CRANKSHAFT SENSOR DEFECTIVE. 2001 CHEVROLET 2500HD SILVERADO 8.1L VIN G VEHICLE HAS HAD A ON AND OFF PROBLEM WITH RUNNING ROUGH, ERRATIC SHIFTING, SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT ON OR INTERMITTENT. TOOK TO THE DEALER BOUGHT FROM, NEVER ABLE TO FIND ANYTHING WRONG. SAID IT MIGHT BE CRANK SENSOR, BUT IF ITS RUNNING O.K. DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT. THIS PROBLEM STARTED IN APPROX FEB, 2004 AND WAS LAST AT THE DEALERS SPRING 2007. 3 DAYS IT WAS THERE AND THEY STILL COULD NOT EVEN SAY IF THERE WAS A PROBLEM. ENGINE LIGHT STILL ON. PROBLEM WITH THE ERRATIC SHIFTING, ROUGH RUNNING , ENGINE LIGHT ON CONTINUED UNTIL SEPT.2008 WHEN THE PROBLEM BECAME VERY SERIOUS. VEHICLE BEGAN TO STALL OR SIMPLY JUST QUIT RUNNING ALL TOGETHER. YOU WOULD BE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OR JUST LOCAL DRIVING AND THE VEHICLE WOULD SIMPLY SHUT DOWN, LEAVING YOU WITH NO BRAKES OR STEERING. IT COULD NOT BE RESTARTED UNTIL YOU STOPPED, LET IT SIT FOR A SOMETIMES UP TO 10 MINS. VEHICLE WOULD DO THIS 2-3 TIMES A DAY, OR WEEKS BEFORE DOING IT AGAIN. IN JULY 2009 THE PROBLEM BECAME SERIOUS, WHERE THE VEHICLE WOULD JUST SHUT OF WHILE JUST SITTING AT RED LIGHTS OR STOP SIGNS. MY MECHANIC DID A SCAN AND DTC'S FOR CRANK SENSOR AND SEVERAL OTHERS CAME UP. IT WAS THOUGHT THAT EVERYTHING FROM BROKEN WIRES TO MODULES HAD TO BE CHECKED. I SUBSCRIBED TO A ONLINE VEHICLE REPAIR INFO SITE AND IMMEDIATELY FOUND A PRODUCT SAFETY RECALL #06083 12/11/2007 FOR VEHICLES WITH AN 8.1L V-8 ENGINE. THE VIN NUMBERS ON MY VEHICLE WERE HIGHER THAN THOSE IN THE RECALL, BUT THE DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM FIT EXACTLY. MY MECHANIC WAS SHOWED THE INFO AND COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING ON HIS SERVICE SIGHT. IT WAS DECIDED TO CHANGE THE CRANK SENSOR. THE VEHICLES PERFORMANCE INCREASED 100% AND THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE RESOLVED. THE OLD CRANK SENSOR WAS SAVED. APPARENTLY G.M.

