To all;

Great to find this site, I just picked up a 2001 Monte SS with 47,000 miles. I like the way it rides.

I have noticed a couple of issues that others have had;

1 - clunk/chatter from ISS, I have ordered the lube kit and intend to apply some wheel bearing grease.

2 - Temp gauge not working in extremely cold weather, will replace temp sensor and thermostat.

Anyone have a Factory service manual for the 2001's for sale.

Thanks,
Louis

 

whats are your plans with the wheel bearing grease?

 

i used a grease call c101 it's a mercruiser marine item, it has worked great i have put more than 40k since lubed, before every 15k needed to lub.

I believe currenlty the procedure calls for use of white lithium grease. I recall in my search for the ISS problem some posts on other GM models that this has effected, some people have experienced longer life or less frequent lubrification by using a wheel bearing type grease.

 

Thanks,

I will look into trying to find.
