Question about single nozzle 3 grade gas pumps. My Shell station I frequent as well as most others have the single hose-nozzle setup. I pull in and fill a 2 gallon gas can with V-Power to use in my lawn equipment. The last customer likely bought regular. Question is, how much residual $2.25 87...

Put a set of 245-70-16s on my 2002 Trailblazer about 6 weeks ago. Excellent tires! Balanced out very nicely with minimal weights added. On a certain 6-lane boulevard nearby the original BFG Open Trail TAs would go over the expansion joints in the street hard, sending the impact through the...

This is what I am trying to find about. I've read the claims about acetone miraculously boosting MPG which I never had happen when I tried running it last year, zero difference, but seems like I did read a valid purpose might be to keep the ethanol and gas in mixture. I have an '88 S10 with 98k...

"Japanese"? Might want to re-read this thread. The GM 4.2 i6 we are talking about is a fine engine, won awards for several years, it's designed by GM and made in USA - Flint Michigan to be exact. This is not the same as the current Duramax Diesel that IS an Isuzu based design, which is...

I think 2004 is when GM relocated the front stabilizer bar through the frame and closer to the bottom of the engine and filter. From what I've read that made it a little trickier to change the filter. On my 2002 the bar is well below the filter mounted to the bottom of the frame with the typical...

Yep got to agree, oil change is relatively easy. All I do is turn the front wheels all the way to the right and the filter is right there. Have owned mine almost 5 years and change the oil and filter twice a year. As far as being an Isuzu design, I have a press release from 2000 with Ron...

Thanks for the suggestions. Those other brands mentioned are not available in Dallas over the counter at any retailers I checked (Autozone, O'Reilly's, Pep Boys etc)although the carry the Lucas "Red N Tacky". Has anyone actually used the "Red N Tacky" grease? Apparently it's very popular among...

In my quest to find a good grease for new sway bar links on my 2002 Trailblazer, I started looking for RP grease since I had such good luck with their other products. I received this reply from RP so this may explain why you can't find it anymore. I am going to a distributor here locally to get...

Anyone try this stuff and have any opinion? I did a BITOG search and came up zero. It seems popular in the stores anyway. Looking for something thick and stringy that will stay put in front sway bar links. Link to the manufacturer's page...

THANKS!

What happened to the "Topic: BITOG acronyms" list of acronyms? Was looking for it today and it doesn't seem to exist anymore.

Isn't it the ES300 with the bad sludge problem?

Thanks! Reason I asked... I mixed up 2 gallons of gasoline and Pennzoil Synthetic 2-cycle oil for my gas trimmer thinking it was good stuff, then read here it NOT the right oil. I need TC rated, thought the "TC" at the beginning of the spec for the Penn. oil meant TC. But there is that "W3" on...

Both my Chevys - '88 S10 and my 2002 Trailblazer - have oil drain plugs with a molded-in silicone rubber gasket-washer. No replacement necessary. No leaks either.

Most GMs these days including the trucks have electric motor "actuators" that operate the ducts with position feedback to the computer. Not vacuum like in the olden days...

Does the air start coming from the floor outlets or does it just start blowing warm air? I know Trailblazers and other GM vehicles that use a cycling clutch system, the low pressure cycling switch can stick and cause a symptom like you desctribe. Don't know if your truck has that cycling switch...

What is the main additive in 2-cycle oil?

Yep the fan clutch-A/C problem seems to vary with individual clutches- some apparently have more minimum speed than others. Mine freewheels so slow at idle you could stop the fan by hand. A friend in Phoenix has a 2003 Envoy that does not exhibit the problem. Mine will overshoot the A/C high...
