Thanks guys. I tried checking the fluids but nothing seemed low. Trucks been sitting a while and noticed it after driving for a bit over the weekend.

Got a pretty major leak from one of the hard lines running above the left front strut tower near the battery. Pretty sure its either an oil or trans cooler line as it appears to connect to the radiator but I can't see where the other end goes and I can't get under the vehicle. I've included a...

OK, so I just had some time to watch the videos posted by Roadie and HOLY CRAP! I would never let it go to the point where it was that noisy as it would drive me bat shit insane! Right now it's just a rumbling that can be heard over the normal tire noise from inside the passenger compartment...

Thanks for all the feedback everyone. I should have been a little more specific as to the time frame: I was just looking to put things off till April when the weather starts to warm up which would equate to about 3,000 miles and I could then pay cash for the parts (instead of using plastic). The...

Thanks for the info Mikekey, I'll keep them in mind. I was expecting more along the lines of a $200+ each (which is about what the Delco part on Rockauto is listed at). That being said I did some Googling and found a thread on TruckForum.org with this: Also found complaints in regards to...

Noticed a rotational drone from the front end in my 03 TrailBlazer LT about a week ago. 99% sure it's a wheel bearing (or 2) but I'm looking for some advice. Between August 2011 and October 2013 I've dropped about $4,000 to do various repairs and maintenance. Money is a little tight right now...

Yeah, when it comes down to it, a visual inspection is nothing more than a personal opinion. :yes: <---- per my daughters request

It's called a personal property tax. Don't have it here in MD but they do in neighboring VA. They also have to get an annual safety inspection there. I believe it was $180 the last time I did it for my truck. We went to a bi-annual renewal a while back so that price covers 2 years and I...

Here in Maryland, emission inspections are required for all vehicles manufactured after 1977. Older vehicles are exempt. 77 - 95 vehicles they use a tailpipe sniffer while it idles and something with the gas cap (to make sure fumes aren't escaping, I assume). Vehicles from 96 and up it's...

Copying my post from another thread: Another thing to look at is the brake backing plates. Had this problem myself after new pads and rotors and went nuts for like 4 months trying to figure out the intermittent squeal that sounded like the wear indicators. There's a video over at youtube on...

GPS equipment. I've never rented a car, but read the fine print in the contract and I'm willing to bet they reserve the right to track the vehicle and make sure you didn't take it somewhere you weren't, not to mention that they could potentially monitor things like speed in the event an accident...

Any chance you could post a link to the ones you bought? I'd like HID's but don't feel i have the technical expertise (or the extra funds if I break something) to mod my stock lights.

I played Eve Online (for about 6 years) but got tired of the monthly subscription and all the work I had to put into it. Switched to Guild Wars 2 about 3 months ago and have been enjoying it so far. Much less work and only the one time cost of purchasing the game. As far as FPS games, used to...
