ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
MY 2002 CHEV TRUCK KNOCKS WHEN I START THE ENGINE. (6.0) MOST CHEV TRUCKS DO THIS. THE DEALER TOLD ME IT WAS NORMAL. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THEM AROUND WHEN I TRY AND SELL THE TRUCK. THE NOISE CAME AFTER THE TRUCK WAS ONLY 4 MONTHS OLD. IT HAS BEEN GETTING WORSE AND WORSE. MY RESALE VALUE IS GOING TO SUCK. IF IT IS NORMAL, I TOLD THEM THEY SHOULD ADVERTISE IT IN THEIR TV COMMERCIAL. CHEV TRUCKS, LIKE A ROCK, AND SOUND LIKE A ROCK SHAKING IN A TIN CAN. *JB

STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR, FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:STORAGE:FUEL GAUGE SYSTEM, EQUIPMENT:RECREATIONAL VEHICLE/TRAILER:LPG SYSTEMS:TANK VALVE/GAUGE
I HAD TWO INSIDE DOOR PANEL REPLACED ALREADY. THESE TWO THINGS WERE FIXED FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT, IT GETS WORSE WHEN IT IS COLDER. FUEL GAUGE IS INACCURATE AND JUMPS AROUND WHEN TRUCK IS NOT IN A MOVING GEAR. I AM VERY UPSET ABOUT THE LAST TWO, BECAUSE CHEVY SAYS THE TRUCK IS WORKING WITHIN "NORMAL CHEVY PARAMETER". I HAVE ASKED MANY MECHANICS AND THEY SAY EITHER ONE SHOULD BE HAPPENING. THE DATE BELOW IS AN APPROXIMATE TIME THE LAST TWO STARTED. I ALSO HAVE HAD IT IN TWICE FOR BOTH OF THESE PROBLEMS. *JB
