Does a website exist where I can enter my VIN, and bring up all of the vital info of my truck, similar to that found on a window sticker at the dealer? I recently purchased a 2004 GMC 2500 CREW (6.0L), and the seller did not have the original sticker, nor did he know what gear (rear-end), or transmission that the truck has. Did GM install more than one type of tranny in the gassers for that year? I got a heluva deal on the truck, so I am not real concerned, but still need to know exactly what I have here. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Replying to: jdsprad (Jul 07, 2009 8:45 pm) Back in the "olden days", I did the lift one tire off the ground: chalk mark on the drive shaft (flange bolt was convenient) and the lifted tire edge, then turn the wheel (counting the turns) until the shaft completes a full turn. Divide the number of wheel turns in half and convert to decimal. The dealer print is very handy to reveal surprises in the form of unknown adds and deletes. Our sedan had been ordered with light duty front disks and side air bag delete. I was a bit disappointed, but it's a good thing to know. The Duramax had more stuff than I knew about, cool to know about.

Dashboard light stays on indicating doors are open. Takes 10-15 min for overhead, door and cargo lights to go off after shutting down. overhead light stay on 5 min after starting engine. Tried the WD 40 on the hinges, did not work. Any suggestions? |

| 08 Silverado 1500 4WD Crew Cab, 5.3L Vortec, 3.73 rearend, 4 speed tranny, 20" tires summer, 17" winter and Z85 handling/trailering suspension. Looking at 6700 lb 5th wheel (will use sliding hitch) for 1-3 hr trips with minor elevation changes and 1 long trip with elevation changes. The truck is rated for this the way I understand it but looking for practical input from folks with real world experience. | |
I have just installed a brake controller on my 2006 Silverado 1500. I have installed the 40 amp fuse to the #1 Stud position in the box under the hood. I still have no voltage reading on the red or blue wire connections under the dash where the trailer brake harness connects too. Any clue?

| I have a '04 Silverado 1500 with the heavy duty tow package. I use the truck to pull a bass boat on occasion. I try to remember to unplug the trailer lights so nothing shorts. I must not have remembered once, because I have no power for the lights. The fuses at the side of the dash and under the hood are good. there is no power to these fuses at all. Is there another inline fuse or something I am missing. I'm usually pretty good at troubleshooting but I'm at a loss now. Thanx. | |
