I was headed to the store when my truck just shut off in the middle of the street I took to my mechanic and he said that the fuel pump and sending unit needed to be replaced as well as the fuel lines due to there being excessive corrosion. Also ABS system activates when coming to a stop at low speeds. And I have also had to replace the brake lines due to excessive rust. At 118000 miles I had to have my heater core replaced due no heat and once again at 121,000 miles I have lost heat again.

Gas gage consistantly changing. Seems to be bad design on these models. Everyone I know that has around this same year has this problem. Failure to work can leave a person stranded. I was told by two different chevrolet dealers that this is a bad design and that the fuel pump has to be changed to fix the problem.

Whenever fuel tank is 1/2 full fuel pump would make a lot of noise. Had mechanic at the dealership check fuel pump. Was informed to keep it full instead of 1/2 full due to fuel pump being defective. Would need to be replaced. Had no parts to replace fuel pump at that time.
