Ran around like a blue arsed fly today. Headed out at 8:30 this morning to get the grocery shopping done before the crowds descend. Headed north to pick up a driver shaft I had a different... -
Ran some errands this morning. They want to have level 2 background checks done for staff at work, so went and got my finger printing done while I was out. Stopped by Harbor Freight for a couple...

Mooseman reacted to Sqrly's post in the thread SOLVED! Steering Rack Replacement (is this all correct?) with
Like.
Rack and Pinion = $260 Power steering fluid = $9 Tip about plug socket = Priceless 😉 Thanks for the tip, paired with a ratchet wrench it was easy. Note: it was a shallow 12 point 13/16" plug... -
If you have a mechanics stethoscope, use it. If not, get one. I use mine all the time.

It occurs to me that if these are THAT easy to get to, I can probably just put my hand on them while i turn on the truck and feel which, if any of them, are the ones ticking. Hopefully I have time...

Personally, I would begin by replacing BOTH the MODE and the DEFROST actuators. These are the two that control where the airflow goes AND they are the easiest to do. They are right next to each...

Mooseman reacted to 02FailBlazer's post in the thread inner tie rod plastic cup/collar thing with
Love.
Just wanted to add something for future readers since I've been thinking about these - if they're destroyed as mine were, a possible replacement option might be to acquire an appropriately sized... -
Mooseman replied to the thread Airbag Module Battery Voltage Only 9.4V.Now I'm curious about the voltages at the SDM. Almost makes wanna check mine with the Tech 2 and compare but mine's a 2007.

Haha. Key On Engine Off, I should have known. OK. Well, I checked all these things and I found good connections and no resistance problems. Today I was luck to get a visit from my...

I think the EXT was feeling neglected, since I spend all of my free time on house projects, and not tinkering with it much anymore. This issue reared it's head again on Thursday evening. Started...

Mooseman replied to the thread Engine Dies at 40mph 1500rpm and 140 degrees....It's located at the fuel filter under the truck. I only mentioned the EXT because they had early failures of the tank filler neck that SWB trucks are now starting to show the same type of failure.

Mooseman replied to the thread ACDelco Brake Fluid Recall for sediment.Moved to the News section. Did a little digging and this is what I found: Since it's from a batch from 2022, unless it sat on a shelf since then (either yours or at the dealer/store), might not...

Mooseman replied to the thread Front Defroster Suddenly Ticks.There are 5 actuators: https://gmtnation.com/forums/threads/a-c-control-issues-2005-tb.4844/#post-93259 Try each control individually. For the mode, go from defrost to dash vents for the...

Mooseman reacted to christo829's post in the thread NEED HELP 05 Trailblazer Fuel Gauge Problem. Bad PCM? with Like.
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...

Mooseman replied to the thread Engine Dies at 40mph 1500rpm and 140 degrees....And the metal top of the fuel pump also tends to rust through and cause a leak. A smoke test would likely be needed to confirm.
-
Mooseman replied to the thread Engine Dies at 40mph 1500rpm and 140 degrees....P0340 is not for the crank sensor but for the camshaft sensor. This might be the cause of the stalling. I would tackle this first to eliminate it as a possible source. Pull it out, clean it and...

Mooseman reacted to Sqrly's post in the thread SOLVED! Is this supposed to be like this? (new steering rack) with
Haha.
Sorry I started a new thread to get more attention... I was planning on putting this in tomorrow. Anyways, I'm looking at this new steering rack and this doesn't look right to me but I didn't... -
Mooseman replied to the thread Airbag Module Battery Voltage Only 9.4V.No personal experience but did you check the voltage with a DMM at the connector? Check with key on engine off as it is a switched power to it. Check again with a light bulb (like a brake...

Mooseman replied to the thread SSV Unit K330 From NJ.Welcome! I've driven a lot of these during my service and they also suffer from AFM lifter failure so at the very least, deactivate it before it does. Enjoy!

The work went as planned. The engine air filter had some pine needles and straw on it and in the air box and because of the MAF sensor location, had to remove the air box top for access and the...

Mooseman replied to the thread Sea Doo and trailer. Approx 1300 lbs. Tow in 3rd?.I'd try it in D and see how it acts. Probably will still need to downshift to 3rd going up grades or you notice it hunting between 3rd and 4th. Headwinds can also affect towing.
-
Mooseman reacted to TollKeeper's post in the thread Sea Doo and trailer. Approx 1300 lbs. Tow in 3rd? with Like.
I guess it would depend on the terrain and gearing. If you have the GU6 gearing, I would tow in 3rd. If you are noticing the transmission shifting more than it would normally, put it in 3rd.

Just watched the video. I'm not too sure about the carb cleaner being sprayed all over stuff to find vacuum leaks. Wouldn't that be a problem on plastic and rubber parts? I've always used a...
