I hate to tell you but you really need to sand the clear off the bed. It won't stick other wise and will just flake awake. I've used pretty much every major brand and none adhered very well to non-standard finishes.STLtrailbSS said:
I know GM, in the owner's manual, states to use the %, and so I've been using a combo of both. I was doing 30% or 5,000 miles, whichever came first. But this last one was just over 2 quarts for 5,200 miles (I was planning to change it but had the issue first). I added a quart around 1,800 miles, another around 3,500. When I dropped it off todayt wasn't a full quart down. I made sure that the shop knew that it was chewing through oil after they did the last repair.IllogicTC said:Screws usually work.Pick the appropriate size and ensure there's nothing behind what you're about to drill into. I can't recall the specific type of screw we use at work but it holds to PVC well and there's nothing special about them, just plain old stainless steel screws of various shapes, heads and lengths from what I can tell. If you ever decide to remove it, you'll of course have the hole(s) there unless you go all-out and get some of those button-style plastic covers that just snap over holes and paint them appropriately or something.
Depends a lot on your interval. Do you go by the %, or by a mileage? The official GM number is 1 quart every 3000 miles/kilometers (I can't remember which, but I'd rather go by miles, since that many km is not very many miles at all!) is acceptable. So if you've gone 7500, 1 quart is perfectly within spec, though not exactly the not-one-drop wonder-car some lucky folks around here have.
both have a nice crack going all the way around the rubber.
Moog here.Mounce said:Checked tire pressures. While I was there I figured I'd look at the upper ball joints...
Anyone got suggestions on brands for ball joints? I figure the lowers are cracked too.
Looks to sit nice and level. How much you figure is loaded in there in the picture?revamp said:A week ago I had z71 springs put on. Sure it was a stiffer ride empty but with gear and family on our trip this weekend, it was great and nice to not have my backend sagging anymore.

Could be helpful to fill out your user info. If someone happens to catch something on Ebay or Craigslist, knows you're looking, and knows you're nearby, they may shoot you a heads up.Noel Crystal said:
Why, yes I can.mcsteven said:
Thank you very much. So 1 quart for 2,000 miles. Anyone want to buy those 4 cases of Mobil 1 that I won? I haven't claimed them yet, so they'd get delivered to your door. Your choice of flavors, etc. I guess I will post this in the for sale section, but until I do (tomorrow) you can certainly PM me.IllogicTC said:
Thats why I sold my magnaflow duals cause since im lowered it touch the fuel lines and hit my rear differential luckily I smelled it before there was any damageNoel Crystal said:I got the exhaust done. Stainless Borla system. Sounds great. I also found out why you don't see duals often on these. Because with all the fuel lines and filler neck mess above the rear axle you really shouldn't. He told me I could but he couldn't guarantee I wouldn't damage something with the heat exposure.

lower ball joints looked fine though.
Why did you have to authorize it? I need a new motor lol, I'll authorize them to replace mine also!!!mcsteven said:
I probably didn't. They called me and told me what they found, their next step, and at the end the guy just says, "just wanted to let you know before we move forward."Venomhatch said:
...to the dealer I go, I guess.
