    4l80e clicking/rattling noise

    It was just a fluid and filter change. I have heard horror stories from people flushing there turbo hydromatics so k didn't want to risk it. That is a possibility though. A cracked flex plate might be another possibility. Can you see from the inspection plate if your flexplate is cracked or is...

    1998 c2500 brakes locking up

    Update: I replaced my wheel bearings, rotors, brake pads and calipers on the front wheels. At first I thought that solved the problem however when it rains they still act goofy and lock up at low speeds. I'm thinking along the lines of ABS? Or maybe the drums in the rear. If it's the abs is...

    1998 c2500 brakes locking up

    Hey guys I have a 1998 c2500 8 lug truck. One night coming home from work a deer ran out in front of me and I locked up my breaks. They have never been the same since then.

    350 Vortec loosing coolant?

    The oil doesn't look milky but after I topped of the coolant with 50/50 the oil level isn't going down. But the oil doesn't look milky. It doesn't leak a drop of any fluid either.

    350 Vortec loosing coolant?

    I just purchased a 1998 c2500 with a 350 Vortec with a 4l80e. It's a decent truck except that it uses coolant. When I first got it I changed the oil and drove it for a while. I noticed it was burning some oil so I was adding a 1/4 quart in 500 miles. My stupid self forgot to look at the coolant...

    To change? Or not to change? 4l80E fluid

    Ok thanks for the replies. How many quarts does it take? It has the factory trans cooler (I think they all do?), And what trans fluid is the best for a high milage trans?

    To change? Or not to change? 4l80E fluid

    Hey I just bought a 1998 c2500 350 Vortec with 204,000 miles. I'm going through it and doing a bunch of maintenance and I was wondering about the trans fluid. I've heard horror stories that the fluid was changed and the trans started to slip because the clutches got used to the way that fluid...
