I need someone to help me with a vacuum problem

[slowchevy]

that too. who knows. it's outta my hands at this point. like i said, sick of trying this and that with no luck.

there was a sucking noise that wasn't induction noise, that's why i took it there. let them deal with it. don't feel like taking the shit apart again.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Dealers replace, they don't repair. Independent shops actually repair shit.

 

[slowchevy]

That's fine by me

 

[slowchevy]

like I said I'm just sick of dealing with the car I just wanted it to run right.. I have to pass emissions. Donezo.

 

[slowchevy]

so I do have to say.. after about an hour of seat time with the traverse, I really do like how it drives. I have to wonder what an enclave would be like to live with, because I do like how they drive as well. I know their sister cars just like the Grand Prix Impala type of deal. fuel economy couldn't be any worse than a 3800 car

 

[slowchevy]

Space would be nice too. Not having to disassemble bikes all the time

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

What

 

[Angus]

He's test driving a loaner car.

 

[slowchevy]

I have a loaner car while the GM dealership fixes mine

2013 traverse

 

[b4black]

You complain you have no money, but then take your car to the most expensive place to have it fixed.

 

[Mook]

The dealer? Wtf

 

[syP]

yea, fuck dealers.

 

[PANDA]

He just wanted a loaner car to "test drive"

The traverse is a nice car/van/crosover thing. I had one for 5k miles of honeymoon....

But taking your car to the dealer for a vacuum leak = Fail. If you had offered up $50 - $75 many members here would have fixed it, instead you give it to a dealer that is going to charge you a minimum of $130 just to diagnose the issue.

its probably something stupid simple too

 

[Yaj Yak]

its not a vacuum leak.

its not a vacuum leak.

I haven't really read any of his 6000 threads on it, is this from the LIM gasket job a while back?

f00ls probably used Garlock SC and TB gaskets and has 15 vac leaks.... Or he missed something on one of the easiest 3800 repair jobs. He must have been focusing his thoughts on his 30 minute 3800 motor pulling skillz.

he emptied an entire can or something like that of carb cleaner onto the entire top end of his engine... if there was any sort of vac leak he would have found it. for sure.

 

[SinisterSHO]

Unless he's that dumb?

Look man, I don't wanna be a dick because you've always been genuinely nice, so don't take it as me having a bad attitude but do you read threads? I said multiple times I'd come to someone and bring some payment for help. I hate even asking for help in the first place because I try to be self sufficient and I feel like it makes me stupid. In the last three pages, nothing was accomplished and I'd tried everything everyone said.. the car needs to be done, so I took it where I know it'll be taken care of.

Nope. Paper TB and SC gaskets.

 

[Yaj Yak]

the monte collecting rust at my dads currently doesn't even have any gaskets i don't think

 

[slowchevy]

ok.

 

[Yaj Yak]

you hit all that shit though with the carb cleaner right? like anywhere a vac leak could be... all your vac lines/mating surfaces etc etc etc?

 

[1quick]

He said he was pulling 19lbs vacuum I doubt there is a leak