CHEVROLET C/K 2500 2001 car safety problem was reported on Feb 05, 2010.CHEVROLET C/K 2500 2001, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS CORP. had a problem with ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING . I HAVE A 2001 CHEVROLET 2500 SERIES TRUCK WITH AN 8.1 LITER ENGINE. I HAVE EXPERIENCED SEVERAL ENGINE STALLS WHILE DRIVING. AFTER A FEW MINUTES THE ENGINE WOULD RESTART. SINCE THE VEHICLE IS OFF WARRANTY AND I DO NOT HAVE A LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER I HAD AN INDEPENDENT AUTO REPAIR SHOP ATTEMPT TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. THE COMPUTER WAS NOT PRODUCING CODES AND DIAGNOSIS WAS NOT POSSIBLE. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS OVER A FEW WEEKS A CODE WAS FINALLY PICKED UP INDICATING A "CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR FAILURE" WHICH IS OCCURRING INTERMITTENTLY. I THEN DISCOVERED THAT GM HAD RECALLED MANY VEHICLES DUE TO THIS PROBLEM AND REPLACED THE SENSOR AS RECENTLY AS LAST YEAR. I CONTACTED GM ONLY TO FIND THAT EVEN THOUGH THE SYMPTOMS OF MY VEHICLE ARE IDENTICAL TO THOSE RECALLED, MY VIN # IS A FEW OUT OF THE RECALL SEQUENCE BUT GM MAY CONSIDER REPLACING MY SENSOR IF I GET A DIAGNOSIS AT A GM DEALERSHIP. HEREIN LIES MY PROBLEM. DUE TO THE INTERMITTENT NATURE OF THE FAILURE, DIAGNOSIS IS DIFFICULT. IT IT DOES NOT OCCUR WHILE AT THE DEALERSHIP I MUST DRIVE IT UNTIL ANOTHER TIME. I LIVE 35 MILES FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND TRAVEL EVEN FURTHER FROM THERE OFTEN. WHEN THE ENGINE STALLS I LOSE STEERING AND BRAKES. I AM RELUCTANT TO CONTINUE DRIVING BACK AND FORTH TO THE DEALERSHIP HOPING IT DOES NOT STALL IN TRAFFIC AS IT HAS IN THE PAST BUT STALLS AT A POINT THAT PRODUCES A CODE FOR THE DEALERSHIP. I HAVE A CODE DIAGNOSIS FROM AN INDEPENDENT SHOP AND I JUST WANT THIS SAFETY ISSUE RESOLVED JUST LIKE GM DID WITH THOUSANDS OF OTHER 2001 CHEVROLET 2500 TRUCKS UNDER RECALL #06083. *TR.Mileage was 70000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1GCHK23G01F. Chevrolet C/k 2500 2001 problem was reported in BUFFALO, WY. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control.

PARKING BRAKE FAILURE ON THE 2001 CHEVROLET PICKUP,THEY ALL HAVE THE SAME BRAKE SYSTEM FROM 1999 AND UP TO THE LAST YEAR OR SO. THE EMERGENCY /PARKING BRAKE WILL NOT HOLD AND IF IT DOES WORK IT IS A ONE TIME USE ONLY DUE TO POOR DESIGN.THE BRAKE IS A SINGLE PIECE THAT HAS A VERY SMALL AMOUNT OF BRAKE SHOE ON IT AND WHEN APPLIED IT SIMPLY BENDS THE SHOE OUT TO MAKE CONTACT AND THEN IT CAN NOT COME BACK IN SO THE BRAKE STAYS PARTLY ON UNTIL IT BURNS UP LEAVING THE PICKUP WITH NO PARKING/EMERGENCY BRAKE . I HAVE HAD MINE REPLACED SEVERAL TIMES AND I HAVE LEARNED TO NEVER SET IT UNLESS IT IS A EMERGENCY UNLESS I WISH TO SPEND 100 REPLACING THE SHOE.

I HAD JUST REPLACED THE HUB AND BEARING HOUSING ON THE RIGHT FRONT AXLE ON MY FOUR WHEEL DRIVE 2001 CHEVROLET HD2500 SILVERADO PICKUP AND WAS IN THE PROCESS OF REFILLING AND BLEEDING THE AIR FROM THE BRAKE LINES. DURING THIS PROCESS IT APPEARED AS IF IT WAS REQUIRING MORE FLUID THAN I HAD REMOVED IT WAS THEN THAT I NOTICED BRAKE FLUID DRIPPING FROM THE LEFT FRONT WHEEL WELL. TO MY SURPRISE AFTER REMOVING THE PLASTIC WHEEL WELL COVER I COULDN'T BELIEVE MY EYES AT WHAT I SAW, THERE WERE THE BRAKE LINES EITHER RUSTED AWAY OR DELAMINATED. I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED ANYTHING LIKE THIS IN OVER FIFTY YEARS OF REPAIRING MY OWN VEHICLES, I CAN ONLY BE THANKFUL THAT I WASN'T ON THE ROAD TOWING MY FIFTH WHEEL TRAILER WHEN THE BRAKE LINES FAILED IN SUCH A CATASTROPHIC MANNER. SINCE THIS HAPPENED LATE IN OCTOBER OF 2013 I HAVE YET TO REPLACE THE BRAKE LINES, IF YOU NEED PICTURES OF THE PROBLEM I CAN PROVIDE THEM TO YOU..0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 102275 miles.
