#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.

#1470 of 1497 00 silverado not idling down properly by c_lo5 Sep 21, 2006 (7:21 am)
not to long ago my check engine light came on and my 2000 silverado 5.3 started running rough. It seemed like it did not want to idle down properly and sounds almost like it wants to backfire. Had a diagnostic done and had to replace the mass air flow sensor and the wiring harness that shorted out. Ever since then the check engine light went off but it stills does not want to idle down when you let off the gas and it does not want to slow down as fast as before the problem but the tach is going down when you let off the gas. Please help everyone is telling me that I should not worry about it cause it is not throwing codes out but I know it is not working right and I just want my truck to run like it did.

#1471 of 1497 '06 Silverado Interior smell-not normal by ricsch Sep 21, 2006 (4:09 pm)
Have a '06 Half/Ton crew cab and have an annoying smell that seems more noticeable with the heater on(windows closed) Hard to describe the smell, sort of like a coolant/or electrical wire burning smell? Or could it be that when they rustproofed the truck, they got it somewhere that when the heater/fan is operated, it draws it(the smell) into the cab? It sure isn't the "new truck" smell of my previous trucks!   I haven't taken it back to the dealer YET. Thought I'd post here and see if anyone else has experienced something similar. Never noticed this type of smell in my last 3 Silverados. Replies to this message: ricsch (Oct 06, 2006 1:04 pm)
