#4 of 1497 Driveline Clunk by canayjun64 Aug 30, 2002 (4:20 am)
Thank you for the reply. I felt compelled to post a message purely as a second opinion. The explanation above is the exact same as what my dealer sent me (Fax). My final question to this ... do I need to worry more about it? It seems to me that any mechanical "clunking" noise usually ends up as a repair(s). It just doesn’t sound right. Hell! …even the word clunk sounds awful. Canayjun64 Replies to this message: docgreenough (Feb 01, 2005 9:28 pm)

#7 of 1497 Quick Fix by ryanbab Sep 18, 2002 (12:56 pm)
Take it to the dealer. They will replace the throttle body. I had this done a month ago and it made a HUGE improvement. I have 30,500 miles on my 2000 with the 5.3   Ryan
#8 of 1497 Sticky throttle. by gator36 Sep 18, 2002 (8:28 pm)
They may not replace the throttle body. They may just clean it with carb cleaner really well. There is a TSB on the replacement of the TB but it only covers a certain build range...
#9 of 1497 and the cleaning by rayt2 Sep 19, 2002 (8:19 am)
is considered normal maintenance so you may very well get charged for it! That was documented by a few posters quite awhile back on this board for those who had the same sticky throttle problem. The TSB suggests a cleaning first ie; routine owner maint. Watch out for this one !   Ray T.
#10 of 1497 "gurgling" noises noted with acceleration right side by mark227 Sep 20, 2002 (11:13 am)
Sounds like fluid/air mix from right side when accelerating from stop up to about 30 mph. Not so loud the stereo doesn't cover it, but is sure annoying when I want quiet in the truck. Any ideas or similar complaints? 2000 Silverado Z71, 5.3 L, 3-dr extended cab. Replies to this message: bud2045 (Dec 29, 2004 8:06 pm)
#11 of 1497 Gurgling.... by gator36 Sep 20, 2002 (12:48 pm)
There is a TSB for the 8.1 l model year that is similar to the problem that you state. In the TSB they suggest removing the flow restrictor. The test for this is to pinc the heater hose with a pair of vice grips and test driving it to see if the noise is still there...
#12 of 1497 gurgling number 2 by gator36 Sep 20, 2002 (12:50 pm)
Is the A/C on? There is a TSB related to an A/C concern that would require new parts.
#13 of 1497 GURGLING by sonjaab Sep 21, 2002 (8:44 am)
Have read on other GM threads...Ya need to BURP the cooling system. Something about a air pocket in cooling system. Since no radiatior cap on rad. you gotta take off or loosen one of the hoses.....geo
