    01 Silverado 5.3 motor valve rattle

    On the cold mornings we are now getting here in Cincy when I start my truck (199K miles) I get the valve/lifter rattle for a minute or so then it is quiet and normal sounding. I am running 10w 30 in it. Should I run a thinner oil to help get oil to those lifters sooner in cold weather? The...

    I have a 01 Silverado z71 ext cab. I will research more tonight. I assume there is a part that I can buy and swap out the old one.

    Losing Hvac fan speeds.

    So this resistor can cause a few speeds to stop but allow others to still work? Where is the resistor located on 2001 Z71.

    Losing Hvac fan speeds.

    I have had my Silverado for 4 years. It never had a working fan speed for #1 setting. Now I have lost #2, the remaining fan speeds are working. What is the issue and how can it be fixed?

    2001 Silverado Z71 1500 Shocks, what brand?

    The old girl at 192k needs shocks. What is a good sensible brand to put on it. Stock height, don't need TOP end stuff (prob won't have it that long, years more, to warrant that money) but don't want cheap stuff either. Monroe's good?

    2001 Lifter rattle

    It will not hurt seals in the motor when I run trans fluid in it? I am due for a oil change about the time it runs low again. Good time to do the trans fluid thing and see what it does.

    2001 Lifter rattle

    So when my oil is low throw in a quart of trans fluid. How long do I let it idle? Then just change the oil as normal? I have a 72 Buick. I can drop some trans fluild in the carb while it is running and that will clean it?

    I know this was a problem with these motors. I just only seemed to be dealing with one doing it. Now it seems like Multi. I change the oil regularly and the oil pressure gauges reads fine. Is it ok to drive will they are doing this or should I let them shut up before driving? Right now they...

    2001 Lifter rattle

    For a long time at cold temps my 01 with 191k on it at cold start up I would get one lifter I guess it is that made the little rattle sound. It went away really quick. Now it seems that more than one are doing it now. After about a minute or so the sounds go away and the motor sounds just...

    Tire load for a 2001 Silverado Z71 1500???

    So I should only haul or tow about an additional 3k lbs if I ever need too? I have had the truck 3.5 years and have never hauled anything (has a fiberglass lift cover over the stepside bed), towed a Miata once with a full size Uhaul trailer.

    I just got tires for it and I hope I have the right rating for the tires. I got 265/R16 114t max load 2601 lbs, 44 PSI. I do not tow with the truck, no camper in the bed, don't haul stuff with it. Essentially just a fam car!

    ABS engaging when it should not

    Hello all. My 01 Silverado is developing an issue of when I come to a stop the ABS engages when it has no reason to be doing so. Do I have a dirty sensor on one of the front wheels? I am not getting an ABS warning light coming on at all at this point. For now how can I shut off that system...

    2007 Yukon Denali...no compression cyl #8

    I would not let a GM shop/dealer touch it. Find a independent shop that has been around for awhile that is known for good work. Stay away from any of the dealers or "chain" repair shops, they can lose any costs if they F up in the numbers they do across the chain. I one off shop with a good...

    2007 Yukon Denali...no compression cyl #8

    The motor is the sucky part of it, needing replaced. The "fringe" repairs like the hubs is normal maint I think with those miles. Mine went out on my 01 Silverado at about 175k. The truck really nice, maybe a jasper motor is worth putting in?
