TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1998 CHEVROLET 2500 HD EQUIPPED WITH COPPER DISCOVERY A/T TIRES, SIZE: 33X 12.50 R16.5LT, DOT NUMBER: CU23105. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE BEGAN TO LOSE TREAD, CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. NEITHER THE DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 125,000.
THE TRUCK HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE WHEEL SPEED SENSORS. I FIRST CHANGED THE PADS AND ROTORS ON THE FRONT BRAKES THINK THEY MIGHT BE THE PROBLEM. BUT THAT DID NOT WORK. THE DEALER HAS DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS BAD WHEEL SPEED SENSORS AND THIS CAUSES THE ABS TO ENGAGE AT SLOW SPEEDS.
MY 1998 CHEVEROLET SILVERADO 2500 PICK-UP SUFFERS FROM THE SAME LOW SPEED ABS PROBLEM AS DO THE 1999 AND LATER MODELS. GENERAL MOTORS SHOULD INCLUDE THE 1998 MODEL YEAR IN THE PENDING RECALL. *JB
