BAd shake K-1500

Question. Have a 95 GMC Sierra K-1500. Have a very severe shake during driving. Does not happen all the time. Speed limits vary, but usually around 30 to 40 mph. Checked motor mounts,, trany mounts, and rims. All good. The truck really shacks extensively until I let off throttle. Any ideas????

First make sure you have the wheels balanced at your tire store, after doing this,, drive it again and if it still shakes, then have the front end joints inspected for wear.
Usualy it is a lost wheel weight, getting them balanced usualy fixes this.

2002 GMC Sierra 1500. transmission has intermittently disengaged or slipped while driving at highway speed. It has happened several times over the last 3 months. Yesterday, it just plain stopped. I had it...

Yes i would say it is a selonoid in the trans or a bad electrical connection. Get under it and pull the electrical plug off trans. If it looks corroded clean it with electrical contact cleaner. Be Very Careful when hooking it back up.Do Not force connection back together or you will bend pins.

2003 5.3L 4x4 GMC Sierra has started being hard

Sounds like a Solenoid might be bad on the starter if it spins freely and a high rate of speed without engaging.

Also, the relay could be bad.

I am ot sure if the fuel filter and pressure regulator would cause this problem.

No code will show with a bad starter or bad relay, I don't believe.

Good luck with this one.
