I’ll bet they are aftermarket. Replace them with GM ones and I almost guarantee it will be fixed.

ABS issue sounds like classic wheel bearing failure.

Pull an easy GP out and see what they are. Your just getting bad GP codes no other codes?

It's a simple resistance test to see if the GPs are bad. After you remove the terminal just test the resistance from the where the terminal connected to the block. I don't recall the maximum, but if they are bad they read like 70+.

Well. Pretty sure all the glow plugs are bad. They’re all bouncing around like crazy. Off to get 8 new ones. My wheel bearings didn’t have any play. Ball joints are good. Needs tie rods bad.

The the GPs should give a fairly stable reading make sure your probes have a good connection.

What brand are the glow plugs? Maybe somebody at the dealer forgot to change them. Its pretty rare for a dealer glow plug to be bad if it was replaced especially eight of them. If you don’t need them ASAP you can usually find them online for 16 bucks apiece for Beru which are factory.

It was a used car dealer. They had been changed but definitely not GM ones. Look like ebay specials (no writing on them) Got 8 AC delco from Autozone for $17.99 a piece and had a coupon.

Bout halfway there. Still need the badge and molding off. And haven’t touched the other side except flares. Anyone want some white 03-07 flares? Shoot me an offer.

Zach did your package arrive yet?
And btw what’s the best way to buff out the fading from the 4x4 sticker
I can still see them on my truck in the right light/angle and it drives me nuts!!!
My truck is Maroon though so that doesn’t help

CarolinaHD I really want to sell them as a set. I don’t know what they’re worth yet. If I don’t sell them as a set I’ll be stuck with two back to find someone to want.

Hambone I’m not sure. Novak is pretty great at the detailing game. I’m gonna use an eraser wheel on mine. And monitbhasnt arrived. Probably will early in the week.

Have you tried to buff it? Your probably out of luck if you have. The paint is what fades on Maroon just like Red paint.
