#716 of 1497 TSB / '05 Silverado 1500 Crew Cab shocks by firesource Oct 07, 2005 (12:24 pm)
FYI, after reporting a problem to my dealer, I was advised there is a TSB out on front shocks for the '05 1500 Crew Cabs. Bad bushings are creating a creaking in the front end. Hope this helps others...
#717 of 1497 Knock In Steering Wheel?? by mbuhrman Oct 07, 2005 (5:57 pm)
I have a 2002 silverado and just recently noticed a knock in the steering wheel when you turn. Was wondering if anyone else is having the same problem and if so how did they fix it? I was told by some guy that it is in the steering rod not sure if that is true or not. Replies to this message: noobie1 (Oct 07, 2005 11:34 pm)

Replying to: mbuhrman (Oct 07, 2005 5:57 pm) "Steering Clunk" is a well known quirk that sometimes develops in these trucks. TSB-00-02-35-003 was issued to deal with it. Sorry I don't have the text; my Alldata subscription ran out. But it describes the problem of inadequate lubrication in the intermediate steering shaft. If your handy there are two ways to go: You can buy a kit and re-lube yourself (cheapest), or you can buy the improved shaft. I'm not sure the newer shaft is improved because of closer machining tolerances or just a better quality grease or both. That's why I'd recommend the first. And if you go that way don't use the grease in the kit. Get a good quality wheel bearing grease or you'll end up doing it again just as I did. All this, of course, provided the diagnosis is correct. My truck "clunked" while slowly turning into an elevated drive or similar situation.   -David
#719 of 1497 92 K1500 will not idle, then stumbles and dies by estaka Oct 09, 2005 (4:04 pm)
My 1992 K1500 when cold, does ok, but once warm, it will not idle smoothly, then the engine starts surging, then it stumbles and dies. The ignition components are fresh and seem to function fine. The idle air valve was replaced as was the computer with a loaner... no improvement. A scanner was hooked up to it yet no trouble codes came up. The MAP sensor has not been tested, but seems to be working. The TPS seems to be in spec. The EGR valve was removed and checked... no problem there... The EGR vac switch was bypassed and the vac hose disconnected and plugged and still no change. Fuel pressure seems to be OK but have not tested with gauge... I believed since it ran OK at highway speed, it has enough pressure for idle... The truck is a 5 speed manual tranny Step side and if this keeps up it will be wearing a holley real soon. Can anyone help? Replies to this message: geodawg03 (Dec 06, 2005 7:47 pm)

Replying to: kwbrown (Oct 10, 2005 5:13 pm) Is this a shadetree mechanic or the dealer? Replies to this message: kwbrown (Oct 13, 2005 7:41 am)
#722 of 1497 speedometer (sometimes works and others it don't) by rweb Oct 11, 2005 (8:12 am)
I have a 2003 Chevy Silverado Ext. Cab, the speedometer will work sometimes and other times it will max out and stick. However, I have noticed that when I turn the truck off and restart it, the spedometer will sometimes jump back about 4-8 M.P.H. ( this would be Okay, if I would'nt ruin the rest of the vehicle restarting all the time to get back to zero) I have noticed that the Odometer is not affected at all. Not a mechanic by any means on todays techno world, however hoping it's something that I could possibly fix myself. Any suggestions!

#723 of 1497 Re: Duramax 6-speed clutch adjustment? [series60] by themom Oct 11, 2005 (8:24 pm)
Replying to: series60 (Oct 03, 2005 8:51 am) Thanks for the reply. My son says it is only hard to get into 1st gear when towing. (Basically, 1st gear is only used when towing) The other gears are fine. Also, when towing or not, when he's on the highway, thus not shifting....the clutch stiffens a lot. As the clutch is used, it gets back to "normal". Any ideas on the cost of clutch replacement if that is needed, and should he get a "performance" clutch or not? Brand?? Thanks so much for your help.
#724 of 1497 Follow-up / Post 716 TSB on front end by firesource Oct 12, 2005 (4:38 am)
'05 Silverado Crew Cab 4WD >>> dealer noted a TSB in place for front end rattle was due to problem with Shock bushings. Shock was replaced --- problem WAS NOT corrected. Apparently there is another TSB on front end rattle that involves suspension part replacements. Will be trying this as soon as the parts arrive.   Problem very noticeable on un-even roads (where trucks are supposed to be driven!!)   Anyone else had this problem?

#725 of 1497 Clutch Fan / Overheating w/Plow by firesource Oct 12, 2005 (4:44 am)
Replying to: geo9 (Sep 27, 2005 6:17 pm) I had an '03 2500HD with the snow plow prep package and a Boss 8'2" V-Plow. I experienced major overheating problems during normal driving with the plow on. There is definitely a TSB out there for clutch fan problems --- and you can find more details on how others addressed this on www.plowsite.com (great site with info from guys that plow for a living).   Good luck!
