Thats the problem, there is no fuel filter on it! Once I get the new parts for it I'm putting one on it before I put it back together.

my bad, i ment with out!

 

 

 

Getting very difficult to locate gas stations that still carry non-ethanol fuel.

 

Most station pumps say it "May contain up to 10% ethanol". To me that means the pump will have from 0% to 10%.

this local place has 0% and says so on the pump. Its were most people go for gas for there toys and lawn equpment. They also carry cam2. Its not the standard gas station. I did find one they had the gas there using a website but the heck if i can find it now

I've been running non ethanol gas in my saw and bikes. You can tell a differance in performance. The exhaust smell is totally different too.

 

I have a fuel Distributor just down the hill from me. I'm trying to decide if it's worth it to get a tank and have them fill it evey week or two, or whatever it takes. They seem eager to get me off the gas station routine and go direct.

 

 

If you have a tank or can get one for cheap, go for it. They may even get it to you a couple cents cheaper than at the station. Many people here do it that way. Keep the tank in a well lighted area, lock up the fill cap, nozzle, power, everything there is and you should be fine.

Keyboards are cheap. :)

 

 

Not when you're feeding an 8.1L. Or did you get rid of that? I'm on my phone, can't see your Sig.

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I will admit I haven't experimented much with pressure drops beyond the numbers I put in and part of that is that the numbers I used are fairly low and then found out it would trigger regardless at that 35 psi. Having said that I had tried before had changed the placard pressures and being that I have a 1 ton set to 80 on the placard for the rear I believe it triggered close to 60, the front I don't recall now for sure but thought maybe it could get close to 45 from that factory 60 placard pressure. So I never did figure out if it was a number of psi from placard pressure to the alarm or a percentage of the total placard number as some figured it was like a 25% drop from placard pressure would trigger it. So as to try and answer your question, I believe I set the placard pressure on the front to 47 or so and while I run the front tires at 40, they have dipped below that some if its colder and I haven't put "winter air" in yet and never once have had the front alarm go off. I would say that the answer your looking for is no, that if you set your placard pressure to 45, you have a certain amount of room to drop below that pressure before the alarm will go off.    The pressures you decide to run in your truck, that ends up being what makes sense to you based on what your carrying in your truck or if towing, then have to bump them back up to something that will carry the load in the rear and the fronts typically left at the same pressure. It all comes down to that chart I put the link to and using an accurate roadside scale to be your guide, both unloaded and then loaded to know your minimum safe pressures.    I just wish GM would allow a person to change the readings for the tire pressures to the English system of pounds as I have to look at that goofy metric reading that will never ever jive in my head and will go over and change it just to figure out what they are if need be and then change it back.

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      That part I understand, that the dealer can do it. But I'm not understanding why updates that were available to the truck since it left the factory, or the dealership originally, would not still be available to it without dealer intervention.   I'm thinking along the lines of recalls. They stay available until they are completed. Why not updates as well, especially since some of those can be safety related also?

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      That's good to know, but I don't think I'll even be running them under 45 in the rear  unless it's on the sand or something but will only be for a short distance anyways!    I didn't read all the instructions in the booklet yet, but do you know let's say I set the rear psi on the placard to 45, will the warning light come on soon as it drops under 45 or is there a percentage it has to drop from the set value before the warning light is triggered?

      Would this CV Shaft be bad?

      By newdude · Posted

      That's bad.  Like, its probably destroying the stub axle the CV slides into.   Do you have a proper lift installed with differential lowering brackets?  Did you install AT4/Trail Boss factory CV axles?

      Hot? New Jersey? Today? I was working on my old 2000 Silverado 1500 today. Believe me, it was boiling hot today. As it has been.
