Hi I recently purchased a 2001 Chevy Silverado 1500 2wd w/5.3L, and some times when I drive it will stall and I see the security light blink 3 times when this happens. When I restart the truck it starts right up without a problem but if I don’t keep taping the gas it will stall, but if the truck stalls and I put it in park and remove the key and put it back in, it starts right up and stays running. I have had one situation where the truck had stalled and I couldn’t restart it for 30min, it would crank but not start, like it was just out of gas. I just went to Auto Zone to have an engine diagnostic but there was 0 codes on the computer, so I am lost and any info would be appreciated.

 

 

Thanks

hi i had a problem with the passlock in my 2000 silverado when staring cranking longer than normal the problem was a dirty lock cylinder the senor is in the lock cylinder just remove it and wipe it clean and maybe it will solve your problem only takes about an hour to do. some one might have spayed wd or lube in it which leaves a film which changes the resistance of the passlock sensor and the computer is thinking you stole it which shuts off the fuel system check out dtc code p1626 this will give you more info about how the passlock works

Well my vechile will not start , in my messange center box The battery, low fuel and security is blinking, and my fuel gage is not working. Well atleast now if i take into a shop they can troublshoot it instead of driving around and hoping it will stall.

Because i dont have a good idea what to do, because im thinking its a security issue on this truck.

CHECK YOUR GUAGE FUSE IT CONTROLS THE SECURITY SYSTEM

I checked the fuses, they all seemed to be good, I started messing around with it today and then all of sudden(18hrs later) when I had put my key in I saw the gauge working and guess what the truck started right up. Right now that kind of fuc# me, because I had an appointment with a dealership Monday to bring it in, but now its running. What should I do, because im afraid of what the dealer might charge to have to take the vehicle on the road wand what till it stalls, have it towed back to the shop, and what if it doesn’t stall then what do i do, will they charge me a ridiculous amount of money which I don’t have at all.

ok somebody tell me if this sounds correct. Today i finally just took the truck to the dealer, i told them every little detailed, they had call me back today and said its a bad fuel pump, and i said to him, why is my fuel gage not working when my truck doesnt start. The only time it doesnt start is when the fuel gage isnt working, and he said that its actually the fuel pump module that is going bad adn it does control both.

So i dont really believe him but i do not have $1000 to just replace the fuel pump and the fuel filter to proove him wrong. I now owe him 86 dollars for what think i is not my problem, but maybe im wrong maybe it does control both, but i was told different.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By newdude · Posted

      This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By newdude · Posted

      2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.

      Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By newdude · Posted

      Probably not their first rodeo, so it should go as planned most likely.  Typically the service manager or tech doing the swap will put some seat time to shake it down after they get it all put back together.  We usually put 50-100mi before we hand them back so if something happens, its not after you get it.  A coolant leaks, oil leaks, a ground left off or loose, vibration, etc.     The new engines so far have been good?  There's been a couple that have popped out there again (the replacement engine) but most have been okay.
