    Before or after deep frying a turkey?

    I'm pretty sure the GM paint names are developed by marketing people without regard to their actual color. They'll even have multiple names for the same paint.

    Glass park lights???

    Yes. Is the grey an early frontend thing?

    Fuel Quality!

    We do get high humidity, but not the heat. You can't walk too far in Michigan before your feet get wet.

    Glass park lights???

    I think both my originals and TYC replacements are black. If I didn't toss the originals I'll have to check to see what color they are. I know I have the corner lights and reflectors still.

    Glass park lights???

    Why is the frame around the lens grey and not black?

    Fuel Quality!

    I don't' seem to have issues with gas going bad. I just put the last of my 2-stroke mix into my leaf blower and used it a few days ago. That gas was mixed last year... or the year before. Mowers also start with fuel that's been sitting. Here in MI, ALL of our gas has ethanol in it, unless...

    Oil Filters with good anti-drainback valves?

    Menards stocks Purolator, too.

    I’m out of ideas now. Random misfire, hard start.

    All vehicles are prone to specific problems. You would probably be better off starting you're own thread, so people don't get confused on who's truck is whose, besides "exact same problem" often times ending up being different enough to require another solution.

    Pulled intake manifold to change gaskets

    Could you give some more insight on that? I'm not seeing the purpose, if it's just a case of lifters being gunked up internally, and not a wear issue at the cam.

    How did you know I tried making bread last night? :crazy:

    2004 Impala LS (3.8L) Questions

    It does get some engine heat, but it's out of the sun, so it might be ok. Here's an idea, Though. If the existing part can be slid out of it's home, on the connector, how about cutting the existing peg/post/pin off, drilling a hole, and pushing a new regular pin through from the back?

    screws for roof mounting

    I think I'd be afraid of it falling, either due to vibration or a collision (deer, car, whatever). I'd rather have it down low. Unless maybe newer CBs are lighter than the old ones I've seen.

    Vacuum canister

    OP, what's your opinion on using hydraulic oil in a transmission?

    Pulled intake manifold to change gaskets

    I was thinking something similar, but gasoline instead of diesel. My thinking is that gas might be more likely to really liquefy the crap, and not leave clumps that could plug up the oil pickup. I've not done either, so I'm just extrapolating from when I cleaned some valve covers with gas...

    2004 Impala LS (3.8L) Questions

    The best way to get one of those would probably be from a local salvage yard.

    Can a heat soaked starter cause sputtering and surging?

    The starter doesn't do anything once the engine is running.

    Oil Filters with good anti-drainback valves?

    I've got many brands of filters. The minute I decide I like one, I find two more I want to try. I don't drive my truck often enough to warrant a lot of oil and filter changes so I've got a drawer full.

    Really wish ppl would stop bringing me trucks with hydraulic fluid in trans

    I tried decarboning my Buick 350 with hose water about 30 years ago. I got tired of using the trigger on a squirt bottle and grabbed the hose with a spray nozzle on it. Thankfully I was careful enough not to hydro lock it.

    Really wish ppl would stop bringing me trucks with hydraulic fluid in trans

    I don't know what I do wrong, but I could never get a French press to work for me. My sister uses one all the time, Though. I've taken to a pour over, if I'm making coffee at home. Potatoes? Never heard of them being in chili, but I'd try it. I'm always getting something by Bells. I...

    I’m out of ideas now. Random misfire, hard start.

    Because it's messy, and fragments any information you or others post. It also could be taken to falsely boost your post count to gain access to hidden areas, or to look more legit for spamming purposes. It's also looks like you're demanding our attention.
