i have an 05 jimmy with 260000 km on it i have owned since new. the sunday just passed i was headding down the hwy at 130 kph and the truck died. i pulled over and looked under the hood to find the air cleaner hose disconected. i tried to restart but nothing it would just turn over, at one point i thought it might start but nothing. towed it home and replaced the coil and distributer cap and rotor and it fired right up. today was the first time i tried to take it to work and as soon as i got on the hwy and it got up to running temp it shut down but not totaly. it wont get up over 80kph and it takes a lonk long time to get there. i got it home and hooked it up to my code reader and mass flow problem came up so i changed the mass air flow censor as well as the ignition modual as well as new set of wires. but it still runns bad and cant revi it up over 3000rpm, even in nuteral. hooked up the code reader again and i get the p300 code for random missfire. also upper and lower rad hose were sucked flat. had to open the rad cap to get them back to a round shape. I have been hard on this truck like everother chev i have and this is the first problem i have had with it. any ideas on what is going on? i am thinking intake gasket but it just stoped running at hwy speeds and i dont think an intake gasket would do that.....

You need a new radiator cap.

 

As for the misfire, I parted out a '00 Jimmy that had the same problem. At that point I'd had enough. Check engine lights every week for 2 years straight will do that to ya ... but that random misfire could be anything from the injector spider leaking, or fuel pressure regulator, to leaky intake gaskets, ignition problems, or in rare instances a partially failed crank position sensor.

 

I took that same engine, removed all electronics, & installed it in a '89 S10 with a carb & HEI ignition - it went from breaking down every week (in the Jimmy) to the most reliable vehicle in my fleet. Better throttle response & performance too. Electronics are wonderful .......... when they're new.

there are no fuel leaks and i tested the intake gasket and it is has no leaks either. i am thinking fuel pump, crank position censor or fuel reg. Also to elaborate on the back ground of the truck.... I live in northern ontario canada and this past winter if i left the truck for more then two days in the cold with out starting it i would have to turn it over for an hour holding the fuel pedel to the floor to ge ti to start. also latley befor the big break down it would have a misfire when started but would go away once it wormed up. i will run the truck with the rad cap loose but right now it is in my garage as i cant drive it at all.... i have a wife and three sons and we as a family need this truck to run so any help would be awsome guys!

 

I am picking up a 86 k5 blazer as my new dd but untill it is ready this is all i have. i dont have cash for a new truck so i bought an old one, plus i can fix anything on it. but this is still needed so please if you have any idea let me know!

      5.3 / 6.2 valve covers / oil burning

      By FiLo · Posted

      Any update if the new valve cover help with the oil consumption?  I have a 2014 GMC sierra and my truck is consuming a lot of oil so I’m wondering if replacing the driver side valve cover will stop some of the oil consumption. Thanks

      primary drive belt tensioner

      By Deadwood · Posted

      I bought belts and pulleys for my '20 L5P at Rock Auto a couple years ago. I have used them for many years, and almost always save significant money, especially when I buy maintenance stuff ahead of time.   They carry many OEM parts, which is all I use unless an aftermarket is shown to be same/superior, or if it is an insignificant part or unavailable OEM part anywhere else. RA is usually lower priced, often by a bunch, but parts are sometimes unavailable or out of stock, and I do shop around and sometimes find better prices at other sites.   Be aware that you pay shipping, and if you buy multiple items and they are coming from different warehouses, the shipping can kill the advantage. Planning ahead is best if possible.   If you have a transmission service in the near future, check out their OEM (AC Delco ULV) fluid, usually MUCH less than anywhere else.

      10L1000 anyone with High Mileage ? I hate Damocles....

      By Deadwood · Posted

      New member here, very long time occasional guest. Saw this thread, thought it would be a good time to contribute someting. It is only my experience and not a claim that everyone will have the same.   I bought my '20 3500 L5P new and have put 99.9% (literally) of it's current ~400k miles on it myself, with over 50% of that towing loads between 4k to 15k, and to me this truck has been nothing short of amazing. For the first 235k I had zero issues, and from there until 321k I replaced a NOx sensor, two failing glow plugs, and three of the notorious injector connectors. I believe this truck is in part, a testament to good luck, but also good care and following a decent maintenance schedule (I also keep meticulous records.) As a result, it looks as good as a well cared for 70k rig, up and down, inside and out.   At some point before that 321k mile mark I began to get a little spooked about the 10L1000, especially the valve body. Word of mouth about potential issues prompted me to jump on the net to sift through all the noise and determine what all the fuss was about. I routinely take long trips, coast-to-coast and points in between, so roadside breakdowns can be '...a thousand miles from nowhere' and a bit of a challenge, and though I had no issues, my guard was up and activated.   And then I stumbled across a chance to salvage some parts off a new 2025 that had been wrecked in transport. I grabbed a few wear items (alternator, pulleys, etc.) and on a whim asked what the ten speeder would cost me. It was cheap...really cheap. I knew some changes had been made in the '24+ version 10L and were supposedly not compatible, but I called service/parts at my local Chevy dealer and asked why and they didn't know. A call to a well known aftermarket transmission outfit revealed it was very likely it would be fine, but to them not 100% sure.   Because it was cheap (really cheap) and I was spooked, I took the chance. Had it installed by a local shop and it worked like a champ, shifted just like the original. At it's first service at 37k, I had the shop put in a Next Gen valve body kit, which after some initial hiccups and rough shifts, smoothed out though with somewhat firmer shifting.   All that said, I have a very serious concern about my newer transmission as just two weeks ago it suddenly began to exhibit a strong reluctance to engage forward or reverse. It was a bit past due anyway so I took it in for service. The reason it was sticking was due to 'glitter' in the fluid clogging the filter...not good folks, often indicates a converter giving out. We ended up going ahead with the new filter and fluid, first to see if it would move and shift, and then if so buy me a little time. It did, and I've driven it over a thousand miles and it is shifting smooth, no noises or slipping. Regardless, it looks like a third gearbox is in my future so I can resume taking long trips with some confidence. In the very short term, my curiosity will have me examining the fluid to check how much glitter has reappeared.   An earlier poster had alleged, in the context of 10L100 failures, that it is another example of how we seasoned citizens somehow descend into hysteria, lose control of our senses, and react irrationally after brief encounters with the idiocy of the internet infosphere. Let me say (and I have used and abused said internet since it's infancy) there is no segment of the populace that has a corner on over-reaction to digital garbage. Just as my offering of experience in this arena is purely anecdotal and should not be considered gospel or all-encompassing, I believe it is still worthwhile information to consider, along with other relevant anecdotal experiences about things like complex transmissions, especially when balanced with other sources.   So to answer the original question, yes I got high miles out of my first 10L, trouble free for 321,000. Now I really wonder how much longer it would have went. Did I 'overreact' to the internet ghouls by replacing a 'good' one with a 'bad' one? Maybe. Who knows, the thing might have taken a puke a 100 miles later. So I'll just fix it again, then move on and start thinking about all the other stuff that will eventually wear out. It still has the original brakes (they're at ~60%), original injectors/pump, turbo, water pump, etc....pretty much original everything. Knock on wood.

      6 Speed vs 8 Speed

      By swathdiver · Posted

      At peak temperature.  They get to cool down and warm up more, especially those with the external cooler.  I have three GMT900s and one of them has over 225K on its original transmission.  Fluid gets changed about every 36K miles, all of it.     It's not the bean counters, it was the government.  They had to meet CAFE standards and other government requirements.   To get around that, we tune them and modify them to our liking.
