This vehicle has been a problem since we bought it. Right after we bought it we heard a roar in the rear end. The rear end was replace under the 3yr/36000mile warranty. Soon after that the alternator was replaced under warranty. Just recently we took a trip and towed our 18ft. Ski boat with us. When we returned my wife noticed a problem the next day. We had no reverse and that proved to be the transmission. We contaced the closest dealrer to us: Mike morgan shreveport, la. They told us that they were so backed up with tranmission problems that it would be at least a week before they could pick up the truck to even look at it. Then they would tell me what they thought. Well, I paid $25,000 for a vehicle to sit with a bad transmission and they think I will let it sit while my wife and children walk!!! I don't think so! during the last of July, my brother and law and I replace the starter on this same truck to the tune of $250 yesterday I found a water pump leak and was told that would cost me around $200 to repair. Oh yes, the transmission cost me $1,400 to repair. As you can see, I am having a ton of problems with this vehicle. GM has thumbed their nose at me and more or less said "tough luck"! well, I don't think that is fair. The transmission is what really upset me. I paid extra to have towing package on this truck and we pulled a boat 1 time and this happens. I can't beleive that this truck can't get at least 100,000 miles on the original transmission. I also have a boss that owns a 1999 Suburban that had the tranmission fail on him this last Friday. His truck has only 54,000 miles. Well, as you can see, I think GM has a problem!!! please let me know what I can do!
