Re: P0335 Slow Cranking When Hot

Yeah I would also check plugs or just replace them, 80k with that many idle hours they're probably shot.

The factory plugs are usually rated for 100k but that's a lot of idle time.

Plugs are cheap, and make a big difference.

Re: P0335 Slow Cranking When Hot

I know the system does take preference to charge one side first, but I'm not sure which one. I have a second battery wired in, I run a smaller motorcycle battery for cheap insurance for my 1000w and 300w amps. I have mine wired inline, but still separated by the circuit breakers. During the winter m...

Re: P0335 Slow Cranking When Hot

Common sense, but I would always start with battery/alternator load test, and grounds. There are several grounds in the engine bay to check. Also check underhood fuse box positive and ground (behind box and on its side nearest to firewall) for corrosion or loose bolts. Also, if you replaced the cran...

Re: Brake Speculation

Call technafit. When I called they knew exactly what I was talking about.

And it shipped with the Chev-4500 label on the bag. It would be nice if it was on their site, but it's also not a top seller.

I was pleased with the build quality and fit of mine.

Re: Best 6.0 gas tuner?

+1 on HPtuners, would recommend them. Plus not only can you tune yourself but you can turn in your stock tune file to a shop/website and they can tune it and send it back to you. Then you'd write it to the ECM/TCM. Plus I still think they still give you 8 credits, which is enough for 4 individual ve...

Re: 2013 Caprice 3.6l

Lights dimming and fluctuating in park?

I would definitely load test/check your battery and alternator first.

Re: 2014 Radio Volume

This is what I did, I used generic speaker grilles from Amazon and a 3 1/2" hole saw. Other people either buy the 11-12 door panels but they only work for 11-13, or they relocated the speaker to the bottom of the door. http://www.newcaprice.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=3291&p=26654#p2...

Re: Traction control button function

With all of that checked, I would still look at the programming. That sounds like the likely culprit to me. When I push and hold the performance mode button in my 13, it flashes performance mode first, then traction control/Stabilitrak off.the light stays illuminated on the dash and I can spin the r...
