SOURCE: heater core on a 2003 Chevrolet pickup 4 wheel drive crew cab

if you have air conditioning you will need to take it to a garage and recover the r134, you will need to remove the dash to allow you to remove the heater box, it's an ugly job, I've done a dozen or so and can do it in about 6 hours now, the first time it was closer to 11 hrs, good luck

yes the front sensor will collect metal shavings causing this same problem.however you need to have it scanned when the lights are on. auto zone scans for free. the front sensors are in the front hubs. replace as a set as assymblies.

This is a well known issue with model years 2003 thru 2005. There is a chance GM will replace it under recall... Call the Chevy Customer Assistance Center 1-800-630-2438 to find out.

If not and you want it fixed, try Southern Electronics at http://www.instrumentclusters.com/.

I agree with Jaisen23. Most likely warped brake rotors causing this, especially if the surging or shuddering ceases when you release the brake pedal. Worn tie rod ends or other steering parts can increase the effect so have those parts looked at too. Good luck!

SOURCE: when drivingtruck in 2 wheel drive the 4 wheel low

Sometimes the solenoids will stick on the axle neither in 2 or 4 wheel drive, if this problem started when you weren't shifting between two and four wheel drive it is probably the push button switch cluster on your dash going bad

Most likely you have a bad drive axle, each drive axle has 2 universal joints and when they get worn they make a big clunk sound. Especially turning or going from forward to reverse.

Sounds like your 4 wheel drive may be trying to come in. Might be the switch on the transfercase. Try working the buttons from 2 wheel to 4 high next time it does the noise. See if the noise changes.

My ABS brakes are kicking in when I go down a hill or turn my wheel. Normal stopping is fine, but slow to stop I hear a internal rubbing sound and then the brakes engage. No light on yet. What might...

A wheel speed sensor is most likely the cause, sometimes one wheel sensor might be a little off in its values and the car thinks the wheel is skidding so it activates the anti-lock system. Problems seems to occur more often at slow rate of speed. When you turn the steering wheel it changes the rotational speed from one wheel to the other and the abs computer thinks it's moving at a different rate of speed, normaly the system will compensate for this, but again if the sensor is off a bit and it excedes it's maximum allowance it will activate the system.The sensors are built into the hub assembly on this car. The rubbing noise sounds as if the abs system pump is comming on.( this is normal if in fact this is what's going on with your car). The reason no light yet, is because as far as the abs module is concerned everything is working properly and it's just doing what it's supposed to do.

In 2 wheel drive there is a whirring sound from the front end followed by a loud clunk where it feels as though you have run over a large rock or chunk of ice. Does not seem to occur in 4wd

if the whirring you describe sounds like an airplane and increases with speed that would be a wheelbearing and it may be loose to cause the clunk noise. when it is put in 4 wheel drive that can load the bearing up and noise goes away.

Clunking front hubs

usually the noise in the front end is the u-joints or cv joints out towards the tires.

When turning steering wheel - either way, clunking sound.

Sounds like you have a bad CV joint, this will make a clunking or clicking noise like you described only when turning, and varies with vehicle speed.

Have it repaired before it breaks and leaves you stranded, or damages anything else.

91 Jeep Wrangler Sahara, 2WD won't engage, 4WD is fine!

It sounds like your driveline to the rear wheels is broken. Could be transfer case output shaft to the rear wheels has broken. Try disconnecting the rear drive shaft and see if you can turn it by hand with the transfer case engaged in 2WD. If you can turn it while the Sahara is in gear, the output shaft is no longer connected to the engine for some reason.

4 wheel drive stopped working

the light is on.........let's see, where you having problems with clunking noises in the front, now or before when or not in 4 wheel drive? If so sounds like cv/axle shats/joints. Last time you used 4 wheel, was there a big clunk, just once? Is there an ocasional clunk when going over bumps? If so, sounds like Ujoint. I don't belive chevys use vaccum for 4 wheel drives systems at all.

Trans clunking when slowing down

Sounds like youi may have a few serious problems going on to have that kind of back lash occuring at higher speeds. I have experiance with low spped clunks on Bronkos and your type of vech being a car dealer. One you might try for low speed clunk on take off and braking at stop likts just completeing a stop? Pull the drive shaft and lubricate the splin - two check your leaf springs for weakness and wore bushings - take a look at your shocks - three u bolts holding springs to rear axle housing may be letting the axle housing actually dip or tweak or all those thing in combination - now you may have some serious slop in the pig - transfer case may be causing that clunk - as far as high spped clunk and activity you have a serous problem and you just might drop the transferr case have an accident fliping over..............Mike South Bend Indiana don't just keep driving and making problem worst...........
