I had an 00 ext cab silverado. now I got an 05 crew just wondering what year they got rid of the drain hole for the rear diff and why. Also whats up with the windshield wipers went to go clean the window and the wipers don't stay up anymore. Like the electric fan I thought that would free up some horse power but the book still says 295 maybe they just didn't want to reprint. One more thing when I changed oil the book called for pf46 filter, went and bought one but when I took off the one that came from the factory it was a pf44.

1. Diff. drain plug was removed with the '03 model.

2. Windshield wipers = another change to save some cash

3. Donno

4. pf44 has been replaced by the pf46, presumably they had pf44s on hand and used them. You can use the same pf52 that you put on your old truck if you want a deeper filter. The purpose of going to 44/46 was to use the same oil filter on all GM small block V8s - again, money.

I believe the SAE net hp rating won't change because the engines aren't dynoed with the fan on. Which wouldn't really cause a difference with the electric fans if they were 'attached' during the dyno :flag: . Anyhoo, the hp at the crank is the same, but you'll be getting more hp at the wheels as the engine power isn't be used to drive the fan as well.

      Help purchasing a touch screen digitizer

      By mark249 · Posted

      Brought my 2015 Colorado into the dealership to check my touch screen issues, had that ghost touch thing happening. They said I needed a new touch screen and they could either order me one for $500. The lady at the service deck was nice enough to tell me I could order a touch screen online for less, she did stipulate that the touch screen had to be factory OEM, you can't pair an aftermarket screen to my radio seeing it was 2015, it had to be a GM factory OEM only. I found a few on Amazon and Ebay by the numbers on the back of the old screen, DJ080PA-01A GM# 22740886, Some said "OEM" in the description and others just said "Replacement". Would a replacement be the same as a OEM as long as it had the same numbers on the back of the screen? In some of the descriptions they also show different brand names but same numbers, is that an issue?

      I have both but typically use the 4 legged walker (wheels on front, ski's on back).   The four wheeler is starting to be used on "longer" outdoor walks.  The 4 legged walker is particularly helpful in practicing good walking posture.  Both of my knees are at different stages of recovery and I'm trying to not develop poor habits.  I can actually manage with a cane but it's very difficult not to favor one leg over the other.  My PT recommends I continue with my 4 legged walker for a while.  Yesterday was four weeks since my last knee replacement and I'm excited about my progress to date.  It has been a hell of a rough journey so far but it is exciting to witness  systematic and continuous improvement.  I went for years watching the decline of my "mobility".  It seems that everyday now I am alerting my wife to something I can do now that I couldn't a day or two ago!  I encourage anyone facing the prospect of knee replacement to share any concerns with others who have had the surgery.  It isn't an instant fix but rather is a considerable amount of short term pain for long term gain.  Recovery time and pain levels vary for individuals post surgery but the end results are typically very positive and I've never encountered anyone regretting having had the surgery.

      The lifter issue can be dealt with by shorter oil changes and quality oil IMO.

      Wiring Help, Please

      By Core-Lokt · Posted

      I'm putting in an A-pillar pod/gauges, and I'm asking if anybody can identify a (preferably) fuse for a switched power and illumination circuit on the driver's side interior fuse panel. Offhand, everything I checked with a test light was constant-hot, and I'd much rather uses a piggyback fuse. I can certainly find a wire, but I'd rather not half-tap.   Thanks in advance for any help.
