Replying to: obyone (Jun 30, 2008 12:11 am) Had it back to dealer again after replacement of battery. Mechanic said fuel relay switch bad and replaced. Trickle charge of battery for 36 hours+ and running fine. 3 days later dead again. Trying to get it in over weekend. If no success this time I guess its time to try another dealer and then maybe plow installer to check? No problems for 6 months and now its hit or miss on whether it starts or not. What about the starter or the ignition switch?

Replying to: learncpr (Jul 10, 2008 12:55 pm) I seriously doubt that it's the starter or ignition switch due to the fact that it starts right away when jumped. The fact that you ran the snowplow all winter pretty much eliminates the snow plow as the culprit although it might not hurt to get it checked. I was never a fan of trickle charging batteries. If the battery was near death the trickle charger will only postpone it for awhile as the battery will not hold a charge for very long. A lot of times the drain can be attributed to the power seats for some reason or other. Not sure in your case.

Replying to: obyone (Jul 10, 2008 1:46 pm) Last week the truck started on the first attempt in the morning but it hesitated quite a bit before it did. Ran it for about a minute, then shut it off. By 6 PM dead. Got it jumped, drove it around for 15 minutes and didn't have a problem. Even took it out of town over the weekend. No problems. The difference... I turned off/cancelled the Dome Lamp over ride switch so my domes don't come on when I open the door. After I returned home (3 hour drive). I turned the switch back on so the lamps would come on at door opening. Today(4 days later)... Dead Again. Could this little button be involved or do you think merely coincidence? Taking it back to dealer tomorrow. Had I been unable to get it started last week and not go out of town this would be the fourth trip for the same thing. Got 16.5 mpg highway, so when I can get it started it runs fine. It is just goofy due to the fact it sat out all winter and ran a plow without even a hint of a problem. Never a hesitation. The weather warms up, I start taking the bike to work and drive it very little now it won't start.

These GM truck threads are pretty quiet since they split them up! Sure miss the good ol' days of havin' fun with the tundra boys! A short howdy to Ryan, Quadrunner, Oby and the rest of the old crew wherever they may be! Anyhoo my 07 Chevy 2500 gmt-900 x-cab now is almost 2 yrs old and has 16k miles. It has been flawless and has worked hard either heavy towing, hauling or snowplowing. The only work that I have done on it are oil and filter changes and only one dealer visit to reset the tire pressure monitor system so I can run the LT tires at other than the recommended 50 frt./80rear pressures while not hauling or towing for a softer ride without the TPMS nanny going nuts! "Good luck on this one now!"

2002 2500 HD 6.0 34000 miles Have loud air escape noise coming from engine compartment. Seems like it only happens when real cold. When driving down road at 2000 rpm it started releasing this loud air escape noise ( like air was building up & then realeasing). Did every 10 seconds. temp outside was aprox. 10 degrees. Stoped & sat for 1 minute & let idle. When resuming drive it stoped making noise.Has done this on 4 different ocasions. Taking a guess I thought something must be frozen & The emission control air pump was building up pressure & then blowing off. Any ideas ? |

Still pretty beat around here still eh? Well my 07 gmt-900 2500 4x4 is now pushing almost 18k miles. Not many more miles since I posted here in Nov. But I can tell ya those few miles have been hard on this poor truck as its really only been used for snowplowing since another brutal snowy winter has arrived here in northern NY. Not to mention having 3 other vehicles to drive might be the reason for so little usage.................... No problems or dealer visits except for a $19.95 oil and filter change.

Replying to: otto8 (Feb 13, 2009 8:06 am) is due to get unstrapped from the plow and could use a good rest as well as a nice polish and detail. The poor thing worked hard pushing our daily major snowfalls and lake effect squalls here in northern NY. No issues or problems and truck has needed nothing but a oil and filter change! Its gonna rest for a few weeks then its time to put it back to work hauling the camper, boat, jet skis or big toy box for another summer of fun!

Replying to: otto8 (Mar 09, 2009 8:18 pm) is nearing this 07 gmt-900 2500 is ready for snowplow duty once again! As far as issues or problems I had to have the steering rack? replaced under warranty for leaks. Aside of that NO other issues and no other work needed except for a few more $19.95 oil changes. I am still unsure if I will trade it this spring 2010 as I usually do with all my trucks as the economy still sucks, my businesses are slow and this bad boy is paid for not to mention the 5/100 warranty will cover any drivetrain issues that might pop up pounding this poor unit snowplowing cuz it ain't no driveway queen! |
