Replying to: hotrod14 (Sep 12, 2006 9:58 am) 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... |

| 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? | |
| 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 | |

Can someone please explain how to remove the full size spare tire on an '07 Silverado. I insert the rod in the rear of the truck, turn, but the spare doesn't come down. Thanks.

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) 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.
