Fixing Crank No Start - 2006 Chevy Silverado
Переглядів 12216 годин тому
Finally got my Silverado up and running! Issue was a crank no start. My truck would run fine for about 10-15 min then cut off. After stalling, I would attempt to turn truck on and it would just crank. Until after 2-4 hrs of letting it sit and cool off the truck would start right up then cut off again after 10-15 min. Solved it by replacing pigtail connection to the CAMSHAFT SENSOR, behind the t...

You could have wired the USB socket directly with the original wiring of the lighter. No need for the included fuse since you have eliminated the cigarette lighter the USB socket will be connected to the fuse of the cigarette lighter in the car's fusebox, Good job BTW
I'm having this same sound, but also feels like its lacking power when accelerating, did you have any acceleration issues?
@@MatthewDominick-qy6mv no I didn’t have loss of power when accelerating? After you accelerate & get up to speed does it still feel like loss of power? You might have clogged and busted catalytic converters.
@@victor_beltran Yep it's the darn catalytic converter. Thanks for the reply btw!
@@MatthewDominick-qy6mv no problem 👍🏼those cats tend to chunk apart inside and start to rattle under acceleration lol
mY CK 1500 v6 1998 starts easyly in the mornings and when is cold, but after a short run it is giving me a hard start. New plugs, new ignition coil...I am thinking of gas pump, but as I said if it starts in the morning or when has been off for some time and it is cold, starts easyly, so it is not the gas returning to the tank because a faulty check valve, what would you think could it be ? tomorrow I will check with the computer to check for an error code. But if you have any suggestion I really would appreciate it. thanks a lot, Ramon, Miami.
When it hard starts does it crank for a bit and turn over first attempt and drivable after or?? I would definitely scan truck for any codes. I’d check all possible ground cables for any corrosion or looseness. Also I would check crank sensor cam sensor and starter to see if connections power ground etc are good. Also check fuel pressure with gauge to see if it’s a good strong pressure and compare it to cold start crank vs the weak crank.
These are crazy cheap on amazon and ebay lmao i know all these people paying over a rack for these
@@juan_f150 yup lol i thought the same thing & went with Amazon. It’s held up good so far too.
Same sound going to check mine today
@@juanromo9258 keep me posted
It was the starter! Shaft was loose,Thanks no more noise!
@@juanromo9258 glad you got it fixed brother 🤙🏼
W informative video. Thank you big dawg!🔥
@@dontfearthereaper2 yessir not a problem appreciate the feedback!
Great Video. I have a 23’ Raptor and the thing makes me smile everytime I drive it.
Thanks for the comment, & Raptors are a beast of a truck!
If it's just leveled with the same size tires, mpg won't change.
Yup just trying to show ppl who are wondering if raising the front end will cause enough air drag to make a noticeable difference in fuel economy. Apparently adding F250 tow mirrors cause lots of drag to drop mpg least from what I seen on here.
Cool mate
Thank you Sir
This is the only video that i have found that shows the exact same noise my 1999 4.3 Silverado had made for 2 years. I appreciate it so much and will be back to update this weekend to confirm wether it was the starter or the cat. You literally just saved me a ton of headaches, ive spent hours watching videos and forums till i stumbled across yours today!
Feels good to see comments like these roll thru. Glad it was helpful. Let me know how things turn out. 👍🏼
@@victor_beltran Took starter out today, the teeth on the shaft are just bouncing around. Got the AC Delco replacement, no noise. Problem is successfully fixed after 2 long years. Thank you so much! Phenomenal video and diagnostics!!!!
@@Pontiac4lyfe awesome keep on trucking 👍🏼
How has it held up over time?
Been working good only complaint is I’ll drive to work roughly 10 hours and wireless CarPlay will disconnect a couple times. Can avoid if I hardwire usb but didn’t buy it for that. City driving no issues.
Yo where did you get te steering wheel and how did you get it to connect to the cluster
Steering wheel? Came stock with truck buttons and everything. Got steering wheel to connect to stereo with a Crux radio replacement got it off Walmart website. It’s plug and play.
