OIL LIGHT STAYS ON AFTER OIL CHANGE AND I DON'T HAVE THE OWNERS MANUAL TO GET THE RESET CODE

Try this. With the key on and the engine not running push the gas peddle to the floor and release it three times then hold it to the floor until the oil light flashes. This should reset the oil indicator light. It should not take more than about 20 or 30 seconds.Good luck.

2000 silverado will start but wont stay running just dies.

I also agree it sounds like a fuel pump issue. Its easiest to remove the box (6 bolts {need impact wrench} disconnect wires at plugs and disconnect gas filler hose) and lift box up. A hoist is easiest but 6 people can lift it easily. The fuel pump can easily then be replaced. Takes about 1 1/2 hrs. to do entire job this way and its so much easier!
Good Luck!

Will not stay running

is it sputtering and if you tap the gas, will it stay running? if so, it is probably a cover on the hose that runs to the air intake it is a part you get at the dealer, or you can use duct tape to cover it and it will work until you get the part.
