2002 2500hd chevy silverado stalling for the last 6 months randomly. taken to have fixed cannot identify the problem with computer scan. truck stalling on the highway many times. once truck stalls, turn off key, let set for 10 -15 seconds, restart. i guess the system resets itself. this is not safe. *tr
2002 chevrolet 2500hd w/ 8.1l gasoline engine: the failure of the crankshaft position sensor on these engines appears to be a very common problem. this sensor failed on my truck at only 30k miles! i know of two other '02 trucks w/ this engine that also had the sensor fail and many others have been discovered while doing research on this problem! the seriousness of the problem lies in the fact that the truck suddenly stops running for no reason and you lose all power for the brakes and steering. at times it will restart without any problems once you shift to neutral, but other times it may not restart for a day or more. this was a huge safety issue for me since i tow a 10k lbs. fifth-wheel with the truck! my truck stopped running four times over the course of two weeks as a result of this problem. everytime was while traveling in traffic, with only one of the times while being stopped at a light! my truck is no longer under warranty due to the time limit of 36 months expiring. to have such a part fail with only 30k miles on the engine is outrageous. one of the other trucks i know of had the sensor fail around 55k miles. same problem, it would just stop in traffic or when pulling out of a light or stopped turn. again, a huge safety issue!!! the costs to me to repair my truck follow: ac delco replacement crankshaft sensor - $69.26 tow charges to tow to joseph chevrolet, cincinnati, oh - $58.85 labor due to the original sensor breaking in the block! - $336.54 total cost to replace the sensor after only 30k miles! = $464.65 again, i have to repeat how large a safety issue this is on these trucks!!! the engine just stops for no reason at any time, highway, slow moving, stopped, etc. it may restart, but then again it may not for many hours! the trucks with these engines in them are generally towing large trailers behind them. this compounds the safety aspect of the problem. *jb
Chevy silverado 2500 hd w/ 6l engine-- problem with throttle sticking. carbons up every two months around throttle valve and throttle sticks. then takes excessive throttle pressure to try to move. ---is a serious safety issue when moving in tight quarters. chevy has issued service modifications for 5.3l and 4.8l engines for same problem but has ignored the 6.0l. cleaning the carbon works for only two months then problem recurs. chevy should make a field fix like the other models before someone gets hurt. *jb
I purchased a 2002 chevrolet hd2500 with a 8100 liter engine. i have now been told that this engine will use 1 quart of oil for each 1,000 miles driven. i believe that this is an excessive amount of oil to be used in a new vehicle. has chevrolet done anything to correct this mistake. is there a recall for this problem?
While driving the vehicle at 50mph engine will start loosing or gaining power. dealer has been notified. please provide further information. ts
Loud hard knocking noise coming from engine at cold start up. then after engine is warmed up after driving and deceleration you can still hear the knocking noise, just not as loud as at cold start. taken to dealership, and advised chevrolet was aware of problem, and did not have a solution. advised by dealer it would not hurt engine, but i disagree, the very hard knocking can not be good for the valves, or crankshaft, and has to be causing some sort damage within the engine itself.
8.1 liter engine noise. also belt noise, belt has been replaced 3-times.
