general problems of the 2007 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

When I try starting the truck it makes a clicking sound like it wants to turn over and then won't. Sometimes it never happens and other times it may take three or four times of trying to get it to start before it will. The service engine light came on and continued to stay on. Took it to a chevy dealer and was placed on the diagnostic computer and I was told codes found were po174 and po171. Smoke test was performed on evap system and induction system. Found leaks at the pcv hose, purge valve hoses and purge valve is stuck open. These were removed and replaced both purge valve hoses, purge valve and pcv hose. $523. 80 later the problem is still not fixed.

Takata recall. Air bag light came on. Cluster reads service airbag system.

Due to corrosion in undercarriage the purge valve and fuel system are rusted out. Fuel line had to be replaced front to back at a cost of 1397. 78 mechanic at chevydealer said undercarriage is very rusty. Truck has 40937 mi. Truck was never driven in snow or when roads were heavy salted.
