Oem High Capacity Air Filter Superceded?
dlstewart01 replied to 5Alive's topic in 1999-2013 Silverado & Sierra 1500
Don't know the answer to your question, but the high capacity air filter has nothing to do with air flow but has more pleats and holds more dirt. The standard and high capacity filters are the same size. Also the filter housing is the same no matter what filter you have. -

Hours are stored only in the cluster along with mileage. The cluster has its own module. -
Engine Hours Reset Itself?
dlstewart01 replied to tony890721's topic in 1999-2013 Silverado & Sierra 1500
Its common... .IPC Engine Hour Meter Resets - keywords cluster DIC display hour meter intermittent start up #PIT4368A - (05/29/2007)2003-2007 Chevrolet Silverado Classic 2003-2007 GMC Sierra ClassicSome owners may comment of the ipc engine hour meter resetting. This concern may be very intermittent and normally occurs at key up and/or start up. GM Engineering is aware of this concern and working on a correction. At this time there has been varying success repairing this concern with the following information: <LI type=1>Check the battery/s with the Midtronic's battery tester and also perform a load test using a Vat40 or similar load tester to make sure the battery/s are in good condition. We have found in some cases a weak battery could cause this concern, this step is very important on vehicles with the 6.6L Diesel Engine where both batteries are used for cranking the engine. <LI type=1>Check the battery cables and make sure all connections are clean and tight. <LI type=1>Check the IPC powers and grounds (G200, G203, G100, G110 and the braided ground strap between the engine and cowl G104 and G107) connections and make sure they are clean and tight. If the IPC has not been replaced, replace the IPC. -
Grinding Brake Calipers To Fit 16" Rims?

Grinding Brake Calipers To Fit 16" Rims?
dlstewart01 replied to jesse1378's topic in 1999-2013 Silverado & Sierra 1500
Why? And I swear that I saw 16's on an 08 2500HD that were factory...... I think. because i dont like having the same thing that everone else has. my lightning was differnt than any other truck because of the things i did to it. i put an led cadillac 3rd brake light on it, custom grill that i did myself. it stood out. i hate the fact that my truck blends in. if the brake and calipers on the HDs allow for 16s then why wouldnt they be good enough for a 1500?? that's another option to look into as well. i didnt post to get lectures on the safety issues and to be told how important the brakes are. i just wnated to know if anyone has tried it or if it was even possible. maybe it can be done and nobody has tried it. ill figure it out. thanks. HD trucks run front hubs that space the rotors and mounting surface farther apart so the calipers are further inboard. That permits the relatively skinny rims to clear the rotor. Light duty trucks are engineered with the right components to run a lot of inset on the wheels. The HD trucks have different calipers (heavy duty) than the 1500s. -

Why? And I swear that I saw 16's on an 08 2500HD that were factory...... I think. When GM went to 17 inch wheels and larger roters in 2005, that was for 1500s. The 2500s stayed the same and came with 16s. Hybrids also stayed the same. See this old thread... http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/index.php?...;hl=dlstewart01 -

GM went to the larger rotors and improved calipers in 2005. Putting on 04 and eariler would be a step backwards.. -

The link I posted goes to a website that explaines what GC is...Its Castrol Syntec the European Formula...made in germany 0w, 5w, 10w, etc.is not weight but an somewhat arbitrary rating based on the oil low temperature flow and pumping characteristics - SAE J300 (1999) Motor Oil Grades- Low Temperature Specifications. I say somewhat arbitrary in that an oil that meets the 0w standard can be rated 5w or 10w because of the myth that "W" means weight ( it means winter) and 95-99% of the folks that recommend/sale/change oil believe this myth. We'll all heard "I would not use a 0 weight oil in your car.". http://www.tribology-abc.com/abc/viscosity.htm http://www.ideas4ag-ed.com/uploads/3/7/0/4...l_viscosity.pdf http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/cms/index.ph...8&Itemid=55 -

Ah, yes, the "slip-n-slide" powerglides. Remember them well. The 2 speed automatics. I broke one in dads 53 Chevy belair and one in my 56 chevy convertable. -

No this is somrthing they would do when new. And some times they would not shift to 1st and start out in 2nd. usually a flash at the dealer would cure it. My 05 did this a few times when brand new but I didn't leave the trans stock for very long. It hasn't done it since then.
