    P0449 evap code

    2008 NA Been chasing a P0449 code for a few months. Car runs fine except for the check engine light. Have changed both valves on either end. New gas cap and fuse is good. I do not have a smoke machine and I am guessing the issue must be between the valves. What’s the next step? Sent...

    2003 GTP P 0300 multiple misfire code

    This code started popping up lately when accelerating from 30 mph and above when you push it and get into boost. CEL will flash if you stay on it and sometimes set and then clear itself after a few starts. When you do go into boost it pegs to full boost (on dash, but does not feel like full...

    Thoughts on 2012 dexcool in a 5.3l suburban

    It's about time to change the coolant in my suburban. Typically I would flush out the dex and refill with green. They seem to have the plumbing more messed up on the new ones and I'm not sure I can get all the dex out with 1 shot. It only has 45K. So I could just drain and refresh with dex...
