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)

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?
#1454 of 1497 engine reduced power by dbrinkman Sep 17, 2006 (5:14 am)
My 2003 chevy silverado has a new fuel pump and a new Tac Module. The symptoms are while driving regardless of length of time or speed of driving and it happens whenever, the engine loses power and shuts down. There are no unique patterns as it may not happen for two or five tanks of fuel. The engine will still run at 1000 rpm and runs smooth but has no acceleration. You can put the gas pedal all the way to the floor and it's as if there is no communication from the pedal to the motor. When you put it in park, shut it off and wait about 2 minutes, it restarts and everything is back to normal. Has anyone had this problem. Please help

Replying to: mpikchik (Jul 23, 2006 1:35 pm) I'm a little late replying to this post,but I don't see any replies so here's my 2 cents worth.... It sounds like maybe you have a clogged fuel filter. Change the filter and see what happens.

Replying to: jschunke (Sep 17, 2006 11:47 am) are you turning the crank the correct way? on mine you can keep cranking it up and it just skips like it has a clutch so you cannot strip it out just a question.
#1459 of 1497 2007 Silverado trouble by strent Sep 18, 2006 (3:36 am)
My new 2007 Silverado was built and shipped with the toe-in, camber and caster out of alignment. I took it back immediatly and the dealer did a full front end alignment. Drives good now. Next I started noticing the truck looked like it was leaning or lower in the front end on the drivers side. So I took a tape measure and found it was over 1" lower on the drivers side than the passenger side. I am taking it back to the dealer this morning. Will post later today...

Replying to: strent (Sep 18, 2006 3:36 am) Is the gas tank full? If so, it's on the passenger side and may be contributing to the lean. Also, they probably do the alignment at the factory with the tank empty. 26 gal x 9 lbs = 234 lbs. Replies to this message: strent (Sep 18, 2006 8:43 am)
