Replying to: bowtieheadache (Mar 08, 2008 3:27 pm) it is common for the gage cluster to cause simmilar problems i noticed with mine the gages didn't move a fews seconds after it started for a month before it started draining the battery the bad news is it cost $500 dollar for the computerized gage cluster i did a lot of research on line and the gage cluster was a common problem with 2001-2003 bowties Replies to this message: bowtieheadache (Mar 09, 2008 5:19 am)

Replying to: pipefittterr (Mar 08, 2008 7:09 pm) Thanks for the tip.I am going to replace the guage cluster.Just to be thorough,I am going to have the starter and alt rebuilt.It just seems weird that I drove it all morning around town yesterday,and then it did it in the afternoon,thus the "dead at random"  ??did you go to a dealer for the new cluster,was it OEM or aftermarket?
#53 of 193 Chevy 2500HD will not start by bandera1 Mar 19, 2008 (10:47 am)
I have a 2001 Silverado 2500HD with a new battery but intermittently will not start. No click, hum or nothing. It seems like the security interlocks are not all releasing; if this is possible. Sometimes I reset the remote, slam a door, lock/unlock a door or something similar and the thing will start. It may go days starting OK, but then it won't. Any ideas?

Replying to: bandera1 (Mar 19, 2008 10:47 am) I do not have anything concrete yet.I am removing my remote start,replacing the guage cluster,all relays and rebuilding the starter and alternator.All of these seem to be involved based on postings I have seen.Unfortunatly my local dealers want to throw darts and see if they can find it.After I complete these repairs,I will post regularly with good or bad reports.Good luck
#55 of 193 2003 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD 4 wh drive by jogunde Mar 25, 2008 (8:04 pm)
22,000 mi parked pickup, restarted engine to move up 3', exited pickup. 5 min later tried to restart, turned key, would not start; dashboard lit up (battery etc.) and only item left lit after a few seconds was 'a picture of an engine'. HELP!!!! no previous problems, recently had mini tuneup 2 months ago.

Replying to: bandera1 (Mar 19, 2008 10:47 am) I had a similar problem (see msg #55). I did alot of online research and then spend a few hours reading the manual. How I resolved my problem was to stand next to my 2003 silverado with remote in hand; hold down 'lock' and 'unlock' simultaneously for 15 seconds. my pickup started immediately. i must originally hit a door lock or something on the remote which prevented by vehicle from starting. all is well now
#58 of 193 Help, Starter?? just rapidly clicks by idago May 20, 2008 (2:20 pm)
Need some help. 2000 GMC 5.3 L sierra, I just ran a quick errand and when I got back into the pickup to leave, I turned the key and all I heard was a rapid clicking sound. Not sure if this is the starter or a relay or what. Any ideas?? Replies to this message: obyone (May 20, 2008 6:18 pm) south2 (May 10, 2009 11:47 am) obyone (May 11, 2009 1:00 am)
