Reference the recent newspaper article involving the faulty fuel gauges on vehicles.. I just purchased a 2000 GM Sierra P/U truck that I later found had a defective fuel level sensor inside the tank. Thinking I had a 1/2 tank of gas I got stranded on a side road 22 miles from home. It cost me a $1,000 to replace the unit as well as the fuel pump which are one unit. The dealer told me the problem is common on all large GM vehicles.
Excessive rust from middle of under carriage on back lead part failures. One of two straps holding up gas tank, rear strap, broke and rear of gas tank dropped about 4 inches. I was not driving the truck, just noticed then gasped. I replaced the gas tank strap. Research on internet reveals excessive rust for these trucks is common. After hearing about the Toyota Tundra dropping a spare tire due to excessive rust, I figure a part failure possibly leading to a dropping a gas tank qualifies too.
