I have the moto metal 6 lug bones wheels on this truck and they are cracking just like the 8 lug wheels of this same type. Moto metal will not replace all of the wheels and they know they have a problem. They recalled the 8 lugs but will not recall the 6 lug. If its the same issue of breaking then what should it matter if they are 6 or 8 lug.

Service brakes, hydraulic: antilock/traction control/electronic limited slip
- What is wrong
- Vehicle description: certain 4-wheel drive pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles equipped with ABS (antilock braking system) manufactured from september 1989 through august 1996. Under certain driving conditions the switch which signals the ABS system whether the vehicle is in 2-wheel or 4-wheel drive can malfunction causing increased stopping distances during ABS stops while in the two-wheel drive mode.
- Risk
- If this occurred at a time when minimum stopping distance was required, a vehicle crash could occur without prior warning.
- Remedy
- Dealers will replace or repair the 4-wheel/2-wheel drive switch.
Recall number 99V193000 · Recall details
Power train: automatic transmission
- What is wrong
- Significant wear can develop on the low and reverse clutch preventing the park pawl from engaging. This can prevent a "no park" condition to occur while the engine is running, causing unintentional movement of the vehicle without operator action. (the "no park" condition will not occur while the engine is off.)
- Risk
- Unintentional vehicle movement could result in a vehicle accident and injury to persons in the path of the vehicle.
- Remedy
- Dealers will check the transmission fluid for contamination which will indicate if the low or reverse clutch is worn. If the transmission fluid shows contamination, the transmission will be replaced.

Since the car was new, sometimes when the cruise button is pushed the car will automatically go full throttle. If I step on the brake it will stop. I had it to the chevy dealer when it was new. It would never do it for them. It only happens about twice a year. They replaced some parts on the cruise control but that did not fix it.
Dt: while the contact's mother was driving at 30 MPH the vehicle would not stop. It felt as though the cruise control activated. The vehicle accelerated to 55 MPH. The vehicle ran into a house and went through it. When the vehicle came to a stop the engine was still running. A police report taken at the scene. The vehicle was towed to the contact's residence. The tow truck driver looked under the hood, and found the throttle was stuck all the way forward. The vehicle has not been to any mechanic for repairs.
Dt: the contact stated while trying to make a u turn the cruise control activated by itself. She was trying to get out of traffic when cruise control failure caused the vehicle to crash into an apartment building. The tow truck driver said the throttle was fully engaged. The vehicle has not been inspected. *ak updated 11/30/2005 -
I've owned this vehicle since new and complained several times to the dealer that the stopping distance increases at slow speeds when the anti-lock brakes take effect. I read in the chicago tribune today that there is a recall for this problem for 1999 to 2003 gm SUV's. My question is, was there ever a recall for this problem for 1993 chevrolet k5 blazers and if not is there a chance of getting this problem fixed by gm at their expense considering the age of the vehicle.
