What owners report
THE VEHICLE IS 16 YEARS OLD. IT CURRENTLY HAS 201,352 MILES. THE BODY IS STARTING TO RUST OVER THE REAR TIRE AND THE FRAME IS REALLY RUSTED. DRIVER POWER WINDOW SWITCH WENT OUT AND ROLLED ITSELF DOWN AND CANT GET IT TO GO UP AT ALL. REALLY LOVE THE TRUCK BUT GM COULD HAVE BUILT IT TO LAST LONGER..MY 1974 GMC IS IN BETTER SHAPE THAN THIS TRUCK IS AND ITS NEARING 40 YEARS OLD.
I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AND CAME TO A LIGHT. I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THEY WENT TO THE FLOOR. I HAD TO GO THROUGH THE LIGHT INTO A WALL. IT WAS TOWED TO A GARAGE AND WAS TOLD ALL THE BRAKE LINES WERE ROTTED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. *JS

THIS WILL BE THE 4TH FUEL INJECTOR PUMP INSTALLED ON MY VEHICLE. TWICE IT QUIT WHILE TRAVELING MORE THAN 50 MPH ON MAJOR HIGHWAYS. THIS CAUSES ALL LOST OF POWER TO THE STEERING AND BRAKING.
