Q: new chevy truck had a bunch of black smoke from its tailpipe?
i think it was a 2007 model truck but every time it accelerated, black smog would shoot out. its most likely oil burning, but what caused this, especially with it being so new?
A: If diesel, dirty air filter, clogged injectors, Injector body out of time, bad fuel. Not normal under any circumstances. I have a 3.0 turbo Diesel 4X4 2 1/2 years and it doesn’t smoke.
NOTE; That new get it back to the dealer under warranty
Q: What do you think of the new Chevy truck?
I think it’s one of the first woking truck, US made that can run of an alternative fuel, and is capable of not running on all cylinders for fuel efficency. If you had the money would you buy one, because of those qualities?
A: It’s OK if you like those features and you like the new look. Ford and Chevy have been making flex fuel vehicles for several years now. GM, Ford, and Chrysler have had cylinder de-activation technologies for years. The interior and sheet metal are new, that’s pretty much it.
I think the best thing about the new Chevys is that GM is finally turning around its marketing approach and cranking out good commercials with Mellencamp’s music.
Just don’t buy any new vehicle in its first model year. In the first model year every part is supplied by the lowest bidder without regard to quality. The problems don’t get worked out till at least a year or two later.
Q: How can I get my new Chevy truck to last at least 200,000 miles?
It is a 2007 Chevy Silveraldo with the 6.0 V-8. What are some of the things I can do to get it to last 200,000 miles, maybe even 300,000?
A: * Follow the maintenance guide in your owner’s manual and make needed repairs promptly.
* Use only the recommended types of fluids, including oil and transmission fluids.
* Check under the hood regularly. Listen for strange sounds, sniff for odd smells and look for fraying or bulges in pipes or belts. Also, get a vehicle service manual. They’re available at most auto parts stores or your dealership.
* Clean the car carefully inside and out. This not only helps the car’s appearance but can prevent premature rust. Vacuuming the inside also prevents premature carpet wear from sand and grit.
* Use only the best Synthetic Oil, Amsoil being
my oil of choice. 0W-30 is good for 25,000 miles when used with thier filters.

Q: how to unlock a stereo on a new chevy truck 2008?
i bought a Chevy stereo for my truck but when i installed the phrase locked show up so i want to now can i unlocked my self
A: No, you can’t unlock it yourself, unless you work for a dealer. The radio is programmed with the VIN (the specific serial number to each car/truck) and if the one in the radio doesn’t match the one in the BCM (body control module) then the radio will not work until it is programmed with the new VIN.
NICE*** You’re an idiot, in 2002 YOU COULD UNLOCK IT YOURSELF, simply by entering the unlock code with the hour and minute buttons..very simple procedure. BUT the new radios aren’t set up that way! THEY HAVE THE VIN programmed into them LIKE I SAID! I do this for a living EVERY DAY! so don’t tell me I don’t know what I’m talking about!
Q: Anyone hear of a brand new Chevy truck overheating?
The manual says that it is not uncommon.
It didn’t overheat, but the temp. gauge did go beyond the 210 degree line by about two or three lines and stayed there for a while, for those who were interested. But thats for the feedback, I will contact my dealer, just thought it may have been a semi-common problem.
A: Nope. I have a 2001 with 225,000 miles and it has never overheated.
I’m not sure how much you know about these, but for the newer (99 up) silverado V8s, 185 degrees is perfectly normal running temp. A good bit higher than the older ones, but its supposed to make them more responsive. Is that what you are referring to? Or is it severely in the red zone overheating? Even so, I’m not familiar with them having such a problem, and while I’m no mechanic, I’m very familiar with GM trucks.
Q: How often do I change the oil in a new truck?
I just bought a new Chevy truck. How often should I change the oil during the first year. Any other precautions with a new engine that I should be aware of?
A: i own a repair shop,and id change it every 3-5 thousand miles ,don’t go over that,other than that you should be fine,and with a new vehicle ,just use good common sense,and do your self a favor,get the owners manual and read it,this is a good book to read,if you,ll set down and read the whole book it will tell you when you need to change the oil as well as where all the fuses are located at,and which ones to use in it,most people sit back and don’t have the slightest clue of what to do when a fuse blows,read the book and you,ll know all this stuff and more,and it has in it a real good maintenance schedule also,good luck with it enjoy it while its new,i hope this help,s.

