I only get a click at the starter when trying to start my truck. This started with a bad battery, but I replaced it with a new one yesterday converting it to a top post. The starter is a rebuilt one replaced this spring and I pulled it today and had it checked - it's fine. So I though maybe the cable from the battery to the starter is bad and I used jumper cables to go from the neg. post on the starter to the battery and left the OE cable in place. Same thing happened, hit the ign. start position and only a click at the starter. I even "borrowed" another starter from the parts store and it did exactly the same thing. Any ideas what I can check now? Thanks. |

| i have a 2000 3/4 silverado 6.0. when i i crank the engine it struggles to start. sometimes it starts on the first engine rotation but most of the time it takes about 6 seconds to start, or starts on the second crank. once running the first 5 seconds it nearly dies, and then brings itself back alive. also while in idle or redlights there is a slight miss. have an obd2 and it shows no codes. has new battery, plugs, wires, fuel filter. altenator tests fine, fuel pressure is good. fuel pump tests fine. any help would be appreciated | |

| now i have a trouble code: PO300 random/multi cylinder misfire. | |
Here is a good one for everybody to help me with. I have a 2000 silverado that had an remote lock when I bought it. THE TRUCK HAS NEVER HAD A REMOTE STARTER. The other night I drove it to the store around 7 pm at 1 am the local police called and asked where I was going. They told me that my truck was running, Sure enough my truck was running with no keys in it and the doors were locked. When I went to shut it off it took my 4 trys of turning the key on and off before the truck stopped. DOES ANYBODY HAVE A CLUE WHAT COULD BE CAUSING THIS. This is the first time to my knowledge in 2 years that this has happened.
