#954 of 1492 Re: 2004 GMC Sierra 4WD Z71 drive train 14K miles [surrfurtom] by bed Feb 18, 2005 (3:50 pm)
Replying to: surrfurtom (Feb 16, 2005 11:48 am) Thanks, I will suggest that to the dealer when I bring it in. Overall I have been happy with it. I looked at the Toyotas but felt I got much more truck for less money. And there was no comparison for space in the back of the cab between the two. My son in college has room to be comfortable back there. Good luck with your truck.
#955 of 1492 Heater core problem??? by vegasammo Feb 21, 2005 (11:09 am)
I have a 99' Sierra with 90K miles. The problem is after the engine warms up to an acceptable operating temperature, underneath the dash/glove box on the passenger side it sounds like boiling water when I accelerate?     It only does it when I accelerate from a slow rate of speed or from a dead stop? Has anyone ever heard of this type of problem? The temperature guage is reading normal? Could this be a heater core problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Replying to: surrfurtom (Feb 16, 2005 11:48 am) my service 4WD light comes on intermittently. My truck is a 99, problem seems to be the selector switch on dash. each position has a resistor that allows different voltage signal to transfer case module. Bad info from a chilton manual told me to change the front diff actuator. we'll see if they reply to my letter because I cant return a electrical item to the dealer so I installed it anyway. I agree, GM needs to fix the theory behind the application instead of each occurence. Replies to this message: surrfurtom (Feb 24, 2005 7:49 pm)

Replying to: cw4915 (Feb 22, 2005 7:39 pm) I'll have to look at my old records as that may have been the same fix as mine.   Common sense would say that GM, as the largest auto mfr in the world, would have a 1st rate quality control organization that would examine the root cause of failures and fix them.   Yet if you look at the poor reliability of many of their products in Consumer Reports, you can only shake your head in bewilderment. And its the same problems year after year.   There is only one reason that GM does not have the most reliable and highest quality car or truck in the world, and that is poor management.
#958 of 1492 Re: 2500 HD 4x4 Transfer case problem [rcuevas] by rawemm Feb 25, 2005 (11:45 am)
Replying to: rcuevas (Dec 20, 2004 6:09 pm) We have a 2002 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD Duramax Diesel and just got it back from the dealer for the same problem. It has 90,000 miles and we noticed a leak that we thought was coming from the rear diff. After inspection at the dealer they said that a pump in the transfer case had failed and wore a small hole in the transfer case housing. There is a small spring on one ear of the pump that broke and allowed the pump to wear a hole in the housing. Sounds like a bad design to me. The dealer said that it had probably lost all the fluid within the first 5 miles that we drove it and caused all the bearings to freeze up on the shafts and had to replace the entire transfer case. To make matters worse, we had to wait 4 weeks for the transfer case because they are on national backorder and the manufacturer is having to find cores and rebuild them. We think that there is a huge problem with these transfer cases and GM is not letting anyone know. We would like to hear from anyone who has had this same problem. If we can get enough proof maybe some of us can get some reimbursement.

Replying to: tvrc18 (May 12, 2001 8:46 pm) I know this is a reply to a very old question, but I've just bought a '99 Sierra and found the same clunk, thud or squawk (whatever you want to call it) coming from the rear end when I come to a complete stop and then again when I take my foot off the brake and start to accelerate. Did you ever find a solution to this? Thanks in advance. Replies to this message: iltski (Jul 08, 2005 11:43 pm) gmctruck (Jul 10, 2005 6:45 pm)
#960 of 1492 Heat control will not turn down or off by darbo Mar 06, 2005 (6:42 pm)
Temp controler will turn heat up or on but will not lower the temp or turn off. It will sometimes reset to the cold or off position after the ignition is turned off then engine restarted. Any ideas what the culprit might be? Control switch, electrical or maybe control motor? Any help appreciated. 2001 Gmc Sierra
#961 of 1492 ABS Engages at low speed-97 Z71 4WD by mikec8 Mar 13, 2005 (6:13 pm)
97 Z71, 4WD....Just before I stop, the front ABS makes a roaring sound, the pedal gets hard and kind of feels jerky. The truck doesn't feel like it will stop in time. If I press hard or quickly pump, I can get it to stop. It's intermittent and scary. Is this a simple fix like cleaning something or am I in for major work?

#962 of 1492 Any body having electical problems? by 2theedge Mar 15, 2005 (7:17 pm)
I just bought a 2005 gmc sierra with the 5.3 l. It was a 4 door, 1500. Today, it caught on fire and burned almost completely up. The fire marshall seemed to think that it was caused by an electrical short somewhere in the dash. What would you do and has anyone else had a similar problem.

#963 of 1492 2000 GMC Sierra 1500 5.3 V8 Head Gasket Failure by recon Mar 15, 2005 (10:43 pm)
I have a 2000 GMC Sierra 1500 with the 5.3 liter V8 and 39,000 miles on it. Found out last week that the head gasket on the passenger side of the motor has failed. I was wondering if any other Sierra owners have had a similar problem?
