  1. i have a 2003gmc z71 and every time i make a left turn it makes a clunk noise. it doesnt sound like a ball joint, could it possibly be the shock and is there any ay to tell if it is
  2. I have a 91 Blazer fullsize with a 241c transfercase, does anyone know of anywhere on the net that sells rebuilt ones for reasonable prices, or whole rebuild kits including the hard parts not just gaskets and seals. thanks
  3. Well I tried that and now it is back into the shop, one of the idiot mechanics finally pulled the valve cover off and it had the milkshake stuff in it, so its probably the head gasket like i told them to begin with, because the coolant doesnt run through the intake on those engines. Its just weird that a motor with 59k miles would have a blown head gasket. It probably has had a slow leak for about 6 months now, do you think the blown head gasket being blown for this long would cause any damage to the crank and rod bearings, it has already caused some to the lifters, they are replacing them as well.
  4. well i took the truck to the dealership and they said it was the waterpump, anyways they put a new one on, filled the resevoir and sent me on my way, well 4 days later, i checked the coolant and again its a little low, not a lot but a little. Is it normal to lose a little coolant or maybe there was air in the cooling system from when they did the work.
  5. I have a 2003 gmc z71 with a 5.3 motor, and here lately ive been having a lifter tap after the vehicle sits for a few hours, it is usually in 40-50 degree weather. I use 5w-30 motorcraft oil and change it every 3 months because i never reach 3000 miles on it. I took it on a road trip the other day a drove about 400 miles, and half way on the trip it started tapping but only for a few minutes. It has 59,000 miles on it, is this normal or may I have a problem? thanks in advance
  6. the tailpipies are about 6 months old and have a lot of rust and buildup in them, i have to add coolant about every month. Im thinking its the intake gasket since there is no build up in the oil
  7. its an 03 z71 with a 5.3, and the cap has a good seal, i was looking in the oil though and it seemed to be a little thin , it was just changed about 200 miles ago, im wondering if there is a small intake gasket leak, if so would it show up it a pressure test even though its not causing any real buildup of coolant and oil
  8. I have a 03 z71 and it leaks or burns up coolant. I have searched the entire engine compartment and can not find the leak, the heater core is good, there is no coolant in the oil. I cant find where its all going aany help would be greatly appreciated thanks in advance
