Q: What system should i get for a 2005 Chevrolet silverado 1500 extended cab?
I just got my 2005 chevrolet silverado 1500 extended cab and im wondering what system i should get for it. I want deep bass and a good amp for a reasonable or low price. Any help is appreciated.

A: close your eyes and trust your ears. take your fave cd to the local car audio store and just take half an hour to listen to different models.

it depends how much you want to spend as well.

if you arent willing to fork out a few hundred then stick with factory. Competent installation alone will set you back at least 100 bucks for the simplest system.
the deck another 100+
and four (decent) spkrs 200+ ($120 rear6×9 and $ 60 front 5″

An amp another 100 + as well as extra installation.

grand total $500 minimum for a decent sound but to get the bass you hear in cars in traffic you are looking at thousands

Q: How to make a stock 1992 Chevy silverado 1500 faster?
Got a stock 92 chevy silverado 1500 for graduation. 5.7L V8, gas, automatic transmission, new engine, new radiator… What all can I do to make this truck faster/ more ballsy. It has a modified exhaust, but pipes are startin to rust so I think i should replace it. Any tips or good products to purchase?

Performance chip for the ECU

K&N cold air system with k&N air filter

Throttle body spacer

Aftermarket TBI intake

Aftermarket lager (600-670 cfm) throttle body

Full tune up, new plugs, wires, cap, rotor, etc

3.42, 3.73, or 4.10 rear gear ratio

2200-2600 rpm stall torque converter

Trans GO reprogramming kit for transmission

After that, all thats left is going inside engine.

Better flowing heads, bigger cam, more compression, etc etc

Q: I have a 1991 Cheverolet Silverado 1500 and my steering wheel is very loose and wiggly?
I have a 1991 chevy silverado 1500 and the steering wheel is very loose and wiggly, it is getting bad enough now that it is conflicting with the shifter, and it can sometimes be hard to turn because of it. Does anyone have any suggestions of what might be wrong or how to fix it?

A: If you have a tilt steering wheel, then the problem is a common one where the pins in the tilt mechanism come out…
most shops can take care of this easily without to much of a charge…. good luck

Q: Why does my 2001 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 have trouble starting?
I have a 2001 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LS with a 5.3L V8 and I am having trouble turning over my engine. Sometimes it will start without any problems and other times it can take multiple times.

A: get to auto electrician ask for a starter motor and battery check , or take the battery to a tyre shop to be checked if both are ok then you can look at any other possibilites as it,s a 2001 car it may be a good idea to get a cylinder compresion check, before you start changing lot,s of components

Q: Can a 1500 Silverado 2 wheel drive handle 7000 pounds of boat on the road and ramp?
I have a 2005 1500 Silverado with the factory tow package and am boat shopping now. I found a boat I like but with engine, full tank of gas, and misc items in the boat it will be pushing 7000 pounds. I can of course look up what the official trailering rating is, but I prefer voices of experience.

A: Okay, reality check here: Chances are that, NO, you cannot safely or legally tow that much weight without overloading your truck.
Here’s why:
“1 Maximum trailer weight ratings are calculated assuming a BASE vehicle, except for any option(s) necessary to achieve the rating, plus driver. The weight of other optional equipment, passengers and cargo will reduce the maximum trailer weight your vehicle can tow.”
Your max tow rating varies depending on what cab you have…regular, extended, crew, and what bed length you have.
So let’s say you have the one that’s rated for 7700lbs. Okay, that’s for the most base model you can get, plus a 150lb driver. Any weight you add to the truck itself takes away from the max trailer weight. Are you more than 150lbs? Anything over comes off your trailer max. Full tank of gas? Yep, add 6lbs per gallon and subtract from your trailer total.
Taking anyone to the lake with you? Subtract their weights. Cooler with ice and drinks? Gear? Options on the truck over what comes standard? Sunroof? Sliding rear window? Running boards? Bigger tires? Bed cap?
Yep, all of that takes away from the truck’s payload, and the trailer tow rating.

You cannot exceed any of these three numbers: GVWR, GCVWR, and Max Trailer Capacity.
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating is the max your truck is allowed to weigh, fully loaded.
Look in the driver’s door on the sticker and it’ll tell you how much that is. Curb weight on a 2wd runs from 4225 to 4986lbs for non-HD models. Again, that’s on a base model. Driver, Passengers, cargo, gas, tongue weight…all add to that weight. GVWR runs from 6100-6800lbs. Weigh yours as it sits, and you’ll know how much payload capacity you have left to go.

Gross Combined Vehicle Weight Rating is the max that truck and trailer are allowed to weigh. This is the one that’s going to get you, most likely. It’s either 12000 or 13000, again, depending on what exact truck you have.
So add your 7000lb trailer to even the most base-model truck’s curb weight at 4225 (and that truck doesn’t truly even exist in the real world) and you’re at 11,225lbs with no passengers, no driver, no full tank of gas, and no cargo, and not one single option on the truck.

So the moral of this story is, no truck can REALLY tow what it’s rated to tow by the factory if you do all the math. There are TONS of caveats and footnotes on all tow ratings, and if you read them, you’ll realize that factory tow ratings are bogus sales gimmicks.
Most professionals like myself recommend you don’t exceed 85% of the max recommended tow rating.

