I washed my truck and it cost me $5.00, Yeah! It seems that when the rotor is real shiny and gets a speck of brake dust on it, then it will make an awful whining noise (only when taking off). If I want I can sand them down, but a car wash will do.

SOURCE: I have a 2003 avalanche

Give me a little more information. Did the truck stall out? Did you have any trouble restarting. Did the check engine light stay on? A bad O2 sensor wouldn't cause the truck to quit running. Probably wouldn't even make it run bad. We need to look elsewhere. If the truck is drivable , take it to a good auto part store or repair shop and have the computer scanned for trouble codes. With the multitude of sensors and computer controlled systems, the codes are our only way to determine what is happening with the engine.

SOURCE: My 2003 avalanche won't stay running..even

First take mass air flow sensor off and clean it with a non-chlronated brake cleaner and reinstall it and see if that helps.Then if that did'nt help check the fuel pressure because low fuel pressure will do this, make sure its within the specs which is 55-60 psi with key on and engine off.Also there are several sensors that will cause this to like crank sensor, throttle position sensor.

Testimonial: "thank you i really appreciate it ,will try these out."

SOURCE: security alarm

could be a few things,ignition switch,pass lock sensor.have it scanned and that should point you in the right direction,whatever you replace...the theft system will have to be relearned,that takes 30 minutes to do in your driveway or ten minutes at a reputable shop,google the relearn process..pretty easy,hope this helps

My 2003 Chevy Avalanche is having trouble shifting from 2 wheel to 4 wheel or to Auto Drive. Every time I start the truck it is in the 4 x4 mode regardless of where it was left when last turned off. I live...

Just a question. Does the truck do this after the truck is warmed up. If not this is a temp. issue and can be a few items. Generally this is an electric switch issue. Remove the fuse from the system when you shut it off for the night and see if it still jumps to 4x4 mode.

2003 chevy avalanche 1500 4wd stalls when not on the gas

The meter will jump when the engine isn't running proper. It sounds like a fuel pump issue to be honest.
