#1281 of 1492 00 gmc starting problems by worm007 Dec 16, 2005 (5:58 pm)
I own a 2000 GMC sierra 1500 and the only problems I have ever had with it were the ABS recall and the tailgate latch. Today I went to start the truck and no dice. All dash lights came on. Tried a jump, checked small fuses, cleared the codes from the passlock system(turn key to on position and let sit for 10-15minutes) still didn't start. Had to be a starter problem. Before you have it towed like I did and get a call 5 minutes later with the problem, take this easy advice...UNDER THE HOOD IN THE FUSE BLOCK, PULL THE SQUARE STARTER RELAY AND SWITCH IT WITH THE WINDOW DEFROSTER RELAY, THIS WILL LET YOU KNOW IF ITS AS SIMPLE AS THE STARTER RELAY BEING BAD.

Replying to: nofearmx (Nov 17, 2005 1:20 pm) I'll almost guarantee you that your problem with your duramax not starting is your injectors. GM knows that the injectors fail and have extended the warranty to 300,000km.(aprox 180,000 miles) Mine needed to be replaced after 40,000 miles. The injectors start to leak fuel and the pressure will not build high enough for cold starts. Replies to this message: wegibson (Feb 14, 2006 10:54 am) kawijg (Mar 06, 2006 8:03 am)

Replying to: gregalpa (Nov 24, 2005 3:57 pm) more than likely it is your actuator threaded into the front differential. Check for power at the plug first. There is a change up available that uses an electic motor to engage the hubs instead of the heat actuator. This new system is faster and alot less troublesome.

Replying to: ken34 (Nov 10, 2005 6:16 am) Ken,    Have 2005 -3500 auto, same problem..It made this noise (gear) & was checked out before leaving lot. Said they had to reset computer? Still makes this whine & hangs a little in firstgear. Also sound like popcorn popping behind dash...this noise is not always there. I didn't think the 2 problems were connected, but maybe...I'll be taking it in after Christmas. Will update-Bill
#1286 of 1492 Re: Radio malfunctions [mclemon] by gmcdriver3 Dec 23, 2005 (9:11 pm)
Replying to: mclemon (Nov 09, 2005 5:21 pm) I own two 2004 Sierras. A crew cab and a regular cab. The regular cab has the AM/FM/Cassette/CD and is having a similar problem. But, I am 3 radios ahead of you. That's right. Today, the local GMC dealership installed the 4th radio within the past 4 months. Guess what! Within a couple hours of leaving the dealership, it lost channel memory too! Every radio has had the same problem It loses the memory postion of the stations. Actually, it don't lose them all. Some of them just skip to the next button position. Others are gone completely. AM and both FM categories. I honestly don't know what to do now. This is getting ridiculous. I thought it might be losing the ground, as the compass and thermometer would occassionally go blank. As well, the electronic transfer case lights would go out and the message would read "service 4 wheel drive". But, they also replaced the transfer switch, and the new one does it too. Since the clock does not reset when the radio loses its memory, I have convinced myself that it is not a power or a ground problem. I believe it is either the computer or a software problem. I would appreciate hearing from anyone who has had this problem, and any possible solutions. Thanks.
#1287 of 1492 GMC Sierra Rear Window Latch by kidcamaro69 Dec 24, 2005 (11:21 am)
I've got a 99 GMC Sierra Ext. Cab and my rear window latch came off of the window. The whole black plastic piece to keep it closed just fell off glass. I tried some of that rearview mirror adhesive and that didn't work at all. Any idea's on what to use? Dealer wants $300 to put a new window in.   Thanks Brett
#1288 of 1492 TRY A AUTO GLASS INSTALLER/DEALER SHOP by geo9 Dec 24, 2005 (7:58 pm)

#1289 of 1492 Starting Problem by fallsalot Dec 25, 2005 (2:33 pm)
Help! I hope someone out there in GMC Sierra land has a solution. When my "97" 1500 sits for more than 8 hours I have a heck of a problem getting it to start. I turn the ignition switch on for about 2 seconds at a time for about 20 times before it will even attempt to ignite. Then it will take about another 20 tries before it will actually start. After it starts it will run fine. I brought it to the dealer a month ago and they said it was a loose engine ground strap. $150.00 for that B/S.

Replying to: fallsalot (Dec 25, 2005 2:33 pm) I can't answer your problem but, is it just me, or have GMC dealers forgotten how to actually troubleshoot so they just guess. Then, we get to pay for their wrong guesses. Whatever happened to good mechanics that understood the mechanical theory and design of a vehicle so they could actually think through from symptom to fix. Mr. Goodwrench my a--!
