| I have a 2000 GMC Sierra 5.3L it has 71,000 miles on it and it idles ruff when i come to a stop light and sputters when i take off. I have no idea what the problem is and it is very frustrating!! any suggestions on what to do or what it is? | |
| Have you replaced the fuel filter lately? | |
| Last night while in cruise control the "service 4WD" message came on and the indicators lights on the select buttons all went out. Truck drove OK and stayed in 2WD but I could not change into Auto or 4WD. Let set overnight and it seemed to have "rebooted" and was fine this morning. Anyone else had this happen? Will have dealer check next time in. Also, still have clunking in drive train. Not sure if it is in the transmissin, drive shaft, rear end? My 01 did the same thing. Noise is more pronounce on light acceleration. Ideas? I saw the Sierras were supposed to be recalled with a brake problem. I called dealer and they didn't know anything about it. | |

I recently traded in my 01' GMC Sierra 1500 extended cab for a 05' GMC Sierra 2500HD crew cab with the 8.1 liter gas engine. Something I am finding annoying is the dash button that controls whether outside air is circulated in the cab or not does NOT remember it's setting from one start to another LIKE IT DID in my 01' Sierra. It always defaults to letting outside air in. This wouldn't normally be a problem unless you're behind a diesel cement truck or near a dead skunk first thing in the morning on the way to work which occurs on a daily basis. It's not until you realize this and the cab is full of diesel exhaust and you push the button to lock all that lovely exhaust in the cab. But seriously, this is really annoying. Why did they change this behavior? More importantly, how do I fix it so it remembers between starts OR how can I get it to default to closed (no outside air circulation). Thanks for any help, -Mark

That's the reason you may still have the same problem on an 04. With GM there must be no communications between dealer service and factory design people. When Toyota gets to 70% market share maybe they'll figure it out. There is no reason why GM and others can't do it better in the USA.
