#1285 of 1492 Re: '05 2500HD 4wd Transmission problem [ken34] by willl3 Dec 20, 2005 (7:22 am)
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

#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--!

#1292 of 1492 loss of power check enfine light on by cajunlady Dec 26, 2005 (4:12 pm)
while driving the engine light will come on, the message across the "dummy center" reads, engine power low. There is no acceleration, hardly no brakes, and the engine revs up to 15-1600 rpms and stays there, no rough idle, no low volts.    Funny thing is you can shut the truck off for about 10-15 minutes, restart and it runs fine, talk about felt like a fool after a 75 dollar tow bill and a mechanic looking at me funny and saying there are no codes for anything.    Mechanics suggestion was to clean the throttle body which I myself did, it ran fine until today.    anyone had the same problem?
#1293 of 1492 1993 Sierra 1500 "No Fire" Please Help by bear11 Dec 26, 2005 (9:24 pm)
I was driving two days ago and truck just died right in its tracts. It would turn over but wouldn't start. I immediately assumed Fuel Pump. I checked the pump and its running. I replaced the fuel filter and thought that would fix it but it didn't. Still just turns over and no start.   Next I changed the coil out and no change. I looked at the rotor and the distributor cap and they look fine. I have pulled two spark plugs and neither one show that they are getting any fire. I am really stumped here as to what to look at next. Any suggestions? Thanks Replies to this message: geo9 (Dec 27, 2005 10:58 am)

Replying to: bear11 (Dec 26, 2005 9:24 pm) Bear.......i assume you have a distributor correct? You have no spark correct since you changed the coil (in cap or seperate) also...........   Heres my bet..........   Inside the dist. there will be a "ignition module" It is sorta square flat plastic piece with bent ends and 4? plugs on it. They have a habit of failing. Cost about $20 bucks. If they go you will have NO spark also.   Have a look inside your dist. Or call your local parts store to see if your year has one..........
