Bob,
      You might be confusing the Owner's Manual with the Shop Manual. I bought the five volume Shop Manual when I bought my truck. In checking the Owner's Manual I couldn't find it there either. If you get hold of a S.M. it's in two places: Under "Maintenance and Lubrication", Page 0-39, and "Automatic Transmission - Allison", Page 7-676.
 You sound like a kindred spirit on maintenance. But I have to confess falling down on the job lately (time). Still, I seldom ever go 4K between oil changes. Thanks for the info.

BTY- In case you're interested, here's the source for the Shop Manual for your truck. You sound like a prime candidate. Worth every penny.

fuel filter by jlopez
Sep 30, 2005 (9:57 pm)
How do I replace the fuel filter in my 2001 GMC Sierra Z71 pickup with a 5.3 liter engine. I can't seem to find where the fuel filter is and I am wondering what tools I will need. The owner's manuel has not mention as to where the fuel filter is and how to change it.

the fuel filter is right under the drivers side door. it is tucked up inside the frame. all you need for tools is a 15mm or 17mm wrench i think its been a month or so since i changed mine. its easier to see if you look from the passenger side first under the door and look across to the drivers side. its in the frame. good luck

2002 GMC DuraMax w/ Allison by gmboy1

Problem:
When you put the truck in reverse while the car is running or not, the starter engages. Anyone aware of this problem or the solution? Maybe the neutral safety wiring the trans shift linkage? Any feedback would be helpful.

David,
would have no problem purchasing it, could you give me the actual part numbers from the manuals. The site you sent me to does not explain whether ic contains all the diesel and Allison information, or do I need both of these:
 
   2003 Chevrolet Silverado GMC Sierra and Denali Alternate Fuel Supplement
  Price: $30.00 In Stock
  (English, Paper, GMT03CK8AF)
  
   
Qty
   2003 Chevrolet Silverado GMC Sierra And Sierra Denali Service Manual
  Price: $135.00 In Stock
  (English, Paper, GMT03CK8PU)
  
                                            Thanks,
                                                      Bob

Thats a nasty little deal right there. I would check the wiring harness that comes up the steering column for a short between the two circuits or between the starter wire and the shift linkage. I've had vehicles in the past with tilt steering that would get a wiring problem. Usually they were high mileage vehicles that did that. I'm surprised to see an '02 with that problem. Hope this helps. If I had a manual I could tell you the color wires, but I ain't got one. Sorry.
 Good luck - let us know what it turns out to be OK?

Bob;
      The number on my book is, GMT/02-CK8PU-1 for a 2002 truck, looking very much like your second listing is the right choice. I don't think the Alternative Fuel Supplement has anything to do with diesel. My manuals have extensive material on diesel and Allison. Shipping took about a week to California. Good luck and let us know how it turns out.

I own a 2001 gmc sierra hd, and i have the same problem. The engine is running great, then suddenly stall. After 5 minutes it's start back. The engine light doesn't comes on.
 
Since you had quite the same problem, did you find a solution or the cause of this problem.
 
Thank you!

91 1500 brake control module by fishinggod
Oct 10, 2005 (7:29 am)
Can a "normal" person replace the brake control module on a 91 GMC Sierra? My Brake light stays on (about half as bright as when the parking brake is engaged)and the dealer service man says the Brake Control Module needs replacing. He says that eventually the ABS will not work when the module fails completely. He also tried to scare me and tell me that the brakes will fail when the module fails completely, but I didn't buy that story. Any thoughts? Thanks
