How do you bleed the brakes on a 2006 chevy
Fill the master cylinder with brake fluid before beginning. Jack the car up so that the two rear wheels are about six inches above the ground. Slide under the right rear wheel and look at the back of the brake system for a small bleed valve. A bleed valve is a hollow bolt. When loosened it will allow the brake fluid to flow out and result in the vehicle having no brakes Fit a rubber hose over the end of the bleed valve. Make sure it forms a tight seal and make sure the free end is below the level of fresh and clean brake fluid. As the brake fluid in the line pushes out of the system, you will see a bubble come from the end that is under fluid.Have a helper sit in the driver's seat and follow your instructions. Tell your helper to pump the brakes hard a few times. Open the bleeder valve and tell your helper to press the brake pedal firmly down to the floor and hold it there until you indicate otherwise. Close the bleeder valve and have your helper release the brake pedal. Repeat this process until you see a small bubble ejected from the tubing under the surface of the brake fluid in the jar. Once you have finished with this wheel, move to the left rear wheel. Before you begin the next wheel brake, refill the master cylinder reservoir. Get set up and repeat the same steps for this tire.The next two wheels you will bleed are the right front wheel and then the left front wheel. Bleed the wheels in the order of the longest brake line first and then working towards the shortest brake line. Refill the master cylinder reservoir before beginning each new wheel. Once the rear brakes are finished, lower the car and jack up the front of the car. Remember to road test the brakes and make sure they operate well
Can I convert my 2x4 2003 silverado to 4x4?
I can't imagine going to all that much work when buying a 4x4 would be easier and probably cheaper given the availability of 4x4 trucks.One thing you did not mention that came to mind was anti-lock brakes.As for the computer, a transmission with a transfer case may not work in a system without the transfer case. Not sure on that point.

Leaking power steering Pressure hose
You'll have to replace it to stop the leak. Make sure the new one looks the same before you remove the old one. Swap them out, fill up the fluid and run the vehicle. Turn the steering wheel all the way to both sides a few times to bleed the air out and it should be good. If the pump continues whining you can raise the front wheels off the ground and turn the wheels both ways again with the engine running and that will get rid of the air for sure. Don't forget to put a pan down to catch the oil it could get messy.
The engine light came on and when tested a code of
DTC P0449 - Evaporative Emission Control System Vent Valve/ Solenoid Circuit Malfunction
The most likely problem is the evap vent solenoid which is mounted
under the truck back by the fuel tank. The code is related to the
circuit to the solenoid. Most likely the solenoid is shorted or Open
which is causing the code to set. The other things to check if the
solenoid is not the problem is the wiring to the solenoid could be
corroded or broken or damaged. The last thing to suspect is the pcm
which is the computer that runs the system. It could have a faulty
driver inside, but I would suspect the solenoid or wiring first.
There
is a bulletin for the vent solenoids getting dirt or road debris inside
of them so when you go to get your solenoid, you may get a kit that
will require you to relocate the solenoid and add a section of heater
hose and a new inlet which you will need to mount around the passenger
side of the trans. This keeps road debris and dirt from getting into
the solenoid.
