#106 of 236 2003 Silverado 4x4 switch by circuit1 Sep 27, 2008 (9:01 am)
I noticed the other day the red light on my 4x4 switch panel was on and when I pressed 2WD or 4WD the engaged indicator light for those switches just flashed. Later the red indicator went out. anyone know of this indicator light and what may have happened?

Replying to: tpruitt (Mar 23, 2008 10:54 am) "Actuator" It is a electronic piece that tells the front end to kick in. A new one will run you around 80 bucks on a GM and you can always buy a used one from a junk yard for 35 - 40 bucks. It takes 10 minutes tops to change it and all you need is a cressent wrench. This information is all from experience on a late model GMC Z71. I hope it helps!
#108 of 236 Best Tires on a Silverado? by blckislandguy Sep 30, 2008 (5:37 pm)
I have an '08 Silverado 1500 (non-Z28) that came with some fairly unagressive all season tires. Does anyone have any suggestions for the best replacement tire that would deal well with snow, ice, and highway driving? Replies to this message: obyone (Sep 30, 2008 9:57 pm)

Replying to: blckislandguy (Sep 30, 2008 5:37 pm) I'm assuming you mean non-Z71.   I've always installed Michelin LTX M/S on my trucks after the stocks wore out and sometimes much earlier.   However, while visiting tirerack looking for tires other than the Michelins I stumbled upon these and picked up a set after reading their survey results which were stellar.   Firestone Destination A/T   After 5K miles, they are everything that their survey results say they are.

#111 of 236 2000 silverado front drive shaft concerns by gwhitney Oct 14, 2008 (4:00 pm)
I have the electric shift and I hear it change to all positions, It also appears to be working, however when I have it in 2 WD is the front drive shaft supposed to be turning all the time or is it supposed to be disengaged. I had my wife move it in the drive way and it turned both in forward and reverse. I also tried to turn it by hand just to see if it might be free wheeling. It is not. It is either engaged at the transfer case or at the front axle. Is this normal? It all stared to concern me when the service 4wd light came on. It has happened twice now and goes off when I restart the truck. Both times I was driving in 2WD. there were no codes / messages logged in the computer when it was checked.
