 2000 Chevrolet Silverado LS with 5.3 engine. I just changed oil and getting to the filter was a pain. I used a Fram XG3506 which is a very short filter. Does anyone make a really long filter that would fit this engine? I heard that some of the longer Ford filters would work. Please advise.

    Ok. My mechanic is a pretty good old school mechanic. He set the toe-in. But I will keep an eye on tire wear.

    2000 Silverado Oil Life Monitor????

    My Silverado doesn’t get used as a “truck” very often. It may have been used more heavily by the previous owner. My mechanic changed the oil when I purchased it. I had him check it over. It needed two knock sensors, which also meant intake gaskets. Replaced plugs, differential oil, catalytic...

    2000 Silverado Oil Life Monitor????

    I have a 2000 Silverado Oil Life Month. It went off with 2500 miles on the odometer. I’m not sure if the OLM was reset when the oil was changed in March (Mobile Full Synthetic High Mileage). Does the OLM count miles or is it an intelligent OLM?
