Hopefully that got your attention.

2003 Silverado 5.3 140k miles.

Oil pressure gauge has been broken for a while (very common i know).

Well tonight driving home everything was fine, truck was in cruise control. gas gauge just a little over 1/4 tank - - all of a sudden it runs out of gas, thankfully i happen to be near an exit and i cost it 2 a parking lot.

Called the fiance cause she just got off work and had a tank in the back of her truck. She comes over i put 2 gallons into it....Crank it up...all of a sudden i get these codes flashed.

1. Battery not charging (interstate not even 2 months old)
2. Service Brake Booster (no clue)

Truck has no power steering what so ever, so i think to myself well theres a gas stastion right around the corner so i get it there..barely...put more than half a tank in it....Start it up same codes.... Well i think to myself ok i need to get it to my buddies house down the street...Try doing that turn onto the road and all of a sudden "ENGINE HOT COOLANT"....wtf? So when i get it to his house pop the engine the coolant is like literally boiling...


So...
Batter not charging
Service Brake Booster
Engine over heats....

All from running out of gas.....i have no clue where to go next?

 

check your main belt.

battery not charging, truck has no powersteering, not cooling = broken belt

 

+1 Belt could have came off

 

if the belt came off or broke, look at the tensioner too...it could have gone bad. have you had a squeek lately or a while now?

 

you did check under the hood, right?

 

lol. I was thinkin the same thing

 

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Obviously NOT

 

he may not be a mechanic....

 

not picking on him just talking about what trever1t said.

 

yeah i know man, just dont want him thinking we are making fun of him ya know?
