#31 of 1497 Groan (possible problem?) by canayjun64 Nov 18, 2002 (9:40 am)
Thanks Ryan...   Now why the heck would GM discontinue a fix? This is weird... If there is indeed a fix for this, shouldn't they honor this?   Do you think this could lead to an eventual problem?   Canayjun64
#32 of 1497 There's no fix cause by obyone Nov 18, 2002 (11:51 am)
GM doesn't consider it a problem. In order to attain the mpg, the converter locks up a bit earlier. Course you can overide it the way Ryan has illustrated or you can leave it as is. For me, a few HP increasing mods decreased the "effect" enough that it's not as noticable as before.

yep the fix decreased peoples mpg (mine wasnt affected) and people complained about that so the fix was discontinued   One problem led to another
#34 of 1497 REAR PASSENGER DOOR by am70043 Nov 18, 2002 (4:40 pm)
at the top of the rear passenger door there is a little play in the lock that seems to rattle on bumps. do you make the adjustment on the lock on the door or on the latch on the cab? if the adjustment is on the latch, how do you remove the cover over the latch from the headhliner.   2002 RADO EXT. CAB LS THANKS AL

The adjustment would be at the latch on frame, but this is a warranty repair so don't mess with it unless you don't have the time to leave truck at dealers since headliner is in the way.This should'nt be anymore than a 1/2 hour repair if the shop will let you wait.   Ray T.
#38 of 1497 rayt2 / door lock by am70043 Nov 20, 2002 (7:16 am)
I know this is covered under warranty, but I would much rather do it myself. As you can see I'm not crazy about others learning on my truck. So if anyone can help I still need to find out how to remove the plastic cover over the door latch at the deadliner.( what type of clip is it ) Thanks AL
#39 of 1497 AL by obyone Nov 20, 2002 (10:41 am)
It's real simple. There are two plastic clips that are positioned to the right and left of the latch. If you look closely, what's really holding the plastic piece is the latch itself as a part of the plastic attaches to the left side of latch. Pull straight down on the plastic from the side closest facing you as you stand outside the cab and it will pop right off.   Additional info, Upper striker bolts tighten to 18 lb ft. Lower striker bolts to 15 lb ft.   I particularly like this part. If you decide to adjust the door striker plate, do not remove both bolts as it may cause the striker backing plate to fall into the body adding in additional time to perform the repair.
#40 of 1497 Silverado ABS problem by kec1 Nov 20, 2002 (10:56 am)
I'm sure everyone is familiar with the silverado problem where the abs pump runs constantly and the only way to stop it is to unplug it or remove the fuse, but has anyone had any experience installing a used abs module? I found a used module for $175 and installed it. When I turned the ignition on, the message center said "security" and the fuel gauge went to empty and the truck would not start. I removed the wires from the abs module and everything was normal again. Does the used module contain the VIN from the vehicle it was removed from, and if so is this causing the problem? Is there anyway to fix this? Any thoughts would be appreciated.   Thanks kec1
