Engine misfires can be caused by many different problems and are generally caused by either a spark or fuel issue or in some cases, a combination of both. Spark related problems generally will result from things like ignition coils, crankshaft...
Hi O.S. Thanks for contacting us tonight. Assuming you've got everything properly aligned, lubricated and tightened to the recommended torque specs (and in the right order), then the only thing I can think is that you have something else in...
You will need to scan the theft system to check for codes and have the key in theft system tested and diagnosed. This may require the factory or equal scanner to diagnose the problem.
It is possible there is low compression in the misfiring cylinder due to a fault with the rings or valves in that cylinder. Another possible cause of this is a faulty fuel injector in that cylinder. Whatever the underlying fault...
Prior to performing diagnostics be sure you have a fully charged battery that passes a load test. Then, confirm that the engine immobilizer system (security system) is not activated thus preventing the car from starting. Be sure the keys are...
With a fully charged battery in good condition, and the immobilizer (security) system off (check to be sure the immobilizer is not active, inasmuch as you disconnected the battery), if the starter motor does not operate at that point, there...
It would be difficult to say for sure that the compressor is the issue without having it inspected by a qualified professional first. I would recommend asking to mechanic you are taking the vehicle to to give the AC system...
Applying the brakes may impact the oil pressure slightly as it induces a load on the motor, however this impact should be minimal. Either the motor is in fact low on oil, the oil pump could be failing or not...
The transmission has different clutch packs for different gears inside the transmission and you most likely have worn forward clutch packs. I would recommend having the transmission pressures checked and computer codes checked and also fluid checked for burned smell...
What you are describing sounds like the noise associated with hydraulic lifters which are a part of the valve train. In the mornings or when the engine is cold, the oil has had the chance, due to gravity to drain...
It sounds like you may have brake pad that may be wearing thin resulting in the wear indicators making the squeaking sound you describe. This may suggest that your brake pads are worn and due to be replaced or that...
Hi Ramiro. Thanks for contacting us today. In most cases, an inconsistent clunking sound like you are describing is caused by worn out bushings on steering stabilizer bars or other suspension / steering components. It's also possible that ball joints...
If you are referring to the pulley on the compressor clutch, that pulley rides on a pressed in bearing that can be replaced. Consequently, there is no need to replace the compressor, assuming that the compressor is not leaking and...
Hi Melvin. It's quite possible that you have broken a serpentine or drive belt on your Silverado. However, it's also possible that a drive line component may have also broken. The only way to know for sure is to have...
Hi There, The steam you are seeing coming from the motor should not be anything to worry about and is likely just related to the cool water being splashed up against a hot motor. Keep an eye on the engine...
Hi Jacob. Thanks for the question today. The brakes dragging could be from several causes. Most of the time, major brake components, such as the booster or master cylinder could have not been adjusted properly when installed. It is also...
Hi Eric. Thanks for contacting us tonight. A Reduced Power light usually indicates a fairly serious problem with the throttle system. When this light illuminates the vehicle will often go into a “safe mode”, which will severely limit the speed...
I would recommend looking in your owner's manual for language selection settings. If you cannot find this information there I would recommend calling your local Chevrolet dealer and speaking with them about this issue.
Hi Brandyn. Thanks for contacting us today. The compatibility of these two years brake calipers is not going to work. They have different off-set sizes and sensor configurations. If you have a 2009 Chevrolet 1500, you should only use the...
