#1444 of 1497 Re: 1989 Silverado Dying Problems [hp73chevy] by vrk0057 Aug 29, 2006 (6:29 pm)
Replying to: hp73chevy (Aug 27, 2006 5:00 pm) We were orginally thinking along those lines, especially after changing the fuel filter. The old fuel that drained out of the old fuel filter was the color of Coca Cola. We changed the filter twice that month, both times the excess fuel was Coke colored. While waiting for it to die, we removed the air filter and watched the injectors spray fuel until two seconds after the engine died. So, we are fairly certain we have the right amount of fuel at the right time. The problem is weird b/c it dies just like someone turned the ignition off. I believe our next step is replacing the ignition module. Apprecate your thoughts!!

Replying to: stapes (Mar 10, 2006 8:37 am) I am in the same situation. They tightened up a few bolts and told me there was nothing they could do. They told me that the problem exists in only V6 models made in 2006. They gave me a notice sent to them by Chevy that addressed the problem. My advice to you is to take it to every local dealer and give them an opportunity to fix it! If they can not fix then they need to do something to make things right. The problem was not disclosed before the sale of the vehicle, therefore they are liable. P.S. Keep all of you paperwork and make sure they capture your complaints on that paperwork. Good luck!

Replying to: johan (Feb 04, 2006 10:36 am) Update, the headlights in my truck have mysteriously started working again. Periodically they will go out, but I simply turn the switch back to the parking light area and back on again and the lowbeams seem to work. Highbeams work as normal. My guess is that it is a short or connection problem somewhere. Hope this helps, its not right, but bareable for now.
#1447 of 1497 2002 silverado 2500hd no reverse by davech2o Sep 03, 2006 (6:19 pm)
I have a 02 2500hd 4x4 4L80E with 59,000 miles and when shifted from drive to reverse I heard a whinning noise the reverse did not work any more, the forward gears work fine. I think it might have something to do with the sun gear? Hope someone can help.
#1448 of 1497 Engine miss under load by Crotalus Sep 06, 2006 (6:31 pm)
Hello. I'm new to this forum and have a 93 Silverado with the 5.7 L engine (throttle body). It misses badly under a load (mainly going uphill). It misses a little at idle but the miss under load is making it almost undriveable. I had this problem about 12 months ago and did a complete tune-up which fixed it for several months. I had new plugs installed (they were already fouled) and replaced the MAP sensor a few weeks ago. This time the fix lasted less than a week. Oh yeah, have changed fuel filter to no avail as well. I need some help as to where I should go now... ERG system? ignition? timing? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Replies to this message: hotrod14 (Sep 11, 2006 9:28 am)

Replying to: Crotalus (Sep 06, 2006 6:31 pm) is the check engine light on? if so are you getting a dtc p0300 code if so it could be a valve problem

Replying to: vrk0057 (Aug 27, 2006 9:58 am) did you check the oil pressuse switch, i think if the oil pressure drops the oil pressure switch will cut off the power to the fuel pump, or the oil pump is not producing enought pressure, its worth a try if everything else is ok (3prong type) Replies to this message: vrk0057 (Sep 12, 2006 5:54 pm)
#1452 of 1497 Re: 1989 Silverado Dying Problems [hotrod14] by vrk0057 Sep 12, 2006 (5:54 pm)
Replying to: hotrod14 (Sep 12, 2006 9:58 am) Hi hotrod;   This past weekend we jumped a wire from the positive (to bypass the fuel relay and oil pressure switch)battery terminal to the fuel test slot on the ALDL connector under the dash. The fuel pump came on and stayed on, but the engine still died. Afterwards it is very very hard to restart. I think our next step is the pickup coil then ignition module. Someone mentioned a crank sensor as a culprit. We have a factory repair manual for this vehicle, but there is no crank sensor, or crank angle sensor, or cam sensor listed. Several experts have said it has one, but the auto parts places don't sell one, and i don't think it is a dealer-only part. Thanks for your help, and any other advice you have is surely welcome...
#1453 of 1497 '98 Silverado Transmission Problems by ltw12000 Sep 15, 2006 (5:34 am)
We had to have our transmission rebuilt recently at 72,000 miles and now the truck keeps shifting out of overdrive and acting sluggish? Anybody have any ideas what's up?
