Chevrolet Silverado

I was conducting diagnostic and repairs on a 2007 Chevrolet Silverado ZR1 6.0 Y pickup truck. One of my family members was complaining of a cylinder misfire on cylinders 1 and 6. My family member had already replaced plugs, wires, fuel injectors and coils associated with the cylinder and the cylinder misfire persisted. Once I was informed of this information I was instantly concerned of some form of internal engine failure. I will cover the series of events that happened during this repair to this 2007 Chevrolet Silverado. I took on the repair even though I was inadequately prepared for the task. I lacked the proper diagnostic tools and knowledge to properly diagnose the problem that was troubling the vehicle. I needed compression gauges, cylinder leaked down tester, digital multimeter (DMM), valve train compression tools, micrometers, and feeler gauges just to name a few tools. Once I began conducting diagnosis of the vehicle I realized I would need some of these tools early on. First I began to rule out common issues to the cylinder misfires on cylinder 1 and 6. I began with a visual inspection of spark plugs and testing injectors and coils with a DMM and NOID light tester. Once I confirmed the issue was not being caused by fuel or ignition then came the trouble…

order and delivers it to the service garage that need the part. The hub uses to be an old auto part store before Walser bought it and was the best place I ever worked at. The Hub is located in South St Paul, right next to Inver Grove Heights and Newport. When you pull up into the parking lot and enter the building, you walk into this ginormous warehouse. Directly to your right there were tons of shelves full of parts. Wheel bearings, brake pads, pistons, wheel rotors they had it all. The shelves…

Chevrolet began its inception in the automobile industry in 1911 with the goal of competing with Ford’s Model T. Because of some differences among the Chevrolet company owners, Louis Chevrolet eventually left the company; however, the name endured. Chevrolet was purchased by GM Motors in 1918 (Ferrell & Hartline, 2014). The initial goal to compete with the Model T came to fruition in 1915 when Chevrolet sold its first vehicle for $490.00, which was the same price as Ford’s Model T. The diverse…

only. In 2004, Dodge replaced the larger V-8 with a 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 and paired this engine with a 5-speed automatic transmission. Dodge also introduce an 8.0-liter, V-10 engine and paired it with a 6-speed manual transmission or a 4-speed automatic transmission. Dodge also began to replace the 5-speed manual with a 6-speed manual elsewhere and upgraded the 4-speed automatic to a 5-speed. Latter third-generation models also rolled out new and increasingly sophisticated technologies,…

I have always thought the square body Chevy was the best truck because it didn’t really have a challenge with the Ford F150 or Ford F100. The roundness of the Ford trucks don’t really appeal to me. The Ford F-150 is an advanced truck. It uses Aluminum body panels instead of steel and paired with its base engine it should leave the traditional Chevy Silverado 1500 in the dust, yet it doesn't. When it comes to the arrangement and features provided for the interior of the vehicle, it is definitely…

Corporation had, while the latter was an accumulation of lucrative assets. Barely four years (and close to $25 billion in profits) after accepting government money, General Motors is in hot water once again; facing a criminal indictment (that stemmed from actions taken more than a decade prior). This something I have written quite a bit about, and I can honestly say it is the most overtly immoral move I have ever seen a company make. In 2002, a supplier denounces the proposed ignition switches…
