What owners say
While driving, the engine started knocking so the consumer added some oil, a little while down the road the engine quit, the consumer pulled off the road when the engine caught fire, possible engine failure for cause of fire.
I over took care of this truck as I loved it so much. It now repulses me to look at it. I thought that maybe it was a lemon but my brother had one a year older that had the same engine problems with the radiator,alternator repairs fuel injection, roller cam, engine replacement @ 73,000 miles only he dumped his before the engine need replaced and no customer service from gm. The only way its like a rock is when it sinks in a lake! I called gm got a case #990448783 (8/9/99) but now it has a new engine it still sound like the alternator is going every time I have it looked at it cost $200.00 and they find some thing else. When I have the money to dump it I will and I will never own another gm product I'm now $5,600 into this but it will be my last gm truck or product.
