At 61,000 miles the head gasket blew. At the time there was no recall for this item. I called the dealer and was informed that this repair would be over $900. With no choice at hand, I did the repair myself. I completed the job in about 14 hours, plus the expenses of the parts. I didn't save my receipts because I didn't have any reason to believe I would need them. However, I did save the head gasket.some months later, I received a letter from Chevrolet stating this was a factory defect and would be reimbursed for the work. I proceed to contacted the dealer and the Chevrolet customer assistance center who issued me a case # of 06762207. They informed me that I would receive nothing without a receipt. Any assistance in this matter that you may be able to provide will be greatly appreciated.
While driving engine completely shutdown, cause unknown. Air bag light illuminates on dash, and brake booster malfunctioned. Also, water pump went out.
In the past year, windshield wipers have to be manually started, then they don't always work. The truck engine will just stop while your driving leaving you fighting to brake & steer.

When driving in damp weather truck will just stop running, engine will not run it will turn over but will not start, if vehicle is left for a few hours it may start, after restart motor will race, speedometer will go from 0 to 80 mph heater motor will race up and down, vehicle has been taken in on numerous occasions to have electrical system checked out, but dealer was unable to find problem with electrical system, possibily engine related.
Engine quit on me going 65mph, couldn't get motor started for 45 minutes, brought into shop several times and they didn't know what was wrong so I ended up getting rid of it.
Vehicle sometimes stalls while being driven, and can be very dangerous. Also, it may not even start. Dealer has checked vehicle out, and cannot find anything wrong with it. They have run tested the vehicle, but result was negative.
Have had problems with the windshield wipers from the beginning. I would be driving in pouring-down rain and the wipers would go out causing me to have to pull over. Right now they do not work at all. I had to work on my brakes the first year and a couple of times thereafter. I recently had to have my air-conditioner done. The latest was my water pump that I fixed myself. The worse was my motor. I had been stalled a number of times till finally it wouldn't go at all. I had it towed to michael holley Chevrolet in lakeland (the town I worked in). They refused to honor my smartcare saying I had not changed the oil. That was not true since I had changed it myself and had it changed also. They wanted over 3000 for a new motor. I am and was still paying on my truck and did not have that much cash. I had to tow it at my mothers and park it. I was able to change the oil and noticed that the Chevrolet dealers had removed the alternator belt and had left it loose. That did not give me any confidence in them. 4 months later my mother's car was totalled and she paid for me to get a motor from an amoco dealer. In September of 1999 my mother was surfing the net and found out that there had been recalls on this vehicle almost from the first and I have never been notified at all. I wrote to the home office in early September but received no answer. I still owe 2 years payments. If I had been traveling on the highway when my motor went out on me something bad could have very well happened. I feel sure that I will never trust in Chevy's products again.
