#99 of 126 creaking by textruck Apr 28, 2008 (5:31 am)
Thanks, I pressed the door, while shut, against the stripping at the top of the door, it made the exact creaking sound. What type of silicone? Like a grease? I had the clunking sound as well when my truck levels off after a stop, doesn't do it all the time. I have buckled all my belts in the rear and it still does it. Thanks again.

Replying to: textruck (Apr 28, 2008 5:31 am) It just needs to be some silicone spray. You can pick it up at any auto parts store. The stuff I have specifically states on there "For weather stripping". Actually if you read in the manual GM states to do this every 6 months or a year as routine maintenance, we just have to do it once a week...

Replying to: natesms (Apr 28, 2008 7:26 am) Has anyone made any progress on this. I'm still having to clean my weather stripping once a week and the dealers have been no help. Replies to this message: obyone (Jul 31, 2008 8:42 pm)

Replying to: natesms (Jul 31, 2008 6:26 pm) I've used silicone grease in the past and it lasts way longer than the spray. If I remember correctly it was $25 a tube but on a recent visit to that website I noticed you can get considerably more for the same price.
#103 of 126 Original Sales Information by dispencer2 Aug 07, 2008 (6:11 pm)
I have a 1986 Silverado that was originally sold somewhere in Idaho. Is there anyplace in GM that I can send an email to get the name of the selling dealer so that I can contact them?
#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)
