#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

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. Replies to this message: dozerhand150 (Sep 17, 2006 3:56 pm)

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)
#1461 of 1497 Re: 2007 Silverado trouble [jschunke] by strent Sep 18, 2006 (8:43 am)
Replying to: jschunke (Sep 18, 2006 4:13 am) In the service dept. this morning I had less than a quarter tank of gas. We measured and it had a 7/8" difference, lower on the drivers side. They asked me to go fill it up with gas and leave it with them. They said they could fix it. They even loaned me a loaded out crew cab demo.
#1462 of 1497 Keep her in D or 3 around town? by jschunke Sep 18, 2006 (12:09 pm)
While cruising around town in "D" my Silverado (2WD, 3.23 ratio) will tack out as low as 1100-1200 RPM. That seems a bit low, bogging the engine. I'm on the fence about putting her in "3" around town (about 1500 RPM 40 MPH), or just keep it in "D" and leave it all up to the transmission? Any suggestions?
#1463 of 1497 Probably 2 issues; hard start, bad accellaration by bulldog59 Sep 18, 2006 (4:11 pm)
I know I have a poor(at best)prime thing going on with my "98-"99 Z-71. Pump was new say 40K ago,runs good at idle and on the highway. But since this has been going on, today I found that if I rev it up(to like 5000rpm)in Park,then try accel, it's smooth.If I don't, it stumbles and backfires and just IS crabby.Does the same crabby thing in PARK tooo, but is gone faster.After that, smooth accel.
