Would be more fun if it was mud lol.

 

I picked up some power steering fluid, hopefully enough. I got some regular to flush it and then some synthetic to fill it with. Planning on doing the flush tonight, along with greasing the front end and u-joints, and cleaning and rotating wheels.

Give both the Silverado and Equinox some fresh Mobil 1. I thought since I was changing one I should do both.

Pulled the truck into the garage. About to pull the toolbox so I can fit more in the bed.

That's the only thing that keeps me from getting one.

Well you have a crew cab dont you? I normally dont pull it but I am helping my brother move. Also pulling it isnt bad. 2 nuts, slide towards tailgate about 6 inches, run 2 straps and use the tractor to pull it off.

Got my first oil change, they told me about some kind of reprogram for the odo. I told them if its not about safety stay the hell away from my computer, reading too many stories about dealer screw ups with computer programing.

I'm looking at new trucks and that's what I hate about the crew cabs is the short bed. But I do tend to tote people around often so the added benefit of interior space I believe surpass the bed space

When I bought my truck it was down to this one with 46k and a white 06 SLT crew cab with with 52k. I wanted the bed space back in 2008

Plan on taking long road trips to go 4wheeling so I would have a trailer anyways. Plus I will still have this truck so if I need the bed space I can scratch up this truck haha

      In the 6.6 gas thread, I added information in my fluid change thread about these gauges and temperatures. With very limited data, it so far looks like ~30 degrees difference between front and rear.

      Fluid Change Questions

      I know; crap pictures.   Anyway, as a finale of sorts to this thread, I had replaced both differential covers and since they had the capability of adding temperature probes, I did that. These are MaxTow analog/digital gauges with stepper motors. They'll flutter around like crazy for a moment and start at a nominal 100 degrees Fahrenheit.   I drove a 30-mile loop to the grocery store, averaging 70 MPH (as much as 80 to see if there was a quick spike in temperature. The air temperature is 102 (ambient ?). but the first pic is 7 miles into the trip. The second is getting back into the truck after leaving the store; differential temperatures dropped about three to four degrees in 15 minutes. The third pic in on the road to my house, about a mile away.   In that run, I saw a high of 150F on the rear differential, and 121F on the front. I'm sure a longer drive or towing will see higher than that, and when that happens, I can update the observations.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Fully warm, coolant temp >194, closed loop.   Run time can be anywhere from just reached operating temperature to having driven 30+ miles.   The O2 chart (which is a feature I just discovered after reading) for the bad idle seems to be "most" of the time. For the little time I've been watching it (scanning and driving! watchout!) I can't seem to isolate any cause or condition yet.   It definitely idles rougher sometimes than others and so far what I've seen is the rougher idles are always rich. But not enough to set a CEL.   In other news I replaced the starter solenoid. Everything on this truck is such a PITA. Starter "snout" is mangled up with the torque converter inspection cover which is tangled up with hard cooling lines and the driveshaft. But I got 'er done without too much swearing...I just go into everything now knowing it's going to be a frustrating mess.   The starter solenoid replacement kicks off the next round of work: AC, injector rebuild, cat, exhaust. I'm just going to do it all. But first:   I don't know what my fuel pressures are. I can't definitively say the issue is the injector without first verifying fuel pressures and any leakdown. I "rented" a test kit ($199.99 at O'Really's ...intentional misspelling). They don't "rent" tools anymore, they charge you for the tool and then you return it when you're done. No joke. It is listed as a rental on the receipt but the guy told me there's no difference between renting and buying  now, you just return it when you're done and they refund the credit card. Mmmkay, whatever.   I will rule out fuel pressure issues (too much), and any leaking (that's how I'll know the problem is inside the intake). I think someone said the return line could be plugged or not flowing and that could cause high fuel pressure (and too much fuel being pushed through injectors). I'll cross that bridge if I get high readings.   As of now I'm ready to tear off the intake cover, extract the injector, and have it sent off to be rebuilt just so I can rule that out.
