| I had to replace the cannistor evaporation solenoid because of repeated check engine sensor. this cost me $330. the mechanic told me this is a retrofit part that chevy has come up with which tells me that chevy is fully aware of this very common problem with this truck. i know of 4 other people who have the same truck and the same problem. i want chevy to reimburse me for this repair. *tr | |||

| I was driving to the store and when i looker at my speedometer i was doing 110mph and when i came to a stop it displayed 60mph that happened 12/31/08 at 70,000 miles. so far my problems with my 2005 silverado at 20,000 miles i had the steering wheel clump fixed by packing it with grease now the problem is back,at 60,000 miles my fuel pump failed on a road trip after i started to fill hesitation like starving for gas- cost$ 700.00, at 65,000 miles the catalytic converter was plugged up the engine light came on and would blink and would hesitate really bad when you would punch it into passing gear. it didn't cost me anything because of the emission law 70,000 or 7yrs,and it just turned over 70,000. but i still love my truck and i always drive a chevy. that fuel pump could be fixed easy if they would put a access door in the truck bed because gm fuel pumps are junk, same thing happened to my chevy astro. *tr | |||

| 2005 chevy silverado 1500 experiencing erratic fuel gauge readings. vehicle has approx. 25k miles and has been acting erratically for about 2 weeks. fuel gauge, fuel light, and text display seem to be in sync, so it may be that the problem is originating from the tank or the computer. either way, it's nearly impossible to tell how much fuel i have at any given time...even after a fill-up. in fact, i just filled up yesterday and the gauge showed empty with the fuel light on by the time i got home. once in the driveway, the gauge rose to half-full. this is a serious problem. living in alaska, knowing the vehicle's fuel status is critical, especially in winter when the safety of a warm vehicle may be the only protection from the elements. *tr | |||

| I have a 2005 chevy silverado with 38,000 miles on it. the solenoid evap vent went an it cost me 171.00 dollars to replace. turns out that they modified this part because the engine light came on. i did a search on the internet an it turns out that this is a common problem with these trucks. i think chevy should replace this for free. *tr | |||