Did you use a decoders ? Any issues with flickering ?
What’s a decoder? Wouldn’t say flickering but my fogs tend to slightly dim then brighten back up in like a 5-10 sec timespan. Very hard to tell when it does happen but I’m very observant with my truck like that so I can tell. Also hyper flash still happens with upgraded turn signals I got from the company. It’s rare tho. But happens every now and again.
2021 F150, supercab with 8 foot box & 36 gal tank. 5.0 Consistently get 22-24.9 mpg real world mileage on trips. Best I could get with my previous Chevy with 4.3 V6 was a bit over 19 mpg.
Good deal 🤙🏼 what average speed you running and fuel octane?
@@victor_beltran Usually 65 on highway. 87 octane, regular gas
2017 RWD Supercrew 2.7L, up to 27mpg hiway. Usually 24-25mpg. Towed a 4000 lb trailer through the mountain passes in CO, got only 11 mpg but could easily accelerate up the passes, to speed up and pass slow traffic.
Nice numbers & good to hear your enjoying your truck!
My neighbor has that same truck, he’s on his second engine. The cylinders that drop off cause serious issues.
Damn that’s wild what year truck, 5.0 motor as well?
I have a 24 5.0 just over 1200 miles SBRC is only averaging 20 mpg with 87 octane shell gasoline I live here in NH but who really cares she rips 😁
Nice. Once I’m out of break in and change oil I’ll drive it harder. But I’ll be honest w you man throw some 91+ fuel she will rip even better. Enjoy 🤙🏼
Great info!
Thank you appreciate you watching 👍🏼
Had my F150 for 3 months, and have put 9555 mi on it, but the funny thing is I get 21 to 27 in the city, and when I drive home to Tomball TX, from San Antonio TX, I get 19 to 24 driving 75 to 80 on cruise control, love it, I use a full synthetic 10W-30
Solid numbers, What motor you got?
5.0
@@lonnielyttle3999 damn lol how you get that much in the city, you do your own oil changes? Truck takes 5w-30 recommended from ford tho right
I agree with kasb58. I’ve heard that for every 10 km going faster than 100kmph, the average fuel consumption goes up 10%. So 100 kmph is 62 mph and change and 10 kmph is 6.2 mph. You’re talking about not doing 80-90 mph, but what’s the average speed you’re doing on the hwys? Also I feel like cars don’t calculate fuel usage while parked but idling or stopped in traffic, so if you take those variables out of the equation but the vehicle is still running that accounts for some of the computers increased fuel economy numbers vs doing the math of actual distance travelled and actual fuel used.
I averaged 70 mph, think I mentioned in vid. Only doing 70 rn since I’m still in break in period & got 900 miles on the clock. Once I drive back home from work I’ll be out of break in period and with a good oil change I’ll run another test going 75-80 to see what mpg I can get.
I did the math in city driving base off of miles I drove and by hand I figured out about 14mpg. With shit 87 fuel or whatever courtesy fuel the dealership topped off my truck with. On this truck when idle you can see your fuel economy drop. Literally 🤦🏻♂️seems like this 5.0 chugs some gas at idle. I’m sure you can save it by keeping to start/stop engaged but I shut mine off every time I get in truck. Did have lots of idle time tho so I do feel that 17 ford says you can get in city is pretty reasonable.
@@victor_beltran hey thanks for that. I must’ve forgot what speed you said you were running. I think that good mileage for a truck but it’s hard for me to say as I don’t drive one. I hope you like your truck so far and it serves you well.
@@Icantball67 thank you I appreciate that. & compared to my 06’ Silverado 5.3 it’s a world of difference. On that truck I get roughly 17-18.5 on a good day. Same trip as I drive out to west Texas a lot for work. Got it sitting on 33s and leveled.
You will see a big difference if you drive it at 65. Over 65, mileage drops dramatically.
