general problems of the 2001 Chevrolet 2500

Upper a-frame/ control arm rotted away, perforating around ball joint, allowing ball joint to break off vehicle. Extensive rot all over vehicle underside for last 10 years.

Power window motors on both sides have each failed twice. Truck now has over 150,000 miles, and I'm only reporting because many of these same troubles appear to be common on later model chevy/GMC trucks.
