That would depend on how well you backed up the engine mount. Looks good from here though I believe you will have quite a long reach to raise and lower it...
Well I'll get back in the back seat.. I'm not beholden to my 2001 GMC, most of the electronic stuff has failed long ago and I'm just waiting for the lights to burn out..:)
I've been in the back seat of this thread and you all have convinced me to keep my 2001 1500 as long as I can. I really don't need additional headaches...
The water pump impeller is a given, change it before you crank it up again and hopefully you don't destroy your motor..it gives you a baseline to work from...
Load test the battery, if it checks good then clean and tighten all terminals, if you still experience slow cranking it's possible the starter motor is dragging. They do fail and age is an issue..
You guys are right, it is just a trouble shooting procedure not a permanent fix. All it does is tell you that the tank isn't venting as designed.. I've not experienced an integrated system as op described..
I bought a carter last year and it's done a good job this summer and I think I may get a spare just in case..
Looks like you're in need of some new pulley belts as well... don't wait for it to break the engine will overheat quickly...
