2003 Duramax Brake Issues

Volume 1 Issue 2 - Duramax Issues and Answers

I own an 03 Duramax, and recently replaced the rear brake pads. Any tips on what tools to use to remove the top caliper bolt. The torx bit and the ratchet will not fit between the bolt head and the leaf spring. Also, I noticed the brake pads wear unevenly. This was typical all the way around. What is the cause?

   

Analog vs Digital OnStar System

Volume 1 Issue 2 - Duramax Issues and Answers

Do you know or can you find out any inside info on the pre-digital OnStar upgrades. I’ve been told Chevrolet/Verizon are presently trying to determine if it’s worth their time to come up with a solution. I’d love to use my OnStar with Verizon. I have an ‘02 DMax with the analog system. Any info would be great. Thanks.

Duramax LB7 transmission Warm Up issue

Volume 1 Issue 2 - Duramax Issues and Answers

I have a 2001 GMC LB7 Excab 4x4. What I have happen sometimes – when I start it up and put it in drive with no warm up time – it will not move. After a couple minutes I can put it in drive and no problems. Also with no warm up time, when I stop, it feels like it goes into neutral. When I step on the pedal and rev the engine, the transmission goes clunk and then it starts moving. No codes.
