#2 of 27 Engine Dying by hbd Apr 12, 2007 (2:06 pm)
I have a 2003 avalance. while driving down the highway or road, with a full tank of gas the engine die for no reason. I have to pull over to the side of the road and crank it back up. It starts without a problem. Replies to this message: heath2002 (Aug 23, 2007 5:29 pm) waldo560 (Dec 17, 2008 1:56 pm)

Replying to: hbd (Apr 12, 2007 2:07 pm) Dirty fuel filter? Fuel pump failing? Those would be the two things I'd check first. Since your Av is a 2003, the fuel filter should be inline in the fuel lines along the frame rail somewhere, relatively easy to get to and replace. Newer models have incorporated the filter into the pump itself (both of which are submerged in the fuel tank, and MUCH harder to get to from all reports).   Good luck, and I hope it's as simple as needing the filter changed.
#6 of 27 Piston Slap by andromador Jun 28, 2007 (11:37 pm)
I have have a 03 AV and I hear a noise when I first crank it up. Sounds like a few lifters are not primed up. It only last two seconds and quits. It does it cold or hot, I was wandering if this is the piston slap that I read about in a earlier message? Also can the marbling noise in the intermediate steering shaft be fixed by taking it apart and greasing the universal joint, or do I need to replace it?
