WHILE DRIVING ON I-95 IN MY 1994 CHEVROLET C2500 WITH THE 6.5 L NATURALLY ASPIRATED DIESEL, MY TRUCK SUDDENLY STALLED AND I LOST ALL MY ENGINE POWERED COMPONENTS (POWER STEERING, BRAKES, ETC.) I PUSHED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL VERY HARD BUT WAS BARELY SLOWING DOWN. I FINALLY GOT THE TRUCK SLOWED DOWN ENOUGH TO GET OFF ON THE SHOULDER OF THE FREEWAY. I THEN HAD TO SIT THERE FOR 30 MINUTES TO ALLOW THE PUMP MOUNTED DRIVER TO COOL DOWN BEFORE I COULD TURN AROUND AND GARAGE MY VEHICLE. IT HAPPENED SEVERAL (5-10) TIMES OVER THE COURSE OF A 30 MILE TRIP. I HAVE SEEN MANY INSTANCES OF THE SAME THING HAPPENING TO OTHER 6.5L DIESEL OWNERS. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THE PUMP MOU

WINDSHIELD WIPERS DO NOT WORK SOMETIMES AND DO AT OTHER TIMES. RECENTLY, IN A HEAVY RAIN ON THE HIGHWAY THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS DID NOT COME ON WHEN ACTIVATED. AFTER A MINUTE OR TWO THEY SOMETIMES COME ON. OTHER TIMES THEY MAY WORK PERFECTLY. THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP SAID THERE WAS A RECALL FOR MY YEAR MODEL AND A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THIS VEHICLE BUT MY MODEL DID NOT QUALIFY FOR THE REPAIR DUE TO VIN. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION, AND I HAVE HAD TO PULL OVER ON OCCASION, ESPECIALLY WHEN MY FAMILY IS IN THE VEHICLE BECAUSE I COULD NOT SEE TO CONTINUE DRIVING. ANY HELP ON THE SITUATION WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED . *AK

2003-04-07, Engine And Engine Cooling
