In late Dec my diesel fuel return line rotted out from rust, and was leaking diesel fuel all over the road while driving or stopped at idle. I didn't notice it until I stopped to re-fuel and realized fuel was dripping from the under carriage of the truck. I was on travel for christmas, about 500 miles from home and there were no open auto shops around that I could find. I was able to cut the rotted section out and band aid fix the system with some rubber fuel line and hose clamps from autozone. This fix has seemed to hold up fairly well for the time being, but I have not been using my truck. Fast forward to last week when my brake line decided to burst, spewing brake fluid all over the road and the under carriage of my truck. Luckily I was able to control the vehicle and get it towed back home where it now sits. I've been doing the research and there are thousands of others with these same rusted out line issues on these GMC vehicles. I have yet to contact gm about it but I am sure they will not do anything for me as the truck does have higher millage. However, this is something that is happening to people with under 100k on their vehicles! here are some of the links. . . Read more...

I was parking my truck and lost my brakes. Found that the brake lines rusted out and I had to replace them. Also I noticed that the transmission and fuel lines are rusted badly. I repaired the fuel line 6 months ago because it rusted threw. There should be a recall to replace all lines do to poor quality lines were used.
