    Brake question...

    Just a friend of her brother's. He's a real mechanic, but he works for BMW, so I don't know what they know about Chevy brakes. Apparently not much.

    Brake question...

    Okay guys here ya go: Took it to a place yesterday that does all my car work. Really good reputable place. They looked it over and told me this: 1) Drums and shoes are new in the back. May take some time for the drums to get a little worn in since they are new. HOWEVER, the shoes were on...

    Brake question...

    Thank you all for the quick replies. I told her to be careful this week on her car and to take things slow, becuase she's afraid to take it into a car place herself for fear of getting ripped off or something. But we are taking it in this weekend somewhere to get it checked out. Thanks again...

    Hi guys... I'm not sure this is the right place to post this, but here goes: My girlfriend just got new brakes on her SUV. A friend did it for her that's a mechanic. I drove her truck today to see how they work, and did a panic stop from 40mph, and the truck didn't respond really at all. It...

    Why does my seat do this?

    WOAH!!! Yanno, I always thought that those handles were standard on all seats to move them forward and back for people with no power option, but then when the power option went in I just figured they made the handles stationary and they just stayed there. I never knew it did that!!!!!

    Truck won't shift out of first, unless off gas?

    Billy177: Nope, tried that... Runnin'OnEmpty: I told them to check it after reading your post, but everything was fine in that area. Got it back today... new trans. The guy said the trans was ****, and couldn't be salvaged. The 2nd gear clutchpak was completely gone I guess, and he said...

    Truck won't shift out of first, unless off gas?

    Hey guys quick problem..... I was driving tonight, taking off from a red light, normal accel, and all of a sudden the truck lurched, and shifted back into first gear, and wouldn't shift back out of it. So I rode in first for about 2 mins, and then let off the gas, and it shifted into second...

    What are pinion and carrier bearings??

    Anyone heard of these? Those are new terms to me. The reason I ask is because I have this awful noise coming from my rear end when I'm driving, and when I'm slowing down or coasting between like 15 and 30, there's a really bad groaning noise from the back. So the dealer has it, and told me it's...

    Strange Noise

    Not to take away from the original thread or anything, but the topic title works for me too and I didn't want to double post the same topic title..... I had my trans worked on about a week and a half ago, and ever since I've had this groaning noise coming out from the rear end somewhere like...

    Rear Wheel Bearing Question

    I'm having the same exact problem. When I'm driving at higher speeds I don't hear it but when I'm slowing down I can hear a groaning from the rear end somewhere, and it's loud. Kinda like "wah wah wah wah wah wahhhh wahhhhhh wahhhhhhhh" like when I'm going slow and stuff. I know, you can't...

    Leaking trans fluid from a very weird place... help please

    FINAL UPDATE Ok so they found out what it was. The bolts that hold the bell housing to the motor have little O seals on them. They were bad and leaking. So they're replacing all the bolts, and I told them to replace the front seal while they were in there too just in case. Other repairs...

    Leaking trans fluid from a very weird place... help please

    UPDATE #2 Truck is at the Ford dealer.... They called me today and said that it could be the seal, pump, or a torque converter issue. They also noticed that I have a torn CV boot, and so I am replacing that too, plus new rotors and pads, etc. Estimated out the door, worse case scenario...

    Leaking trans fluid from a very weird place... help please

    Exp-Wi: No not when braking, but like going over bumps, or turning and going over bumps, etc. Even like train tracks or curbs, I'd have a bad clunking.
