Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD - Answered Questions & Fixed Issues

Question edited for clarity. Question moved to model category. Did it have antlers? Did it go under the truck? My thought it that it either caused a fluid leak or it tore wires off the transmission casing. Transmission functions can be checked electronically with a professional grade scan tool computer. https://www.google.com/search?q=mobile+auto+electrician+near+me ..

"For an intermediate heavy-duty pickup, it's hard to go wrong with the Silverado 2500HD."

I would give a serious search for a major vacuum leak. Check around the intake manifold with an aerosol spay of starting fluid or a pentetrating oil. One of these will cause an affect of engine stumble or increase in engine speed. Check also all vacuum lines especially around the tree and all larger lines. Good luck my friend, Dana

I would change the fuel filter to see if this helps,if not,the fuel pump maybe at fault here.

I don't think you will know whats going on until someone takes the transfer case apart. It could be the shifter stuck in mid position and it is not completely in either position.

Steering and Brakes are totally unrelated. Steering wheel, steering pump, steering rack, wheels. Brake pedal, brake servo, brake calipers and discs. Take it to a garage. how power steering works https://www.google.com/search?q=how+power+steering+works How servo assisted brakes work https://www.google.com/search?q=how+power+assisted+brakes+works ..

It means you're tcm or tcm wiring is bad

Common problem on 2001 to 2004.5 LB7 engine but occurs when the problem is due to excessive internal leakage in your injectors dumping fuel back on the return line. Most shops change all injectors as bosch does not have a test to check each injector that will show leakage volume.

To start with, a Duramax Diesel runs on an excess of 20,000 Psi of fuel pressure. Unless you have some specialized equipment,(and know how to use it) I do not know how you could possibly tell that the fuel pressure is OK.Duramax Diesels also have had a lot of problems with glow plugs. This could explain why it will not start. Then again, it COULD be something totally different like a bad sensor. This could even be caused by a faulty fuel pressure sensor or a bad fuel pressure regulator.The best way to find out is to scan the engine computer for fault codes and read the engine data from the computer to see if all of the sensors are providing the correct input to the computer.

could be the alternator

YOUR ELECTRIC FUEL PUMP IS THE DIESEL INJECTION PUMP.

I NEED HELP AS TO THE DIRECT PROBLEM IVE BEEN GOOGLING past 2 weeks....not understanding exactly what I need to replace

The IPC displays the season odometer information from the BCM in the driver information center (DIC). The odometer will display an error if the IPC detects invalid odometer data from the BCM. You'll need to find a 10 AMP fuse in the instrument panel cluster, follow this diagram t locate it: https://ricksfreeautorepairadvice.com/2003-chevrolet-silverado-fuse-diagram/

Align the slim jim with the lock and push it downwards towards the keyhole.When you see the lock start to move, pull the slim jim upward slowly until the door unlocks.

It's on the bottom of the instrument panel fuse box. Look from under the dash, and you will see it.

There isn't much you can do unless you are willing to jack it up and remove the wheel. It might not be brake related, though the chances are it is. The ABS light is on because the system has discovered a fault and a locked up brake wouldn't usually register as a fault so you have to be open to the possibility something else has gone wrong and that means gaining access and using the evidence of an experienced pair of eyes with some initial hands-on checks.

This video will give you an idea on how to replace these connectors. Be careful not to damage the heater core tubes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UdppEfGLSzY

getting is repaired by mechanic is obviously very expensive I take help from online websites that have this service like helping in repair... some like reliable-store have instant help 24x7.. others are a bit slow which I don't prefer... rest is up to u.. U can also get free manuals

In my case, simply removing and reseating the IPC/DIC fuse restored the gauges to full functionality.

The TCM is located on the fan shroud on the driver side of the truck. Its underneath a plastic cover but it's very easy to find. It is held on with two bolts at the top.
