Hi guys,

I have a problem with my car. It shakes when idling, like in waves.

The car is moody, it does get it better when is rainy. No idea.

I was reading through the forum and figure out it could be:

Spark plugs + wires (will do tomorrow)

PCV or IAC valve

fuel filter ...etc

I know I will have problem with PCV and IAC valve.

Having trouble locating them. Would you point me where I can find them in this car?

Thanks, Wes

  I'd much rather them add back the foot well lights before the dang glovebox one. In the 2 1/2 years I've had my truck. I'd say the glovebox has been open about 10 times.

  Just about every truck I see around town is an SLT or LTZ.

  I'm guessing moving the headlight switch to virtual was for cost savings. The headlights are already controlled via the canbus so why not eliminate the need to manufacture a switch and take up real estate. I prefer a physical switch but I also realize I don't actually use it 99% of the time. The 1% of the time I do want it, I'm guessing it's a pain to turn the lights on. Probably 1-2 screens deep in the infotainment just like in the newer Colorados.

  Purchased a 1965 GMC 1000 series with a manual 3 on the tree. The linkage is frequently sticking in 3rd, most often. As such, I'm considering going to a floor shifter to alleviate this linkage problem. I've been searching for a floor shifter, but am coming up empty. Hurst doesn't have a complete kit, you have to purchase the shifter and linkage separately, and I haven't found anything for a 1965, plus Quite expensive. I've seen recommendations to use Mr gasket, but they no longer make a 3 speed shifter kit. Does anyone have any recommendations?? Mrob7

  Thank you to all who were quick to respond; providing me with timely and correct info needed to get this correctly addressed today with the body shop. I will be providing this doc I created (with the help of AI) for them to follow. I made it as clear as possible. Maybe they'll consider this disrespectful, but they did not perform the install correctly the first time. If they allow me to (which I do not believe it is allowed for liability and insurance requirements) I will bring the bolts home and replace myself.
