Replying to: jonnycanuk (Jul 05, 2006 10:57 am) Check the serpentine belt tensioner.... they do wear out over time. You can buy a cheap(>$5)stethoscope that works well tracking down noise sources like yours. Putting your ear next to a long crowbar or screwdriver also works, but not as good, and is a bit more dangerous. 8-)
#1450 of 1492 Serious shift problem by inkd Jul 09, 2006 (12:25 pm)
First off, thank you in advance for any help or insight you can provide. I have a 2000 sierra 2500 series that is not a hd with 140 000km. The problem that is occurring is when you first start the truck or restart it warm. Basically when you go to give it gas, the engine will not rev up much if at all and will not let you accelerate at all. It does not feel like the transmission is slipping, it just feels like their is a limiter in place however is goes back to normal as soon as it hits second. The only code error that has ever came up was an o2 sensor but happened at a totally different time.   Again any help would be appreciated. Replies to this message: psmitty (Aug 19, 2006 3:50 pm)
#1451 of 1492 2-3 shift solinoid by eklund1 Jul 09, 2006 (1:37 pm)
I have a problem with the transmission in my 1500 4x4 5.3L Z71 GMC. The code says its the 2-3 shift solenoid. Has anyone had problems with this before? Is this a common problem? The problem started after having the tranny flushed and the filter changed. The mechanic said he pulled the pan back off to make sure he didn't smash any wires, and everything looked good. I will change out the solenoid sometime this week. My truck acts like its stuck in third gear. Its real sluggish when I start driving until I get up in speed and it won't shift into overdrive. You can manuely shift it just fine. My truck only has 87000 miles on it.

I have a 2001 2500HD Dmax, when I start the truck in the morning the alternator takes 30 -45 seconds before its charging at 14 volts. You can see the battery voltmeter sitting 12 volts then the jump to 14. Never seen this before on my previous trucks. Any ideas?   Thanks

#1454 of 1492 Whining/Steam teapot noise by alexm234 Jul 14, 2006 (12:46 pm)
I have a 2005 Sierra 2500HD. It has been making this whistling teapot type noise comming from the engine area. You can only hear it when the vehicle is in any of the drive postions. If I put it in park neutral or reverse, they noise goes away. It also seems to get louder as it idles and the HD transmission gets hotter. Anyone have any solutions or idea of what it might be? Thanks.

#1457 of 1492 Looking at 2006 Sierra 1500 - New by pekknett Jul 17, 2006 (10:32 am)
Is this truck worth looking at, considering long term ownership? I have a 1997 Sierra 1500 and the repairs have gone through the roof!!!

Replying to: cgood1 (Jul 05, 2006 2:35 pm) I had a friend once that was told his tranny needed replaced and the problem was the catalic converter (sp) He didn't have any power and tranny was running hot.
