Robby1870 Posted November 13, 2003 Report Share Posted November 13, 2003 most all 3100s do this, its completely normal, and I dont think anyone has reported any adverse side effects. Its just one of those quirks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob95CS Posted November 13, 2003 Report Share Posted November 13, 2003 Yep! The brakes on these cars suck. Use the search function. You'll find that a lot of people have the same problems as you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

godofthunder Posted November 14, 2003 Report Share Posted November 14, 2003 that knock your hearing...many people here argue on what this is. My dad, who worked for chevy, let me know what is up.  The two arguments are 1) Piston Slap and 2) Rockers  If it was Piston slap, it would happen all the time, not depending on temperature. I personally have never heard it, so I dont know if the sound is actually different.  As for rockers, which I am pretty sure is your problem (mine, and many other 3100s), it fades as the engine heats up (or the temp....the warmer it is, the shorter the time the noise persists).  Its nothing to worry about. You _could_ put in new rockers, but the sound would come back VERY shortly. Also, one of the guys that used to be here SaberZ (havent seen him in a while though), did different viscosities of Oil. He had a new Impalla, and it did the same thing.  Welcome here, and let us know what you need! Show us some pics to!  jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runt Posted November 14, 2003 Report Share Posted November 14, 2003 Just to beat a dead horse, my 3100 does it, my friends old Monte with a 3100 did it. My G/f's Ciera with the 3100 does it as well. I have also talked to quite a few people about it, and as godofthunder said, it doesn't really have an side effects besides being kind of annoying on a cold start!! Â Oh, and go for the L67...that'd be cool...or something...!! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joey b Posted November 14, 2003 Report Share Posted November 14, 2003 What makes you think that it is your brakes causing it to shake? You should check out your tierods and balljoints. You can expect those to go at about 100K, which is right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Our 3100's don't allow us to upgrade our CPU's. They do a flash to the CPU which is only performed by certain shops with a special tool. There is a post that I had a ways back that talked about this. Its just like you doing a flash bios on your home computer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
91cutty Posted November 15, 2003 Report Share Posted November 15, 2003 when my tranny first started acting up, i was gonna sell the cutty. someone came to look at the car, started it up and almost left right away after he heard the knock. He said the engine was wrecked! I said "listen to any other 3100 or 3.1, they all do that". He just looked at me funny and left! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sk8erbro Posted November 15, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2003 well it only shakes when i hit the brakes thats why.i put it in the air and its got no play side to side or up and down so im pretty sure its the calipers are thrashed or somthin cause when i put new pads and rotors on it its still had a little shake to it them it just slowly gets worse.i know its needs strut bearings as of now .
