Got a 2002 6.0 gas engine with 98000 miles. Just got the 100000 mile tune up with fuel injectors cleaned ,plugs wires etc. Anyway in the morning the trucks starts up fast no problem. If you drive and stop after a little while you go to start it takes 3 times of trying before it starts. Now if you kill it and start right up it starts easy. Sounds confussing but if i stop and wait hour or so hard to start, but if i wait over night or right a way starts perfect. Just a note this was occuring before the tune up. they said a new fuel filter was put on but who knows? Maybe fuel pump? thanks!

  Some updates after living with this cover for a couple weeks.... - Paddle latches are great. They should be rolled out across the Realtruck line. - My cover may be taking on water. We had a hard rainstorm the other night and the next morning when I opened the cover, water poured out of the plastic spring housing mounted to the underside of the second panel. Not sure how it got in there but I think it's getting through the seam on the outside above the spring. Sent pics to Realtruck so their engineers can look at it. - Tightening the rail clamps a little tighter seems to close up the gap between the rail and the truck cap. That has helped some of the leakage I was seeing. All in all - pleased, although I'm wondering if I got a dud with the water leak issued. Stay tuned.

  I just finished my first mow of the year. That Camaro headliner job sounds like a solid weekend project.

  I am sure the Dorman pan will be just fine, should hopefully slip in just like the factory pan without surprises although I've never actually talked to anyone that has installed one so I am just assuming it should fit, you will soon find out. Like I said I honestly figured these companies would poo poo the gas engine for aftermarket parts for the transmission pan wise simply because the meat and potatoes market is the Duramax due to them being the trucks that more often then not would be asked to tow really heavy weights and be looking for more oil capacity and cooling. I never happened to hear any words one way or the other by any company including PPE as per a plan to build a L8T version of the trans pan and so was surprised when I came across that the other day. I assume the pan you bought cost less anyway as these specialty companies like PPE, Banks etc sure don't give their products away.

  So, you're not a fan of doing electrical testing?
- 2023 GMC Canyon Elevation with 55K miles. Having trouble with Front and Back door actuators. I have replaced the driver side door and passenger back door actuators already. Now I'm having a problem with the driver side door again.

  have you considered it's an electrical problem, that you just temporarily fixed by moving the wiring and/or cleaning off the connector by disconnecting/connecting it?
