#1266 of 1492 GMC sierra - 97 cruise controle/starter problems by gpretty Dec 04, 2005 (3:19 pm)
Replying to: mgdvhman (Dec 11, 2000 11:06 am) I have a 1997 GMC sierra 1500 with a 305 in it and the cruise control does not work at times. Does anybody have any remedies? Also, sometimes when it's cold, the starter does not engage the first time but does the second time. This rarely happens but does anyone have any suggestions to help with these problems?
#1267 of 1492 Steering Problem-'97 K1500 Sierra by mikec8 by shiftless Dec 04, 2005 (6:56 pm)
This may not cure your problem but it's worth a try. Bleeding the air from your power steering system is accomplished by turning the steering wheel lock to lock in both directions with a dwell of about 2 seconds at the lock position. My "mysterious" problem was cured one day when I had to turn my truck and trailer 180° in a very restricted space. This amounted to lock to lock steering about (30) times. I had performed the procedure previously with no success cycling about (2) or (3) times.   Ed
#1268 of 1492 98' Sierra Steering by gmc19 Dec 04, 2005 (6:57 pm)
Lately while driving my 1998 GMC sierra 1/2 ton, I have noticed a grab in the steering while turning. It seems to do it when turning both left and right. It does it at almost any speed, and is starting to get annoying. It seems to jerk the wheel out of your hands, and steering seems over responsive. Does this have something to do with the speed sensitive steering. All tires have the same PSI, and power steering fluid is in check. Any clues as to why it does this.

#1270 of 1492 Re: 4x4 problems [gregalpa] by bigsliv Dec 05, 2005 (12:09 pm)
Replying to: gregalpa (Nov 24, 2005 3:57 pm) I had the same problem occur yesterday with my 94 Sierra 1500 4x4 Suburban. I shifted into 4x and the light did not come on and driving in 10" of snow, is was obvious that it was not engaged... I tried both 4x High and low, to no avail.   Have you had any luck diagnosing your problem?   Anyone else have any suggestions or can someone recommend an appropriate troubleshooting guide or manual that would cover the 4x4 system? Thanks

Replying to: gregalpa (Nov 24, 2005 3:57 pm) Found these links helpful...   Circuit diagram: http://www.weberchevrolet.com/service/tech/wire1.gif   Troubleshooting guide: http://www.4x4posi-lok.ca/pdfs/troubleshootguide.pdf   Would check 25A 4x4 fuse first. If this ok, then would suspect TLA (Temperature Linear Actuator); threads into transfer case on passenger side.

Replying to: mikec8 (Dec 03, 2005 3:20 pm) Mike,   I had a 1997 Ext. Cab (GMC) 1500. I had the same problem you are having and they replaced something called an EVO sensor and it fixed the problem right away. The feeling it gives in the steering is very odd and it is almost like the steering skips. Ask about the EVO sensor/? and see if that can be done to your truck.

Replying to: gmc2004crew (Dec 07, 2005 10:40 am) For more info: EVO = 'Electronic Variable Orifice'. Have not determined its function or the degree of difficulty of its replacement.   -David
#1274 of 1492 Re: 2001 Sierra Brake Problem [joeob] by sierra4 Dec 10, 2005 (2:34 pm)
Replying to: joeob (Oct 29, 2005 6:27 am) Hi there. I am in the same situation as you were with your brakes on your GMC Sierra. Mine is a 1998 so is not included in the recall so we have taken it to a dealership and paid ourselves to have the maintenance described in the recall to it. It is still not working . Furthermore it has started to engage the antilock brakes when the gas pedal is still being depressed. Did you get your problem repaired? If so, was it done thru the recall or did you go to another technician? I am looking for anyone who may know what else I can do for my truck as nobody (3 mechanics) can figure it out. Thanks in advance Sherry

Just thought I would pass on the solution to a problem I was experiencing after some gasket work done on my engine. After trial and error of everthing from sensors to the computer and all parts in between. It was a faulty pickup in a brand new distributor. A defect from the factory that cost me 11 hours or mechanical trial and error. Goes to show you that even new they break down Thanks again from Canada.
