Q: Does the 2004 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD have a recall on the speedometer and gas gauge?
My speedometer and gas gauge began to malfunction in Janurary 2010. The speedometer works occassionally. The gas gauge indicator, when the tank is filled, goes all the way straight down towards the floor and when about half of the fuel is used, it occassionally will adjust to the proper setting. The Chevrolet service manager stated concerning the gas gauge that it was not the gauge but was a problem within the tank and would cost a consider amount of money to fix as they would have to remove the tank.

A: HI!

You have NO Cable to operate your Speedometer. it is all electronic ( and i do not mean digital ! ) The Speed Sensor could not be at fault for this type of Problem either!

I have seen this Many Many times in Chevy , Gmc , Buick , Pontiac Etc vehicles. They even will warranty the cluster thru the dealership!!

The Problem lies in the Speedometer Cluster. These Clusters made after 2000 have Stepper Motors to drive ALL the gauges including the SPEEDOMETER ! The Tachometer and Speedometer are the Most prone to failure as they are used the most!

It is best to have the Instrument Cluster Removed and Repaired or Replaced. A junkyard Replacement is ok but make sure you get a guarantee.

I pull at least one cluster a week and repair them for this same sort of problem!

I would charge $160 to repair the cluster plus shipping.

I guarantee my work for 2 years.

I hope this helps Good Luck!

Q: 2500 Chevrolet Silverado or Limited Edition Toyota Tundra?
Which should I get a 2500 Chevrolet Silverado or Limited Edition Toyota Tundra?

A: I would avoid the Tundra altogether for two specific reasons… severe issues of corrosion of the frame and other structural components have become widely reported and with Toyota’s recent problems, the future resale value of the vehicle is likely to continue to depreciate at a rate FAR faster than any other similar truck regardless of the manufacturer.

While I’d certainly opt for a Ford Super Duty as my truck of choice, of the two you mention, I’d decide in favor of the 2500 hands down.

Best of luck. I hope this helps.

Q: are 2001 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 four by four or just a two wheel drive truck or both?
im buying this model truck but dont know if its 4*4 or 2 wheel drive its not listed

A: The 2500 came with either 2WD or 4WD. If there’s a picture, look at the fender behind the rear wheel. If it says 4×4, then there you go. If there’s no sticker, it still could be either. Wherever you’re buying it from, ask the person selling it, they should know.

Q: 2004 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 LT or LS whats the difference?

Q: 93 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4X4?
4 wheel drive went away slowly, I know there is a solinoid on top of the front differencial, where on top and what am I looking for?

A: on the right side of differential there’s an axle tube that goes to the right side half shaft, the 4wd actuator is on top of that tube, i believe in 93 it is still freon charged so it can go away slowly and when it is cold, just unplug the wire and unscrew, you can update to an electric actuator, but on some models you need to grind the axle tube a little

Q: 2004 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 – Do they have Cabin Filters?

A: yes they do. call a parts supplier and they can get one for you, most of them are easy to replace. your owners manual should explain it.

Q: Is the transmission the same in A 1997 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 vs a 2500?
is it the same transmission, or a upgraded transmission something stronger?

A: The 1500 series trucks (5 and 6-lug wheels) used a 4L60E.
The 2500 series trucks (8-lug) used a 4L80E.

No they are not the same. The 80E can be placed in a half-ton truck (it will bolt to the engine), but you need to change computer parameters and the wiring harness. You can change the wiring harness and have the computer flashed. The 80E is a little bit longer, and you will need to modify the crossmember for mounting and shorten the rear driveshaft (also lengthen the front d-shaft if 4wd).

The 80E is stronger than the 60E. It (80E) was used in the heavier duty trucks and SUVs.

Q: fuel filling problem and engine light (code po446) on a 2004 Chevrolet silverado 2500 HD?
2004 chevy 2500 hd, has a hard time filling the gas tank. the pump keeps shutting off, like it thinks the tank is full. The engine light was on also. it gave a code for a small evap leak, so I used a smoke tester to find the leak. Nothing. I had changed the fuel tank pressure sensor. I figured that if the sensor was bad it would make it hard to fill and would throw the evap code. The light staid off for 3 days, but the filling problem was still present. Now the light is back on with a po446 code for fuel tank vent performance. I hooked up the computer and watched the data stream, it showed at an idle the purge valve was open and the vent closed. I thought it was supposed to be the other way around. I think the purge valve is bad, but want some input before spending $200
*it has a new cap
It has a new. The filling problem has been happening for some time. We’ve tried many different pumps and stations.
I did say the p0446 was for the vent performance. I checked the hoses when I had the tank partially down to change the pressure sensor.

I also found the TSB for the truck. Thing is when I talked to the Chevy dealer in town they said they haven’t dealt with any problems with hard filling. Their only advise was to try a different pump. Thank you GM!

A: This is a common problem on this model and GM has a Technical Service Bulletin out to fix it.
The vent solenoid and valve can become clogged with dust and dirt and cause them to fail. This is why it’s hard to fill, when you’re putting fuel in there’s nowhere for the air to go.

