#1154 of 1492 Re: Low Fuel Light when I'm not low on fuel [roberts64] by tunajack62 Sep 18, 2005 (4:27 am)
Replying to: roberts64 (Sep 07, 2005 1:48 pm) I'm hearing alot of these complaints, and everyone is saying a fuel pump/sending unit replacement (about $350). I'll be checking the wiring at the pump, since I've noticed some replacement pumps come with new wiring harnesses. Mine's doing the same. I've also noticed sometimes it's hard to start cold. Watching a pressure guage, the pump doesn't always work when the key is turned on to the ignition position. I'll post if I find anything goofy with the wiring.

#1159 of 1492 planitary gears in transmission pan in 2000 z71 by carp2 Sep 19, 2005 (7:16 pm)
Has anyone had problems with there transmission, only to find out the panitary gears where all in the bottom of pan. I thought it was something in my brakes like a rock grinding on disc or something. never thought it was the tranny till i took to garage. I thought that they fixed there trans. problems in 1999. anyway $3500 later back up and running. Emailed gmc head office and told them what i thought. there taking it to board meeting to see if ill get something back.

Replying to: tunajack62 (Sep 18, 2005 4:27 am) I've had a few pumps go bad on me and it's usually in the winter and it ends up being a nasty job to drop the tank. The last two we did was pretty slick. Although some might not want to do it, the easiest thing is to cut an access panel in the floor of the bed. Last winter our plow truck went through two pumps and the second change out was a breeze - just unscrew the plate and eveything is right there. Most folks have bedliners so it isn't even visible.  Just thouht I throw that out there.  - Tim
#1161 of 1492 rpm surge by pdana Sep 21, 2005 (12:42 pm)
I have a 1998 GMC Sierra with a 4.3 v6 and manual transmission. When I push the clutch in when coming to a stop or while changing gears my rpm will either surge or stay where it was at while the truck was in gear, only coming down to a normal range when the truck comes to a complete stop. I recently replaced the IAC valve and it seemed to fix it for a little while and then I slowly started having the same problem again. It's also more noticeable when the a/c is on. Is there anything else I can check/replace, or do I possibly have another bad IAC valve? Thanks for the help. Replies to this message: weels (Sep 21, 2005 6:07 pm) pdana (Sep 21, 2005 7:26 pm)

Replying to: weels (Sep 21, 2005 6:07 pm) I think so. I looked at them and they looked ok. I also gave them a squirt of WD-40. I think I may have another bad IAC valve, because when I first replaced it the problem went away, but it slowly came back.
