Q: What does the LS on my chevy silverado truck stand for?
Its a chevy silverado classic 4 door truck 1500 v8 and it has LS on the side and i have been wondering what it ment..

A: LS refers to the trim level. LS is the entry level on the Silverado. It’s one step above the work truck. Typically indicitive of the power options…It will also depend on the year though because trim levels change or I should say what comes on the trim level changes.

Q: Problems with climate control on a 2003 Chevy Silverado truck?
My husband has a 2003 Chevy Silverado. We changed the battery on it about 3 months ago. After doing this the air conditioner will blow hot air for no reason. The air conditioner can be off and the hot air still comes out. The truck has dual climate control where the driver and passenger can be at different temps. The passenger side will have cool air and the driver side will have the heater blowing. If we turn the truck off and back on the problem corrects itself. Has anyone dealt with this or does anyone have any suggestions what the problem could be?

A: The left side temp mode door actuator is bad. I had the same truck with the same problem, and I also get alot of warranty claims with this same complaint and the GM guys say it is very common for these temp mode door actuators to go bad. There is one on the left side and one on the right side, and it sounds like the left side actuator is intermittently shorting.

Q: 92 Chevy Silverado Truck Smokes when Started?
I have a 1992 Chevy Silverado Pickup Truck with a 5.0 Engine V8 and almost everytime I start it up. It Smokes, then it quits smoking, it doesn’t smoke when I am driving down the road.

But I would like to find the problem and fix it. I was thinking it could be a valve problem. But not sure.

If anyone knows what the problem is or could be. I would appreciate it.

Thanks
It’s probably the valve seals because it smokes out the tail pipe when started.
I think it is a white colored smoke

A: Sorry, but Chevrolet never produced a motor *from the factory with valve stem seals which is a poor aftermarket stop-gap. If your motor also smokes on deceleration rest assured the valve guide clearance is worn, a problem with thin-wall head and block casting with 305’s. To top it off GM never added the same amount of nickel in the 305 blocks and heads as the 283, 302, 327, 350, 383 and 400 heads and blocks.

The only real repair are new valve guides. The sloppy guide holes are bored oversize and new bronze, hardened steel ot manganese bronze guides are pressed back in. A valve job has to follow to true the seats 90 degrees with the guide holes and re-face the valve sealing surface.

the alternator is fine and battery is fine too.
i tooked it to sears and they check and said my truck is passing high amount of electric voltage???can anyione help me what can it be to fix it?

A: Im willing to bet it is a bad battery. Try unhooking the negative battery terminal overnight and hook it up in the morning and see if it will start. If it won’t then you found your problem.

Q: How do you fold down middle seat in a 2000 chevy silverado truck?
It is a three part bench seat – the middle seat will not fold down.

A: i don’t know about the 2000 but the ‘05 has little straps in the crevice of the seat that you have to pull out. other than that look for small levers on the sides.

Q: I have a 1988 Chevy silverado truck and my gas needle moves back and forth .?
When the tank is low the gage will show full. Is there a fuse or wire that could be not getting ground.

A: That’s possible, if you are not familar with car or truck diagnostics I would take it to a reputable repair facility to be checked out. It might also be the sending unit in the tank which can get pretty expensive.

A: is this a re-run? just under 100 lbs :)

Q: How much weight should a 4.3 V6 Chevy Silverado truck be able to tow without transmission overheating?
It is a 2003

A: The 2003 silverado with the 4.3 liter 200 HP and 260 lbs of torque engine is rated 4000 lbs of standard towing.If this truck has the tow-haul button on the end of the shift lever this stops trans overheating.The tow-haul feature stops the overdrive system from causing excessive trans temp.This feature changes the shift points for max towing power and less strain on the trans and runs cooler.Best of luck.

Q: I am in the market for a small SUV. Currently I have Chevy Silverado Truck?
The gas milage is killing me. My needs are improved gas milage, ability to haul some construction tools and materials, room for my kids, 3 teenagers and long lasting, I drive alot. Any suggesions are welcomed.

A: Take a look at the Jeep Liberty or if you need more room, try a Grand Cherokee. Either way, you’ll be getting right around 20 miles per gallon (much better than a Silverado), dominant 4×4 capibility, and a veghicle that has one of the best resale values of ANY vehicle on the market, dollar for dollar. The other thing you may want to take a peek at is the Chrysler Pacifica AWD. Alittle bit more luxury, but over 94 cubic feet of cargo space, seating for up to six, over 20 mpg and a 5 star crash test rating.
Either way, dealerships are making INSANE deals on remaining 2006 inventory, so if you’re looking to purchase within a month, you’ll be sure to get a great deal on what’s left in stock.
Best of luck with your search!

Q: How do I program a Factory GM door remote control for a 2001 Chevy Silverado Truck?

A: Here is the process as per GM. Remember that all your key fobs must be programmed at the same time since once you begin this process the truck erases all previous fobs.

1. Close all the vehicle doors.

2. Insert the ignition key into the ignition lock cylinder.

3. Press and hold the door unlock switch.

4. While holding the door lock switch in the unlock position, cycle the ignition ON, OFF, ON, OFF.

5. Release the door unlock switch. The doors will lock and unlock to confirm the program mode.

6. Press and hold the LOCK button and the UNLOCK button simultaneously on one transmitter. After a delay of approximately 15 seconds, the doors will lock and unlock to confirm the programming of that transmitter.

7. Repeat the previous step to program up to 4 transmitters.

8. Turn the ignition switch to the RUN position in order to exit the keyless entry transmitter programming mode.

9. Operate the transmitter functions in order to verify correct system operation.

Q: How do I turn up the idle on my Chevy Silverado truck with fuel injection?

A: With the exception of the 2007 model which really is a Silverado, Silverado refers to a trim package, not a model. I’m assuming one of the numbered series for model, 1500, 2500 or 3500.

And the answer is, you can’t. Idle speed on one new enough to have fuel injection is computer controlled. If the idle is so low that it’s needing to be restarted frequently, you may some other issue that needs to be addressed. Do you have a check engine light (or have had one in the recent past)? Reading the error codes would be the first step.

Q: speedometer information on chevy silverado truck?
speedometer has stop working and needle points to 130 mph. Need to know how to fix it. the truck is a 2004 model.

A: you don’t need to … there is a recall on the dash cluster in effect for 2003-2005 model Silverados… even if your milage warranty has expired the recall extends the range to 100,000 miles or 10 years… check with your local chevy dealer for details…
What happened is the board shorted out which signals the needle to swing over to the other end… it has caused several truck fires which is why they offered the recall… you shouldn’t have any problems with getting the work done for free, but if you do call GM and speak to the tech and product assist dept… they will give you the reference number for the recall information.

Q: is a 1986 chevy silverado truck a good vehicle?
it has a 4.2 motor. did they come out with duel gas tanks?

A: i think you mean 4.3,or the 305 engine which it could have had in it they are alright trucks to own i have a 95 that i drive a lot,the 86 model didn’t have as much pollution control on it and they ran pretty good,if you found one with low miles and that isn’t beat all to pieces you might have found a good one,watch out for rust,because they did rust a lot,other than that those are good trucks,reliable is the word I’m looking for on that one,it sounds pretty decent ,just have it checked out if your going to buy it,Chevy did some weird things but the only ones i have seen with dual tanks was the ones with the bigger engines and they was mostly 4 wheel drive models,good luck on it.
