That's pretty classic for a stepper motor failure. When some of mine failed, they'd twitch up a little bit when they were supposed to do the sweep, then just fall back, usually below the zero point. On mine, oil and temp failed, but I went ahead and swapped all of them. Been behaving since...

Put some whiskers on it and it looks like a catfish getting ready to suck in some prey... ;)

Heh... I have one of those blow-molded plastic Craftsman tool boxes for my socket set, and I always wondered why they didn't have a spot for an 18mm socket as well. Still have most of my first full socket set from the 70's in it, and had to buy an 18mm socket separately. Would be interested...

What browser are you using, and have you tried it with a different browser? Are you on a personal computer or a work computer? Some companies lock down access to certain resources, but if it's your own computer, you should have full access or at least the ability to tell it to go ahead and...

How so? I just tested it, and the download worked fine once I told my browser (Firefox) to allow the pop up and then told the browser to download it. What sort of messages did you get?

Oh... If you're trying the links in the signature, those will open the thread, not the immediate download. You should try clicking on the Full Size GM Truck Service Manuals link in the body of the post. See if that changes the behavior of the download for you.

It should have downloaded a compressed file that you then have to uncompress to view. Did you get it to download? I used Firefox just now, and aside from having to tell it to allow the download, it worked.

My 04 has/had it. It was a complete nuisance when the exhaust valve developed a leak that allowed moisture to build up down at the air injection pump which then froze and rusted. It was delightful to delete it. I did notice back then that it took quite a while for the O2 sensors to report...

Yep! I use the cold mark to just eyeball any drastic level difference, but I don't use it as a strict volume gauge. When my lines rusted through, it was able to let me know that I had lost a lot of fluid, and also when I had enough back in it after patching in order to be able to drive short...

Amongst that list of replaced items, I saw fan, and I'm assuming that included a properly working clutch, but I may have missed whether the water pump was checked/replaced? Cheers- Chris

I took mine to 110 a few years ago, and as soon as it hit that it started bucking and slowing. Once I went under that, it settled down. I was a bit concerned until I remembered the limiter. So anecdotally it's normal. ;) Cheers- Chris

Glad he had time to pull over!
