#1334 of 1492 Re: Bad Brake Vibration @ 7,000 miles?????! [p100] by dale3n8 Feb 20, 2006 (7:21 am)
Replying to: p100 (Feb 16, 2006 6:51 pm) I on occasion use the car wash, put never use the wax feature, just the regular soap, then rinse. When washing at home, I have many times used ZipWax car wash, but I never would think that I could have gotten enough on the brake rotors to make a difference. As far as the tire rotation, I do the work myself and installed the newly rotated tires by hand with a torque wrench per the specs in the manual. I had read somewhere online that if a vehicle sits for a while, like mine had, and the rotors get the chance to rust, that when you use them again some of the rust on the rotor could transfer onto the pad and cause a pulsation? I never really had any problems like this in the past with other trucks......not with this few miles on them. I am concerned that it is a ABS issue, possibly rusty sensors or something?

Replying to: dale3n8 (Feb 20, 2006 7:21 am) If your dealer can't/won't fix the problem I would try another dealer. If you don't have any luck with that one then go for the manufacturers rep. What you are describing sounds to me like a problem with the ABS system. Either way it is a warranty issue and should be addressed by the dealer.

#1337 of 1492 Code 43 by code43 Feb 24, 2006 (4:33 am)
Hi, new member here! I have a 93 GMC sierra 1500. I just put a new crate engine in the beast and thought with new sensors that the SES light would go out! (That wasn't the only problem with the old engine-long story). I still get a code 43! That's the anti-knock sensor. It's a brand new one! Will it hurt the truck to run it with that going on? Will there be any long-term damage? The mechanic I who put the motor in seems to be avoiding me about this problem. any help would be appreciated.
#1338 of 1492 2006 Sierra Door Window Issues by gmc1500 Mar 02, 2006 (6:35 am)
My 2006 four door 1500 GMC is at the dealership due to the right side door windows not working. I'm told the problems maybe in the multiplex wiring.   When did GM begin using Multiplex wiring?   Has anyone else experienced this type of problem?
#1339 of 1492 2000 Sierra 5.3--No Power while accelerating by psmitty Mar 05, 2006 (5:19 am)
I have a 2000 GMC Sierra with the 5.3 engine--50,000 miles. Occasionally the truck will not accelerate. The engine rpm's will go to about 1800 and the truck will not accelerate past this point for a short period of time. There appears to be a backfiring type noise. I have replaced the fuel filter and the complete module in the fuel tank. The engine runs fine if you are in park--no hesitations through the entire rpm range. This problem only occurs with the transmission engaged. No codes are showing up in the computer. Any help will be appreciated.
#1340 of 1492 94 gmc sierra 1500 cutting out.... by duffman2000 Mar 05, 2006 (9:26 am)
I have a 1994 GMC sierra 1500 that cuts out when idling but once I give it gas it is fine. I have replaced the fuel filter and it hasn't helped. When it starts to cut out the brake light on the dash lights up, is this significant? Someone told me that it could possibly be something in my gas tank causing the problem, is that something I should get checked? I also changed the plugs and wires in case it was a faulty plug causing the problem. If anyone has an idea of what I should do next please let me know. Thanks!
#1341 of 1492 What to add homelink by kawijg Mar 06, 2006 (8:03 am)
Replying to: wegibson (Feb 14, 2006 10:54 am) I own a 2005 gmc sierra, i was interested in adding homelink to my truck, i am tired of looking for the remote. Can i just purchase the overhead consul that contains the homelink buttons and replace mine with it. Is it the same electrical hookup, or do things go much deeper then that. Any help would be appreciated
