Q: What are some of differences between the GMC Sierra and a Chevrolet Silverado?
Like performance wise,looks,cost? And like GMC has a truck called Sierra Denali but does Chevy have on similar to that?

A: G6er: There was never a Cobalt GT.

For the most part, the Silverado and Sierra are the same. The Sierra is generally more upscale than the Silverado, but nonetheless uses the same drivetrain and many body parts. The only difference looks-wise is the badging, front end and wheels. The GMC does cost more than the Chevy as well, and has a more upscale interior. Performance is similar, but as you mentioned GMC has the Sierra Denali, which is akin to the Silverado LTZ.

Q: Can you give me the blue book value of a 1983 Chevrolet Silverado?
This truck is not running- so I know it is worth far less than the actual blue book value- but I am just curious to see what the regular value would be. I tried looking on Kelly Blue Book but it does not go before 1988. Thank you for your help.
I’m sorry, it is not a Silverado, it is a pickup.

A: well if its not running hard to say but junk prices vary 120 bucks maybe more .. call a salvage yard and ask them how much would they pay for a non running 83 Silverado so why didn you just go with what a non running 88 would be

Q: Anybody know how to program a keyless entry for a 1998 chevrolet silverado?
Says it has it, I have the remote with a new battery, but still doesn’t work.

A: the remote will need to be programmed.
key in the OFF position
you need a jumper wire between pin 4 & 8 of the DLC connector (data link connector). under the dash drivers side.
the horn will chirp confirming programing mode and the the receiver will respond by locking and unlocking the doors.
press and hold the transmitter lock and unlock buttons simoultanously for about 10 seconds
the door locks will again cycle letting you know that the programming is complete.
if you have a second remote, repeat the above step.
when done remove the jumper wire , turn the ignition ON then OFF…..done.

Q: Replacing the windshield washer resevoir on a 2000 Chevrolet Silverado pick-up?
I need to know what has to be removed to get to the resevoir. It is located underneath the battery holder.

A: You will need 8mm -15mm sockets and possibly a phillips screw driver
Disconnect your battery and remove it,
then grab a 14mm socket,(I think dont hold me to that one) and pull out your battery tray.
The resovoir is either held in by a couple (phillips) sheet metal screws or a couple of metric metal screws(10mm or 13mm)
It’s a pretty easy swap and if you careful and patient you should have no problems.
One more tip check your battery tray for corrosion and if you see some hit it with a wire brush and shoot some rust inhibiting black (rust-o-leum) paint before putting it back.
Hope this helps, (and I was right about the sizes, LOL)
Good luck

Q: Why does my 1988 Chevrolet Silverado 350 TPI engine stall when I come to stop lights or stop on a hill?
My truck has well over 150k on it and it has been doing this for a little while. Now I think it’s worse and I’m scared to take it across town with it behaving this way. Any ideas?

A: One thing that is common on this truck as they are getting some age on them now is Low pick-up coil output that will make it stall on deceleration to verify this you need to check the pick-up coil… Remove the distributor cap and rotor. Disconnect the pick-up coil from the ignition module and connect a DVOM set on AC volts between the Green and White wires. With the battery fully charged and the starter in good working order, crank the engine over and verify that the AC voltage from the pick-up coil is greater than 0.7 (700 milli volts) volts AC. If not, check the resistance across the pick up coil wires. It should be 750-950 ohms and not shorted to ground. Verify there are no cracks in the magnet (reluctor) on the shaft. Check the connection at the module for signs of corrosion or deterioration. If the pick-up resistance and output is within specification and the pick-up is in good condition, replace the distributor shaft, it has a weak magnet.

Q: I have a 79 Chevrolet Silverado with tranny problems?
It has a turbo 350. I can’t get third gear, and when I put it into reverse, sometimes it goes, but it jumps into gear, and other times it does not go at all. What would cause this, and can it be fixed?

A: Both reverse and high gear in the th350 use one of the same clutch packs. It is reparable by having the transmission rebuilt by a reputable shop. But before you do, check your transmission fluid. If this is OK, then get 3 or 4 estimates on the rebuild along with the warranty from each place before you choose where to have it fixed.

Q: Where is the computer located on a 2002 chevrolet silverado?

Q: What does the service 4 wheel drive light mean in a 2001 Chevrolet Silverado?
