#104 of 126 Silverado HD plastic chrome b umper by losman54 Sep 27, 2008 (12:57 pm)
Does anybody other than me have a problem with paying the high price of a Silverado HD pickup only to find out that the flashing bright bumper(end caps) that the new Silverado HD pickups is made out of PLASTIC!!!   How long do you think shine will last before the front of $40,000 look like crap? Not only is it cheap it looks cheap too. I only wish you could option out of that style of bumper when ordering.

I have a 95 chevy 1500 z71 with a 5. v8 my starter would randomly not work so after a few days of screwing around i discoverd that if i wiggled a wire connected to the sylenoid then it would start so we got a new sylenoid and put it on and after all is said we re connected the battery and without the keys in the ignition right when i touch the possitive wire on the battery back on it started to turn over right away.....ive tried wiring it different and tried another sylenoid on top of the first new one....Note this car used to have a remote starter i just thought maybe that might have something to do with it but im pretty sure it isnt hooked up........so i tried wiren it different and nothing would happen period so i know i def wired it correctly.... what the hell is wrong here
#106 of 126 water and air leaks by dtietz Oct 24, 2008 (11:56 am)
Has anyone encountered air and water leaks into the box area on the new style Silverado's ? I have plenty of air rushing into the box and lifts my soft tonneau cover up while driving at highway speeds about 2" to 3" over the rail. and every time theres wet roads I get lots of road spray in the box. Great for my tools !!! Replies to this message: rippstein (Oct 24, 2008 5:00 pm) dtietz (Dec 02, 2008 6:42 am) snot2 (Apr 03, 2009 9:37 pm)

Replying to: dtietz (Oct 24, 2008 11:56 am) I have the lightweight Undercover ABS-composite solid bed cover on my new-style crew cab 4x4.   I installed EGR bed rail caps to cover my stake holes. There are open areas in the left and right top front area of my bed, sealed using DapTex latex-based Insulating Foam Sealant that remains soft and flexible. I have a TrailFX bed mat on the floor. These minimize water blow-by in most of my vulnerable areas. I also added a TruxSeal tailgate seal in the back (mostly to minimize dust draw in the back).   Both sides and bottom-front of my bed are not air tight. There are drain holes thru my front floor and body gaps behind both side walls. With my solid bed cover, air pressure is not a problem, although I can understand it's effect on your soft cover. This is one reason I selected a light weight hard cover that can easily be removed. Remember our truck beds are not designed to be air-water tight.   Where are you noticing the most "water spray" in your soft-covered truck bed, front, back, sides?

Replying to: oscgolf (Feb 10, 2008 5:30 pm) Gene   The problem with my tailgate (2000 Siverado 4.8L 3rd Door ) is is there is a little plastic piece that keeps breaking. The dealership want $150 to fix the problem. I am just try to find a detailed diagram of the tailgate so I could fix this myself.   Larry Replies to this message: oscgolf (Dec 02, 2008 8:43 pm) elentz (Apr 07, 2009 3:27 am) auntkrusty (May 03, 2009 3:54 pm) otto8 (May 07, 2009 9:41 am)

Replying to: rippstein (Oct 24, 2008 5:00 pm) sorry I didnt get back earlier ! The most leakage is coming in from the 4 odd shaped holes under the bed rails on both sides(8 holes total), I plugged the holes for a temporary fix with duct tape and didnt have any problems so I know thats where the problem comes from but yet the dealer argues that it's my tonneau cover that is causing all the problems, I have been dealing with Chevy customer service several times on this issue and they keep saying take it back to the dealer, what a run around ! CLOSE THEM UP! NO LEAKS ! open them up it leaks again, now I'm getting snow and salt spray in the box too !!   Disgusting !!! Replies to this message: snot2 (Apr 03, 2009 9:37 pm)

Replying to: ldhardt (Nov 14, 2008 8:47 am) I decided to fix this myself... and actually it was pretty easy. If you unbolt the latch, it lifts out pretty easy and replacing the plastic clip is fairly simple. I thought about taking pictures at the time to document the procedure, but it was too simple...

#111 of 126 2001 Silverado C1500 HD Rear End Noise by hcasa2 Dec 29, 2008 (6:16 pm)
I own a 2001 Crew Cab Silverado C1500 HD. The truck makes a rolling popping noise when moving from a dead stop. It only occurs only during the first few revolutions of the drive train. This occurs more after the truck has been driven for 10 minutes or so. The sound can be heard and felt in the vehicle.   I have had it in for service several times and they cannot find anything. Does anyone know what causes this noise and is it destructive??? Replies to this message: elentz (Apr 07, 2009 3:34 am)
#112 of 126 2006 Chevy Silverado 1500 tailgate stuck by shukeeper Mar 22, 2009 (2:22 pm)
I have an 06' Silverado with a stuck tailgate,I tried WD-40 but no luck. The handle clicks to unlatch it and the left side unlocks, but the right side latch doesn't seem to be moving. I tried pulling, pushing and damn near kicking it open! Please send me some advice s I don't need the dealer.

Replying to: dtietz (Dec 02, 2008 6:42 am) I have the exact problem with my 2007 Silverado ( New Style ). My tonneau seems like it could just fly off at 65 mph. I was thinking of a Great Stuff material, but don't want it looking like crap. What was your fix if any?
