#1425 of 1492 Michelin Tires by shiftless May 20, 2006 (3:58 pm)
Has anyone on this board had any experience with P265-75R-16 Michelin Cross Terrain SUV tires on a SIERRA 1500 Pick-up?   Ed Replies to this message: obyone (May 22, 2006 12:05 am)
#1426 of 1492 Re: Extended cranking on a 2001 Sierra w/8.1L [kcram] by cezanne May 21, 2006 (10:50 am)
Replying to: kcram (May 18, 2006 5:00 pm) Guess what? We were both wrong. I took the truck to my GMC dealer and they found that the fuel pump was bad. $800 (of course they had to drop the tank) later, it starts fine. Good thing I only threw $25 worth of parts at it! Interesting note tho, the service writer told me that since gas prices have gone up he's had several fuel pumps fail. Think it's the ethanol they're extending the gas with? Thanks for the help anyhow, definetly a learning experience! Replies to this message: geo9 (May 21, 2006 4:25 pm)

Replying to: cezanne (May 21, 2006 10:50 am) NOPE.....Its just another QUALITY made 3rd world part!   Funny thing is nowadays the dealer just replaces the entire pump assembly as a unit for $800 or so. (It cost me $900 at my local Cadillac dealer a few years back!)   You used to be able to replace just the pump assembly for less than $100...............

Replying to: shiftless (May 20, 2006 3:58 pm) Had both the Michelin LTX M/S and the Cross Terrains SUV. Both are great tires with the mileage rating a little higher on the Cross Terrains and thus a little higher price tag. I ran the P265-70/R16.

Thanks for your response obyone. I'll need replacement tires in a couple of months so I am trying to make the right decision now. Have you any opinions about the Goodyear Fortera Silent Armor 265/75R/16? Tire Rack has them listed very high. My primary concern is a smooth, quiet ride. I live in New Hampshire - but I think the 4WD will solve any Winter traction problems.   Ed Replies to this message: obyone (May 26, 2006 3:56 am) bigfur (May 27, 2006 6:42 am) gmctruck (Jul 03, 2006 7:53 pm)
#1430 of 1492 Power windows fail when hot outside by titojermaine May 23, 2006 (5:21 pm)
The vehicle is a 1998 GMC Sierra. This problem developed last summer and has started back now that it's warming up. Whenever the temperature is in the high 70s or above outside, the power windows will not go down (I would assume they don't go up either, but they're always up when I've got in and tried). There is no hum like a motor trying to operate or anything. I tried the switches on both the driver and passenger side and none of the switches will cause the windows to go down. After the temperature goes down outside, the windows work fine again. I haven't had any trouble out of them otherwise, so I wouldn't think it would be the switch being dirty. I'm wondering what components would be affected to the point of failure at around 80 degrees outside. I think there was a fusable link put on the power windows a couple of years ago due to a recall (it's questionable whether the dealership actually did the work). It seems like that might be related, but wouldn't a fusable link fail completely if overheated and not start working again when it cools down outside. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Replying to: shiftless (May 22, 2006 5:22 pm) Not sure on the Goodyears but if your concern is a smooth, quiet ride I can assure you the Michelins fit the bill. Replies to this message: bigfur (May 27, 2006 6:42 am)

Replying to: obyone (May 26, 2006 3:56 am) Birdgestone Dualer A/T revo. Have them on my 01 'rado and love them. Quiet but still have plenty of grip in the snow here in minnesota. Also should note that my tires are 285, no lift kit and they still fit, barely. Brother in law has over 50K miles on his and they are only at about half tread life gone.
#1433 of 1492 noise in drivers side dashboard by scolburn Jun 04, 2006 (6:43 am)
The vehicle is 2003 gmc sierra...I have this squeaking noise that seems to be coming from behind the gauges. Took front and bottom part of the dash apart and I still am unable to fix this....any ideas?

Replying to: titojermaine (May 23, 2006 5:21 pm) sounds like typical gm power window motors. I'm on my third motor in wife's pontiac grand prix. the contact/brushes wear and the motor can stop in spot with a gap. no much to do but change out the motor. i found a cheap source for motors, http://www.powerupauto.com. Good luck. If you call, the guy can answer a lot of questions.