The T.S.B. # is 02-06-04-037C

For your 2004 model you will need to contact your dealer and ask for update kit part #19152349
And you will also need about 3 feet of bulk 3/4″ hose and 2 hose clamps

The repair is simple, remove the old vent solenoid assy which is simply clipped to the rear of your fuel tank and replace it with the one from the kit. Then use the bulk hose and filter supplied in the kit and route it over the tank and to the evep canister and secure it with tie straps. Then go to whoever read your code and have it cleared.

Note: there are more detailed instructions in the kit.

Best of luck!

Q: 2001 Chevrolet Silverado oil consumption?
My family owns a 2001 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD with the 6.0 liter Vortec engine. It has 64,000 miles on it with 5W-30 oil. The oil was changed at 60,000 miles and in 4 months it burned 1 and a 1/2 quarts of oil. We also towed a car for about 1,000 miles during that 4 months. Is all this normal or is there a problem? Thanks

A: Yes, it’s very normal for GM V8 cars to burn oil. You find this common in the “LS Series” motors. Ex. LS1, & LS6. You motor being a 6.0 is part of this series. Back in 2001 the Chevy Z06 vette had a major recall with the Z06 motor needing to be “re-ringed” to help reduce that oil consumption. I also recall that many of the 2000 thru 05,06 cadillacs like STS’s have a oil consumption issue, it’s something you need to keep an eye on especially when towing, the motor is working much harder and is consuming more oil.

My 2001 LS6 Z06 burns oil as did my 1997 STS, and my brother 1998 LS1 firebird did. Only cars that didn’t have an issue were our 1994 & 97 LT1 f-bodies.

Q: Chevrolet or Ford – Half-Ton (1500) and 3/4 Ton (2500)?
I’m getting a new truck, so which do you guys prefer out of the two brands of Pickup?

Chevrolet: Silverado__
1500
2500-HD

Ford: F-Series__
F150
F250

A: I, myself personally, am a Dodge 2500 Turbodiesel fan, but it’s not me buying the truck.

Half-ton, I’d go with the Chevy 1500. Both have won numerous awards, but the Chevy is newer, with a much better frame, and the engines alone are the reason to get this truck. More power and torque than Ford’s 5.4L Triton out of the Vortec 6.0L. And Chevy’s engines have Variable Valve Timing, so more power than Ford’s V8, and better fuel economy than Ford’s V8.

However, 3/4-ton, gotta go with a Ford F250, and I beg you to get the new twin-turbodiesel V8. Torque, hauling, and towing are off the chain dude. And you can’t go wrong with that new front end on the F250. SWEET.

Chevy Silverado 1500. Ford F250. Those are my choices. You’ll have to choose based on your daily needs.

Congrats on the purchase.

Q: Chevrolet Silverado and Toyota Tundra Truck Question Please Help?
For the Chevrolet Silverado what is the difference between the 1500, 2500, and the 3500 and which one do you like more? and what kind of truck should I get a Chevrolet or a Toyota Tundra?
Also for the chevrolet Silverado what is the difference between the WT, LT, and the LTZ?
I do not want a ford or any other truck I specifically said Chevrolet and Toyota

A: WT, LT, and LTZ are different trim levels.

WT ( work truck) is the base trim.
LT is a higher trim level.
LTZ is the top trim with leather, power this, power that….

1500 = 1/2 ton
2500 = 3/4 ton
3500 = 1 ton

They tell you the payload.

They originally indicated the maximum payload of the vehicle, however modern pickups can typically carry far more than that.

The Tundra and the Silverado 1500 are excellent 1/2 trucks. I would suggest you drive both. The truck market is more competitive than ever. People tell you “Toyota can’t make a real truck” or “American trucks are made like crap” are fanboys. I’ve driven every truck on the market. They’re all impressive and have tons to offer.

Q: I need tax help to determine the appropriate method of depreciation, What is the wt. of Silvarado Crew 2500?
What is the dry weight of a 2005 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD 2 WD Crew Cab? It has a Vortec 6000 gas engine and has an added towing package. The truck bed is 8 ft.

A: Your license application will show that info. For more, see a dealer or call the DMV of the city your in.

Q: 2005 Chevrolet 2500 6.0 bad oil pump common or not?
I have a 05 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD with 50K miles. I had the oil changed on Saturday and this morning while driving to work the oil pressure went down to zero and the engine started making a “knocking” sound. I had it towed back to the place where they changed the oil and the mechanic there told me that he’s 100% sure it’s the oil pump. He also said that this is a common problem for these engines and the at he has replaced quite a bit of them. He told me he would have to replace the oil pump and the lifters. Has anybody had an issue with these oil pumps? Is it a common problem? I would appreciate any feedback thanks.

A: Well im a car dealer and have not see this unless the oil has not been changed like it should have been 3000 miles and sludge build up plugged the screen and pump.
