What owners report
I JUST GOT THIS TRUCK & WAS GOING TO GET IT LEGAL MADE IT THERE & EVERYTHING WAS FINE, ON THE WAY HOME WHEN I GOT TO 40MPH IT STARTS JUMPING & DOESN'T STOP UNTIL I GET TO 55MPH. I WENT TO SLOW DOWN FOR ROADWORK & I HAVE NO BREAKS, I PULLED OFF CHECKED FLUID ALL'S GOOD, GET BACK IN BREAKS WORK, I GO TO PULL IN MY DRIVEWAY & NO BREAKS AGAIN. I WILL MENTION WHEN I FIRST PUT ON THE A/C I COULD SMELL ANTIFREEZE BUT THAT EVENTUALLY WENT AWAY
THE SPARE TIRE HOIST CABLE FAILED. THE SPARE FELL OUT FROM UNDERNEATH THE PICKUP BED. THERE WAS NO RUST ON THE CABLE. IT APPEARS THAT THE FAILURE WAS ALL AT ONCE. IT DID NOT RUB OR WEAR AGAINST SOMETHING. THE CABLE BROKE IN ONE SPOT, JUST INSIDE THE PRESSED OR CRIMPED END. THERE WAS NO WAY TO INSPECT OR NOTICE AN IMMANENT FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS IN OUR COMPANY YARD TRAVELLING AT 5 TO 10 MPH. THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN POTENTIALLY DEADLY TO ANOTHER MOTORIST OR PEDESTRIAN HAD IT FAILED AT HIGH SPEED.
BLEW SPARK PLUG #7. RESULTED WITH STRIPPED CYLINDER HEAD THREADS AND BROKEN COIL OVER PLUG (COP). *TR
BLEW THE #5 SPARK PLUG. RESULTED WITH STRIPPED THREADS ON CYLINDER HEAD AND A BROKEN COIL OVER PLUG (COP). *TR
TRUCK CAUGHT ON FIRE WHILE PARKED AND TURNED OFF FOR 45 MINUTES. FIRE WAS LOCATED ABOVE LEFT FRONT WHEEL WELL. LUCKILY I WAS WALKING BACK JUST IN TIME TO CATCH THE FIRE WHILE IT WAS STILL SMALL. WELL I THOUGHT IT WAS SMALL BUT THE INSURANCE COMPANY "TOTALED" MY TRUCK NOW I HAVE NO TRANSPORTATION. *TR
