Replying to: 04silveado (Oct 02, 2006 1:04 pm) Check your owners manual. In it where it says when to check your oil it will tell you how to reset the change oil message. Your dealer should be able to reset this at no or little cost. It takes about 30 seconds to do.....Matman98 Replies to this message: evergreen (Oct 02, 2006 6:50 pm)

#1483 of 1497 2002 Silverado 4.8L V8 Battery light comes on intermitantly by pete46 Oct 04, 2006 (3:44 am)
Hey guys,   My 2002 Silverado 1500 had the alternator go on it last week. I changed it out and now my battery light is coming on intermitantly. The voltage measured with a multimeter coming off the alternator is a good 14.5 and its registering the same on the gauge in the cab. I changed out the belt while I had everything apart so I don't see the belt slipping. I flip on my AC to max and I see the power draw down on the gauge, never did that before. Any idea's???

Replying to: pete46 (Oct 04, 2006 3:44 am) I would venture a guess that you got a bad alternator..especially if you bought it at AutoZone. Replies to this message: pete46 (Oct 05, 2006 11:31 am)

Replying to: jneal (Oct 04, 2006 3:34 pm) I was thinking the same thing. I bought it at CAP and I was just telling a buddy of mine last week how I never had any trouble with CAP parts. Murphy's law! I was thinking I might have hosed the battery driving it back home after the original alternator went south. I have a life time warranty on the new alternator so maybe I'll give that another shot before I replace the battery.

Replying to: evergreen (Sep 28, 2006 6:52 pm) The dealer should do some research before spreading any grease. I don't have the part number handy but there are rubber spacers that are placed between the springs to rid that slapping problem. It is well documented and nothing new for the '00 model.
#1487 of 1497 Re: '06 Silverado Interior smell-not normal [ricsch] by ricsch Oct 06, 2006 (1:04 pm)
Replying to: ricsch (Sep 21, 2006 4:09 pm) Dealer found the heater core to be leaking, will be replacing it and hopefully this cures the smell-never noticed any coolant loss or leaks anywhere.   Service adviser mentioned the h. core is located on the driver's side of the truck(?) thought they were closer to the passenger side-says it's a bit involved to remove & replace. Good thing for the warranty.

Replying to: 04silveado (Oct 02, 2006 1:04 pm) like previously mentioned, the owners manual will tell you how to fix the change oil light, but the check engine light is not related to the oil change. The dealer will probably charge you an hour's worth of labor to check the code as will and individual shop, unless of course you have a good mechanic that you know and trust. Then he might not charge you for a 10 second check and reset of the computer. I might suggest heading to Autozone or calling the parts houses in your town. I'll bet one of them will have the ability to check the code and generally at no cost.

Replying to: 04silveado (Oct 02, 2006 1:04 pm) Someone did not re-set the milage meter for the oil. Its in the owners manuel. You are good until the 3,000 miles are up. I can send you the instructions for the 2002 but I am not sure its the same. It only goes by the milage. It does not inspect the oil.
#1490 of 1497 cluster mucked by raizincain Oct 08, 2006 (10:15 pm)
It started with my speedo telling me lies. Then it stopped altogether. Unfortunately the symptoms were common in my other instrumentation as well, i.e. voltage, temp, oil pressure. I've read alot of similar circumstances in forums. And though they were in fact quite helpful, I guess I am only trying to hold on to my money so I can keep the wheels turning. Is it a flat out prognosis? (cluster defect)
