Anyone know why walmart is stopping its sale of ac delco oil filters?  Dad needs a PF52 for his truck.  Last wk i seen a whole shelf so i go tonight. NONE! only PF1233's left.  They are filling the ac delco space with fram (YUCK sorry if i hurt anyone)

 

No where else sells ac delco (except autozone but they are always out)

 

Thank god i still have a yrs supply for my truck

 

Any other tips (places to get em at a good price?)

I don't know why "The #1 corporation in the WORLD" is dropping ACDelco.

 

 

 

 

Pep Boys, Trak Auto (I don't know if they are National or just Central VA but it's a chain), Advance Auto-Parts, just to name a few.

 

Do you have any of those around? I'd check those places out.

I noticed this too!!!   :angry:

 

Wal-Mart doesn't have them, K-Mart is 20 miles away, Pep boys and all the other auto stores that the import crowd hangs out at are also a bit away too.

 

So I stocked up last weekend when I had to buy a part at the Oldsmobile dealer for the Aurora.  :thumbs:

Soon there will not be any.  GM Will no longer sell them to discount stores like K-Mart and Wal-Mart.  They want you to spend the big bucks for one at the dealer.  Wal-mart used to be $2.73 for AC PF-52.  Had to go to local auto parts store last oil change $5.69!!!!!

Yep i need 2 PF52's

 

One for my dads S-10 and one for my moms Blazer

&*#^&%#^

 

My dad bought a castrol oil filter i think.  Looks identical to the AC.  Its going on a truck with over 100K miles so i dont think its a big deal.  Might just take my moms blazer in for an oil change

I stopped at Wally world the other day to get some oil, and they were in the middle of changing the whole automotive section around.  That may be part of the reason why they are running out of filters?  I talked with one of the guys, that worked there, and he told me, that they were trying to run the inventory down, before they had to move things......

Napa only sells Napa filters.  Unless they have the AC filters in back.

 

Well now I'm only down to two vehicles requiring PF52's!  I think at one point I had 5 total that all took the same PF52, which was kinda nice.  :thumbs:

Yeah I'm out right now.  I've been waiting for Wal-Mart to re-stock but I don't think it's gonna happen.  I guess it's off to the GM Dealer or AutoZone -- either way it's going to be expensive.

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      By Brendan C · Posted

      New to diesel trucks. I happened to find my oil cooler leaking oil externally with only 4,000 miles on the truck. I didn’t realize this was an issue until I started researching it. Dealer is going to replace it under warranty but I’m wondering if there’s anything GM is working on to fix this issue. I’ve heard the oil filter used is the same as they use on their V6 motors and that’s what is causing the problems. Should I switch to a bigger filter or keep using the OEM recommended?

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By Vu1can · Posted

      So, GMCustomerService:  Judging by the Update History pictured above, is this truck missing any updates that it actually needs. If it's just for the infotainment system, the radio is working fine and no trouble with SeriusXM. and Android Auto is working fine wirelessly with my phone. Some months ago, an update notice was sent to my truck. I approved the update and it finished saying that the update was successful, but it seems that whatever that update was, it didn't actually get installed - at least not if I'm to go by the Update History shown above.   So, again, are there any updates that this truck really should have? I've checked with my dealer but they're reluctant or commit to anything and if I want them to check, they require a $200.00 fee just to check it out and then I'd have to pay for the actual update(s).    Ignorance is bliss, and if none of the updates goes to fixing any mechanical discrepancies, I'll just leave things as is.

      Electrical Problem - solved

      By CNH-320 · Posted

      Hey everyone, I recently had an issue with my 07 2500HD GMT900. My DRL’s stay on at all times. Right front turn and right mirror turn signal indicator stay on solid at all times. By “at all times” I mean the only way to make them go off is disconnecting the battery. I tore the headlight assemblies out, tried disconnecting the harnesses to eliminate bad wiring at the harness, I unplugged the headlight switch, no change and the mirror turn signal still stayed on. My first thoughts were : Bad bulb and/or socket somewhere, under hood fuse panel bad, bcm bad, tail light or trailer wiring problem, or some random short to power in the harness.  Possibly a bad ground but unlikely. I had a big clue in the fuse panel, it had a burnt smell. I started pulling every fuse that had to do with DRL or right turn/park lamp. Nothing made the right directional turn off but pulling the DRL2 fuse made the DRL’s go out.  After studying wiring diagrams, I found that both problems had that fuse panel in common, the bcm also controls both problems but knowing the fuse panel had a burnt smell I removed and disassembled the fuse panel and found a little corrosion on the printed circuit board.  I ordered a new fuse panel from Amazon for like $260. When it arrived I installed it, and put everything back together, the problem was fixed. I figured the fuse panel needed to be replaced anyway so that was a logical place to start. Hopefully this story helps someone in the future. Regretfully I didn’t scan for codes before I did everything.

      That stinks. I’m sitting on the side of the road right now with the same issue. Never had an issue before taking it in for the ground strap recall. Now I’m outside of warranty and they’ll probably want $200 just to diagnose what they already “fixed”.
