Two exhaust manifold bolts on a 2002 chevy silverado 2500 hd rotted and sheered off and one other does not seem to be as rusted and just broke off at the head of the bolt. This bolt failure could cause many issues, one being, possible fire in the engine compartment, or catalytic failure, o2 sensor issues, check engine light staying on.

Exhaust manifold bolts on 2002 chevrolet 2500 hd 6.0 l v8 are broken at the back bolt on the drivers side. The passanger side exhaust manifold is cracked between the 3rd and 4th bolt from the front. I replaced the bolts on the driver side, except for the back one that is sheared off flush with the cylinder head. The only way to get this particular bolt out is to remove the cylinder head from the engine so that a machine shop can drill out the offending bolt. The replacement bolts that I purchased from the gm dealer were a much sturdier bolt that had a much larger head on the bolt. To me this indicates knowledge that there is a problem and that gm is aware of it. This will most certainly lead to an exhaust leak that will cause the check engine light to come on. A vehicle with the check engine light on cannot pass a field emissions test and will result in a revocation of the vehicles registration until the problem is corrected. This is now a serious problem that is very expensive to repair. Gm should be held accountable for the possible epa violations that this well documented issue is now causing. This vehicle only has 70,000 miles on it, very low for a 2002.

I have a 2002 chevy silverado 2500hd with a 8.1. Two months ago the truck just stalled while I was driving it and then immediately re-started. Since then there have been several occasions where the truck simply shuts off while I am driving. It has become progressively difficult to restart the engine. I stalled out in the middle of an intersection the other day and sat there for 2-3 minutes trying to start the truck. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to when or why this happens. My engine light has never been tripped by this problem. After reading the trouble codes and consulting with several mechanics we determined the problem to be the crank shaft position sensor. As I read through complaints on this website I notice this is a fairly common problem. It is also very dangerous. With the amount of complaints and the level of danger associated with this I would hope this would be recalled for the safety reasons.

We own a 2002 chevrolet silverado ls 2500 hd with allison trans. & vortec 8100 8.1 liter v8 engine. The check-engine light was coming on, the engine ran rough, and sometimes stalled completely, usually after starting up from a stop. Our dealer replaced the crank sensor and we have had no problems since. However, we recently heard (and found information on your website) that 29 of 2001 chevy or gmc models had a recall for crank sensors (the federal safety agency #ea06016). Is an investigation under way for the 2002 models? Who do we need to contact?
