#1476 of 1492 '98 Silverado Tranmission Problem by ltw12000 Sep 15, 2006 (5:28 am)
Has anybody ever had their transmission rebuilt and then have the truck keep shifting out of overdrive and act sluggish?

Replying to: ynotps (Sep 14, 2006 11:42 am) Your truck with the standard 3.42 gearing is rated for 7000lbs, with optional 3.73 gearing, 8000lbs.   I've got the 3.73 and regularly tow 6000lbs without any problems. A little slow on the uphills, but it doesn't seem to be too much of a strain at all. The 5.3 is a great engine.   Just be sure your trailer brakes are working. The real strain happens if you try stopping the 6000lbs without them.

Replying to: ynotps (Sep 14, 2006 11:42 am) I just bought a 2006 Crew Cab 4x4 1500 with the 4.8 motor and the manual lists my truck w/the 3.42 gears as being able to tow 6,700lbs. U-haul installed a class 3 hitch capable of 6,000lbs. Oh well, my boat only 2100 lbs so I'm not too worried.

Replying to: raiderken (Jul 15, 2006 7:28 am) If the tires have been changed or the axle ratio changed then the computer can be reprogrammed to correct for this. You need to know if the odometer is correct also when you go to get it reset.

Replying to: albird1 (Sep 10, 2006 7:59 pm) Sounds like it might be antilock brakes. It is located near that area.

Replying to: odqlesz (Sep 13, 2006 3:39 pm) my truck had the same problems it was the positive post had a loose inside the battery move the cable it would start. try another battery and clean the cables good at any rate i think your problem is in the battery or cables not getting good connection. I know you have already done this, but try it again might be suprized.                            bobby Replies to this message: wolfsroad68 (Sep 24, 2006 6:38 pm) brp1 (Sep 25, 2006 7:38 am)

Replying to: brp1 (Sep 24, 2006 11:00 am) My 98 3500 Sierra has he same problem. Initally, it was a bad positive battery terminal, but I think after some time that also affected the positive cable.   I replaced the battery, but the problem has persisted. I usually just have to adjust the cable a little and tighten it, then the truck starts ok for awhile. I will be replacing the cable when I have a little more time.   Manny Replies to this message: brp1 (Sep 25, 2006 7:38 am)
#1484 of 1492 I know this has been addressed already, but... by kiernan_2001 Sep 25, 2006 (6:41 am)
I have a 2003 GMC sierra that I love. I has 47000 miles on it and just recently started with the steering rattle. I took it in to get it aligned and that seemed to have made it worse. I had a 2000 silverado that developed the same problem and I took it to the shop many times. "It is just the way the truck drives... they all do that."   I have read all the strings on this board about replacing the intermediate steering shaft and would like to know if this still applies to 2003's. The only TSB that I have seen posted on this site is one from 2000. If I don't get this fixed, I may go crazy. Any info would be appreciated.

Replying to: wolfsroad68 (Sep 24, 2006 6:38 pm) had the problem with my cable, I just cleaned it real good and put a copper between the two cables with some good lub so it would stop getting corroded no problem in two years.   now I have a new problem with my 96 Sierra, any ideas before I have it towed.   the starter turns over fine, no run the fuel pump runs. getting fuel on the rail. pulled #1 done comp test 150lbs. put the plug on the #1 wire it's firing. put some gas in the intake still no run pulled the cap and rotor button looks good   tell me something good thanks
