| Feb 2010US $200 | The original fuel pump had been acting up ever since the truck had around 50,000 miles on it; The electric motor in it was occasionally noisy and loud when running - kind of like the sound or bad bearings (bushings) and the fuel gauge often didn't always register correctly and sometimes, not at all. I do understand that this is a very common problem with this year (2001) Silverado's. GM should have issued a recall for the fuel pump - but didn't... I replaced the pump with a brand new AC-Delco - just like the original. After a fairly short period of time the new fuel pump began acting up (gauge not registering correctly or not at all) just the same as the one I replaced it with. I've decided to just live with it rather than replace it with another pump that would be just as defective as the two previous ones are/were..... | ||
| Mar 2015177000 miUS $350 | Water pump had been leaking from around mounting surfaces for a long time and kept leaking worse as time went on. Replaced water pump and gaskets with new replacements. Also the drivers side tank of the radiator was cracked and leaking. (Don't you just love that plastic junk?) I took the radiator to a repair shop and they installed a new tank to replace the cracked one. They also rodded out the radiator and I re-installed it and have had no leaks or problems since. Replaced the belt tensioner as it's bearings were noisy. Replaced the surpentine belt idler as it's bearings were noisy. The driver's side reservoir of the radiator (which is made of plastic) developed a small crack and was leakin. A local radiator repair shop removed the old reservoir and installed a new one and rodded it out too for $85. & 1 year warranty. | ||
| Jun 2015180000 miUS $300 | Alternator quit charging. Replaced with a rebuilt. Starter seemed to be dragging somewhat. Replaced it with a rebuilt. Battery didn't have the staying power (endurance) when cranking the engine over. Replaced it with a new battery. 800 cranking amps | ||
