What 1991 Chevrolet Truck owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Fire started w/ spillage of transmission fluid onto engine. Dip stick did not have a locking mechanism. Dip stick was missing when the fire was out.
Engine noise : replace with new design cast iron exhaust manifold and stainless steel gasket per technical service bulletin #37-66-02b dated nov. 1996 and covering p models with 7.4l engines (VIN n - rpol19) and cast iron exhaust manifolds for model yrs. 1982-1995. An exhaust leak has reoccured between the manifold and engine block. An independent garage mechanic is unable to determine if the original cast iron exhaust manifold and stainless steel gasket/w attaching hardware was installed. What recourse do I have?
Goodyear wrangler at 16 inch tires experienced failure, one tire experienced tread separation, the other three tires experienced cracking, chipping, and peeling.
The anti-lock breaks do not work. The front wheels will lock-up before the back will do anything. It is hard to stop. Went to the dealer they replaced the black box brain at my cost its no better. It has been this way for over 3 yrs. Now. I herd on the news there was a recall but I called 3 dealers and they said they don't know anything about it. I called gm they said it was under investagation and that there was no recall. I have come close to hitting someone several times. Please inform me of any solution to this prob. Thanks for your time.
