general problems of the 2001 Chevrolet 2500

Here I am 2016 and the third time I have to replace rusted corrosive brake lines and fuel lines. This time I only put 3500 miles on the truck since the last time. They are on the verge or blowing out, the first two times they did and lucky was able to stop. The fuel line is gone again also. Why??.

My 2001 chevy silverado 2500hd with the 8. 1 engine will stall at anytime. It has happened when sitting idle, taking off from a light, and I've even had it happen doing 50 mph. I refuse to let someone borrow my truck because I'm afraid they will panic and get in an accident. It is especially dangerous since you lose power steering and basically have no control of the vehicle. Sometimes I can drive for 50 miles and not have a problem and other times it will stall twice in 30 minutes. So there seems to be no rhyme or reason. I do not understand why there has not been a recall issued for this problem.

Brake, fuel, transmission cooler, and power steering cooler lines became very rusty and eventually leaked. Most lines have been replaced at this point, and a few still need to be. I bought the truck used in September 2005 with 72,010 miles on it and problem had already started. Fuel level sensor has failed twice, and requires replacement again. 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.
