GMC 2000 sierra pick up 1500 sounds like it wants to start but won't turn over. Battery sounds good so I guess battery and alternator are ok. For several years fuel gauge doesn't work and didn't replace it because I was told it's in the tank and it would be about $300 or so to put new one in. My son had truck and it may or may not have run out of gas, now won't start. Can it be the fuel filter, fuel pump? Garage can't take it for 2 days they're backed up, so if maybe we can figure it out we can fix it.

measure battery voltage while engine running good is 13V to 14V then over charging is 17V to 18V DC
if ok battery gauge could be defect
if not ok then look for stuck pulley on alternator belt by removing the belt and turn all pulley free.

hope it help

check your terminals n make sure they are tight,also just because the battery is 6 mo. old dosen't it isn't already junk,check it too

well the first thing to do is check the voltage at battery, if battery is bad it will make a clicking sound when trying to start vehicle. the voltage at battery should be at least 12.6 volts all things off. with it running at battery should be at least 14.2-14.7 if alternator is ok! if all checks out to be ok, then its either a bad solinoid on starter or the starter itself. good-day ! any auto store will check the voltage for free. just tell them you want to check battery and alt, output.

Assuming you've got a clean and tight connection to the battery, there's a good possibility that the starter is bad. A bad starter will occasionally work when cold but once it heats up, it requires more power to get it to engage. If when it's hot, everything else is working, ie headlights bright, accessories like power windows work, then it would certainly sound like a starter problem. Most with these symptoms end up changing out batteries, alternators, only to find out that a few days later, the problem returns and you've already spent a few hundred dollars. If you like, you can take the truck to 1 of the auto parts chains that offers free electrical diagnostic tests. This would confirm your battery and alternator are fine prior to making any major repairs.

Check your battery terminals for starters. Most likely you have a ground that is off. if the terminals are good then follow the ground wire from the battery to where it is attached to the engine and make sure you have a good connection there. That's where i would start. good luck

Did you make she that the battery has the right cold cranking amps, or the alternator? some times on an alternator the selfegnighter might have gone bad. Also sounds like there might be a wiring or fuel injection problem. Is there a check engine light on? Start simple, put some sea foam in the gas tank (you can get sea foam at auto zone for 10.00) that might cure the rough idle.

What you should do is load test your battery and have and starter draw test on the starting system.Make sure it isn`t drawing to much amperage and putting to much of a load on your battery.Good luck.

The battery could be your only issue here.Your engine management system will not work well under about ten volts. You battery may have low reserve. Try a new battery as it sounds like you will need one anyway.

Sounds like your battery is shorted out, you need to replace the battery. If it is shorted, it will not start because the computer is not getting the right voltage.
