i wanna think its the coil but i know its not.... if there is or isnt spark the damn pump doesnt stay on.. actually yeah.. i got a aftermarket stereo in it.. but thats a hole other thing right???? i mean its got its on fuse and stuff.. and the only prob i heard with changing the stereo is that the airbags wont work... not the pump i mean you can only hear the pump turn on for one second then back off.. my other silverado i can hear the pump without getting next to the truck yeah, theres no check light.. it has to be fuel related.. maybe electricl... the shrader valve?? "reduced engine power" mode????? i havent washed my engine yet... i've wiped it down... just check the connectors for the TB? i cleaned out the TB for the hell of it... actually guys i have to be honest here.... my trucks are only silverados not SS... i wish!!!!! i will have one...... one day i dont know where else to go for help.. i would think fellow silverados people on here will help me out.. i actuall got 01 03 silverados.. 4.8L 1500 2WD EXT. cab both under 100 K miles sorry guys for saying i got a SS hook up a test light to each spark plug wire? un-plug from spark plug and put in the test light in the wire? then crack / try to start? for each wire? what if i get a mutl-meter thing and hook that up for readings voltage or something? the 03 silverados pump stays on for maybe 10 second or more.... the 01 silverado just turns on for one second then back off.. and to that i have to play with the keys turn on and off 3-5 times before i hear anything from the pump to turn on.. thats what i was thinking a coil prob but then the check light would come up... it has to be electrical or fuel related stopping the truck from starting

i also replaced the relay for the pump with another relay from anpther silverado

no check lights on whats the connector look like or color?

it doesnt turn on.. if i turn on and off the key maybe 3-5 times in a roll fast... i can hear the pump turn on.. and i disconnected the inlet fuel line for the filter and seen fuel come out when i get the pump to turn on but the pump doesnt still on... on the other silverado i can hear the pump just standing next to th truck thats is my guess as well.. the coil but how would i go about testing that? i got the starting spray and the truck almost started 2 times but didnt... its got about 99702 miles on it i think the pump turns on for a second but back off.. it wont stay on and to that the pump wont turn on every time i turn the key to the ON position ok i got the new pump in but still doesnt turn on!!!!!!!!!!!!! i cleaned the ground for the tank the pump has a new connector on it (it came with a plug) what about the mass air sensor? does silverados come wih it? give me some commons on what i should check / test please people!!!!!!!!!

i had jsut put in 20 bucks in gas.. there should be enough gas... i was just driving and it dies... any other ideas on what to check (easy stuff?))

ok people, i need help!! i need to fix my truck today this morning my truck just died.. i was driving along and then i press the gas more down and my truck just dies.. once i'm off to the side of the road i try to re-start the truck and it just turns over.. (cranking) acting like it wants to start up but something is stopping it from starting i know its not the battery, the alt, starter... but what could stop it from starting??????? does the fuel pumps go out often on these trucks?? maybe a sensor keeping it from starting? you guys got any ideas that i should be looking at????? any help please!!!

Update: about a week ago my speedo stop working and now the miles arent working... is this normal? i mean i read alot of the other threads on speedo and the oil gauge or whatever is the next one to go how much do the panel clusters change between the years????????? i mean if i got a 03 cluster and put it on a 01, would it work???? or put the 01 cluster on the 03? i dont have warranty... i read on another thread one of you guys called a number that in the bac of the manual what is the number??? WHAT WOULD CAUSE THE CLUSTER TO STOP WORKING????????? this sucks that all you guys and myself are having this prob.. IS THERE SOME KINDA RECALL OR SOMETHING?????????????

what?????????????????????????????

ok so heres the story 2 or 3 weeks ago i installed this SONY cdx-m8800 cd player just a standard deck and everything was great!! nothing stop working .... but the memory wouldnt work or something so i left it only untill yesterday now yesterday i checked the wires which on had volts with key off and on and found two different wires one read 4-5 volts with key out and 10v with key on and the second wire showed .80 volts off and 12.5v with key on with these two wires together the stereo holds memory for about 5 minutes and im back at square one... with the stereo not holding memory but before i put everything back together i, by mistake touched the power wire with the ant. wire and blew the stereo fuse... changed out the fuse and everything worked.. or at least i thought it did.. so this morning i took off and noticed my speedo didnt work everything else did gas, oil, volts but not the speedo i was looking at the speedo and it moves maybe a 1/4 of a inch up when i turn the key to the "ON" position and then back down 1/4 of an inch whyen i turn it off i searched and found a couple of ways to go by fixing it updating the software buy a new cluster or send it in to some guy on ebay and get ir repaired but i read most of the other post on here and you guys speedos stop working and stay stuck at 30-50 MPH mine is just stuck at zero and others with incorrect speed reading but mine doesnt move at all LOL i hit it and it move but just barely i need help but ont wanna spend a arm and a leg on this im thinking of going with the guy on ebay cuz he gives a one year warranty but have any of you guys tired him out??????? is there any kinda fuse to fix this????????

lol thats kinda sneaky i wanna fix it tho.. i dont wanna get a speeding ticket

a old sony m800 or something i forgot the model... standard deck.. im actually having problems with the memory on that stereo. i cant seem to find the memory wire on the trucjk... i found that its green but theres like 3 different green wires on mine

why y???????? it was working before after i installed the stereo did i have to connect a wire or something

what color is the memory wire for the stereo?????

is there any fuses or something that would cause a speedo not to work????? any what color is the wire for memory to connect a stereo??????????

you guys use labtops for your patrol cars?.. cool.. the computers we use are mounted in the trunk then a 10inch screen with keyboard up front with tthe screen mounted right in front of the factory stereo thats what i was reffering to.. the verizon aircard thing.. works great be on the web doing whatever you want... need direcrtions and dont have GPS.. MAPQUEST.COM dont feel like messing around with your cds... just play music off the computer(hard drive) lol fax from the car print pictures LOL i would take the computer setup over a aftermarket stereo anyday.. i mean if you got a indash 7 inch tv cool but your kinda limit on what you can add.. unless you add a computer to it but then you'll be adding to the cost
