Since the redesign in 1999 4x4 and 2 wheel drive Silverados have had basically the same front suspension - all you need to do is adjust the torsion bars - take it to a shop that knows what they are doing - or is honest - these guys are either completely stupid or are just trying to get your money. If you have a jack to raise the front end - a tape measurer and a socket wrench you can raise it yourself - Jack up the front to take the weight off the wheels - then give each adjustment nut on the torsion bars about 5 turns - drive around the block - measure to make sure the truck is level & raised the amount you want. Adjust if needed - repete until you get it right. The number of turns to raise 2.5 inches may not be the same on each side (seems like it should be - but its not always) Also a good idea to keep track of how many turns you do to each side - so you can put it back to stock if you want. Would then be a good idea to get a front end alinment. BTW - if you don't know what torsion bars are - just crawl under your truck - you should see two steel pipes that go from the front end to a cross member (metal piece that goes between the frame rails - its about even with the rear door handles)

2002 Silverado, 4x4, 6.0, 3.73, auto In first gear there a rattle that comes from the manual transfer-case lever. Sorta sounds like an empty pop can banging around. It's not real noisy, but enough to be annoying. It only happens in 2wd mode. If I apply a little forward or backward pressure on the lever the noise stops. Switch to any 4x4 mode, noise is gone. Anyone know what might be causing this or is experiencing the same problem. |

I have an electrical problem with my interior dome light/ dash lights. When ever i want the dome light to come on i have to play with the door switch that turns it on whenever you open the door. As soon as the light comes on all my lights start flashing. I know it is probably a bad ground but i have no idea where to start looking for that ground any suggestions?

I am getting a very bad clunk when my 03 silverado shifts from 2nd to 3rd. It does it under load/medium to hard acceleration and cannot be heard most of time while driving slow. I've read the driveline clunk posts and I agree that may be normal like from reverse to drive and back. My question is why from 2nd to 3rd and not any other combination. It also does it when downshifting from 3rd to 2nd. The dealer says it is normal of course and it may be but I'd like some other opinions and possible fixs
