2009 Chevy Silverado 1500 5.3. The lifters were replaced but failed in minutes. Now smokes with rocker tick.

the sm shows how to prime HLA they can not just be put in dry. HLA = hydraulic lash adjusters , aka lifters but never tappets. not talking rockers. Active Fuel Management (AFM) it shuts down valves this AFM and to 4 cylinders so defeats rock+HLA. to do that and is complex. smoking is just oil that fell from valve cover pulled and oil lands on the exhaust manifold, etc. you did not say smokes in the engine bay or at rear of car. changing and HLA, does not allow oil to fall past head valves ever. unless valve seals are gone or cracked in half, but what will be, will be. the sad story is here, nothing simple about any of this and expensive to fix see the horrors there of owning complex (VDE,variable displacement engines now and in the past, all FED mandated junk) https://www.onallcylinders.com/2017/11/30/how-to-delete-or-disable-active-fuel-management-afm-on-gm-engines/
  1. The computer sends a signal to the LOMA.
  2. The LOMA solenoids open.
  3. Oil flows to the special lifters through the AFM towers.
  4. This oil collapses the plunger inside the lifter.
  5. The collapsed lifters will not engage the pushrods and both valves remain closed.

I started my 1999 chevy silverado 5.3 liter this

sounds like you have a coolant leak, if coolant is low it will cause both of your symtoms as to where it is coming from, there are many places but common ones are hoses/clamps, water pump or radiator.

I have a 1999 chevy silverado and the security light comes on and stays on. After awhile, the light begins to flassh and the truck will not start till I reset the security system. how do I fix this?

you need to turn ignition on and leave key in on position for ten minutes then turn key off then back on again for another ten minutes then one more time for a total of three times or 30 minutes and the system should relearn the key. System is called passlock. I can email you the procedure form alldata if you want.

2000 chevy silverado step side turn lights speeds up when you apply the brakes

It's a really simple fix. Just take the plastic of around the column and the will be an orange and a white wire that runs to the button on the shifter. One of those wires are probably broken. Very common problem on these trucks. You can solder and heat shrink it or use a butconnector. Doesn't take too long at all. Hope this helps. It's how I've fixed the last five anyway. I actually added some extra wire and rerouted it in the column plastic. The tilt wheel seems to cut it so it's just bad location on GM trucks behalf

The driver side only blows

Yes it is most likely a vacuum actuator there are more then one . They open and close little doors in the ducts to deriect air flow inside the ducts . They are not easy to get at in most cases however you should look at all vacuum lines going to and near the unit its controlled by engine vacuum . exhust all other opptions first before takeing the dash out . The problem could also be electrical check the control switches make sure the switch is not bad on one side . Spend some time looking and thinking before you start riping things apart. Good luck with it

Vibration in the steering wheel on a 4wd truck

I just had the same issue with a 1999 2500HD and the vibration got worse above 50 mph. Problem was resolved with a new driveshaft. Old one (aluminum) was badly out of true and the problem didn't really occur until I had the U joints changed - then bent driveshaft vibration was noticeable. New driveshaft resolved issue.

2000 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, 4.3. The #2 spark plug keeps firing out. I pull the plug and find it soaked with gas?

This is often a sign the plug isn't firing correctly. Is the engine running rough at idle and under power? Using insulated grips, with the plug out and fitted into the plug wire, hold it against the engine block. Get a helper to crank the engine for NO MORE THAN 3 seconds. Look for a strong blue spark firing evenly. If there is no spark or it is weak replace ALL the plugs with new ones and recheck #2 after running the engine.