Can your truck physically pull this load? Yes. Will you be miserable doing so? Absolutely.
I personally have a 04 Z71 Suburban and pull a 22ft boat with it, and I wouldn’t go any bigger at all with this truck. And my Sub has at least the same tow rating as your truck, but my boat is nowhere near 7k lbs.

You need a bigger truck.

Q: What car seats are most compatible with my 2006 Chevy Silverado 1500 Ext. Cab?
I need some suggestions on what infant car seats (with the removable base) and what regular car seats are most compatible with my truck… a 2006 extended cab Chevy Silverado 1500. Thanks!

A: You can do a search in the car seat compatibility database link below. But the only way to know for absolute sure is to head to Babies R Us, and try some seats out. :)

One to note: you can not go wrong with a Britax Marathon/Decathalon/Boulevard. I have yet to hear of a car it didn’t work in b/c of the way the base is made, it fits in everything. Here’s advice on convertible car seats:

The Britax Marathon/Boulevard/Decathalon (These 3 are the same seat, just different variances of luxury additions, with the Marathon being the cheapest base model) can be found for regular price of $269, and on sale at Albee Baby online for $209-$219. The Marathon a wide open easy to route belt path, which makes using it correctly a lot easier, as do the built in lockoffs, which mean you never again have to use a locking clip. I can get it into 4 different vehicles in under 2 minutes. Because of the way the base is made, it fits in most cars. And, it is worth the money, b/c it lasts usually twice as long as most other car seats (all car seats expire 6 years after the date of manufacture) lasting a baby till they are 5-6 years old, where most at Walmart will only last till 2-4 years old. Rear faces to 33lbs, then forward to 65lbs. and top slots 17inches tall, lasts most kids to ages 5-6 years old.

The Recaro Como/Signo (Signo is the more expensive version) is a brand new seat, the Como is $249 with free shipping at many sites online. It rear faces to 35lbs, and front faces to 70lbs, and has top slots at 19inches, taller than any other convertible on the market, so this will outlast even the Britax Marathon, for a slightly cheaper price. Very plush seat, too. It even has the built-in lockoffs! They’re easy to install, like the Britax seats, and include infant and toddler padding. With the goals of rear facing as long as possible and staying in a harness as long as possible, this seat is great.

The Evenflo Triumph Advance (not the original Triumph, make sure it says Advance) is a great seat. $150 version at Babies R Us has padding similar to Britax seats, top slots of 17″, harnesses to 35lbs rear facing, and 50lbs forward facing. $120 Walmart version just has little less plush padding. Wide open belt path, easy to install, though it doesn’t have built in lockoffs. The harness adjusts at the front of the car seat, you don’t have to take the car seat out of the car just to raise/lower the straps. It’s one of only 2 seats that does this (The Britax Boulevard is the other, I believE), and it has infinite harness adjustment so the harness always fits perfectly until its outgrown. No more tugging straps to tighten them either. You tighten and loosen the harness using knobs on the side of the seat. As a major bonus, it can be used in a recline position even in forward facing mode. Awesome for kids who still sleep in the car. I LOVE THIS SEAT! LOL My son, who is too big for every other car seat at Walmart has the same amount of room in this as the Britax Marathon.

The Fisher Price Safe Voyage Deluxe Convertible seat is great, it is made by Britax, without all the frills. It’s the same shell as a Marathon, but for less than half the price. $130 at Albee Baby online with free shipping, or at their eBay name, babysurplus. Rear faces to 33lbs, forward to 55lbs. Easy to use, fits in most cars.

As for infant car seats, just make sure you get one with a 5 point harness. They are all pretty similar in fit and use. So just pick one that you like and will use correctly. Graco SafeSeat1 is a great choice, it goes up to 30lbs (all other infant seats only go to 20-22lbs) and has built in lockoffs.

Q: I have a 1999 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Z71 extended cab making strange noise?
My 1999 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Z71 extended cab is making a strange sound like a cracking, or tapping sound from underneath it but only when I accelerate from a complete stop. Can anyone help me with this please?
P.S. it is not the transmission because it was just replaced

A: Like a popping sound maybe? If it is a 4 wheel drive its probably the slip-yoke at the t-case output- you can lube the splines on the inside of the slip yoke and see if that helps- if it does but comes back- you need a new slip yoke- I am unsure if the 2 wheel drive has these problems or not but you can still try it and the same applies if lubing it helps you need a new slip yoke.

Q: What is the MPG on a 1993 Suburban 1500 Silverado 2 wheel drive?
I would like to know the average miles per gallon of a 1993 Suburban 1500 Silverado 2WD… it probably has about 140k miles on it now, but if I could have ANY input from y’all that would be great… It MAY be my showcar next year.

A: If it’s got the 5.7L V-8, I would suspect you would get around 12-14 give or take a couple depending on the condition of the motor. My 93 Silverado gets 11-13 as long as I don’t have my foot in it, but I’ve got a 4×4 with 33″ tires

Q: how do i change the spark plug in 03 silverado 1500?
is there any difference in my 03 silverado 1500 than previous models? if not can i just change the plugs and wires or would i need to change something else?

A: Plug wires are probably much shorter since they now use coil packs. Spark plugs are much more expensive since they are platinum.
Still located in same spot as older models.
