I have a 2000 silverado truck with a little over 100,000 - With in the
last few months it has had all sorts of issues. O2 sensor codes come
up. Delayed start and seems to putter at idle every so often. I heard
it could be as simple as a minor fuel FILTER change. Did that, and
still problems. Immediatly after that there is a loud rattleing noice
when the AC is on medium or high. It sounds like its in the dash
though. Any possibility these are related, I am guessing not. Side
note....the CD player steals my cd's . ARRRRR Irelevant but
irritating! :) Any advice which out paying over $500 at least to get
it lookes and and fixed.

Get the O2 sensor problem looked at. It could be causing idle problems.
Hard to tell about the dash rattle. Forget about your CD player, you need
a reliable vehicle to drive.

I'd do a fuel rail cleaning -- throttle body, fuel inj's, etc. This can
work wonders. Of course fuel filter, too. GL

That's good advice also. Maybe the OP will come back and read it :)