A: no its not a bad engine,but was it bored out or anything that would cause it to run more compression,that could affect the levels your seeing from it,i got one of their 350,s and its bored and has a cam in it,and it doesn’t run that high,that engine should be broken in good too,id try having it scanned real good,and see if anything comes up on a scanner,you may have a bad throttle body on it causing it to load up,it shouldn’t run no where near that high,something is causing it to load up,if you have a scanner run the scan on it at different times,and see what happens to it,it may change from the time it gets hot to a cooler time,that’s about all i know to tell you ,except make sure the timing is set exactly right on it,that will affect it a lot,mine runs real good and clean so yours should also,i have a throttle body injection,but try testing it a different temperatures and see if it changes,good luck with it.
Q: Losing oil pressure on my 1999 chevy truck. Should i get a new motor for my truck? What should I do.?
My truck has a lot of miles on it, can’t afford to buy a new truck right now. it is losing oil pressure sometime like early in the mornings.
When it warms up then it is ok.
What should I do to fix that problem?
A: If it only does it when cold and it’s ok when warm, then it’s NOT the oil pump. It’s not a bad bearing. Either you have a bad sending unit or your oil filter is partially plugged. Change the filter. Don’t buy a cheap brand. If the problem persists, change the sending unit.

Q: New chevy trucks how do they switch from a v8 to a v6?
I can’t remember what it’s called or what chevy truck that has it, but they have made it so the truck starts out as a v8 to get up to power then turns off 2 cylinders to make it a v6 to cruise around. Can anyone tell me what it is to look it up or explain to me how it does it because it just really confuses me and I just like knowing how stuff works.
A: Booge 4 right on the money. It’s so smooth you don’t notice the switch and the fuel mileage is much improved I got 22.9 highway.

Q: what 2007 Chevy truck has the same motor as the new Toyota truck? (Pontiac Vibe is a Toyota Matrix)?
Chevy Prism was a Toyota Corolla. Pontiac Vibe is a Toyota Matrix. New GMC or Chevy trucks have the same equivalent Toyota model but which GMC or Chevy trucks have this Toyota equivalent? Please list all possible. Thanks !
A: I agree with the Vibe to Matrix and Prism to Corolla, but the Gm trucks do not share any components with the Toyota Tundra’s to my knowledge.
Q: I want to trade my 2006 truck for a Chevy avalanche. Is it worth rolling money into the new one?
I have a 2006 Dodge Ram 1500 hemi.It has 69000 miles on it. I’m thinking about trading it in to get a new chevy avalanche.i do a lot of traveling so It would be nice to have one that has a longer warranty. I might have to roll in about $7000.00 into the new truck. Is this a bad move to make? is there any advise any one can give me about this deal?
A: I will give you the following points and allow you to decide for yourself.
1) If you do a lot of traveling, you’re probably putting more hiway miles than city, which means less wear and tear on your powertrain.
2) The reason you’re going to have to roll $7k into the new truck, is because trucks have really, really, god-awful resale value. So if the Avalanche costs $30k, and you’re rolling $7k into the loan (assuming 0 down), that’s a $37k loan. Once you drive off the lot, the truck is now worth $18k (40% depreciation). You will continue to be upside down on that loan for a long time.
3) A Chevy Avalanche does not have the towing/ hauling capabilities of a hemi powered Dodge, but is more reliable.
Q: Ford Truck vs Chevy Truck gettin a new truck? need advise?
I im going to sell my 87 chevy pickup becuase its to new and its nothin special. I was thinkin of geting an older truck thats easier to work(more simple) on and that would be my work truck, and it has to be a 3/4 ton pick up(i dont want anything new so dont tell me to get a new one). a 70s era Ford truck or a 70s era Chevy truck(or GMC). Which one is more dependible, tuffer, more powerful, towes more, can handle more abuse(towin/offroadin occasionally), I think the Ford pickup would be best because thier c6 transmissions i hear are really TUFF, their 360 is a strong motor, plus i always see fords on loggin shows(even in the 70s movies), I NEVER see a chevy or gmc. i feel chevys are more of a hot rod truck that cant do the stuff a ford can. PLEASE I need advise, anything would be helpful and much appriciated
A: If you want something different than your ‘87 that’s a GM product, it will have to be a ‘72 or older. GM produced the style you have from ‘73-’87 (‘91 if it’s a Blazer, Suburban or Crew Cab pickup) with mainly just cosmetic and emission equipment changes. I can tell you from experience that the GM trucks from that era handle and ride much better than Ford products until about 1984 or so. I have a ‘78 GMC k35 Crew Cab that I use to tow my 40 foot car trailer and my wife’s 32 foot horse trailer with. It has a built 454 (still the original block crank and rods) a 5 speed from a newer 1 ton and 4.10 gears. I’ve owned it since 1984 and wouldn’t trade it for anything. I’m not saying a Ford is a bad choice or that they can’t do the same job. I just prefer my GMC. My father in law had a ‘76 F-250 for a long time and it just didn’t handle like my GMC even after I completely rebuilt the front end. He drives GM trucks now but still has the old ford for his farm truck.
