I have on '02 4.8 automatic. I've started experiencing a clunk shifting to second gear. I've also asked around and others have the same problem. I was told by two transmission shops that the problem with the trans is, they weren't designed properly (under engineered), and don't fail in the same way every time so no recall.

I think you're out of luck then. The GM database will always show that truck as a federal emissions vehicle, not a Cali. If DMV runs the VIN, it will come up as a federal.

mine is a 98 with a 5.7 vortec. when it first started I only had a little problem getting it started but kept getting harder. my fuel mileage dropped and had black smoke from running rich. the temp sensor is located on top in the front just below the thermostat. to check this unhook the connector and check voltage between the two wires. you should have 5volts. if this is good check the ohms on the sensor when the engine is cold reconnect the sensor start the truck and let it warm up then check the ohms again. at 68 deg the ohms should be about 3520 at 86 they should be 2238 at 140 they should be 668 and at 194 deg they should be 240 ohms. I suggest you check this out before buying the sensor.

Take it to the dealer and have the computer reprogrammed. They will charge you about $40 and it doesn't make a lot of sense but it works. The way it was explained to me was that the computer doesn't tell the compressor to turn on when it is suppose to.

Problems with the truck when it's cold.

I have a 2000 Silverado 1500. 4.3 liter V6. Right now when I start it in the morning it starts fine but when I try and accelerate it doens't want to move. The entire truck shakes and sometimes it will die completely. If I put it in reverse about 50% of the time it will die also. I have had it put on a diagnostic but nothing showed up even though the service engine soon light was on. This problem only happens when it's been sitting for a long time and after it warms up it runs like a champ. Any ideas on what the problem could be? A friend of mine said it could be the spark plugs but I am thinking that's not the problem. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

hey you will have to find out what makes it compliant from a dealership in your area and have them run an emmisssions check and it sould tell you what you have to change to make it compliant. Most liky youl need a new cadalitic converter

To override the parking lights simply pump the dome override button a few times until the dash beeps at you. It will allow you to control all of your lights. In order to reverse this simply repeat the process. Good luck and I hope this helps.

just wondering if any one could recommend the best way to level my 00 extended cab 1500 2wd. the front end sags about 2.5 inches lower than the rear. took it to a shop, but they said i would need a whole new front suspension, and that it would really cost me. i would like it to have the lift of a Z71 but not cost me a small fortune. any help would be appreciated
