#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?

Replying to: 2theedge (Mar 15, 2005 7:17 pm) Call GMC customer service and file a complaint. They will perform their own inspection and if they determine the "thermal event" was due to a defect, GM will repurchase the vehicle from you. I went through this process over a year ago for a different GM model.

Replying to: cornellpinoy (Mar 17, 2005 2:10 am) I did and so far no response back. What if they determine otherwise. I mean I know how they try to get out of trying to help out the little man. I have my insurance company involved for the rental. What happened in your case.

Replying to: 2theedge (Mar 17, 2005 4:27 pm) One of the trucks in my company's fleet caught on fire last year. I was actually surprised with how it all turned out. Like you, I was expecting them to deny my claim.   It was not a fast process. In summary, after I had called in my complaint to GM, I had to have it moved to a dealer. An inspector for GM came out to inspect it. They decided to repurchase it. Filled out the paperwork and got a check.   Again, this was not a fast process. If I remember correctly it took over a month and there were a lot of phone calls involved. Each step of the way I had to speak with a different person and different department within GM. Another colleague of mine had a similar experience with a Ford.   I did have to wait a few days before getting the initial call back. They should have given you a reference or claim number. I had to call about once a week for a status update.   You may want to ask your insurance adjuster if they have any advice or tips for you. Good luck and let us know how it all turns out.

#967 of 1492 97 z/71 anti-lock brake problem by carl442 Mar 20, 2005 (2:19 pm)
saw mssg. 961 and was wondering if anyone knows why abs kicks in at low speed on dry road and what the fix might be.                        thanx carl442 Replies to this message: kcram (Mar 20, 2005 2:32 pm)

Replying to: carl442 (Mar 20, 2005 2:19 pm) ABS responds to pedal pressure and the impending lockup of a brake. If you're hard on the whoa pedal in an empty pickup, you can invoke ABS at almost any speed - the unloaded rear end of an empty bed will get to near-lockup much sooner than a balalnced or loaded rear end.   kcram Host - Wagons

Contaminated ABS front wheel sensors will also cause the ABS system to activate at low speeds (just prior to a stop). Replies to this message: mikec8 (Mar 24, 2005 4:09 pm) gmdrvr (Mar 26, 2005 2:25 pm)
#970 of 1492 Door problems by ron15 Mar 24, 2005 (3:42 am)
My 98 Sierra driver side door seems to be out of adjustment. When I open the door it rubs on the door post. It's actually worn the post flat on the top. I tried moving the post, but when I loosened it, it wouldn't really move in any direction. Any ideas? Replies to this message: surrfurtom (Mar 24, 2005 7:09 pm)

Replying to: shiftless (Mar 22, 2005 4:36 am) When you say contaminated, what does it take to fix that. Is it as simple as cleaning the sensors or do they have to be replaced? Replies to this message: gmdrvr (Mar 26, 2005 2:25 pm)
