Replying to: tlcluvstrucks (Mar 19, 2006 8:04 pm) After my experiences, have you had the ignition control module tested? If not, start there. Apparently, when they start to fail, they are intermittent and have various engine speeds at which they operate. One speed (rpm) can fail while the others are okay. Good luck!

I currently have 235/75/15 tires on my Chevy C-10, the speedo. is about 5 mph off. I need new tires so I have decided to buy a larger tire to off-set the speedo. problem and give the truck a "beefier" look. I have looked at 265/75/15 which will solve the speedo. problem, but, all I have been able to find were "all-terrain" tires that really do not suit my needs on a 2 wheel drive truck, price is an issue also, any suggestions?
#231 of 449 95 1500 Silverado: Bi Level Heat, Cruise Control, TBI vs. FI by gmjunkie Apr 02, 2006 (9:42 am)
I can’t get my bi levels to turn off running the heat and air conditioning. What causes this? My cruise control doesn’t respond as I engage it. Don’t know if it’s vacuum or electrical. I like to trouble shoot it and find out why it takes so long to engage or sometime doesn’t want to respond at all, this problem is intermediate. Can I change from TBI to Fuel Injection by just changing the manifold or do I have to do other changes to it. I have 188899 mile on it and soon looking to rebuild it. Thanks
#232 of 449 wont go out of 'park'! by clark15 Apr 02, 2006 (12:15 pm)
I have a 1995, 2500, automatic transmission 4x4...with a 454 engine 105,000 miles and it is stuck in park. Yesterday, I was able to get the floor gear into nuetral, and then it went into drive, but today eveything is locked up. Any ideas?
#233 of 449 1998 C/K 1500 gas gauge rapidly fluctuating by joeexeter Apr 12, 2006 (4:46 pm)
The fuel pump on my '98 chevy c/k 1500 died a couple weeks ago. 115,000 miles on truck. Pump was loud from the day I purchased truck new. For those of you who also have a loud fuel pump, a day or two before it died I noticed the tone of the pump changed. Also, the engine wasn't cranking over on first rev. (I usually put ignition key to on for a few seconds to pressurize gas system before turning key to start - engine alway starts after 1 rev). Anyways, I had to replace the whole fuel pump assembly. A couple days after replacing it the gas tank level indicator/gauge started to continuously fluctuate rapidly about +/- 1/32". There's no fluctuation when the tank is full. Also, when the truck is first started the indicator needle goes hard to the right then back to level. Anyone ever see these problems with the gas gauge or sending unit? Fixes? I'd hate to drop the gas tank again if it's not necessary. Thanks.

Replying to: dchase1 (Apr 12, 2006 7:15 pm) If the voltage to the camshaft sensor is good, then perhaps a knock sensor or the crankshaft position sensor? It certainly sounds like a timing issue, though a vacuum problem could also be the culprit. Replies to this message: dchase1 (Apr 14, 2006 2:05 pm)

Replying to: xwesx (Apr 13, 2006 9:33 am) the camshaft position sensor controls the timing in combination with the crankshaft sensor.the only codes im getting are for the camshaft sensor.po340 twice and po 341 .i'm thinking maybe i got a defective camshaft sensor.im gonna take it out tommorrow and try another one.

Replying to: bowler (Nov 23, 2005 10:22 pm) It sounds like the brake switch is not working correctly. That will keep it from up shifting correctly and kick the A.B.S light on

Replying to: tlcluvstrucks (Mar 19, 2006 8:04 pm) check the ignition switch they are known to do that
