Replying to: jjtj (Sep 08, 2005 4:43 pm) If you buy GM aftermarket 20's GM's recommended tires are Goodyear Eagle LS 275/55/20's, and this is without any brake changes. So the 285's shouldn't be that much more weight.
#630 of 1497 Re: 8.1L Problems - Service engine/Reduce Engine Power lights [towcray] by bigabe Sep 09, 2005 (7:17 am)
Replying to: towcray (Sep 03, 2005 12:46 pm) I had a similar problem with my 1999. Finally when the service engine light start coming on I checked this web site and found out that someone fixed a similar problem by replacing the Fuel Pressure Regulator. I took my truck to the dealer and sure it was. Now the truck runs good no problem. Good luck.

Replying to: jhayley (Sep 01, 2005 6:29 am) I have 1500 Chevy Silverado 2001   Mine died on me coming back from North Carolina. Had it towed to the dealer. It was smelling bad too! Like you said burning oil. Would crank but not start. This is what they told me. The AC line in the back of the motor above the distributor was not wrapped with foam insulator water from the AC was dripping on my Distributor. And inside it. It was all corroded inside. They replaced the Distributor and cap rotor and wires plugs were fouled also. My cost 500 dollars. Also they wrapped the AC line with insulator. If you have a 2001 silverado 1500 ext cab check yours.... Thought i would get my money back after i called customer service and told them. They Denied my claim....

#633 of 1497 Hard Start 1500 Silverado 2001 by jhendrix3 Sep 10, 2005 (3:03 pm)
My Truck would start on 2 tries and run fine and start the rest of the day. Then in the morning same thing. Then it took 8 tries and would be fine. Then was on my way to work going 65 and it would not reach 70 it was like it was in neutral So i backed off the gas and made it to work. Same thing on the way home. I Drove it to the Dealer they ran there checks on it. Said it was the converter It was plugged they said. Left it there and they put a new Dual Converter on it. 971 dollars. Picked it up they said it was fine. On the way home it bogged and dogged all the way home. Don't think it was the converter at all. Taking it back monday will let you all know what i find out.... You think they would know there job and get it right the first time.
#634 of 1497 Transmission shifts hard, reverse slips ?? by hdryder Sep 11, 2005 (7:01 am)
My 3/4 ton Chevy Silverado truck has 6 liter engine and a tow/haul transmission. I have about 5000 miles on it. I have had tranmission problems but they seem intermittent. Once the transmission up-shifted through all 4 gears very hard. This continued until I shut off the truck and restarted it after warm up. The problem was gone. I tend to think this was a computer glitch that caused the torque converter to lock up. It has not happened again but I keep thinking it will again any time. More recently, I started my truck and put it in reverse. It began rolling but I felt as though the transmission was only lightly connected to the drivetrain. It actually felt like it was partially in neutral. I stepped on the gas and the engine revved but the truck was barely moving. It did finally take hold but this has happened before but not to this extreme. I know the dealer must fix this but I need some advice about how to approach the service writer. They like to tell me that they can't fix a problem they can't reproduce. Please advise.

#636 of 1497 Ticking noise in 1st gear by park11 Sep 12, 2005 (8:30 am)
My truck is 2002 2500 6.0 automatic. I've only had this truck for a couple of weeks. There's a ticking noise that appears to be coming from within the inside of my dashboard when the truck starts. This ticking noise sounds like a speedometer cable. It happens when I start off rather slow. It goes away once the truck shifts into 2nd gear. The truck runs fine otherwise.   Any helps or ideas would be greatly appreciated. Replies to this message: geo9 (Sep 12, 2005 11:49 pm) park11 (Sep 13, 2005 7:32 am) me4 (Sep 13, 2005 2:14 pm)

Replying to: pc59 (Sep 12, 2005 9:13 am) I've got an '02. I was told the clunking was the reversing gear going out. This gear will take out 2nd gear and reverse. Have you heard anything.
