Loctite required? They never heard of a nylon locknut? Or is that too expensive to use?

 

Loctite will hold far better then a nylon locknut, I have had nylon locknuts back off and come loose.

 

There are many different types of Loctite which I think its the red that has to be heated to remove the nut, each color has different holding strength. If it were me making that decision whether to use Loctite or a nylon locknut I would go with the Loctite every time.

I'm guessing it had more to do with cost. Every shop already has loc-tite on hand. A new nuts sent to every dealer would cost much more.

 

I haven't looked under the dash but it may already be a nylock nut that just don't hold well enough or the nut might be welded to the bracket so thread lock on the bolt is the only option.

Just had my inspection and recall done tonight.

Asked about headlights and new bulbs with flashing ECM , did I fall in that category and bingo I did.

1 1/2 hours later all done.

Had the recall taken care of during the first oil change. The note on the work order said the bolt had been installed backwards and was corrected during this service trip.

When they corrected this problem at the factory they reversed the bolt to let the dealers no it was taken care of at the factory.

      Auto start stop disable

      By dennismc · Posted

      I installed the Auto stop eliminator on my 21 Sierra SLT shortly after I got it. They have a detailed video instruction on how, took me about 20-30 minutes to do. I was apprehensive too to start tearing apart a new truck but it was pretty easy install. Like you mentioned get some trim tools. I went to Harbor freight and picked up a set. If you can find some install videos/instructions to give you and idea for a plan of attack you should be fine.

      OCI, not when but why?

      If all oil manufacturers had to meet a higher standard for not just the initial filtering of the oil but that they had to improve on their formulation so that the oil cleaned the engine such as the Valvoline R&P or the new Mobil product ( assuming it works similar of course ), and the oil was changed on an interval based on good UOA data, there shouldn't be any gremlins running around like miniture rats on top of your heads to be washed down into the oil pan below 😁

      A while back on another thread there were comments and thoughts on air filters and I know that can tend to be a bit of a hot topic because of outfits that have a vested interest in selling aftermarket air boxes fitted with the gauze type of oiled elements touting the lower air restriction. However and unfortunately I don't know where I have seen the test results in the past about the amount of dirt through a test procedure that these style of filters do pass more dirt through than a properly designed ( not some cheap Chinese knock off ) paper/synesthetic media filter can do. Lake Speed had a conversation on that topic with one of the employees at Donaldson and there seemed to be a consensus of these oiled filters falling short in the absolute percentage of dirt holdback.    Which all ties back into how good the air filter is on the engine at keeping dirt out as that is going to reflect as a contaminant introduced into the oil as well as cylinder wear even if some of that dirt does find its way out of the exhaust rather then the crank case. Put another way that one can throw the kitchen sink at filtering the oil and using a bypass system which I fully expect will do nothing but good for the oils contamination but if the air filter system isn't doing its job then its preventing the engine from reaching the best wear/lasting case scenario instead.    Now perhaps this topic is or isn't for this particular thread but Grumpy Bear or anyone else for that matter, do you have access to some scientific trust worthy testing on engine air filter types to get some proper comparison data to post up.

      WOW, something we agreed on. I only bought at sticker twice. A 94 impala ss and an Acura intagra type r. Made money on the first. Still have the second.
