Hey I don't mean for this to sound like the Leaf Spring Rattle post at all, on my 99 GMC Sierra it clunks really frickin loud from a stop about 98% of the time. I was told it is the leaf spring insulators but I want to make sure it isn't anything more serious before sinking $150 bucks for four chunks of rubber. Does anyone else have this problem??

  Years ago this was a big problem with any vehicle with multiple leaf springs. I had a grease wedge that you would hammer into the springs and shoot some grease in between the leaf. I have not seen that tool in years. I would go to an old timer and see if he has one. It made the back end ride like new.

  It is acceptable. The temp range is really to just make sure the t-stat is open and fluid is circulating fully. (Even easier is to just put in 6 qts.)

  Hi Hopefully someone has already encountered this and figured out the fix. I get in the truck and start the engine: -the seat belt light will be on. -when I fasten the belt, the light will start blinking. -after ~1 minute (driving or sitting still) the light will go off, the 'Fasten Seat Belt' will illuminate on the dash and the system will beep a few times. The 'Fasten Seat Belt' will go off after a few seconds. -after ~3 minutes, same thing with the 'Fasten Seat Belt' on the dash and a few beeps again. 'Fasten Seat Belt' goes back off. Nothing else happens again. -This happens whether or not the passenger belt is buckled. I've taken compressed air and blown out both buckle latches - no help. Ideas?
