Re: abs ecbm computer [prather]

Great work Prather for the mention here of that site. ;) http://www.absfixer.com/ Excellent site to learn and prevent dealer overcharges on a fix of the problematic ABS system we all have on our Rado's. I have yet to experience this issue and hope I never do but the source is now out there to use should it rear its ugly head. I did have to replace all four rotors on my 2000 2500 recently since they had self destructed (within 53k miles) do to the cheap source of metal company that makes them uses and GM buys from. The pads had plenty of life left on them but rotors were gone, and what a job to get them off ! :sick: Ray T. :P
abs ecbm computer

My abs and brake light alarms kept coming on and annoying us to death. It would dong about 30 times at any time. My abs worked fine even when it was doing this. The dealer told me that I needed a new ebcm computer which costs about 700.00 just for the part. I told them that my brakes worked fine, I tested them. Could it be any thing else, I asked. They said no. So I said fix it. Then they wanted me to pay up front because of the price of the part! I then asked if there was a way to test the computer. They said no. I went on line and found ABSfixer.com. I sent it to the guy in MO. He said there was no problem with it. He even put it on his truck for a week and it was fine. He sent it back to me with no charge. I had this problem early when I bought it new in 03. All four of my rotors warped while it was under warranty and they would not replace them. They turned however and then wanted me to pay half of it. I refused and heard from no one since. Overall I love the truck and it looks awesome. 2003 Z71 X-cab, hard teneau cover, nerf bars mello tone exhaust. Chevy's service however has been very dissappointing. I too have a clunk in the drive system shaft when it shifts into the lower gears and at stop and take off again. Especially on slow take off on a slight down slope. I was told by a mechanic friend that this was no big deal really. He said that the shaft is made with steel with an aluminium insert and it causes a little noise at times. He said his 00 model does it too but worse yet he pulls a 30 ft. trailor often. The next thing for me is to raise the front end. If you do need an abs computer go to absfixer.com and you can get yours refurbished for about 250.00 and install it yourself. Dealership ripoff!

I would contact a factory rep. and demand nothing but a new truck. This is serious damage to your truck and likely there are more defects. Collateral damage from this type of injury to a new truck is bad. The Lemon Law will allow you recourse for your demand of a new truck. Don't back down and you will get a new one. Good luck.
Hydrogen Fuel May Not Be So 'Clean'
by gagrice on Tue Jan 25 06:37:43 PST 2005
Extracting useful quantities of hydrogen from water requires a massive amount of energy — energy that typically comes from burning oil or coal.   You can also get hydrogen from methane but once again, it takes a "dirty" fuel to create a "clean" one.   Another possible problem: Scientists call hydrogen a "leaky gas" that easily escapes from any container you put it in, potentially harming the environment.   "It is not a neutral gas," Prather said. "It actually does interact in the atmosphere. And in some sense it needs a better evaluation."   http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,145166,00.html

I hope I make sense.I have a concusion and on painkillers.I'm seeing 2 of evrything. Was there a 4 lane hiway from Prather up to 6 mi from Shaver last time you were there?It's steep but I towed my 4000 boat up it with my tacoma,but omly once(lots of 2nd gear 20mph).A friend towed it with his dodge 1500 w/5.9 and stayed at40-55 all the way.My 8.1 pulls it as fast as you want to go,and pulls my 7000lb cabincruoser at 55 most of the way. How fast do you want to go? I've seen a lot of 1/2 ton trucks pulling campers like yours( and bigger)up the hill in the right lane,so really they will ALL do it Ford,Chevy, Dodge and even Tundra. I bought the 2500HD for the bigger brakes as much as the bigger engine.If you get a 1/2 ton pick the one you like the best and watch your sped DOWNHILL. Wishon and the hills above it is one of my favorite places for backpascking. kip
