IH784

I've got an 05 5.3 Silverado with the driver side brake, turn signal, reverse and horn not working. At first, these problems were intermittent and now they're here to stay. I've checked fuses on the driver side door, engine compartment and looked for corrosion at the pig tails underneath by the driver side rear tire as well as a common ground by the driver side radiator support. They could be unrelated but, is there anything else they have in common besides the BCM and that ground?

Hello everybody! I’ve got an 05 Silverado with a burned out resistor and pigtail. I diked the wires because they were pretty well crispy. I have a diagram but I’m only showing 6 wires on it and the pigtail has 7. Can someone take a look at the diagram and the pigtail in the picture and tell me what color wires go to the corresponding letter? Or tell me which side to start from? Thank you A LOT!

I had no clue. (Obviously). Not sure how much pressure my cooling system was holding because after I added “kseal” I started hearing pressure release from the reservoir after removing the cap. Thank you for the explanation!

I am going to try Kseal and see what happens. I’ve got an old tractor that it worked out really well on. I know what the right fixes but it’s a 2005 with over 200,000 miles on it. I’m not sure that the juice is worth the squeeze.

I found a few drops of oil on the bottom of my oil filter. When I poured the used oil into my new oil container, I noticed how much didn’t go in as it normally does.

Absolutely. I wasn’t sure if diluting the mixture more would’ve made it more susceptible to evaporation. I just noticed the lower level when I changed my oil. No milky or hot chocolate looking oil. Oil was actually low by about a 1/2 a quart not fuller lol. I just ordered a cap.

Good evening, I added about quart of water to my reservoir three months ago. Today, my reservoir was about half to 3/4 a quart low. This time I used 50/50ish mix of the dex stuff. Would the pure water have cooked off that much quicker? How likely is it I’ve got a bad cap? I’m aware of the castech heads in this model. Just curious what y’all’s thoughts are with losing pure water, an almost 20 year old cap and some pretty extreme heat this summer. edit:210k.

Lol. 3k on a lawyer for a 3k engine problem. Thanks for your advice. I’ll keep looking for someone who knows what they’re talking about.

I hear what you’re saying. I also understand a company not wanting to foot the bill and trying to find any reason not to do it. If you’ve been to the dealer with one of your five for warranty work, I guess there’s no issue with it.

I feel like that should be the only reason for warranty refusal. I’m having a slight tick come from the engine but, I’d like to change my oil once more and see if it helps the noise any. If it does, I’ll wish I’d have bought the valve and installed it ahead of time. I think the Valvomax sits below the threads in the oil pan. There shouldn’t be an issue of gunk building up above fitting because the valve doesn’t protrude above the pan inside. Just curious. Thanks for your response!

If I install an oil drain valve like the Valvomax oil drain, will it void my warranty?

I agree. The problem with mine is that it’s intermittent. I’ll check tomorrow morning and wait the 5-7 minutes and see what happens. I can manually turn off the AFM. However, the DFM is still running. Does turning off the afm help any when I do it first thing when I get in the truck?

I saw the same thing but different lol. This TSB is more current. Thank you. Do you know if using Pulsar LT will quiet it down or is damage done?

Does anyone know if the pulsar LT works with a truck that has an intermittent tick already or should I carry it to the dealership and MAYBE have them “fix” it?

Yes, I’ve seen this tsb before. I sealed them but not good enough apparently. Is there any way to disable these?
