Replying to: kg11 (Dec 03, 2001 8:47 pm) Whew...that's good to hear. I've had my 04' Suburban with the 8.1 in to a couple of dealerships due tothe annoying knock on start ups and they have said it is normal....I also just added a quart of oil between my oil changes and have 11k on it.

I'm going to give the Mobil 1 oil a try...maybe it will reduce the engine knock at start up a bit...I think most of these dealers are jumping on the same side as the manufacturer to avoid fixing the issue
#49 of 117 Hey All & Silly Tire pressure question! by lonewolf92c Jun 19, 2005 (7:58 pm)
Hello all from Kansas City! I am a born and raised Ford guy that has recently purchased a 2002 2500HD crew cab 4wd. I have had it about 2 weeks and I must say apart from gas mileage, you Chevy guys aren't all bad!   I noticed a tire might have been a little low so I pulled up to air hose and looked at sidewall before airing and couldn't beleive my eyes when I saw 80lbs. psi max. I am running LT265/75R16 E rated REVO tires. I have done some research and am still confused. I don't haul too often so I guess 80lbs all the way around is too much, but can't find any 'truth'. Thanks in advance for pointing me in the right direction.

The first thing you need to do is find the vehicle placard. If I remember correctly, GM trucks have the placard on the driver's doorpost.   The placard is going to list the original tire size and the proper inflation pressure for that size. It also lists the rim size.   There are several versions of a 2002 Silverado 2500HD. and the inflation pressures will vary a bit, BUT they all have 6.5" wide rims. An LT265/75R16 requires a minimum of a 7" wide rim, so the tires are too big for the rim. This is probably cause wear problems (center wear).   Hope this helps.

Replying to: capriracer (Jun 20, 2005 3:34 am) I did check the inside door sticker and looks like stock tires were LT245/75R16 and it says 55 front 80 rear. These are chevy rims so I am assuming they are 6" and thus maybe too narrow. Guess I'll see what else is up. Thanks for the reply!!
#52 of 117 Gear change on a 05 Silverado 2500 4x4 by thechampion11 Sep 28, 2005 (10:44 am)
Hey guys,   Just bought a 05 Silverado 4x4 2500 crew cab and comes with the 4:10 gears. I want to change the gears to 3:73. Is this doable? I just bought the Diablo Predator so that I can correct the speedo. Since I have a 4x4, would I need 2 sets of gears?   Thanks for the info!   Karl
#53 of 117 Front Axle Seal Leakage by kdjones Oct 02, 2005 (4:12 pm)
I own a 2002 Chevy 2500HD (gas) 4 wheel drive model. Took it in last week to local Chevy dealer (43,775 miles) for routine oil change and tire rotation. While they had it on the lift, they discovered one of my right front axles was leaking fluid. I told them to go ahead and fix it (appx. cost $300.00) since it was already there. To make a long story short, when the mechanic went to pull off the snap ring, it was frozen in place. He called the shop foreman over, who had never seen anything like that before, and it took the 2 of them to pull it off. In the process the ring was broken, and the axle sheared (at least I think that's what they said). Of course, they did not have replacement parts on hand, and could not find any locally, so had to order from manufacturer. Now, the price has almost doubled, no additional labor cost, but parts.   My question is, has anyone had this happen to them, or heard of it happening. I'm also wondering - is this a manufacturer's defect? If so, in my opinion, I should not have to pay the full price.   Thanks for any help/feedback on this.
#54 of 117 2004 2500 LD 4x4 by salazar1 Jan 17, 2006 (9:51 pm)
I understand that the 2004 2500LD Silverado is a 2003 1500HD by all accounts. The 1500's from what I know were/are 1/2 ton pickups. Is the 2004 2500LD a 3/4 ton truck or not?   If the 2004LD is a 3/4 ton truck then what makes the 2004LD a "light duty" truck versus a 2004HD that by definition is a "heavy duty" truck?   Is the difference in the "springs and shocks" or is there more to it.   I plan to pull a 32ft 5th wheel. Is the 2500LD too light for safe and easy towing?   Not dumb just can't get to specs.   Salazar
#55 of 117 4WD Problems in Snow by bubbys Feb 19, 2006 (11:17 am)
Been having trouble w/ my 2004 Silverado 2500 HD in the snow. I have a snowplow on the truck and the truck is useless in the snow. It veers to the right and can't get out of my own drive (which is slight hill).Had 1200 lb of salt in bed and couldn't make it up a hill in the snow. Got an 85 S10 never meant to plow and the thing goes thru anything. Anyone experience problems with the Silverado in 4WD? One guy suggested beefier tires- but I find it amzing this heavy duty truck is so bad in the snow as it is delivered from Chvy and you need to go out and get tires...

#56 of 117 2002 Manual wanted by cktrucker Feb 20, 2006 (4:56 pm)
Anyone know where I might get a 2002 C/K shop manual for my 2500 HD either on paper or disc for a decent price?
