The truck randomly shuts off whether just running or driving, the fuel pump fuse blows, as long as we switch the fuses it starts right up and runs again, sometimes it happens several times a day, other times it doesn't happen for a week or two. When driving it shuts down without warning and lose of everything.
Vehicle has been stalling and losing trailer brakes. There is a recall on this but this particular truck did not fall in the recall. The trailer brake module on the frame rail of the truck was full of water. I has been replaced and all is good now. Could have been a very bad situation but was able to prevent an accident.
I have replaced transmission cooler lines twice (2 times), since purchasing this truck with 59k miles on it. Both times with ac delco parts. Both times the transmission cooler lines leaked, not an installation problem. 11/21/13- I first noticed it when driving at 25 mph picking up my kids from school, and I had transmission fluid spraying out from underneath my truck, causing it to smoke/smolder on my exhaust pipe. (transmission fluid is flammable). The crimp has separated from the hose. This is the first time I replaced with genuine gm parts. 1/16-14- 2nd time was during the winter when the truck was warming up in the drive way and yet again the crimp was causing a leak, which dumped about a gallon of fluid on my driveway. (again transmission fluid is flammable) I replaced the lines one more time and I'm about fed up with the lack of help gm is giving. The current set of cooler lines on the truck are just now starting to drip so its only a matter of time before they give out again. The truck has very low miles and I meticulously maintained, this is a known gm problem on more than 1 model of vehicle and I am unsure why gm will not extend a warranty to these failed parts. My local gm service dept. Has refused to help me in any way, even though I have bought gm part every time. When will gm face the facts before one of these catches fire and someone dies????.
