[Site has officially died]

yep my gauge cluster gone crazy to, when the temp gets over 115* out side it will work most times, shut it off and may not work again for months at a time.. only have 102660 miles on it. bought new in 03..oh trans went bad at 101,992 miles

[AWD Whinning Noise]

front career bearings.. known issue since 03. my ss only had 190 mi on it when i bought it new in 03.  dealer replaced hole front diff with a 04 diff, after they redid the rear 2x thinking it was the rear due to the sound travailing thru the drive line..

good luck

 

 

 

 

[TOG Headers and California Smog]

i have TOGS on my 03. the OE # i use is EO NO..D-549  they are for a 04. have not had any issue with smog. if they say their for a 01, then there should be a EGR tube on them i believe...or as above find a other shop...good luck

 

[Weighed my pig today and was surprised]

my 03 delivery weight was 5150 lbs. moved to CA weight with speedster cover was 5550 with half tank.

[Growl when on throttle in front goes away when coasting]

drain your front diff. and check for metal. common front end issue with carrier bearings going bad.

 

 

 

good luck

Are you saying that when you lock the truck with the remote, the passlock icon turns on in the cluster for about 10 seconds? If so that is completely normal.

yes, if that's so, i just have never noticed it before, have had the truck new since in 03.. thanks...

[passlock]

battery went stone dead the other night, and had to jump it off(27*) so it was time anyway for a new one. ever since i jumped it off the passlock icon on the cluster has been on when i set the remote, and stays on about 10 sec. then goes off. the red lite is flashing normally. is there a fuse, or relay for this, and where is it. nothing in the owners manual lists one..dealer is about 100 miles round trip, and i can't see going there for a .15ct fuse. any help is appreciated.

 

 

edit..have no codes.

[Ping when flooring it]

after 170k on it, it could be just some carbon build up. even running top notch gas you never know what the last owner ran. IMO- i would run 1/3 can of seafoam thu the intake..(follow directions) and the rest put in fuel tank, and see if that helps. cheep @ about $8 at most parts stores..

 

good luck

[Rear Differential Question]

are you sure the whining is coming from the rear? 03-04 AWD are known for having bad front carrier bearing issues. mine sounded like i had a bad rear pinion bearing, with 190 mi. on it. turned out to be the front carrier's that were bad.

 

good luck

[Gettin ready to do my exhaust]

what muffler(s) are you running now?

[tune up question]

I've used Seafoam for years with good results. both in the fuel tank, and intake.

[Gaylord Speedsturr Tonneau Cover]

that may be a newer design. my cover is 11 years old, so they may have up graded it.. still the best cover for the SS..

[2004 ss awd front end noise]

my 03 has been making that noise since new. don't worry about it...

[what is the best fuel injector cleaner out there]

i use Seafoam. marvel mystery oil is also a very good product..

[Clogged cat]

what it their reasons for not replacing the cat? emission tampering? headers?.. as far as i know as long as the cat is being replaced by a OEM replacement, or a CARB approved one. there should be no issues, but i could be wrong..been out of the smog business for some time..

 

try here..not been up dated since 09

who did your tune?

[black out]

blacked head lights, running lights, tail lights,

 

i would check with your local laws first..each state is different on what you can/can not get away with. IMO- i think it is a big safety hazard when you can't see a vehicle on a dark road until it's to late.
