I ran out of gas in my 03 Chev silverado 1500HD 6.0
I put fuel in, but now it wont start. I assume I probably need to bleed some air out. Is there an easy way to get me back on the road without having to have it towed to a mechanic?
Thanks
I had this same problem and first i took it to the chevy dealer and they charged me 2500 bucks to change a bunch of stuff that didn't fix the problem this included the starter and O2 sensors and a computer board. To say the least i feel like they took me to the cleaners and didn't fix it anyways. The same problem happened again and i took it to my local mechanic and he said all it was, was a 20 amp fuse under the hood and charged me 10 buck to fix it. I'm not sure which fuse it was. But i would start there.
Locate the shrader valve on fuel rail turn on key and bleed air off by pushin in valve core youll need something small
Change your fuse! almost changed fuel filter for no reason! thanks for the great advice! its the fuse panel under the hood. it will be a 20amp fuse on the lower right hand side. MAHALO!!!
Same thing happened to me it was just a fuel pump fuse under the hood. The fuel pump is located in the gas tank, it uses the fuel that is pumped through it for cooling. When the pump runs dry it gets hot and draws too many amps.
The dealer screwed you.
You cannot run out of gas in these Silverados unless you have a spare fuse on hand. Luckily after a bit of troubleshooting I figured this out on the side of the road before I had to have it towed.
