Failed Exhaust Converter

They are only good for 12 years

The honey comb inside has broken & is
blocking air flow

Also getting hot could be a rich fuel mixture
or a timing issue also

SOURCE: 2005 GMC Sierra Overheating

If your sure there is no trapped air in system after refill and air bleed off, is fan clutch pulling good air thru radiator? Even if it is, the heater should have coolant as hot as what temp gage is showing! Try backwards flushing heater core (dex cool is notorious for plugging these up). There is a TSB for cracked cylinder heads from GM for unexplained coolant loss.Remove drivers side valve cover, and look at center three head bolts for coolant around them, if coolant has been getting in thru this suspect area, there will be a milky/pudding like goo under valve cover and on head. GM had a company called Castec cast these and the areas near the head bolts were found to be too porous (NO recall YET!) Ya, you guessed it, replace heads! Unfortunately, if its gotten hot to many times, it has probably hurt the heads/gaskets. Hope this helps. PS: The castec logo is under the rearmost pair of rocker arms,may have to remove them to see.

SOURCE: 1997 GMC Sierra Ignition Switch Replacement

take off the cover on the top and bottom of the steering column just behind the wheel. pop the tilt lever out simply just by grabbing it and give it a good tug. then once you have the new switch and you get in there your going to need an inverted torx socket to remove the small bolts that hold the switch to the column. do not move the gear on the new switch make sure it lines up exactly as the old one did!!!!!!!!!!!!

SOURCE: I bought a 2006 GMC Sierra 3500 Duramax

Hi: the 06 Duramax came with a LBZ, 18 mpg is normal, to improve it ... "chip" it, put in an "AirRaid air filter and a 5 inch exhaust. (cost about $1,000.00) Fuel mileage improved by over 30%.

SOURCE: how to replace a water pump on a 5.3 liter sierra

I suggest that you visit the autozone.com website and register the vehicle. It doesn't cost anything and will give you access to an online repair manual. The steps for replacing the water pump should be available there. Hope this helped and best wishes.

SOURCE: 2004 GMC Sierra 4dr truck. the fan does not work

The switch or the wire harness at the blower motor has gone bad. The highest setting 5 has no resistor, so the blower runs on high but the high current flow ends up burning up the switch's contact on that setting or the resistor wire harness at the blower motor has gone bad. Common would be the switch it self, if the switch is good. Then it's going to be the wire leads at the speed resistor by the blower motor under the glove box by the passenger leg compartment. Keep me posted, be glad to help you get your Sierra running 100% again soon.

1989 gmc sierra 6.2 liter diesel hard start when hot

hi, i have seen this problem ten years ago twice, but i was dumbfounded by the answer. all details aside, I replaced the ecm, and never had the problem again with both of them. this repair was a recommended repair by the local truck depot in my town, they stated the ecm got hot along with the truck and it lost the injector sensor signal. now, don't take this solution and run with it, i haven't repaired a 6.2 diesel in ten years and i maybe off track completely. but at least maybe you could ask around your town or maybe a large truck facility about this. of course, you should take to a shop to have diagnosed. hope i could help.

head gasket blown, or cracked head.

coolant is making its way to the piston and combusting with the gas.

Transmission Identification

If it's a 1500 then yes the 4l60E tranny is for you. If it's a 2500-3500 you'll need a 4l80E. The 80's are only used in trucks with a gvw or 7200 and greater.
