Mine does this every once in a while and it is also leaving work, but adding 4-8 oz of fluid to the transmission makes it work again. I should drop the pan and change filters
I ran autolite double platinum in the 2006 for a couple years and it didn't affect the mileage. Wasn't any change when I went back to the copper plugs either
I don't think pot holes have much to do with it, I don't hit them and I had the front left ball joint snap turning into my driveway a couple years ago, that scars up a rim pretty good
I just replaced the starter on my 2006 last year and also replaced the front driveshaft because the rear boot was shot. Rockauto had an awesome deal on the acdelco reman starter
A sawzall will work but you will be bloody. The stroke on the sawzall I had was a bit long for the space on top of the blades being longer than I wanted. I lost count of the blades I destroyed doing the drivers side rear bolt. The passenger side freed up after a good soaking in penetrating...
I saw I slight improvement in gas mileage when my front driveshaft was out. from 20 mpg to about 22 mpg. I removed it to replace the starter and notice the rear CV of the front shaft was shot, so I left it out until the new one arrived
I haven't hooked up a scantool to see what it may report but I am sure that it just shifts the trans into third gear with the TCC locked
My 96 Chevy would shut off the injectors going downhill long enough
I think the deceleration mode only works going downhill using cruise control on my 2006 and then it happens when the speed is about 5 mph over the cruise setting
You really want to see higher voltage on the O2's that are downstream of the catalytic converters as this shows that the excess fuel is being burned off and there is less oxygen. They shouldn't show over 0.1V as that would mean they are shorted to voltage somewhere.
I would replace the upstream sensor(between engine and catalytic) on the passenger side as the heater circuit code is a definite sign of a bad O2 sensor- they have slow reaction times when they are cold. The wiring for the downstream sensor on passenger side needs to be looked at as the wires...
I would expect an O2 sensor with a fault to be ignored and the fuel system to run in open loop. My 2006 was throwing the drivers side cat code not long after I bought it, the cat isn't clogged but it isn't doing anything as the pre cat and post cat O2s have similar voltage readings. I have 200...
Good experience for him. The drivers side rear on mine was easy, the passenger side fought me even after turning back the auto adjusters for the parking brake on the 2006