I averaged 70 mph and got roughly 22-22.5 mpg which is what ford says this truck can get on highway. I hear they do their tests at 65mpg and when I drove at 65mpg my first 70ish miles out here to work my mpg showed 25.5 but again I’d say the math in comp is off by about 2mpg. I’ll do another run after break in period & first oil change to see what I get going 75-80mph
2022 F150 XL 4x4 5.0V 3.73 rear end long bed (max payload & tow pkgs) on a 1,400 mile trip one way. Loaded with 2 adults and 300lbs of gear flat in the bed & cab height Yakima racks. Driving in above average winds, normal mode - 19 mpg average with 1/3rd mountains and the rest rolling hills or flat plains. On the way home in eco-mode on the exact same roads we had 21 mpg according to truck software. All of it was driving at 65 to 75 mph. The truck now has 12k miles on it and been through 3 oil changes before our trip. It is a daily tow vehicle when Im working and I am very very happy without turbos. Good luck with your channel and truck.
Those are some great numbers William. These motors with the technology are putting down good hp and fuel economy stock. Only time will tell of course if it will stand the test of time. Best of luck to you as well 👍🏼
Yeah-I’m not a fan of fans either. Just more ‘stuff’ to go wrong. Mfgs have gone bonkers over turbos. Put a turbo on it and they will buy it.
@@robertlarrabee9115 yup I agree more shit to break and go wrong. I got a 3.0 twin turbo on my wife’s Explorer. Thats enough for me. Fun as hell but hoping that they do last.
@@victor_beltran 😭😭
I found manually calculating mileage at fill ups to be off compared with the lieometer. 7.3 but complaint is the same. My indicated 22 is really around 18 with 7.3 on '00 F250
Yes my hand calculation are less than what computer shows too. No biggie. In this one trip so far it’s off by about 1.5-2 mpg. Those are still pretty good numbers with that 7.3.
I got the exact same truck but mine is blue and payments is on 720 i have a 2.9%
Nice that’s good payment and percent mine was higher unfortunately but gonna refinance soon hopefully by end of year
This is exactly the truck I want
Felt the same way brother when I went up to dealership to go see it. Best bang for buck with all the high prices on trucks in this market IMO.
Ordering one of these.
Good deal makes a world of difference
I was wondering what these looked like installed. Just worried about them trapping road debris and causing rust over time.
They got plenty coverage. For everyday town use even with rainy days it should be fine. For serious off roading, wouldn’t hurt to remove them after a year or so. See how well they do at keeping debris out.
Okay. I have a monitized youtube channel, amazon affiliate, and i just got my first sponsor who sends me free small engine parts. I am totally honest in my reviews though. The tailgate lift that i returned got a very bad review and no link.
Nice
I loved mine for a little under a year when it started to fail. Unfortunately they don't honor any warranty. Hopefully mine was a rare case. I'm going to try again.
Hopefully it was a rare case deal. I’ll do a review over time on how it held up.
I will use your link if i buy one!
Sounds good I don’t get any kickback if you use my link. All videos I do I spend my own money on parts/products.
Very nice. Much better quality than the one i bought and returned. I read that if you put one on each side it works even better and lasts longer.
Thank you Sir. Deezee shock looks pretty sturdy along with the hardware. I’d say this one alone does the job well but can work good as well with two.
5000$ in 3 shops the last shop after full muffler and manifold replacement told me to look at tork converter and pressure plate found out it was the starter that was working fine just had extra play and slop
Thank you
That was my issue as well. Starter worked & cranked truck every time. UA-cam can be your best friend especially when shops want to charge thousands for simple repairs.
So shouldn't I just be able to take the fuse out for the radio?
Idk bro try it. I decided to unplug mine completely so truck had no communication to it.
@@victor_beltran After 100 tries and various fuses removed, I can confirm that just pulling the radio fuse does not work. It worked as soon as I physically separated the aftermarket radio. I called Superchips the other day too and that was also their first suggestion. It blows my mind how that has to be done. Especially when it's always worked for me, up until now, with this same radio.
@@Justinj360 good deal glad you got it to work too
I love driving my 2023 King Ranch explorer
It’s really nice. Enjoy!
