This is GM's third attempt to mitigate the oil consumption issues plaguing LS1 engines and 1999-2013 LS engine trucks. For some reason the engine eats oil through the PCV setup and people who run catch cans catch a significant amount of oil. For millions of engines that don't it pools up in the...

As part of my 02 Silverado experimentation one of them was to see if a GenIV LS water pump will fit a GenIII LS engine. And Yes It Did. Detailed water pump DIY by ls1mike since I didn't take pics for a pic tutorial. Water Pump Swap Old Pump: Leak from weep hole. All that black stuff doesn't...

In later model Gen IV LS engine trucks (before 2013) GM removed the 4 rib serp belt/tensioner system for the A/C compressor to a stretch fit belt only. This gets rid of the tensioner allowing the tight fit of the belt to provide tension. The GenIII and GenIV uses the same compressor and pulley...

As a laid-off carpenter I like work with wood now with so much free time (gotta stop playing too much vidya games) so why not make something out with scrap 15/32" sheathing ply. Quick & Dirty projects, my mind comes out with a need, plan it on the fly, with available materials with little to no...

As an elementary school student obsessed with Dragonball Z back in the early 2000's to now where we are old enough to buy our own cars. Really brings back the nostalgia lol. For some reason it's an unlisted video under Ford's official youtube channel (probably not for US release.) Figured I...

I had my smartphone with me this time to take some pics as I swap out the pump. I've done this so much times that I kept the "unopened" brand new pump pulley remover lease out tool and should be valuable if I was ever in a NASCAR pit crew. Obligatory parts grab pic. Pump is for a 2010 2500HD...

I'm still rocking my gaming rig that I built in 08/09 with an Intel DP43TF "system builders" mobo, Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600, 2x2 GB "stock" DDR2 RAM and now a nvidia 750ti (original build was a ati 4850.) Just to keep up with today's games (at 2560x1080 a sweet upgrade over 1440x900) I upgraded...

I emailed Lubegard on some issues and questions regarding Lubegard Red and their Powersteering Protectant. I figured I would post here if anyone wants some info. LG P/S Protectant Q: Is it safe to use the protectant with OEM Honda power steering fluid without mixing or incompatibility issues...

Or buzz or howl or whine? Assuming there is no area air is being sucked into. I've taken apart and rebuilt junkyard and reman units that makes a lot of noise that I've installed in my truck and they still make noise after rebuilding them myself. These things are so simple and not hard to rebuild...

It's the second time that the saginaw power steering pump shaft seal is leaking and I'm debating whether to swap in a junkyard unit or re-sleeve the pump shaft on my truck. Two years ago when I had the pump apart the seal area around the shaft looked polished shiny (no deep grooves or abnormal...

Looking around for a little run-around car after selling my 1991 Nissan Sentra. Leafs are selling in the high 9000's to low 10,000 price range. I want to add an electric car to a mostly truck fleet and it would be good for hopping around instead of using my truck where the engine oil barely...

Finally got a nice internet upgrade where TWC was upping the internet speeds but required a modem replacement since the old one I had was a DOCSIS 2.0 modem that worked well with the 15/2 speeds but topped out at 20/2 with the 50/5 upgrade. Upgraded the modem and they gave us a honkin big ARRIS...

http://www.autonews.com/article/20150729...rash-protection http://www.autonews.com/article/20150615...-new-crash-test Article basically shows that the SuperCab models lack the four tubular wheelwell bars that prevent the wheel protruding into the cabin doing a small overlap crash.

There's been a lot of rumors floating around on the GM-Ford 10 speed but Ford released a patent on a Ford only 11 speed automatic transmission. http://blog.caranddriver.com/the-numbers-all-go-to-eleven-ford-patents-11-speed-automatic/

I installed a Tahoe/Suburban rear swaybar on my Silverado for real cheap and it makes a world of difference when cornering or when on freeway off/on ramps. I've been driving various pickups for several years and I hate the excessive body roll having to slow down excessively on turns or highway...

So I've already seen some used 2015 and 2014 model year vehicles on dealerships and craigslist and I was wondering if it's much better buying a new model used as there is some depreciation when buying new.

So my weeny UPS battery was causing the UPS to spit out error beeps meaning I won't have battery protection anymore, oh well. Properly dispose battery and cut existing spade leads I had lame wire crimps so I had to open the case to extend the wire leads. I also had the same color wire so I...

My results using Castrol Edge Black Bottle 0W20 with Titanium So much for wanting to run extended OCI's, the TBN is at 2.9 with just 6 months and 5,000mi on the oil. Either the virgin oil has a low TBN to start with or the engine just beat the fudge out of this oil. There is titanium in the...

I'll be removing and reinstalling some solenoids on a GM 4L60E and if the o-rings cannot be reused, will simple hardware store o-rings will be suitable for ATF or will I need to get Viton o-rings?
