In winter good to carry blankets or sleeping bag if you are fairly remote in cold country. On-Star and GM travel card. Gets you towed to nearest Chev. dealersip at no cost if worse comes to worse. mdubsflexin 12-09-2007, 08:37 PM code reader. x 2 on the code reader you could pick one up for around 70 bucks from any auto parts store sodfarmer 12-09-2007, 08:48 PM What code reader should i pic up? autozone carry one? the one I got from Napa is a code scout. ~$70. The other one I am interested in is the Scangauge. It not only reads codes it plugs into the data port and can give accurate coolant temps as well as corrected and programable fuel mileage. Good luck dieselbadgie 12-09-2007, 08:55 PM Bring a tow truck along! bellyup039 12-19-2007, 07:00 AM My LLY never leaves my driveway without a spare fuel filter and all the tools to change it on the side of the road. ONE time was all it took for me. Chug Chug chug. Pull over, change filter and right back to zoom zoom. :) Don't forget Fuel additive. You never know what your getting for fuel on the road. Try to fill up at truck stops. They sell more fuel and chances are it wont have water in it. jimburr 12-19-2007, 07:26 AM I carry an extra fuel filter with a water seperator already screwed in to it. no since standing in the cold any longer then you have to! bellyup039 12-19-2007, 07:33 AM I carry an extra fuel filter with a water seperator already screwed in to it. no since standing in the cold any longer then you have to! Great Idea! thanks. :) CHEVYJEFF 12-19-2007, 08:42 AM 2X on the fuel filter, fuel additive and tools, add to that a test light w/ a super sharp point to double as an ice pick in case of injector connection failure CobraCDN 12-19-2007, 09:10 AM One thing not mentioned yet, I printed out all the Code Defs and I keep them in a folder behind the rear seat. Cheers Dmax Tim 12-19-2007, 09:12 AM Aaa 66flh 12-19-2007, 09:20 AM If you got a locker,take a FULL size spare.It's much easier than swapping a front tire to the rear! twa72 01-01-2008, 04:01 PM Where did you find all the code defs? Could you share the link so we all could print out that is a real good idea rutafox 01-01-2008, 04:42 PM Just take a good looken woman with you and don't worry about it.:D | ||
