  2. 2003 Sudden Hard Start

    in General SS

    Posted

    2003 70K miles.

    Had run down the gas to 3 gallons, refilled and now have a hard time starting.

    Will turn over nicely but won't catch and start right away as before.

    Rough idle

    Is it possible the fuel pump is bad because I ran down the gas so low?

  4. Windshield Washer Jet/Nozzle

    in General SS

    Posted

    With the recent heavy snow and sleet storms here in brrr MN, the washer jet/nozzle on the passenger side of my 2003 SS is hanging down on the windshield.

    It looks like there is a small clip the holds the nozzle in place. Is the clip broken or just unsnapped?

    If broken, what is the fix, a new arm or bracket? Is the bracket part of the arm?

  7. Radio Knob

    The paint on my 03 radio knobs is peeling off and showing white underneath. I suppose one could repaint with flat black. Is there an easy way to repair? How do the knobs come off?

  8. Steering Shaft

    in General SS

    Posted

    Im right at 35000 miles on my 03 now, with no more warrenty. My steering shaft noise/ratteling is starting to get pretty bad, but i dont think it really bothers me too much... Is it somthing i should be worried about? I dont want to be driving down the road and all of a sudden have no steering :ughdance: It has been a while admittadly since i have been on the forum, has a fix been found for this problem? Since i dont have warrenty anymore i cant just take it in and get a new shaft...

     

    Thanks,

    Nate

     

    I also have a 2003 with 37K and had the end shaft replaced at 20K under warranty. The word is that there exists some play between the square end of the steering shaft and the connector on the steering box. The initial fix was to fill the gap with Li grease. I was told repeatedly that there is no safety issues only and annoyance. Mine would clunk when turning from a flat surface onto a raised level such as my drive way. Even now when starting out from a dead stop I can feel the play through the shaft when turning. I would go back to he dealer and tell them that there was a warranty fix TSB and that you consider your existing condition to be a potential safety issue.

    7-70 is 7 years or 70,000 miles from the date the vehicle was originally purchased (new). The refference number is if the dealer doesn't, or acts like they don't, know about it you can tell them to look up bulletin # 07187

    Thanks

    GM has extended coverage to 7-70 on instrument clusters. Reffer to #07187

     

    Please pardon the ignorance but please explain 7-70 and ref 07187.

    I have a 03 Silverado and had problems in the past when on a cold winter start here up north, the truck started but all the gauges read zero and did not operate.

    They remained stationary with no response until I let it sit in the sun and restarted after an hour.

    Is this related to the coverage?

    regards
