Three problems related to gasoline fuel system have been reported for the 2001 Chevrolet 1500. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
This truck has several exhaust header bolts that are breaking off. This is a major defect and should be a recall to replace the exhaust header bolts they should not be breaking off and they are causing emission errors and needing major repairs.
Fuel gauge reads empty when full and bounces around after a little fuel is used. I purchased this truck new and this started at about 50,000 mis. And is now a constant thing. I was told this is a $1000 fix and is prevalent on these models and should be subject to a recall but that will not happen.
The fuel gauge jumps from full to empty it sets off the warning lights.
