I just bought a 1995 silverado 4x4 with crew cab and 5.7l engine with 140,000 miles. I cannot find anywhere in the owners manual as to when to change the timing chain. The previous owner said he had not done it. Any help? Thanks

ON most single cam in block v-8 engines the timing chain is steel
unlike some belt driven engines and is usually a "life of engine" part
and is not replaced unless it fails in most cases........................

Thanks, another Silverado friend said that he never had his changed out and he is at 200K. So, I guess I am good to go for awhile.

Driver 1 refers to the key fob you are using. Use the other one and it will be driver 2.
 
So assume you have power mirrors, power seats etc. You set them for your comfort by pressing and holding the 1 on you door pad till it beeps. So, next time you drive the truck, you insert key fob 1 (look for the number 1 on back of fob) and if the seats, mirror, were changed since you last drove (wife used fob 2 and set to her liking), they will remember the setting for Driver 1 and adjust to those settings.
 
Not possible with out the DIC or the luxury LT features. It comes with the LT option.

Have you found out how to fix the heated seats in your truck? I am having the same problem and it just started recently. Thanks

Help changing automatic locking doors by kornkurt

I just bought a 2008 Silverado. I would like to program the automatic door locks so they do not automatically lock, but the best my dealer could do is get them to lock when I have been going 8mph for 3 seconds and unlock when I put it in park. In my 2004 trade in I was able to disarm them. Is it possible to turn them off? Thanks for any help you can give me to this annoying problem!!

Sorry Korn.................yer outta luck!
GM and the feds gave us another "nanny" to save us from ourselves !
From 2005 and up you can only set the auto locks to either lock when
put in gear or at 10 mph. NO more shutting them off like our 04s did !
 
Heres other gem "nannies" we now have with out GMT-900s:
 
No more turning off the door/key-in/seatbelt chime warning !
All you can do is have it either sound off loud or soft.............
Or throw away your stock radio for a aftermarket unit. The chime has
been generated thru the radio since 03 or 05 I believe.
My 01 had a seperate chime unit I just unpluged!
But Crutchfield audio DOES sell a module to enable a aftermarket radio
to produce warning chimes! Must sell a lot of them ya think?
 
Another is the wonderful Tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS).
Mine has been going haywire since new. First it was just a warning light.
After being ignored now it won't show any tire pressures and I get multi
service lights and a chime!
I think my truck wants to mate with the dealers Tech 2 machine !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
My 03 Caddys TPMS ain't made a peep since new !
 
Nice truck tho..........No other issues and I work it hard snowplowing or
heavy towing!...................

I don't know about the fed law. Some other brand of trucks can have the door locks turned off completely & the passenger side seat belt chimes can be turned off but the light still flashes. Maybe your dealers telling you that like gm dealers do.Don't Know But I do know gm dealers lie.

So what exactly is your point? That you don't know federal law? or that some other truck's chime can maybe be turned off? That dealers lie?
 
I would think the best bit of advice would be to read the owner's manual? Make sense to you?
