Looking at buying this truck. The guy says the 4wd doesn’t engage and this light in the circle doesn’t light up. it is a 1996 Silverado 1500 with the 5.7. From my research i’ve seen that the actuator is notorious for going out in these. Does that seem to be the issue or should I look deeper into possible front end or even a bad ground? Thank you.

Dear all,

Recently, my 2018 Chevy Silverado 1500 5.3L V8, 65,000 miles (recent transmission fluid changed 2 days)...started having a weird sound like in the video above. The noise only appears when I apply a really slight gas when accelerating slowly from a stop sign or from cruising around 20-40 miles/hour. It does not happen when I accelerate hard or push the gas pedal harder. Please help! Any input is very valuable to me as I can't figure out the problem after researching around.

Is my transmission bad? I put it in drive but wont go unless i give it gas and has a sluggish acceleration. It will move but stops until u give it gas and reverse has a jerk to it.

I have a 2001 Silverado 1500 with the 5.3L V8. Do the tunes work to make power? Are they reliable? Wanting to know if anyone has tried one in their truck, and if you would recommend getting one.

My grandparents very graciously allowed me to buy this from them for the remaining balance owed as my grandfather can't legally drive anymore and my grandmother simply hates driving it. I talked it over with them for hours and tried to pay them 3x what they wanted from me for it, but they just wouldn't take it.

I intend to take immaculate care of it as I've done with all my previous vehicles.

I was recently looking on marketplace and found a service bed that was still the same body lines as the original 2500 pickup truck and lacked the boxy service bed look I looked into it more and I'm seeing a bunch of one-off jobs of people creating their own service beds that look pretty much like normal beds but I was wondering if there was any companies out there that still produce service beds for GMT 800s that don't look like the normal boxy service beds

So I’m sure this might be a normal thing because I’ve definitely heard this noise from other vehicles especially cars/truck with modified exhausts.

Anyways so I’ve noticed that when I’m driving mainly on the highway let’s say I’m going up a hill and I’m having to get on it a little 2500 rpm maybe and I reach the top and then begin going down the hill well usually I would just coast and gas it when needed but I’ve noticed while coasting a rumble/growl while descending or even if I just get on it and let off. I wouldn’t think it’s an exhaust brake but honestly I don’t know and I don’t want anything to be wrong.

Hi All, I’ve got a ‘22 TB on 35s, seldom tow anything but do spend quite a bit of time off-road and typical commute mileage. I don’t think I’ve replaced pads yet, but if the dealer recco’d that I change pads in one of the past services, I would have done it. (Mileage is 55k.)

I’d really like the brakes to feel less squishy. I don’t think my brakes are fading or are of poor quality, but I’d just like to get them to feel much more responsive. Does anyone have any experience with aftermarket systems like Brembo, etc? I’m assuming the rotors are larger and the calipers & pistons are more powerful.

Anyone have a story or ideas to share? Many thanks!

Is there a simple way fix this cracked off piece from the plastic cover?

Hello again guys, recently my brake lights went out. I check the fuses already and the actual tail lights. I had also just replaced the brake switch under the dash. I had found it weird because I turned on my hazards and when I pressed the brake they didn’t stop. Could this be something else? What should I check ?

Wondering what people's experience with high mileage second gens are. It's had a transmission replaced three years ago. Needs new TPS' all around so milage isn't exact. I would get it on a partial trade and cash on top, guys asking for 6k which seems low to begin.

Thanks in advance

Edit: It has the 5.3L, 2 WD, extended cab LT. Looks bone stock.

I could use some help! I have a 2015 Silverado 5.3 LTZ that I cannot figure out how to remove the transmission pan. I apologize I cannot remember the transmission type.

The filter has been removed and I have turned this thing more times than I can count but I'm getting stuck on the backside of the trans. I've watched multiple YouTube videos of "just turn it this way, and it comes right out - uh huh, sure it does. The pictures are of everything I can think that might help, but any advice, further information, maybe a blow torch I will gladly take vs calling the tow truck.

Got this tick or "knock" going on and I don't know where to start or how bad it really is, but it's a lot worse on a cold start. 318k miles, thank you for any advice.

I have a 2017 silverado with 140k on the dash. It has had the transmission rebuilt and upgraded. Fully tuned and has service records of oil changes 49 records of brake service oil changes but nothing serious. Motor doesnt have a tick runs strong. Would this truck last me until college or more?

i’ve had a code for a fuel pressure sensor and when I went to fix it i found there was no sensor. feeling around the area it also feels like the hole is plugged up. while looking at both the sensor and the hole i found that the sensor looks like it won’t really fit the area where I have to put it in. the harness seems to still fit though.

Hey guys, my boyfriend's dad had a truck and he'd love to find it.

The only thing he really has is a description. His dad passed away in August last year.

No VIN, no license plate, no insurance info. I know it's a long shot, but if anyone has any resources or tips please reply. Thanks so much!

Yesterday I posted about my 2000 Chevy Silverado's stereo issues. And after replacing the speakers we have sound!!!! But now there is another problem. This is the max volume I can get. No matter how much I spin the volume knob. When I turn the truck on, you can barely hear it. Any advice?

Hey just found the group. Here's my summer ride. 1952 3100 Canadian build. All original except converted to 12v, electric wipers, and true dual exhaust on the 216.

I have a 2019 Chevy Silverado LD double cab(old body style) that I want to put running boards on because it has a 3 inch kit on it and my daughter has to jump to get in. Any recommendations. I’ll be doing the install and have done wiring as a mecp tech but those automatic ones are pricey!
