Well I just checked the intake manfold bolts on the Trailblazer, except for the one at the very back and the one behind the alternator. I wouldn't really say they were loose, but they were definately a little less than snug. Maybe an 1/8 to 1/4 turn to feel the bolts were holding firmly. No...

I've been thinking the same thing. Even just the torque spec on the bolts would help. Definately could be one of those things that is worth checking out.

I made the swap from a single disk factory headunit to a six disk bose unit as well. The other posters are correct, you need someone with a tech2 to program your vin into the headunit. Before you do though, if you haven't already, pull the fuse from the radio for a second and then turn the key...

When my doors get that groaning noise it is usually not coming from the hinges, but from that metal bar in the middle of the door jam that helps hold the door open. There is a black rubber plug on the door side. If you pull it out and look inside the door there are a couple of rollers, one on...

Your fuel consumption seems on the high side, but not necessarily out of line. If you manage to get 13L/100km consistantly in mixed driving you will be doing really good from my experience. You can probably expect the average to improve another 1.5-2L/100km if you pay attention to the display...

Ok, the thread title was designed to get your attention, I don't really think that all dealerships are going to closeup overnight or anything. They do have their place for a lot of customers who need and are willing to pay for their services. But what if you are a new automaker to North...

Ok, this is something I have been thinking about lately and it should be interesting to see what people on the board think about it. Considering that most people seem to come here for info to their own vehicles and avoid the dealer unless they have no choice I can figure we are biased against...

1200lbs for the sleds, how much for the trailer? Open trailer or enclosed? I tow two sleds in an enclosed trailer with my Trailblazer and it dosen't break a sweat. It's a narrow inline trailer, so tucks in behind the truck without a lot of wind resistance. A side by side enclosed trailer and...

I can't believe that anybody would put that much effort into messing up their own truck. If he thinks a snorkle kit on the outside looks ugly, all that pvc pipe coming up into the cabin is a lot worse. I wonder how well he has sealed the holes in the floor or if the water splashes in on those...
