Whats up guys, I have a question and I cant seem to find an answer. I drive a 2008 silverado with the infamous afm lc9 5.3. The engine seems to be f***** burnin oil, misfiring, fouling plugs and what not. I want to replace the engine. Question is my year model does not have vvt, it was introduced in 2010, does that mean I cant swap a 2010 engine even if its also an lc9 as mines. What if i swap out the ecm as well? Is the harness the same? What are the differences? Thank you for reading.

Alright guys. Got an embarrassing question. Cant figure out what ratio rear end I have on my 98 k1500. Rear end is shit and I found a complete low mileage g80 for cheap. Anyway. The truck doesnt have any rpo codes in the glove box and I cant find a tag or a stamp anywhere to save my life. Everytime I search my vin it comes up says it has a 342 to 373 max witch does me no good and makes no sense Trying to see if anyone can give me a more solid answer based off my vin. Maybe Im using the wrong site. Vin#2GCEK19RXW1150668 If anyone can help me out that would be awesome .

Hello, Thanks for adding me to the group. I have a question about my 2003 Hyundai Elantra sedan with 160k kms. The steering wheel shakes when driving down the road at any speed and worse at faster speeds. It also makes a knocking sound when the left side hits a bump. It has got a lot worse lately and needs fixing ASAP. I jacked it up and took a peek at all the bushings, ball joints and engine mounts. I found out that when I changed out my strut assembles a few months ago, I may have destroyed my front lower control arm rear bushings. And yes they were both partially torn on both sides. Also I found a torn rear engine mount. Now my question is, would partially torn control arm bushings cause a bad shake going down the road (Im thinking yes)? Also Im going to replace both of these control arms but wondering if the cheapest ones I found online will suffice? They are called Prime Choice. Or should I spend three times more moola and get some Moog ones at my local parts store? Thanks so much everyone.

I have question on my 98 stratus, my battery is fully charged but I get nothing when I turn the key. the dash lights dont work, the radio doesnt work. but my head lights and my brake lights work. it started up to a few days ago but wouldnt stay running. we put it on a scan tool. the only thing that showed up was p0420, but I wouldnt think that the cadiletic converter would be related to my issue. Im thinking it might be time to push my car off a cliff.

Ok now I have a question that has me stuck. We bought my 2004 ford explorer the AC blew but it was winter. So really didnt try for long enough. Well now its hotter than 2 whores in church, it blows nothing but hot. Went to auto zone bought AC pro and guy filled it, he said it didnt take to much of it and it was odd. So left waiting for it to get cold. It never did. So we have another parts truck AC worked in it we drove it to fla. So we changed compressors. Still not cold what else could it be? Heat works great sometime too good. Blows good and at all speed levels. We are stumped and are 100 miles from anyone who knows how or anything about it. Thats what I get for living in bfe! Any advice is better than none. No wise cracks as my cars aint left me on side of road! Helpful info only. I know alot about cars as to why I changed compressors! It didnt work! Also did a UV test on leaks.
