Yes, engine speed can be controlled bi-directionally using a Tech 2 or an advanced scan tool. That said, I have had poor results using my VCX Nano and Tech 2 S/W running on my laptop; the RPM's... -

Took some staged pics, and figured I might as well flush and bleed my brakes while I was at it. Hadn't bled them in years, so the bleeder screws were pretty feisty. Kinda rounded off the rear...

The Sierra is at 107K km. Yesterday, I did an oil change. It's early at 65% OLM and just 4K km on the oil but watching The Motor Oil Geek on YT, found out that the ACDelco 0w20 DexosD (group 3...

Dropped Envoy off Tuesday morning, got the call last night that the leak was pinpointed to the rear main seal. Because of the time, and oversight they're going to drop the trans and replace both...

The slowness of the site, I suspect, are AI scraper bots. Had the same problem on the Caprice site so it has been locked down and available only to registered members after manual vetting, no...

I've seen that at the dealership as well, during my brief service writer stint. I'm playing it safe, and requesting that the senior tech be the one to work on it this time. Oh I also need to...

The reason I warned about this, is that when I ran shops, I saw some mechanics that rushed to do a comeback and still created a problem. I had to let some of them go, if the problem was repeated...

If you don't have time to to do it right the first time, how are you ever going to have time to fix it the next time?

Well that didn't take long, went to move the Envoy at work and saw a fresh spot of oil. Sure enough I get home, and see little droplets as it's running in the driveway. :Banghead: -

Got the call this afternoon the Envoy was ready, headed down to the shop and yeah. The tech who reinstalled the pick up tube, indeed pinched the o-ring causing it to not seal. So they replaced it...

The amount of grease at the end of boot shows it is not a fresh tear. Plus, that whole side is wet. You have other leaks, IMO. Got vehicle back from where? You would think a shop would have...
