I have been having intermittent problems with the windshield wipers for the a couple of years. I finally decided to try and fix the problem and discovered this is not an unusual problem with gmc pickups. The windshield wipers may or may not work. Most of the time it is when it is a little damp outside but there is no set pattern. I can be driving down the road with them working fine and they just stop.

Upon returning to the road from a service station, the truck developed a shimmy. As I proceeded down the road, the vibrating got worse. I pulled over to the side of the road but could not see a problem. Upon returning back to the road, the vibrating became more severe. I was able to make it onto an access road and into a service station parking lot. Once I entered the parking lot, I heard a very loud pop. It was then that I discovered that my front driver's side tire had blown out. The blow out caused a 6-8 inch gash in the blackwall of my tire. This is not the first time that this has occured. This same problem happened roughly 7-8 months ago on the passenger's front side tire. We also had to replace a third tire because it developed a very large bubble near the outer edge of the blackwall. I am getting to where I am afraid to drive the vehicle as long as those tires are on it. So far we have had to replace 2 tires which we had to purchase new at a pro-rated cost. This number will now increase to 3 because of the incident that occured today. I am just thankfull that no-one got injured in either blow out. But I am fearful that may change if the last wildnerness tire from the original set purchased deteriorates like the others.*ak (dot number: vd66aw2300 tiresize: 30x9.50r15)
