Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions, and know-how to do a job properly and safely.

Had the same problem on my old 99, (power) and 2000 Sierra (manual) guess GM didn't really care much to fix this issue either with the 900s, I suppose I should expect the Fuel guage/sending unit to start going to hell at around 70,000 miles and the G-80 to bite the dust around 90,000 miles. I wonder what else GM has carried over to the GMT-900s that they knew would have issues, but did not want to spend the $$$ to upgrade.

Jacking my own thread here (I dont care if ya'll dont). I did have a question, what exactly failed on your old GM truck ryan? (a list please with mileage of when part failed) The purpose to my question is determine if I should start replacing parts before they fail....thanks for the comment Bostonsfavson.

 

I know I am going to get flamed for my way of thinking but oh well....

yeah my train of thought is the same when it comes to oil changes and what not. Most everybody I know (dad included) changes things out before they go. dad changed altenator at 100,000 miles, changed battery after 3 years - dont know the mileage, changed the rotors and pads once the rotors were on the second set of pads, replaced the passenger side light bulb when the drivers went out (yes he changed the drivers at the same time). Dad pretty much taught me to listen for the 'small' things that give the tell tell signs of when something is about to fail. That is my train of thought when it comes to replacing things. the only reason I am looking for additional info is so I can begin to listen for the small things around that time (if that type of thinking makes any kind of sense). I can guarantee you that I dont care what my truck is sounding like right now, because it is under the factory warranty (it aint costing me anything) and I just make an appointment and take it it. Sorry if this offends someone........

I still have the squeaking windows on both front doors, but it's getting better with time. The first day I got her home, HOLY COW did they make noise!!! It screwed me up mentally (well, more than usual), to the point where I stop myself from lowering the windows, even when I need to. Like I said, it's getting better, but I need to get to the dealer to take care of this and that little matter about the leaking oil TSB.

 

Thanks for the heads-up, Mike!

Where is your vehicle leaking oil from Victor?

 

Will, it used to be one little half-drop of new oil, but I got under there to TRY to take a pic today and now it's all over the place and dark. I checked the dip stick and she's okay on the level, but I still need to make time to get her to the dealership... :D

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
