#516 of 1497 Re: Leveling kit 2005 Chevy Silverado 1500 [mm1422] by obyone Aug 03, 2005 (3:32 pm)
Replying to: mm1422 (Aug 02, 2005 6:56 am) See reply #509. You can do it with the torsion bars. However, if you drive a 2wd it won't work as the suspension setup is a little different. Works for 4wd only.
#517 of 1497 Re: 350 starting problems [falcon241073] by plima20916 Aug 03, 2005 (5:34 pm)
Replying to: falcon241073 (Aug 01, 2005 6:52 pm) Thanks for replying. The engine turns over very strong. It happened today. After driving it for a while I parked it to get some coffee( 10 minutes) and it wouldn't start. After letting it cool of for a while (190 degress) 20 minutes, it fired right up. Is there a fuel relay or something like that. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.   Thanks again!

Replying to: ddd522 (Jul 06, 2005 12:13 pm) hi:   check your fog lights to see if they have water in them. we just purchased a 2000 chev 4x4 ext. and found that BOTH lights had water inside. obviously, it's a manufacturing defect by GM. Fog lights should NOT fill up like swimming pools.

Replying to: newtochevy (Jul 06, 2005 7:41 pm) don't buy this line from ANY dealer about this issue.   this could be a catalytic converter problem, oxygen sensor etc..   you need to contact their service manager and demand they go through the truck looking specifically at fuel related issues....   otherwise they will ignore your requests until the 31st day of your purchase!!

Replying to: tenaha1 (Jul 16, 2005 2:29 pm) I have a 2001 2500 HD Chevy Silv Ext cab with 8.1 and Allison Trans. I am experiencing the same problems. It just dies for no apparent reason. It happens anytime anywhere going down the road at highway speed sitting at a red light or stop sign starting out in the middle of an intersection. The other day I had my girlfriend and kids in the truck and pulling a trailer and it died in the middle of making a right hand turn. No power steering and a trailer pushing me into on coming traffic. One piece of advice I can give any one with this same problem. 1. I usually have to bring the truck to a stop on the side of the road. 2. park turn the key off 3. let it sit for about 30 seconds to a minute 4. it will start back up. 5. If I dont turn the key off and let it sit it will not start and end up cranking the battery down.    I would like to fix this problem for good I have tried changing fuel filters. Has not helped. The fuel pump is electric and can hearing it running. The fact it dies and seems to reset it self leads me to believe it is computer related sensors or something. If anyone can help me with my problem. PLEASE HELP!!!

Replying to: jwashin (Sep 24, 2004 11:19 am) I have experinced the same problem with my 2001 2500 HD 8.1 litre. as well. Feels like the drive train slips it des not do it all the time. Just once in a while when accelerating when going really slow or starting from a dead stop. Would appreciate any information on this as well if anyone has any idea what is wrong. Dont no if it is a sensor or torque convertor or transmission. Hope it is not expensive.

Replying to: dave50 (Jul 31, 2005 11:14 pm) I did what you said, and cleaned out the tube and the mass air flow sensor, and I took off the distributor rotor and cap to look for water, and I took the EGR valve out and cleaned it and apparently one of those 3 was the problem, because it runs like a new one now! Thanks for the help. I really think it was a combo of the EGR valve and cleaning that sensor, because it went from really bad to perfect after an hour of work. Thanks Dave.

#525 of 1497 Odd sounds. by bigzt88 Aug 07, 2005 (9:12 am)
Hi guys,   I have an 89' Chevy Silverado. It is my pride and joy. It has a nice V8, and the interior and overall truck itself is in great condition.   Anyway, my truck is making an odd sound. You know when you first turn on a water hose, and you hear the first few drops sputtering out? That is the sound my truck makes sometimes. I can park my truck, and gas my engine, and hear it. I have several holes on the top of my muffler, but my friends told me that probably wasnt it. I am not to worried, I am just kind of wondering what it is. Its just tiny little sputters. Other than that, the truck drives great, and all is running good.   Any clues? Thanks.
