Not if it is running good and you get good gas mileage

Chevorlet did away with the inline fuel filter on the Silverado, so your truck does not have one that can be serviced or replaced like the earlier models had.
They have a "lifetime" filter/strainer built into the fuel sender inside the tank...I hope this helps.

you can either buy a maintenance book for your car or go to the library and see if they have a book there for you car and photo copy the intervals for maintenance.generally oil changes every 5,000kil,tune-ups every 60-80,000kil,transmission service every 80,000kil and don`t forget about checking things such as brakes,air filters,fuel filters,etc.

I see no reason why he can't drive it home.

Hello bdc45: My name is Roger and I will help you. First you need to have the computer system tested. Your truck has what is called OBD2 capability. This will help with finding the problem. What ever codes are set will help tell what needs repaired. Poor gas mileage or hard start problems should be cured after the codes are read and repairs completed. Most parts stores such as Oreilly's or Auto-Zone will read codes for you. Retrieve the codes let me know what they are and I can be more helpful. Should you need further help please just ask. Thank You for using Fix Ya. Roger

when you install a programmer you turn the key to on, but do not start the motor. hope that helps

No one works off of water temp and the other works with the A/C unit.

You need to replace the fan blower resistor block. It is on the passenger side of the truck and screwed into the heater cowling. Very easy to do it has 2 screws and a wire connector thats it.

***IMPORTANT INFORMATION YOU MUST READ*****

Ok everyone, listen up....If you have a 04 and newer silverado, with a failed evap vent solenoid, you have to read this info. Do not pay $100+ for this part(actually $150.00 at the dealer). The following part numbers associated with this part have been gm#19207763,19152349, and AC DELCO #'s 214-2082 costing over $100.00 for the modified part. This is for the modified part, with the relocation of the filterbox, and the added hose that seperates the two. No one at Gm will tell you this, but this same part, that was origionally on your silverado, is also used in the 2006 Suburban. It will be an identical replacement for what is ON YOUR TRUCK, and the cost is $24.04 AT THE DEALER. I know this because I own a 2006 silverado, and a 2006 suburban. Looked at the suburban when the part went bad on the silverado(from overfilling the tank)and bingo, same part. Ask a parts person at GM, and they will tell you otherwise, but they are lying to you. Bought the suburban part today part # 25932571 (GM #) and everything is identical, right down to the numbers stamped on the part itself. Took the part off my silverado, put the replacement on (which gm told me is not the right part), cleared the codes, and bingo no more light after 3 consecutive starts...... Why, is it that GM feels we need to pay the price for something they did wrong???? And moreso, lie to us, telling us the $150.00 part is our only choice to fix the problem. My truck went 40K miles with the origional part, and probably only went bad because of my own stupidity in overfilling the tank, whay would I not just want to spend $24.00 to put on the same part, that will probably go the rest of the life of the truck with no tank overfills???? I say CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FOR EVERYONE THAT HAS BEEN SCAMMED INTO PAYING THE RIDICULOUS PRICE that GM is trying to **** out of us.....Please pass this on to the world, and every forum you can...Get the word out....Let the parts people at GM know we are on to their BS, and they can't take advantage of us like they have.....

Not all sure what you mean by accessory fuse box but I think you mean this one, I hope so anyway for your sake. Below is a diagram of where the fuse box I am giving you as well as layout and descriptions for you. This all should be in your owners manual if you have one. If you don't have one and would like a copy, email me at [email protected] with your make, model and year and I will be happy to email you a copy. No worries no cost to you. I hope this helps and good luck.

This light will illuminate anytime the SRS system has been tampered with, or has lost connection. The light can be cleared if you have an OBD II diagnostic system, or the dealer can reset it.

"service air bag" is lighted up at odometer location, how do you reset it? Airbag has not been in no way deployed.

If you notice it getting worse it is a time to go see the dr, you dont want your diff to seize while on the highway.
