You quoted something out of a memo they sent out they also say in that memo that dealerships are discouraged from trying to fix the problem. And that the problem will not effect durability or preformace as far as I know only 2003-2004 models are having this problem how do they know it will not effect anything??
isn't it to soon to make they kind of statement?

If I rememebr correctly, current owners at the time were going with an aftermarket rear window as the solution.
Turn off the key and your good to go. Regards, Dan O

Don't use cruise control when driving on wet surfaces. I'm not trying to say that the downshifting when in cruise isn't a problem (both of my current Chevy's- one's a truck, the other a newer model car, do the same). Just that I've always been taught that using cruise in heavy traffic or poor weather was a recipe for disaster.

I have contacted GM Customer relations (real joke) then I contacted the office of the CEO for CM Auto division. Should hear from them next week. If everyone with these problems would stay on GM's case the problem would get fixed. What make car do you have that is doing this. Our dealer led me to believe that the a problem with 2001 - 2005 trucks with 4.3 engine with auto transmission.

PS:I would be glad to get you the accurate info from him if it would help.
I haven't timed this behavior before, but that sounds about right (when in cruise). The worst part is that the downshifts are harsh compared to the way the transmissions downshift when not in cruise. Downshifts when not in cruise are relatively smooth, and you can tell that the torque converter is doing its bit first (unlocking, etc. before the shift, resulting in a much more gradual increase in rpms). In cruise the transmission acts as if it skips unlocking the torque converter in favor of immediate downshifts instead, resulting in a major jump in rpms and a hard bump or lurching feel as the lower gears engage.
Anyway, if your situation is something specific to your tranny / engine combination, I wish you luck getting the situation taken care of.
I have a 2000 1500 and just recently, while towing my boat, noticed the trailer running lights were no longer working. Walk around reveled the truck's daytime lights were no longer on either. All other lights, turn signals, brake light, etc. still work fine. Only the two front, white daytime lights and the trailer running lights. With no trailer lights connected, the daytime lights still do not come on.
I suspected a blown fuse but all test good. There is one relay on the fuse panel that I suspect as the daytime lights normally come on with a click when the emergency brake is released. Now there is no click.
Does anyone have any info on the relay functions on the fuse panel, or any other ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Is anyone out there familiar with the Cruise control on the 95 Chev Silverado.
Mine died on me last week and I was wondering if a person can test for whether the cruise control unit is fried or if there is a disconnect somewhere in the wiring?
Thanks
Just back back from the chevy dealer and they fixed it so far anyway. It's a D4707 Module or assembly, hvac control head reprogram that was needed according to their receipt. Further explanation is 3L A/C actuators out of calibration, left temp clicking -Chk A/C data with tech 2 and recalibrate A/C controls actuator ok at this time. 0.4 hrs.
I searched on the internet and apparently other cars not just GM uses this type of programmable actuator/controller for the AC. Must have been a tolerance issue wiht the software.
The silverado has about 4200 miles on it. Bought in april 05.
Best gas mileage I've seen is about 19mpg although the sticker says 20 is the highway mileage. Most of the time it is 16 or 17 for around town.
I tow a 23 ft twin outboard offshore boat, twin axle trailer. Probably over 5,000 lbs No problems there. I like the suspension a lot better than the smooth ride suspension on the 4.8 L truck but I still think the suspension could be firmer with better shocks and springs.
I know the difference considering I drove an 02 vette with the z51 suspension package for 1.5 yrs. I don't think there's a better suspension out there. The truck is a bit too soft although the HD suspension in the crew cab is better than the smooth ride suspension. I still believe it could use improvement particularly if you tow anything. Occasionally the truck can get into a harmonic when towing on the front suspension that causes the nose to bounce going over hills. Not what I would prefer. Stronger dampening rates and springs would probably help a lot.
Anyone know of any after market stuff to help out the bouncy-ness of the 1500 suspension (I've got the heavy duty suspension but not the HD truck). :shades:
My silverado is just out of warranty. It rained all day on it yesterday, now it won't start!
I have the hood opened trying to dry it out.
Any suggestions???? :confuse: :sick: ">