15amp wayyyy to much .. need 5 amp at the very most for the led
How do you know that
i HAVE THIS MODEL.When I put it in reverse I can't hear the stereo. How can I still have the music when I put it in reverse?
Good question, not sure tk be honest. In mine when I put truck on reverse it quiets down the music but can still hear it
@@victor_beltran In mine the sound is lowered just the same, I would just like to listen to the music without interference. In other generic brand stereos it is possible.
@@miguelcorrea3999 I’ll have to look into I’ll let you know if I find amything
How well did the mic end up working?
It works pretty good haven’t had any complaints
I have that same stereo and I install a similar camera for my Silverado, but I can’t make it work when I put onreverse, could you explain the configuration of cables you made to work?
The backup camera came with red (power) black (ground) and purple (which I heard is needed to be used if you have a 2003 or older model) . Not sure where that purple cable goes connected I didn’t use it.
Thank you buddy,turning the switch on is an important step and those instructions suck !
We just installed this in my daughters car. Do you know how to adjust the balance on this unit?
Yes go to setting bottom right button, should be a gear looking button. Then hit Audio, and balance/fader. Hope that helps.
Hey! Im new to all this, your video is pretty straightforward and helpful. Just a couple of questions, Your wipers still work right? You didn't just replace one thing for another? Where did you find your amperage for the lights?
Thanks I try to make my videos simple to the point and easy to follow. Yes wipers still work neither of the two fuses on the fuse tap have blown. As far as amperage I’m not sure the actual watts the led strip pulls but I got two 15A fuses so def enough to allow current flow for wipers and light strip. & I chose wipers simply cuz they will only engage when truck is on so that way I ain’t gotta worry about strip being on when I have truck off.
Them strips around 2amp .. 15amp if something messes up that's gonna melt them wires or worse .. down grade the fuse to 5amp or even 2amp
@@pandaww. haven’t had any issues so far but how you know where to find that the led take 2amp
@victorbeltran9344 you won't have an issue till it decides to melt ya wires or catch fire 🔥.. most led strips are less than a 2amp draw
@victorbeltran9344 fuses protect wires so if your using 16awg then sure a 10amp fuse will be fine , for example. ...hour fuse needs to be lower than what your wires can take .. like I've wired in led strips to my van and I'm using. A 5 amp for 2 led strips and a 2amp fuse for a amazon alexia .. stick a 2amp fuse in if it blows it properly won't then go to to 5 amp fuse
I didn't see any USB-A inputs for plugging in an iphone to charge or play music. Does this Boss model have any USB ports on the back? If i do manage to set it up for complete wireless use then it won't really matter, but if I can't get all the wireless parts or the system working right away I'd want to use my phone plugged in temporarily
Yes it has usb ports in back
You could consider buying a fleece all light on module. It allows you to keep your low beams and fog lights on with your high beams . I have it installed on my Silverado and it’s definitely an investment.
Where can I get it? Def come in handy on these dark roads I drive heading out to rig in west texas
Amazon or eBay and can also get a led flasher relay from Amazon so there isn’t any hyper flash
Is this the same process for an 03 2500 with bose system?
Should be if it’s same interior. Heard 03s or 02s have a slightly smaller dash so you may have to get a bezel for double din stereo to fit? Also the purple wire for the camera may give you issues. I did not have to use purple wire. All wires were plug and play. Backup camera goes straight into play when in reverse and steering buttons work as well.
I put it on reverse it doesn’t show i have to click the camera in order to show
Yes that’s what should happen. When you put truck on reverse it automatically shows backup camera. Or while your driving down road you can hit camera button and it should show you camera as well. Case your pulling a trailer etc.
What year model do you have? I think the prior models before 03 you have to use the purple trigger wire that comes with the backup camera.
Look up a reverse camera install from "Provo Beast Audio" theres an important step to get your head unit to AUTOMATICALLY switch to the camera when put in reverse. He does a pretty good job of explaining it. Good luck!
@@Branman9000 yeah that’s who I got the idea from on the integrated camera in the tailgate. Luckily mine is plug and play and will show backup. There’s something you gotta do with purple wire which that guy shows in his video.
