| As millions of other complaints for this same problem my 2002 chevy 6.0ltr exhaust manifold bolt heads are snaping off and burned the gasket out which now fire shoots out the gap and the exhaust is now filling up in the engine compartment and traveling into the cab. also not to mention the emisions that are not being displaced properly and that it is reuning my catyletic converter. not only does this pose a huge fire risk the flame that shoots out is directed right at the engine coolant senser and is burning it, someone somewhere has swept this problem under the rug it's time to address this before someone gets hurt. do it now !!!!!!!! demand a recall!!!!!!! do it now!!!!!!! | |||

| I own a 2002 chevrolet silverado 2500hd with 8.1l engine. the truck has started stalling (engine completely shutting down) while i am driving at different speeds. this has happened at least 7 or 8 times now. this is very dangerous because you never know when it is going to happen or how fast you may be going. so far, i have replaced battery, battery cables, had the fuel lines serviced, and had the fuel injectors cleaned. after doing a little research, it appears that the crankshaft position sensor is the issue as is on many of these trucks. there was a recall on the 2001 trucks for this issue but not on the 2002 trucks for some reason. costly to fix this issue. my truck only has 67,000 miles on it. | |||

| I have the 2002 silverado 2500hd with the 8.1l engine and i have random stalling while driving at any speed or even standing at a stop light. it has just started to not start from a cold start too. i brought it to the dealership and was told it was giving the crankshaft position sensor code as defective. there is already a recall on specific 8.1l for the 2001 silverado with the exact same symptoms. *tr | |||
