THE PARKING BRAKE HAS NEVER WORKED PROPERLY SINCE NEW. YOUR PARTIAL RECALL FIX FOR STANDARD TRANSMISSIONS ONLY IS INADEQUATE. MAKE ME WONDER ABOUT UNDUE GM INFLUENCE. JUST BECAUSE THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION TRUCKS HAVE PARK. THAT IS NOT AN EXCUSE FOR GM NOT TO FIX THE PARKING BRAKE.

BROKEN OR MISSING EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS CAUSING EXHAUST LEAKS. POTENTIAL FOR CARBON MONOXIDE LEAKS INTO THE DRIVING COMPARTMENT. UPON RESEARCHING ON THE INTERNET THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON AND EXPENSIVE PROBLEM. WITH GM ENGINES FROM 1999 TO AROUND 2007. JUST FOUND THIS PROBLEM ON MY 1999 SILVERADO ON 5/20/16. I HAVE OWNED THIS TRUCK SINCE DAY ONE AND HAVE AN EXCELLENT SERVICE RECORD AT A WELL KNOW DEALERSHIP. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN THE PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED.

RUSTED BRAKE LINES ! DRIVING DOWN THE STREET, HIT BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN TO TURN INTO A DRIVE, BRAKE PEDDLE WENT TO THE FLOOR, NO BRAKES AT ALL, I FOUND THE BRAKE LINE GOING TO THE REAR HAD BROKEN BY THE GAS TANK, BRAKE LINES ARE VERY CORRODED AND RUSTY, TRUCK IS KEEP INDOORS, AND CAME FROM NEW MEXICO, NO RUST ON THE BODY AT ALL, TOW BILL WAS 200 BUCKS,AROUND 50 MILES FROM HOME. STAINLESS STEEL BREAK LINES ARE AROUND 200 TO 300 BUCKS, AROUND 200 TO 300 FOR LABOR, VERY EXPENSIVE SO FAR, AND THE TRUCK IS NOT FIXED YET. THE TRUCK ONLY HAS 90,000 MILES ON IT. WHEN THE REAR LINE BROKE, I SHOULD HAVE, STILL HAD FRONT BREAKS, IN A TWO PART BRAKE SYSTEM, BUT I HAD NO BRAKES AT ALL. I'M LUCKY, IT
