Faults:

The fuel sending unit on these are all defective. Replaced twice under warranty and once on my dime. Dealership response in any part of the country is that the local refinery put out some bad gas (that affects only the trucks from Chevrolet?)

Power window regulator went bad once. Dealer warranty item.

General Comments:

This has been the most reliable car I have ever owned. Not partial to it, just a fact. It gets an honest 20 mpg on the road and 18 in town. Runs like the day I bought it and I change the oil once a year with an extended interval synthetic.

It has been rock solid reliable and I am just wating for everything to crater at once, but it hasn't failed me yet. Many 90 mph road trips in the AZ desert and it keeps going.

I will drive it until it won't drive any more.

Faults:

Rust bucket - Rocker panels rusted away

Very noisy truck.

Nothing major with the motor - just tune ups - shouldn't have to do that all the time!

U joints replaced 3 times..

Manual transmission hard to get in gear all the time!!

General Comments:

The only thing it gets is decent gas mileage.

Faults:

The ABS light came on. Pump motor runs continuously. Unplugged connector @ pump unit. Keeps red brake warning lamp out.

General Comments:

This is my list of problems I have experienced in 77K miles.

1.ABS brake module went out. For $5 dollar fix see Jan.30, 2007, 18:04 posting.

2.Fuel pressure regulator, see Jan.30, 2007, 18:04 posting.

3.Passenger side door window regulator, buy aftermarket $90, 20 minutes to repair.

4.Clunk in transmission when accelerating from stop, caused by clutch packs in transfer case, change grease, there is a service bulletin covering this.

5.Light bulbs, head, driving, tail of poor life span, Just cheap to begin with, change out.

6.Tail gate retaining cables poor quality, recall by GMC, take to dealer.

7.Brake hoses poor quality, Early recall for bracket holding hose, hoses of questionable quality.

8.Rear right brake (proportional valve) drags, watch closely, rotate brake pads between rear wheels, inner and outer on same schedule as tire rotation.

9.Engine Knock on cold morning starts, Nature of the beast, you will have to live with it.

10.Front brake wheel sensors engaging ABS as slow speeds, Safety recall in some states, replaced front wheel sensors.

11.Service four wheel drive light comes on, Bad switch have replaced as of yet, will see if there is a fix.

12.Sticky throttle (accelerator).Clean throttle body with carb. cleaner using tooth brush.

Faults:

After about a year and a half, the transmission went bad. The dealer replaced it under warranty, and the new one is still working great at 113,000 miles.

General Comments:

A very comfortable truck that has a good resale value. It is a 3-door extended cab with 2WD. It handles alright, but I am used to driving cars. Also, it has good acceleration, 0-60 in under 10 seconds! No expensive repairs, a few recalls and a bad tranny replaced under warranty, but nothing much that I have had to pay for. I have been very happy with it, and plan on buying another Chevrolet in the next couple of months. I would reccommend it if you need a good, reliable truck.
