This is my old truck. I figured someone here might enjoy it so wanted to give it a share. This was the Chandler Truck Accessories shop truck when I had it. That’s why the badge on the door. Happy to answer any questions if anyone has anything! Enjoy!

Hello everyone I posted this same video a couple weeks ago freaking out thinking my lifters were done because they are so common on these trucks.

I was almost certain that it was my lifters after talking to a mechanic and reading everything online. I was literally about to fully commit to the 6500 dollar AFM delete.

After doing a bit more of investigating myself because I found it weird that it would only make that sound at a certain temp and when I would hit the breaks….

IT WAS NOT LIFTERS.

These trucks have their own vaccum pump system for the breaks and when they start to fail they make a ticking noise that sounds a lot like lifters just like this.

Moral of the story, before breaking the bank to get new lifters or an AFM delete. I would definitely consider looking into your vaccum pump.

Bought my first new truck, with all the rebates and incentives I was wondering what people paid OTD for this truck/similar.

OTD was $49,500 which includes gap

Wanted to share. Recently got this 2017 z71 ltz.

Put in quite a bit of sweat equity so far. I'm proud of her.

All led lighting, glow, hidden strobes, Thermo bypass, oil separator, cold air intake, upper control arms, front and rear shocks, new running boards, 2 in lift, 1.5 in wheel spacers, norcal mod, fender flares with carbon fiber and new wheels from a '26 Colorado zr2

Just finished up the first few things. Ceramic tints, Ceramic coating, running boards, and de-badged. Love the White Sands paint color.

My dad is picking up a 2026 1500 high country this week and is wanting to add a bit more bass to it. I've been doing some searching for boxes and can't quite find an answer.

I am wondering if there is any pre-made boxes or anyone made a custom box to add in front of the factory storage under the seat, or if adding any box will require removing the storage. He definitely would like to keep the storage area if possible.

Is there a way to fix this or do I need to buy a whole new assembly?

I have a 2026 1500 rst. Stock. No level or lift.

Trying to see if anyone has experience with this tire size specifically since someone local is selling them.

2010 4.8L Sierra with 200k miles on it. Currently saving up for a new vehicle and am/was hoping to sell my truck on marketplace to help pay for it. How screwed am I in terms of value? Would it even be ethical to sell this truck to someone?

Stock antenna length on 15-18 1500s is 31”. Anyone know what equal length would sit flush with the shark fin?

I rough measured 22”?

Was wondering if I could get some help.
I have 06 Silverado 1500. It’s not primary vehicle so it sits often but not for longer than a couple weeks. Recently it started having an issue where I was rolling down the road and it shut off. I had to crank it a bit to restart. Fast forward to now battery was dead so I had it tested it was good charged it. Installed back in truck, truck started up after cranking a while it ran for about a minute then just shut off. No codes no antitheft light nothing. I then tried to restart and it would just crank and crank and crank. I tried starting fluid nothing.

I can hear fuel pump prime. Fuel rail shradder has 48psi and 58 psi when running. I put battery charger on it with 2 amp trickle charger for like 2 second and tried to start again and it started. It ran for a minute then shut off.

I then started it again and it started right up. Then I let it run for 30 min and it sat there and idled fine.

The next day I went out and started it and it started right up and ran and never shut off.

Today I started it up and went to drive ir and it died then started back up then died again.

No codes, fuel pump is priming has 48psi and 58 psi running. battery tested good, alternator had 14.55 vdc even with ac on I genuinely don’t know what the heck to do. How do I trouble shoot something like this. If I take it somewhere they will probably say it’s fixed and then it will do it the next day. Thanks in advance I’m just at a loss.

Trying to diagnose this new noise that started after replacing the knock sensors and oil pressure sensor. Truck is a 2004 GMC Sierra 1500, 5.3, 205,000 miles. The noise reminds me of the blend door actuator noise in a late 2000s Impala. It is coming more from the rear of the motor and seems louder when you get underneath it. It starts after about 2-3 minutes after starting the truck (cold or hot) and constantly makes the noise until 2500 RPM. When you idle down from there back to idle, it starts back up after a second or 2. Did not have a stethescope to use, but I used a screwdriver and could not hear the noise no matter where I poked. Also sprayed around the intake woth brake clean looking for a leak with no success.

2021 Silverado 5.3
Whenever I come to a slightly sudden stop or go over a large bump like a driveway, I hear this thumping sound from the left side near driver seat / under hood / driver side wheel. Any ideas what this could be, how to fix, or what to look for?

Hi

I’m just a girl lol what is this black piece under the dash of my Silverado? 2025. That port wire runs into that and then there are wires going up out of it.

I'm looking for exact position measurements for the rear bowtie emblem on the back of a 2024 Silverado Trailboss with Multi-Flex tailgate. Obviously it needs to be centred, but the vertical measurements are what I'm after (e.g., ___ " from the handle).

New to me 2011 K1500 Silverado...got most of the initial minor fixes/maintenance done now and quite happy with it, but I've not been able to figure out the courtesy dome light NOT coming on when the door is opened. Associated fuses all check okay, manual switches all illuminate lights when clicked. Even the little dash dimmer/OH dial does turn them on when twisted left. Probably something stupid but I'm still stumped LOL. Ideas? TIA

Recently it got a lot colder here in Texas and my truck starter to do this thing where when it’s started cold the RPM fluctuates a lot..after 1-2 minutes it ceases and everything operates normally…and if you were to put it in drive it would sort of jump forward because of that same RPM fluctuation.

I hooked up a scanner and got two PENDING codes. Is this most likely just an intake gasket that seals once the truck gets warmed up? It seems weird tho that BOTH banks are running lead when this happens.

Horn works fine from the steering wheel, all doors lock and unlock using the remote.

Had a cheap battery in it that was testing bad so thought that was the problem. Put in a new battery and that worked for about a month or so now it’s dying overnight. The alternator is working and when the truck is on is putting out 14.45v. Checking the drain when the truck is off leads to a reading of 0.004 amps. This seems way too low for a parasitic drain issue. Any thoughts?

When switching I’ve replaced headlights with wiring harness adapters. New grill. My promblem is I need to use my old front bumper or fascia and the air ducts under headlights is different. Are they a work around. Thanks

My 2015 Silverado has been having an intermittent starting issue, particularly after sitting unused for extended periods.

When I turn the key, nothing happens. No cranking, no clicking, nothing. Usually, after turning the key 3 or 4 times, it finally starts. Once it starts, I can shut it off and restart it without any issues.

I took it to my usual mechanic, and they diagnosed the problem as a bad starter. They quoted me $1,150 to replace it, which seems excessive.

The mechanic explained that they recommend using a name brand starter rather than a cheaper aftermarket one because they've seen the generic starters fail prematurely. I understand paying more for quality parts, but when I looked online, I found starters for around $350.

When I questioned the price, he explained that their labor rate is $200 per hour and the job takes approximately two hours. That's $400 in labor plus roughly $350 for the starter, bringing the total to around $750. Even accounting for taxes and additional fees, that's still a long way from $1,150.

Am I missing something here, or am I being overcharged? I've been going to this shop for a while, but this quote has me seriously considering finding another mechanic.

Thanks.

Hello all, this is my first time having a Silverado Texas Edition. What is this adblue next to the gas hole? How often do we put it in and where should I get it?
