Hello, does any one use a Silverado 1500 with a 5.3L to tow a R.V.
trailer? The reason I am asking is because I am thinking of buying one,
 possibly a couple of years old and would like to know what kind of gas
mileage to expect and general towing ability ect. Thank you Ed

I can set the time, and stations and everything works fine until I turn the
truck off.  Then I lose  everything.  Is there something I am supposed to do
to "Save" the settings?  Thanks

How do I daiagnose this code?
Does anyone have a trouble tree available?
Truck is a 1996 K3500(4X4) vin J 7.4l (454ci)
Thanks in advance.

Hey guys - I bought a 99 Z71 with the 5.3L and 4L60E.  It has the push
button 4X4.  It had 75K (miles) on the clock and now has 120K.  I've never
had any trouble at all but I'm wondering about the fuel pump and the relay.
I'm about to put 4,000 miles on a trip.  It seems that most ...

  I  have  a  96  Tahoe,  when  i  hit  a  small  bump  at  around
45mph  i'll  get  a  bad  shimmy,  does  not  do  it  all  the  time
but  i  want  it  fixed.
Any  idea  what  i  should  check  first?

I went to a tranny shop to get info about this and he said not to
worry until the "Check Eng." light comes on.  Is this correct, or does

Question I hope one of the Trans people might answer.
How can you tell if a tranny is suitable for use in a v-8 application.
My son had his tranny  (and motor) go out in a recently purchased 1989
350 4X4 Sliverado. He found a good used 350, but, the tranny he bought

I just bought a 96 Silverado and love it! But soon afterwards I found
the wipers wouldn't always work and had to drive my 71 Volkswagen
whenever it looked like rain!
Then I found the procedure posted by Jonathan Race and the commentary

Hi all...
I just had a new 350 put in my '86 K5 Blazer.  The old 305 had a blown
head gasket and a few other issues.  I dropped in a brand new 350
crate motor (290hp).
