Chevy engine miss.Help please. Its fixed!!!!

[timberghost72]

I sent my brother out to check his radiator fluid in his mid 70's VW bug... 

Meanie..I had a guy hunting for muffler bearings for about a half hour at a parts house once...It was worth the wait and his boss almost pissed his pants when the kid finally admitted defeat.

you all are mean... mean I tell you.....

I had a young lady at work that lost all her oil out the top end because she lost her cap, when I drove her to the parts store I asked for a 710 cap. She or the young guy behind the counter got it (write it down  710 then turn the paper over)

Its funny the jokes we techs do to people.  5 years ago this could have been used as a joke but now its real. Diesel exhaust fluid.  Who would have thought there would be a day where one would have to fill up a tank with diesel exhaust fluid. For those who haven't heard about this Ford and I think Chevy now require this in their vehicles. Ford has a 5 gallon tank that takes a urea based fluid used for reducing NOx in exhaust emissions. That 5 gallons lasts for approx. 100 miles. So now you have to fill 2 tanks. And when on a long trip you have to carry extra.

The Diesel Exhaust Fluid will be in all 2011 medium/heavy duty Dodge trucks but will only need to be topped off at every oil change interval. It is a 5 gallon tank I believe. We will be including it with the oil changes on those trucks. You might want to recheck your stats. I think you'll find it lasts a lot longer than 100 miles. I just finished the Dodge training on it.
Maybe Chev and Ford are different, who knows.

Arvan says diesel exhaust fluid refill intervals will vary depending on duty cycle. Some customers will only have to refill during routing maintenance, such as when the oil is changed, while others will have to top off the tank sooner. “If they’re towing frequently, they’ll [likely] have to fill up with DEF again sooner,” Arvan said.

To ensure that the exhaust fluid tank is refilled, Duramax-equipped trucks will warn the driver when the fluid is down to a 1,000-mile range. A series of start-up warnings -- including lights, chimes and messages -- will become more frequent until the tank is empty. If the driver continues to operate the truck with a dry tank, after a final warning and restart the truck will only operate in a “limp-home” mode that limits speed to just 5 mph until the tank is refilled.

SO retarded, emission requirements have killed diesel power and efficiency over the last couple years but I'm sure there must be some good reason to cut their mileage by 1/3 and add a secondary substance to have to pour into the frikking thing....
