I have silverado 2006. The engine will not turn over when I turn the key. A mechanic friend of mine looked at the truck and started it by jumping the starter . He said the lights were a little dim. We got it back to the house and it doesn't start again. He said he thinks it is the anti- lock but we don't know what to do.

What about battery? Recharge or replace battery, try if it cranks. If not, write me or find a mechanic. If yes, check voltage with engine running - it should be about 13+ Volts. In the opposite case, check the alternator.

SOURCE: Truck won't start

Possible weak battery has got the security system where it want respond or in some models want let the vehicle start until a new battery is installed and you use the keyless remote to active the securtiy mode a time or two possilbe then the vehicle will operate properly ..no question it is something electronic and this might be a possilbe solution check the battery to see if is still good,

SOURCE: 2006 chevy cobalt woulnt start lock light is on

Are you using the original key that came with the car? The chip in that key may have gone bad. Try using the spare key that should have come with the purchase of the car. You may also be having battery issues. If all else fails....call the people who really know how to rape you...DUM Dum dummmmm....the dealer

SOURCE: 03 silverado turn the key to start but starter will not engage

Interesting problem, on the starter is a "trigger" wire that originates from the ignition (may run to the power distribution center). When the truck is started 12 volts runs down that wire and activates the solinoid on the starter. Put a 12 volt test light on the trigger wire by the starter, have someone hit the key to start, test light should come on, if not chase wire back and look for a break in the wire or replace trigger wire.

Are you sure its the starter? did you try it in neutral? could be park neutral switch, or ignition switch, or if its a standard shift maybe it has a switch on clutch that it has to be depressed to start and its bad. As far as jump starting you cross the maine or big post on starter to small or little post on starter to do that, on a v6 starter it on the right side under exhaust manafold, and i think its on the same side on a 4 cyl.

When i hold key on,glow plug light never turns off but it starts and runs ok.light used to go off after 1 second

Sounds like the GPCM needs to be scanned for codes. There were issues if the truck was jump started with the key on. The GPCM would stick and command the glow plugs on to long causing damage to the glow plugs themselves, resulting in possible costly engine repairs.

My hyundai santa fey has just lost all electrics.Drove it fine to shop turned engine off. went to turn it back on nothing -no lights nothing from the battery even the key doesn`t work.tried jump start but...

i would start by checking the connections on the battery and having the battery tested, also why where you taking it to the shop?, if the connection are dirty a jump start wont work, they may look clean but loosen them and twist them on battery terminals to make good connection then tighten them ,and make sure battery is fully charged,

2006 Silverado Internal Engine Problem

Well, i know that a clicking can be produced when the vehicle does not have enought oil, or needs some engine restore oil. Try some Lucas Engine restore oil, and mix it with some other brand, it is thick. 
Another experience i had with a knocking noise is that there is a heat shield in some vehicles, and mine used to radle against the engine. I just bent it a little to stop the knocking.
If this doesnt work, i know a few more things that could cause that noise, but start out with these 2 things because if it is something internaly like a thrown push rod, you will need to fork out some serious cash, those engines are not cheap.
