#21 of 1492 steering vib by ryanbab Dec 27, 2000 (10:25 am)
I too have this feel. I heard from another board the intermediate steering shaft needs to be replaced. There is a TSB and i am verifying the number as we speak.   I am going to have my truck more than likely looked at next wk when i get my new tires (285's) to have the computer upgraded and the tailgate fixed.   Ryan

Each time I bring my z71 in for a problem they say the computer needs an update program. Then they tell me it is fixed but I still have the problems. (hard shift from 2-3, grinding noise when locking torque converter locks in, .....)   I heard from a friend that MC does not pay much to the techs for warranty work, so they do not want to spend much time on trying to fix any problem.

I think they went over and above working on my truck both times it was in for warrenty work. They explained fully to me what they were doing. I wouldnt leave the service area i stayed right by and watched what they were doing each time.   Shoot i cant even complain this past time you are supposed to be at the service place at 7:30am well i didnt go till about 8:30am because i was only going to get it checked out not actually worked on. They were packed and still took me.   I would say find another dealer to have work on it   Ryan

#25 of 1492 gmc96 by gmc96 Dec 28, 2000 (3:07 pm)
I have a 96 gmc 1500 sle. I have had to replace the oxygen sensors after 45,000 miles. Also a shift solenoid in the transmission went out around 48,000 miles. Truck is very nice and gets great gas mileage-18 city and 23 highway. It has 4.3 liter V6 with 4L60E tranny. 3.08 gear ratio. I hope it last for at least 130,000 miles. The new ones are over priced for what they are offer.I do all the mechanic work my self. I don't trust the dealers service departments. Those guys are always in a hurry and don't take their time with the trucks.
#26 of 1492 Engine tapping by smurf3 Dec 31, 2000 (5:42 am)
I read Kurfe's message about engine tapping, and a friend of mine(in Ontario, Canada) has same problem on the 5.3 ltr in the silverado model. He has been to the dealer many times and they say that this is normal...I don't think so. He thinks it is a problem with the valves needing to be re-seated, any comments???   Brian Replies to this message: tchampeaux (Nov 26, 2005 7:19 am) noobie1 (Nov 30, 2005 9:32 am) tubby (Jun 06, 2006 12:10 pm)

I had kinda a tapping noise or you can say ticking. I took it in a few months ago they checked it over for about an hr and a half i watched the whole thing. The noise was determined to be coming from the intake. He described it as an echo that is not affecting the engine in anyway. After i switched to mobil 1 the noise (i call it noise) has for the most part subsided.   Ryan   2000 5.3 Silverado

Was your tapping at idle, with the engine warm, or upon acceleration?   Roger, 2000 5.3 Silverado
#29 of 1492 Windshield Washer Fluid Level Alert by rtlemoine Jan 02, 2001 (1:37 pm)
I have a 2000 GMC Sierra 5.3L cab pickup. My problem is every day I crank up the truck and use it. Low windshield washer fluid message comes on in the message center on the dash. I've checked the fluid level and made sure it was full. Does anybody know What's wrong or how to clear or fix the alarm. Thanks! this is very annoying.........

Bad sensor. Have the dealer change it out.
