#1408 of 1497 Hissing Noise by nvs36 Jul 27, 2006 (3:56 pm)
When I use my AC, Heater, or defrost my 99 Silverado makes this loud hissing noise. It does not make the noise while you are idling only when you reach 30 mph or above. Any ideas as to what is causing and how to fix? Replies to this message: gmctruck (Jul 27, 2006 5:43 pm)

Replying to: curtfloyd (Jul 27, 2006 6:27 am) I think they use a machine to do the pressure test. The test isn't that expensive and any automotive repair shop can do it. You do know that there are different temp ratings for T-stats .... right? Make sure the new one you put in was the right temp rating for your engine.

Replying to: geogalanis (Jul 27, 2006 4:01 pm) I think the warranty is still 3yrs/36K on your truck. Any GM dealer can run your VIN number and provide you with that information as well as check to make sure any applicable recalls have been performed on your vehicle.   You can order an owners manual, but the best place to find one really cheap is on auction sites.   Enjoy your new truck!

Replying to: nvs36 (Jul 27, 2006 3:56 pm) Have you checked your cabin filters? Leaves and junk gets down in there and needs to be cleaned out. Does the noise happen with just the fan running without AC or Heat? Do you have a bug deflector on your truck? If so, the noise might be the rubber strips on the sides of the windshield flapping caused by air coming off the deflector.   If the noise is more of a gurgle sound inside the dash than a hiss, you have air trapped in the cooling system and it needs to be "burped".

#1414 of 1497 Sticky Throttle '85 Scottsdale by 85scottsdale Jul 28, 2006 (6:12 pm)
OK, first time posting to this site...looks like most trucks are way mare new than mine, but I hope some one can help.   Bought an '85 Chevrolet K10 4x4 5.0 a couple of months ago. Just had a bunch of work done on it. I was having some issues with the engine idle being a little high...if I put it in park and reved it, it would go back down. The gas pedal was also pretty hard to push. My mechanic said it was because of the wrong after market carburetor getting in the way of the throttle cable. Well, I had a nice rebuilt carb put on the gas pedal is better, but the idle is still doing the same thing. It doesn't happen all the time but its a pain in the butt when it does. It makes the drive shaft bang when its put in gear too.   I figured something just needs some WD40 or something. Can anyone help? I haven't really taken a look under the hood for myself yet to try to fix it.   Thanks!!! DAN Replies to this message: gmctruck (Jul 28, 2006 7:54 pm) 85scottsdale (Jul 29, 2006 4:09 am)

Replying to: 85scottsdale (Jul 28, 2006 6:12 pm) Your fast idle problem was common for that era of engines. If it only does it when the engine is cold, then it's normal because the choke is on until the engine warms up. If it does it even after the truck has been driven for a while, then it's something else unless the choke is stuck. I had that problem on my '77 GMC truck way back when and I finally disabled the automatic choke and installed a manual choke cable which solved the problem.   When you install a rebuilt carb, some parts are taken from the old carb and installed on the rebuilt one, so that explains why you still have the same problem with the rebuilt carb. There is an idle solenoid that can be adjusted. I'm not sure what year they switched over to the computer controlled electric carb though. Sounds like your mechanic just needs to adjust the carb and make sure all carb components are functioning correctly. Since engines have been switched over to fuel injection for so long, it's getting harder to find mechanics that know how to work on and properly adjust carbs any more.

Replying to: gmctruck (Jul 28, 2006 7:54 pm) Thanks for the reply! I'll pay attention next time I run it to see if it still does in when warm. However, even when its cold, if I quickly rev the engine, it will resume a normal idle. That's what really led me to believe it was just sticking. It does have the electronic choke.
