I purchase this truck 2/03/17 and have used it until 2 weeks age when the brake lines broke in my driveway, I am having the lines replaced with stainless lines at a cost of about $1200 ( I am not sure of the total cost because it also needs a antilock braking pump which was badly corroded) the fuel lings are also rusted and need to be replaced and also the transmission cooling lines need to be replaced at a cost to be determined later. I have a 1953 Chevy pickup that still has good brake lines and the frame is in better shape than the newer ones, if GM looked to the past at the materials & methods they might build a better product rather than the garbage they produce now! I am glad I didn't pay $30-$60,000 for this truck.
First the transmission cooling lines rusted out costing over $400 to repair. Today the brake lines failed because of rust. This will be a very expensive repair. I was fortunate that I was able to avoid crashing the truck when the brakes failed.
The contact owns a 2002 GMC Sierra 2500. The contact noticed fluid on the ground and noticed that the undercarriage transfer case had a hole. He sealed the hole. The dealer stated that the undercarriage transfer gauge needed to be replaced at the cost of $2,000. The manufacturer is aware of the failure. There is no recall or technical service bulletin. The failure mileage was 131.550 and current mileage is 131,523. Updated 09/16/08 updated 09/19/08.
