Fans failure

Chevrolet Silverado 2010  64000 miles
My van's fans are suddenly turned on and the temperature's pressure gauge is disabled. On top of that, a script warns that there is an engine overheating. The thermostat and temperature sensor were replaced, it worked better for two months but the problem is now back. What might it be?

Do you know whether your new temperature sensor is a good quality one? Nowadays there are many of them out there that are cheaper but only last for some weeks, or in the best of the cases months. You should check this first of all.

Flashing engine light

Chevrolet Silverado 2005 2005 v8 5.3l at  207000 miles
Running rough. Feels like fuel filter. Or pump. Are both in my gas tank? Or could this be a sensor?

Multiple Misfire if check engine light flashes. Sounds like either worn spark plugs, plugged injectors. Pull the plugs and change them first and wires first to see if it clears it up. If not run fuel injector cleaner thru it

Engine power loss

Chevrolet Silverado 2003  197900 miles
Hi, I've been noticing some engine power loss in my van lately. I've change the air filter, its holder's lid where the sensor is located, I've cleaned the sensor's wet connection and the vehicle keeps failing. I have then disconnected the negative pole for a while and the problem was temporarily solved. After turning the engine on and off, the failure returned and now there is nothing I can do to take it away. Can someone give me any idea or solution? Thanks!

The same occurred to me and the problem was some poor contact in the battery's terminals. Clean them and it should be solved.

In my case it was the TAC module which is close to the hidrovac or brake booster. I recommend you to scan your vehicle and check if any failure is provided by the scanner.

2007 Chevy Silverado bucking after warm-up when shifting gears (no cod

Chevrolet Silverado 2007  200000 miles
Have a 2007 Chevy Silverado and I’m dealing with a bucking/jerking issue when driving. When I first start the truck cold, it runs fine with no problems. But after it warms up, it starts bucking, especially when shifting gears or accelerating. There are no check engine lights and no transmission codes showing. I’ve already tried unplugging the purge valve — when unplugged there’s no suction, but when plugged back in it pulls suction like normal. The truck idles fine and can cruise at highway speeds (70–75 mph) without major issues, but the problem shows up more during acceleration or gear cha… Read complete

I have the same issue on my 2015 5.3L 4x4. Was going down the road a month ago in 2 wheel drive but had used 4 wheel drive a few times the hour before hand. I get to a stop sign at the top of a hill and start to take off when the truck struggled to take off. RPM's go up but truck didn't move much. I guess the slop of the hill got me rolling to the correct speed limit but once I slowed down for a curve I pressed the accelerator & it was like the transmission was out. The truck had no pulling power. RPM's went up but no acceleration. Then I received a low tire message. I pulled over aired the tire up, locked in 4 wheel drive hi & drove on home. Have since drove the truck but am scared it's going leave me stranded or worried I'm just going to make the issue worse by driving it. It does the rough shifting only after it's warmed up on occasion. Is the transmission going out? Did the 4 wheel drive not disengage & it have a safety something where the tire was so low? Is it a sensor, torque converter, etc making it shift crazy? If anyone could help me with this I'd appreciate it. This truck was once my deceased son's truck that I bought back from someone after he passed & I want to have it in the best working condition. It has 104k miles on it now. Thanks in advance & have a blessed day. P.S. I have a Bully Dog tuner on it and it reads no diagnostic issues or codes.

Crash indicator light stays on

Chevrolet Silverado 2023 1500 ZR2 62000 miles
The crash indicator light stays on, there is no obstruction on windshield in front of the sensor. This disables crash warning as well as auto dimming headlights and drive assist functions.

Adaptive cruise control unavailable

Chevrolet Silverado 2022 5.3l v8 ltz z71 68000 miles
Got in my vehicle and the adaptive cruise control unavailable light popped up along with saying the collision sensors are unavailable. I’ve cleaned the camera and turned it off and all the suggestions I found online. It’s been doing this for two weeks now.

Backfired and died now won't start

Chevrolet Silverado 2004 1500 4.3l 2wd 25000 miles
My truck backfired and died while in motion, it restarted after a minute but i drive another mile and stopped and turned it off and now it will not start. It turns over strong, had fuel coming thru the fuel rail, i just replaced the ignition control module, the ignition coil, the distributer cap, the rotor, and the cam shaft position sensor after this happened a week ago and a week before that as well.
When i add fuel in the carb manually it still won't even fire. What could be the problem?

Cutting off

Chevrolet Silverado 2000 5.3 v8 219000 miles
I’ve been working on this truck for a while now and I’ve managed to fix all problems that my check engine light reports. There is no longer any check engine lights but I’m still experiencing some problems. When ever I’m in a parking lot about to reverse park, my truck will suddenly cut its self off. I am also experiencing some poor engine responses as well as delayed acceleration. I’ve replaced spark plugs/wires, all O2sensors, EGR value, air filter, and gas filter also have done a gas treatment.

Engine goes into limp mode

Chevrolet Silverado 2009 5.3L crew cab  149000 miles
My ABS and traction control lights come on the the truck goes into limp mode. But it does not give a check engine light. I have replaced the accelerator pedal sensor once before. I believe it could be the wheel speed sensor

Brake lights have a mind of their own.

Chevrolet Silverado 2015 silverado 2500hd 6.0 gas crew cab ltz 180000 miles
Noticed brake lights going on and off while driving while driving for the first couple miles and then they go back to normal operation. Only noticed this once the weather got cold. Then a new symptom developed as the brake lights come on while the truck is off and stay on long enough that it killed the battery. I replaced the brake pedal position sensor and re-calibrated it. Did not fix it. Got another one and did it again just in case. Same problem. No change. Truck is parked for the winter so if anyone has any ideas it would be great to get it fixed before spring.

Hesitates to start after sitting over night

Chevrolet Silverado 2011 Chevy silverado 1500 5.3l  130000 miles
Let me start by saying I replaced mass air flow sensor and fuel pump so far but the issue still occurs when I start the truck in the mornings it acts like it's not getting enough fuel but once it's started it idles and runs just fine if I start it soon after it starts fine as well only does that after a few hours of sitting. Anything you all recommend to check other than fuel injectors as those are gonna be tested today?

TCS/thermostat

Chevrolet Silverado 2014 crew cab, 5.3, LT 160000 miles
Good day, I have had to replace CTS(coolant temperature sensor) (several times) and thermostat(once) in order to stop my radiator cooling fans going off full blast and not turning off after shutting engine off. I have enough coolant; truck does NOT have relay for fans, it has fuses, and they are good. Please advise at convenience and thank you.

04 silverado

Chevrolet Silverado 2004 Ext cab 5.3L  100000 miles
Hey guys, were having some issues sith our 2004 5.3L silverado. Rear end blew 4 days ago, chamged that. Now since than its been reving and lagging when it shifts gears, and wont shift into OD/4th gear. Its got the 37:3 gear ratio for the rear end and. Now today, as we were pulling it out of the yard (it was still in first at the time) something make a loud TING CLANK sound and all of a sudden we have nothing but 1st 2nd and reverse gears. Not sure if this issue is due to a sensor, or if the tranny/ transfercase is not shot after the rear end let go last week. Any help is very appreciated. Im at a loss and this truck is becoming my worst nightmare. Thanks!!
