EXCESSIVE TICKING AND ENGINE NOICE DURING COLD START UPS. I WAS TOLD, BY CHEVROLET SERVICE THE TICKING WAS NORMAL BUT SHOULD NOT LAST MORE THAN 1 MINUTE. HOWEVER AFTER DIGANOSING THE PROBLEM, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT MY 2000 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 HAS A BAD LIFTER. THIS AFTER ONLY 38000 MILES. I FILED A CLAIM WITH CHEVROLET THEY REFUSED TO PICK UP ANY OF THE $1300. IN REPAIR COSTS. MY TRUCK HAS A VORTEX V6, WHICH GM HAS BEEN MANUFACTURING IN EXCESS OF 20 YEARS. THE BUGS SHOULD BE WORKED OUT BY NOW, BUT AFTER READING THE NUMEROUS COMPLIANTS, WITH REGARD TO THE SAME PROBLEM, THE BUGS CLEARLY HAVE NOT BEEN WORKED OUT.*AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
I HAVE STARTED TO EXPERIENCE A PROBLEM WITH MY ABS SYSTEM ON MY 2000 CHEVROLET 1500 SILVERADO. WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED AT SLOW SPEEDS THE ANTI LOOK BRAKES WILL ACTIVATE AND BRAKING IS LOST FOR A MOMENT. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH I FOUND THAT THE CAUSE OF THIS IS DIRT GETTING INTO THE FRON ABS SENSORS. I ALSO DISCOVERED THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM FOR THE SILVERADO.*AK
