Chevrolet Silverado 1500

Are you looking for a 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LS?

Q: Will 15″ Subs fit in my Chevrolet Silverado 1500?
I have a Chevy Silverado 1500 2-Door Truck. It’s a 2000 and it has very limited space behind the seat (i.e. there is no backseat) and my question is, I know of plenty of people being able to fit 12″ Subs in there car, but upon building a custom box, would 15″ in subs fit in the back?

A: yes build a three sided box to the sub specs you can only use 1 sub, also liquid nail this enclosure to back of the cab but you also need to put Dyna mat on the cab wall behind the sub i have seen this done in a buddy’s truck and it turned out pretty good all though you can’t hardly remove it because the liquid nail is tuff as hell and you question use only 1 sub well i promise you if it is done right and sized right and it is a good quality sub you won’t be able to sit in it

Q: How do I turn the headlights off and only the parking lights on in a 2000 Chevrolet Silverado 1500?
I have a 2000 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 pickup truck and at night time the automatic headlights turn on. Once they come on, i have no control over my headlights. I can turn the switch to full headlights or just parking lights and nothing happens. In order for me to cut the headlights and just go to parking lights, i have to turn the truck off. Is there a way to set it so that even after the auto headlights take over, i can turn on ONLY the parking lights?
i wanna turn my lights off because we move cars around my driveway when me and my parents come home from work and i need to sit there with my lights off so i dont blind the other cars moving. and i dont wanna be turning my car on and off over and over just to move it.

A: 2 ways i can suggest

one is slightly apply the emergency brake while in park not enough to hold the truck but enough to keep the lights from coming on then pull in gear and move it

another and i am not 110% positive it worked on the 2000 model trucks but does on newer ones is push your dome light button next to your headlight switch that keeps it from on when you open the doors…..you have to cycle the button in then out 4 times so actually you should press it 8 times and there should be a ding and they turn off….however once you cut the car off then back this function is reset so you will have to do it again

Q: how to lubricate the rear axle of a 1994 chevrolet silverado 1500?
the rear end is doing this roaring

A: The banjo should have a plug on it, probably on the top. Just pull that plug (unscrew it) and add the appropriate amount of rear axle lubricant). Make sure you add the proper type of lubricant or you’ll really have a roar – for about a hundred miles, if your’re lucky – then you’ll have a seized rear end!

If there’s no plug, you’ll need to have the dealer do it because the rear end has to be separated, which means you’ll probably need at the very least a new gasket or seal installed as well as the lubricant.

Q: Will the factory radio on an 02′ Chevrolet Cavalier be compatable with an ‘01 Chevrolet Silverado 1500?
I am getting a new CD deck installed in my car and wondered if the radio in my Cavalier could be installed into my Dad’s Silverado, since they are around the same year and made by Chevy. His doesn’t have a CD player, and he just discovered that those are things, so…

A: They are definitely not interchangeable, or even the same size. The Cavalier radio works with commands from the vehicle’s data bus system; it won’t work without it. In fact, it won’t even work in another Cavalier of the same year unless you have it reset by a dealer, because it recognizes the original vehicle VIN through the data bus system.

The Silverado didn’t start using a similar radio system until the 2003 model year. There’s no way you’d be able to make the Cavalier radio work in a 2001 truck.

Q: What size rim can i put on 1997 Chevrolet : Silverado 1500?

A: 20″, but you have to have some pretty low-pro tires

Q: On 1994 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Z71 5.7L where is the actuator located on the unit?
i need to find out were the actuator is located because my 4 wheel drive wont go into gear all the way or if anyone else could tell me why it wouldn’t go into gear all the way

A: The linear actuator motor is located on the passenger side front axle tube. You will see the wire harness plugged into the axle housing. These were a bad idea for GM. It probably needs replaced.

There is a cable operated conversion kit that can be installed in place of the actuator. Let me find it. Here it is at LMC Truck Parts. It’s called 4X4 Posi-Lock and it’s about $300.http://www.lmctruck.com/ICATALOG/CD/full.aspx?Page=130

Here’s the factory replacement. It’s about $110 to $170http://www.lmctruck.com/ICATALOG/CD/full.aspx?Page=128

Q: I want a 2007 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Pickup ?
Im 15 and I dont know what equipment is good.. Im 15 and I can go ahead and get it for when I turn 16.

http://www.kbb.com/KBB/UsedCars/2007_Chevrolet_Silverado%201500%20Pickup_83567_Retail.aspx

theres the link. can someone please tell me the equipment may be good. Idk what alot of the equipment means. like if I saw it I would…but yeah. helppp

A: good choice, i have a silverado too.
you should get 4×4, z71, with the 5.3 engine, automatic transmission, LTZ trim package, crew or extended cab, the rest is only to suit what you like

don’t get 4×2 because it is useful when you need it and make sure get an ext or crew cab or you will be disappointed

Q: GMC Sierra 1500 or Chevrolet Silverado 1500?
i want to buy a new car ….. but i am confused …. i like the external body and ring disign of the sierra …… on the other hand i like the internal featuers of chevy …..
help please …

A: I have always liked the look of the Sierra model a little more than the Silverado model, ESPECIALLY the 2008/2009 model!! And as mentioned in other answers, the reliability, engine, and engineering is near identical…….so in short, buy what you want!! Do you want the better looking exterior or a better internal featured vehicle. It is a hard decision because the engineering is so similar!! Good luck!!

Q: intermittent starting problem chevrolet silverado 1500?
When I try to start the truck it makes doesn’t want to at first n then it does… could it be that it needs a tune-up? The battery is good…

A: i agree w/ above, but i think its a” gettin close to goin’.”..starter motor. now, if it does it when cold, then id check there. if it only turns over hard after the engine is at normal operating temps, look to your timing, ..its too far advanced!

Q: where are the 02 sensors located on a 2000 chevrolet silverado 1500, 4.8 liter?

A: There are probably a total of 4 O2 sensors on your truck. They will be the only thing screwed into the pipes/manifolds and should have 4 wires going to each one.

Q: How much would it cost approx to paint a 2004 Chevrolet Silverado Ext Cab 1500 to another GM color ie Blue?

A: $3000 or $500 if you hire illegals.

Q: chevrolet silverado 1500?
how good of a truck is this?
it will be my first car.
im looking for one in the 90’s
nothing brand new.

how is it on gas?
is it a good first car?
what do i need to know about these trucks?

how about a GMC sierra with extended cab.
in the 90’s

same questions apply.

A: I’m gonna start off saying the GMC will be a little better of a choice because shock wear on a Chevy is a little higher but overall they’re both good. The truck gets around 15mpg but it depends on what motor variant you get. I believe all American made trucks are quality built and will last you a while and is a good first vehicle. Trucks aren’t much different than cars unless you got the diesel then the engine components are different.

(~Buy American~)

……Vehicle

2004 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4dr Extended Cab LT 4WD SB (5.3L 8cyl 4A)

Review

I purchased my chevy on base from owning previously a chevy truck A 2000 three quarter ton. My idea was good luck once, good luck twice and was not disappointed. Driving my truck i felt empowered good on the road and safe knowing i was driving a chevy and the way it drove. Problems minimal only wear and tare issues. It seemed when problems come it was never with the engine or transmission just suspension type issues. My truck has run for two lifetimes and was only made, type and model at the end of 2003 for issue on the floor for 2004!!. Mind you me that is something worth.

Favorite Features

four wheel drive, ride when in tough terrain

Suggested Improvements

suspension wear and tare, less sensitivity to tire differences…….
