Hi, went to the dealer today to have a sliding window installed in my 2014 silverado double cab. The dealer said the window will not work because the truck doesn't have a cavity for the window. Does anyone know what this means? -
I am replacing my belt tensioner. I can not find a place where it is bolted in. I thought that it was right in the middle of the actual tensioner but it's not. It look like there is some very large screw? Which nothing else I read or watched mentioned -
Hey, I am new to this so I just wnated to say, "Hi" and also ask a question. I was messing around in my 2002 XL Denali in the snow and was doing "dounuts". When I came out of one I had lost my power steering. I check the fuild and it was showing full (cold). The belt is fine and I am not hearing any noise from the pump. Before the "dounut" all was working fine. I also did not have anything come on telling me I had low fuild. I have only had this truck for five months and have not had a problem with it until now. Would love to have any information with this issue? Thanks! Jason

I currently put a 6in BDS lift on my 2003 silverado 2500hd i also put all new ball joints, tie rods, shocks, wheel bearings, and control arm bushings. well i put it all together and when putting the torsion bar keys back on it seemed way to tight. i snapped a breaker bar and bent a ball joint press. i messed around with it and then was able to get it in easier. well now i have no suspension? put your truck up on jack stands with the stands under your frame. that is what it is like. well maybe i turned the key down one to many notches...? no! if i move the key up one notch the truck sits on the floor. it also looks like the torsion bars have a bend to them? i am very confused and do not understand why this is happening i could use some help. thank you. Also i currently do not have my motor in it btw.

Just wondering if a 1999 Silverado ever came equipped with the 350(5.7l) vortec series motor, about to trade my Camaro for one with my neighbour. I owned a 2002 Silverado with the 4.8l and as far as I know and my research goes they came equipped only with 4.3l, 4.8l, 5.3l and 6.0l motors, can you possibly special order the 350 5.7l with this truck? I honestly haven't seen under the hood since the truck has been out of town for a while but returning on the weekend, currently I am just attempting research on it before I make my decision.

Had the rear differential gears and bearings changed. All Okay if I drive straight. If I turn then the tires start to skip. Try to turn on the Traction Control and the display says stability control disabled. Mechanic says drive it like that for a while it will go away (not). Can anyone help?

hi, i have a 97 chevy c1500 4.3 vortex v6 that was given to me. It had sat for about a year and a half before i picked it up. When i received it i put a new fuel pump and filter cleaned out the gas tank. It ran fine for 2 or 3 days and i drove 45 miles and it run fine. one day i drove it about 20 miles and it stalled, immediately when it started it would go then cut out again you couldn't go 50 ft without it losing power. The next day i changed the tps then cleaned the aic helped slightly but not much. Well come to find out my catalytic converter was blowing out honeycomb so we replaced it with a muffler since the real muffler had been cut (and no not directly under the truck we piped it out then put the muffler under the bed). It will idle but still wont run correctly i have heard there might be 2 fuel filters i will check that tomorrow. i will also ohm the 02 sensors to make sure the are working properly but they appear to be fine. Can anyone help me?

Hello Fellow Chevy Truck Drivers, I have had my 2010 Chevy Silverado 1500 LT 4x4 Z71 5.3L V8 since new. Since then I have replaced all tires with new Goodyear Assurance TripleTred tires in September of last year (2012). I also had brake fluid changed and the back drums and pads serviced. Recently, my brakes in the front (sounds like both) squeak when I apply them to come to a stop. Please note though that they start squeaking about halfway in my commute to work which is about 1 hour in length or 42 miles one way. The area I live in his hilly but not too bad. I live in the Piedmont area of NC. I do not tow anything nor do I drive "like I stole it", at least not in a while since I haven't volunteered with a fire dept. since 2003. I thought about just going ahead and changing my brake pads on the front but I am hung on the subject of what brand to use and ceramic or not. Any help or suggestions or ideas about what is going on and what course of action I should take would be greatly helpful. Thanks in advance. Ricky

I have a 4.3 vortec s10 and I recently took off the intake and took the throttle plate out to clean it. I am having troubles getting it to line back up when I put it back in. When the truck is off, it has no rub on the throttle body. But when I start the truck, it makes the gas pedal sticky and also makes the plate rub on the throttle body. I have tried repositioning it many times and also tried tightening the screws very tightly. It would be much appreciated if anyone could help me out since this is my daily driver and I don't want my throttle body all tore up. Thanks, Mike -
I am trying to buy a 2007-2010 newer body style Sierra or Silverado but I am having issues with finding ones with bucket seats in the front. I have heard people so it's possible to remove the jump seat from a 40/60 split and then add the console that's in the bucket seat trucks. I have been unable to find any consoles for sale so is this true? I really want the bucket seats so I don't want to buy a fold down console truck and then be stuck with it. Any help would be much appreciated.

I have a 98 GMC z71 with a 5.7l 350 vortec that is way too quiet. I plan on removing my cat and putting a different muffler on it for a better sound. Could that in any way affect my engine or mess up anything?
