thanx
I just spent several hours looking for a rattle behind the dashboard, top/middle. It's very annoying. It sounded like something tapping the underside of the cover, but I drove it with the cover off with no change. In fact, with the cover off it sounds like it's coming from inside or behind the HVAC ducting, yikes. Anyone ever had a solution to this problem, I mean short of cranking up the audio or trading the truck in.

This past weekend we jumped a wire from the positive (to bypass the fuel relay and oil pressure switch)battery terminal to the fuel test slot on the ALDL connector under the dash. The fuel pump came on and stayed on, but the engine still died. Afterwards it is very very hard to restart. I think our next step is the pickup coil then ignition module. Someone mentioned a crank sensor as a culprit. We have a factory repair manual for this vehicle, but there is no crank sensor, or crank angle sensor, or cam sensor listed. Several experts have said it has one, but the auto parts places don't sell one, and i don't think it is a dealer-only part. Thanks for your help, and any other advice you have is surely welcome...
size spare tire on an '07 Silverado. I insert the
rod in the rear of the truck, turn, but the spare
doesn't come down. Thanks.

just a question. :confuse:

probably do the alignment at the factory with the tank

3.23 ratio) will tack out as low as 1100-1200 RPM. That
seems a bit low, bogging the engine. I'm on the fence about putting her in "3" around town (about 1500 RPM @ 40 MPH),
or just keep it in "D" and leave it all up to the transmission? Any suggestions?
Other than buy new or quit smoking!
Thanks!

I'll keep you posted.

I haven't taken it back to the dealer YET. Thought I'd post here and see if anyone else has experienced something similar. Never noticed this type of smell in my last 3 Silverados.
A LOT of 03-04 cluster failures reported in many
GM truck threads............
Check your owners manual on how to set the auto
locks on your truck...........
the thermometer on my 2001 Silverado says NC in the mirror readout. Any ideas....
Thanls!
any body know the fix?
I recently just bought an 04 silverado 4x4 extended cab w/ the vortec 4.8. When I bought the truck it had 66,500 miles on it. The dealer that I had bought it from took it to a garage and got it inspected for me, as well as an oil change. The sticker that was put in my windshield says that the next service should be @ 70,500. Well i am at somewhere around 69,200 right now.
This morning i got in my truck and everything looked fine, but when i got done work i got in my truck and started it and i noticed that the change engine oil came over the display. Now my engine light is on. Is this on because my truck is saying to change the engine oil or should i bring it to a garage and get the code checked? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Once again i apologize if i am taking over someones post.
p.s. Could someone explain to me how to create a new post?
My 2002 Silverado 1500 had the alternator go on it last week. I changed it out and now my battery light is coming on intermitantly. The voltage measured with a multimeter coming off the alternator is a good 14.5 and its registering the same on the gauge in the cab. I changed out the belt while I had everything apart so I don't see the belt slipping. I flip on my AC to max and I see the power draw down on the gauge, never did that before. Any idea's???
