2006 Silverado SS. Mine has a 4.8L but I cant find any sources that say they even have that option? Is it real?

oudrumr — Tue, 29 Jan 2008 19:49:24 GMT

I cannot find anywhere that says Chevy even gave the option of a 4.8L SS model Silverado in 2006. It has the SS markings, all the options (all leather SS interior, SS decals on doors, wood grain dash, sunroof, 20" wheels, spray in bedliner, etc.) Is this really a SS or did someone spend a lot of money to fake one? I hope it's real cause I just bought it!

New starter, new battery, now what? Chevy Silverado won't start.

My 98 Chevy Silverado 100,000 miles suddenly didn't start. It clicked once every time we turn the key. We put a new battery in and a new starter. The starter checked out ok at the shop. We cleaned the battery terminals ran a wire from positive down to the starter no luck. What is going on?

I once owned a 1967 Chevelle SS396. I traded it in in 1969. How can I see if this vehicle is still around and where?

In 1967 before being discharged from the Air Force I purchased a 1967 Chevelle SS396.i drove it home to Ma. and had it registered in Ma until 1969 I then traded it for a Nova.I have regretted it ever since.I would like to know if:

1. does the vehicle still exist?

2. where is it.

3. Is it for sale. How can I trace this vehicle I have the serial #, but when I put it in online for a car history report it won't take the serial # it is too short.

2000 Silverado/5.3 V8 to start it the key has to be turned on for 2 or 3 sec. Replaced the fuel pump ???

jd723 — Sun, 24 Feb 2008 05:46:18 GMT

The check engine light is on, and when it is scanned the only thing it comes up with is the gas cap is loose. It was replaced too. I replaced the fuel pump thinking it was not holding the pressure after the motor is shut off...or not building the pressure fast enough when the key is turned on.
But if I hesitate (2 or 3 seconds), before turning the key to start, the motor fires right up. Oh yea, the fuel filter has been replaced...before the pump was. I've tried high octane gas from major oil companies...no change. I've had this truck for over 1 1/2 years, and its been like this all along. I'm used to starting it like this, but I'm tired of it. Any help will be great, and Thank You

How do I stop inside tire wear on an 07 Chevy Silverado Classic?

skirider70 — Tue, 28 Oct 2008 07:10:53 GMT

The drivers side tire is wearing about twice as fast as the passenger side. It is just the inside shoulder of each tire. I just put new bridgestone tires on it 6 months ago and I have had it alligned twice since then. Over half the tread is gone where it is wearing. The shop said they cheked out the suspension parts and could not find anything wrong and just told me to keep an eye on it. The tires are still wearing in the same place.

I have '01 Chevy Silverado v6 and it has low vibration coming from below the truck at 1200rpm only. Any ideas?

twochevies — Wed, 24 Dec 2008 12:06:54 GMT

i bought it with 90000 miles and it was owned by a gm mechanic before me(im the second owner) and the dealer and a seperate mechanic convinced me it wasnt the tranny. someone else that looked at it told me it was coming from the catalytic converter but that didnt make sense to me because i cant get the vibration if i rev the motor in park. i only notice it when im cruising @41-43mph and when i start it up and put it in drive and very slowly accelerate. I take very good care of my cars and the truck now has 127,000 miles on it. Ive had it for two years and i guess it hasnt caused any other problrms its just annoying

Differential leak one month after service. GMC Sierra 1500.

nickmasloski — Mon, 04 May 2009 20:36:54 GMT

2005 Sierra 1500 with 54000 miles. Taken into GMC dealer service shop about two months ago for the differential fluid drain and replace service.

Last week I noticed oil leaking from somewhere. I couldn't pinpoint the leak so during oil change the same service techs said it was the differential pinion seal.

I estimate the leak to be about 3 to 4 weeks old by the amount of oil under truck and in driveway and street. Is this something possibly caused by the service tech by over filling or not possible?

2000 Chevy Silverado when I try to restart it, sometimes it won't start for 5-10 minutes. Think it may have something to do with security system.
