Easy way to purge air from a coolant system is to "ice pack" the system. When going for final fill add a bunch of ice with the motor running. As the ice cubes melt they obviously turn to water and will find the / fill the smallest of air pockets. Have done this trick on many vehicles both...
Question:
Got to drive my M998 with the new to me X doors for the first time on it this past weekend and the things rattle / shimmy / shake like a MF'er.
I have really had no time to look into what could be the cause or a fix but are these known to be loud ? Any fixes I should look into / be...
A 5.3L will always be a cheaper buy then a LS1/2/3/6 etc.
I also said for around the $5k price that comes with a trans too.
Your not getting a LS with a trans for a grand, and if you are their both junk..

Add in...

Plus you don't have to deal with electronics, different drive shafts, etc..
Agree 100%.
I have been going around to try and find a decent shop that can / and more importantly wants to work on these trucks with little to no success.
Figure in a city like Chicago that wouldn't be a issue but I was wrong..
Do some looking around on these boards as this topic has come up many a times.
I feel the easier the motor can breathe in air and get rid of the exhaust the better it will run.
air in+ fuel + air out = power
If you add more fuel along with more air you should in theory make more power. Adding...
