What 1997 Chevrolet C20 owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
The fuel pump was replaced completely because the conectors inside the fuel tank had overheated, causing the pump and truck to fall. My concern is the melted connectors in the fuel tank could be a problem and could cause serious injury.
