What is the Oil capacity gmc truck 2003 v8 5.3 liter?
According to ALLDATA, 5 quarts without filter, 6 quarts with filter (you should always change the filter). However, I'm picky....So I would
Drain the oil
Change the filter
Put the Plug back in the oil pan
Add 5qts
Start the truck and run for 30seconds or so (check for leaks)
Shut it down
Wait a few minutes
Check the oil level and top it off so it's just to the full mark (you may need to wait a few minutes between adding oil and checking the level for the oil to make it to the pan).
Write down exactly how much oil it took--so you won't have to go though the process again. I used to work in an oil changing shop while in College (and grew up working on cars). The 'book' oil capacity is rarely 100% correct (but usually close enough) Something with the 5 quart/6 quart spec isn't accurate....no way that filter holds a full quart.
Loose headlight(wiggle it to see), if not its loose or corroded ground wire. just follow the wires and it will have like 3 or 4 wires going onto a ground bolt, take it off clean it and put it back together. and you should be all good, if not get your alternator checked out.
What is the stock horsepower for five point seven liter V8 Vortecs from 88-99?
http://autos.msn.com/research/vip/spec_engines.aspx?year=1997&make=GMC&model=Sierra%20C/K%203500&trimid=-1#EngineSpecs
True, but Vortec engines were not introduced in GM trucks until 1995. 1988-1994 were standard 5.7 TBI engines at approx. 210hp
Actually the 5.7 didn't come out until 1996. The vortec in 1995 was only the 4.3 for the sierras.
Well I know for a fact that the later 1995 Sierras had a Vortec 5.7 option... I own one.

Difference between 4x4 hi and 4x4 low?
4 wheel low is for slower 4x4 driving and more rough terrain. 4 wheel high is for faster driving like driving in the snow and ice or through a trail with a little bit of slick mud on it.
1996 mustang cobra how do you change starter where is it located what is estimated time thanks?
The starter is a cylindrical unit alongside the transmission. If I remember correctly there are three bolts holding this thing on, in an incredibly poorly designed assembly. You will need a flexible socket-wrench extension to get the top bolt out, and you can pretty much forget about putting it back in when you're done. I don't think even a dealer reinstalls this bolt; it is long gone on my car.
Bolt tension is stated in the Chilton's manual at 15-19 pounds.
That's all I have for ya.
How do you replace the air conditioner belt on a 2000 gmc sierra?
1. Make sure that when you purchase a new belt, they don't try to sell you the full size serpentine belt.
2. There is a diagram of the belt routing on your truck when you lift the hood. Follow that.
3. Unfortunately, you need to remove the serpentine belt to replace the air conditioning belt.... the belt routing for the serpentine belt is also shown on the diagram.
4. To remove the serpentine belt, get a ratchet set, and crank the "self tensioning" assembly to release tension on the serpentine belt, and remove the belt.
5. There is another "self tensioning" assembly for the air conditioning belt. Crank to place the new AC belt on and release.
6. Re-install the serpentine belt.
This is an easy fix... it took me less than 20 minutes, I'm not a mechanic.
When I worked at the local GMC dealership we did the following:

TRAILER BRAKE CONTROLLERS
Here's how to connect a trailer brake controller to the 2007 Silverado and Sierra pickups. These instructions do not apply to trucks with option JL1 (Integrated Trailer Brake Controls) available on H.D. trucks for 2007. Also, trucks with option TP2 (H.D. availability) already have the 12v battery trailer feed used as part of that RPO.
This hookup is entirely different from the earlier Silverado Classic and Sierra Classic.
TIP: The owner manual (page 483) refers to 4 wires, but there are 5 wires looped back in the IP harness. The fifth wire is not required with most systems (see table below).
1. Locate the trailer brake control circuits looped and taped to the main harness under the IP (fig. 13).
2. Pull the trailering wire harness down.
3. Match vehicle harness label circuit functions to the trailer brake controller jumper harness functions (fig. 14).
TIP: Match functions. The colors of wires that are to be joined together may not match.
VEHICLE HARNESS FUNCTIONS Wire ColorFunction Dark Blue Switched power from controller to trailer brakes Red with Black Stripe Fused vehicle power to electrical brake controller Light Blue with White Stripe Brake switch input to power electric brake controller White Ground Orange CHMSL (not required with most systems) 4. After completing the under-IP connections to the electric brake controller, open the hood and locate the red wire taped to the harness between the under-hood electrical center
(fig. 15) and the driver side front fender.
5. Break the tape on the red wire and pull the wire toward the front of the vehicle.
6. Remove the cover from the electrical center.
7. Place the terminal on the larger of the two studs (fig. 16) at the front of the electrical center and secure with an M8 nut.
A Location of larger stud
B Existing fuse
TIP: The fuse is already present in the vehicle to power the electric trailer brake controller system.
AUXILIARY 12 VOLT FEED TO TRAILER
This hookup may be used operate electrical devices in the trailer -- for example, a refrigerator or a battery charger.
1. Locate the red wire looped and taped to the chassis harness below the brake master cylinder (fig. 17).
2. Break the tape and route the wire to the front of the vehicle under-hood electrical center.
3. Place the terminal on the smaller of the two studs (fig 18) on the electrical center and secure with an M6 fastener.
A Location of smaller stud
B Install fuse
4. Install a 40 amp fuse to power the circuit.
TIP: Devices powered by this fuse will drain the vehicle battery if left connected with the vehicle not running.

Check socket for corrosion
How do you tell what type of differential is in a 99 GMC sierra 1500?
There is supposed to be a stamped metal tag attached to the bolt holding on the rear cover.
If this is missing clues like the number of bolts in the rear cover, the type and size of u-joint, and so on may enable you to trace it back.
OF course you could just ask your local GM dealer to tell you. He should be able to tell from the VIN number.
Why is there a grinding noise when you turn right?
Tie-Rod End may be going out.
I'm thinking front wheel bearing.
If you get trouble codes P0740 P0753 P0758 P0785 P1860 what is wrong with your GMC Sierra?
They all are problems with the transmission. Torque converter solenoid, 1-2, 2-3 shift solenoids, etc. It's fairly uncommon for all of them to go out at once. I wouldn't know where to begin looking for a problem on that transmission.
Blown fuse or bad flasher unit. Often, cars use different flasher for the turn signals and the flasher, so it is possible for the hazards to work and not the turn signals.
