#34 of 157 2000 1500 with Jumping/Bouncing Oil Gauge by fiddelm3742 Feb 02, 2007 (7:52 am)
Well I recently purchased a used 1500 with 160k on it. It runs quite well, doesn't appear to have the common engine clanks that most have in the cold weather. However while driving, or parked I noticed that my oil guague sits at about halfway and just jumps up and down. I hadn't seen anything about this being a common issue so I thought I'd ask and see what you all thought. If worse comes to worst I'll just have to take it in and get it looked at.

Replying to: fiddelm3742 (Feb 02, 2007 7:52 am) Exactly how far does it jump? Are you talking about the needle or the gauge itself? When parked it jumps as the idle remains unchanged? Replies to this message: fiddelm3742 (Feb 07, 2007 6:05 pm)

Replying to: fiddelm3742 (Feb 02, 2007 7:52 am) My 02 just started doing this and while I haven't fixed it yet, I suspect the sending unit is worn where it spends the most time. Doesn't do it when it's cold or if you rev the engine a little to get the sender to a different spot, so I suspect a new sending unit will fix it. Good luck ,Jim

Replying to: obyone (Feb 02, 2007 12:49 pm) Well after watching it a little more closely it appears to stable out while I accelerate, however when i sit idle it moves from about the halfway point on the gauge about a quarter of an inch. Its not a constant rise and fall it bounces up and down. So... sending unit?

#39 of 157 99 Z71 speedometer HELP!!! by bassfisher7413 Mar 06, 2007 (4:54 pm)
Ok guy big problem with my 99 z71 truck (im setting with 96,000 miles right now) Im supposed to leave town tomorrow on a family thing but the other day my speedometer just died on me and went strait to 0MPH for no reason at all now the crazy thing is when I lay off the gas (or touch the brake) the speedometer acks like it wants to work and the needle jumps up but then the very second it jumps up it drops strait back to 0mph… I took the truck in and the mechanic installed a new sensor but it was still having the same problem (he said he has never seen this type of problem before) so what can I do to get this problem fixed???   any help would be greatly appreciated Replies to this message: geo9 (Mar 06, 2007 7:08 pm)

Replying to: bassfisher7413 (Mar 06, 2007 4:54 pm) Most likely your instrument cluster has failed. Common issue on 03+04 trucks. First post I have seen on a 99 model..............   Check out http://www.gm-trucks.com or http://www.fullsizechevy.com You will prob. find more info. there.........
#41 of 157 Turn signal switch by mattmanm89 Jul 07, 2007 (5:36 pm)
i own a 1999 chevy silverado reg cab. when i got it, it had an aftermarket cruise control in it. it did not work when i got it. i want to put in a stock control with a cruise control on it. looking at the things on eBay, the connectors look identical from the one w/o cruise and the one w/cruise. my question is can i simply buy a new one with cruise and install it. is it that easy? i want to know if these vehicles are prewired and ready for options it doesn't have, the speakers are as i found out but ya im not sure if a cruise control swap is that easy. thanks a lot
#42 of 157 '89 silverado glove box door by meyertree Sep 12, 2007 (4:16 pm)
Hi All, new to the forums here. looking for some in locating a replacement glove compartment door for a brown '89 sliverado. i'd loaned the vehicle to my bro-in-law, and it came back with the pin hinges on both sides broken off. i found the piece from one side on the floor, but the other side is completely gone. the only thing holding the door up when its open now is the plastice string supports. i've been looking around in various car part web sites, and have found pretty much everything BUT a glove compartment door. any suggestions? (i haven't been to a dealer to ask yet either) Replies to this message: meyertree (Sep 15, 2007 4:08 pm) tmgusa4ever (Oct 11, 2009 7:07 am)
