I have an 03 silverado that I just dropped a new engine into. The original engine was a 4.8L and I bought a 4.8/5.3L to drop in it. The engine went in and connected up fine, but it is not starting by the key. If i bypass the ignition it will turn over. There is also a light that is on from the dash that has a symbol of a lock. Many people are stating that this might be a computer problem. Is there some kind of security lock, do I have to just reprogram the computer, or do I have to have a new computer put in? Also, if I need computer work, is the dealership/manufacturer the only place to get this kind of work done? Are there independent mechanics that do that kind of work?? Thanks for any help I can get. And this is kinda an ASAP thing too .. thanks ...

I have a 1999 Chevrolet Silverado Z71. Sometimes it doesnt want to start. After you crank the ignition for a few seconds if finally starts. I have replaced the fuel pump/sending unit, and the filter. Still no luck. Also my fuel gauge is acting funny. When you close the drivers side door, and after the dome light goes off, the fuel gauge goes back up to where it was when the truck was running. I have seen the same posting, but havent seen any solutions. Please if anyone has any ideas let me know.

Can anyone tell me how many miles you have to drive after your codes have been cleared, and problems fixed, before you can run through emmissions. I just cleared and repaired air intake check valve(passengers side),and cleared code but emmissions station says I have to drive or wait or whatever, till whenever? I still have to retest, but when?

I have a 2006 Silverado LS 1500 WD ext cab, a 6 cylinder with 4 speed auto transmission. Everything works fine except when I'm using cruise and doing about 55 and I reach a small hill, the tach jumps to twice the RPMs as the transmission shifts, then the RPMs abruptly drop to normal again. The tach is always in the safe zone. The dealer said (without driving the truck) that this was normal, but it's kinda annoying. Is there a problem?

Hi everyone, Recently, my 2k Silverado 4.8L has been dificult to start when it's hot. I suspected my EGR valve so I disconnected it to see but got the service engine light on now. I know it's not the EGR now but the light stays on. I remember my dealer telling me once how to reset this but I forgot. Could anyone help? Thanks
