general problems of the 2001 GMC C2500

I have a 2001 GMC sierra 2500hd with an 8. 1 liter v8 gasoline engine. While I was doing some research on the internet trying to diagnose what could be wrong with it, I stumbled across your website stating that there had been a recall on that truck with that engine. Nhtsa campaign id number : 07v521000. This recall information describes exactly what has been happening with my vehicle and that part is one I was doing research on based upon a mechanic friends advice. I was excited to hear that there was a recall as I cannot afford to have the part put on professionally and am not knowledgeable to do it myself. This defect really is a safety issue. Over the past couple of weeks the truck has gone dead and I have been stuck in an intersection and also had to pull over several times while the vehicle was not running and not steering easily or stopping easily. So I called a toll free number that I got for GMC and they tell me that my truck is not covered even though it is clearly doing the same thing that the recall defines. My VIN# is . I hope that there is something that your organization can do to extend the recall to affect my vehicle or let GMC know that it already does. Thank you very much and do not hesitate to call me if you need any further information.

While replacing the fuel injectors under a special injector warranty, the dealership broke a glowplug off and called to say I need to replace the cylinder head at my cost. Call GMC customer support who say due to the age and mileage 2001, 124500. That the corrosion of the glowplug and the fact it seized in the cylinder head is not there problem, even though they are the one who designed the engine. They said that it's at my cost for a new cylinder head which was quoted to me over the phone at a price of $1,800. 00.

Complete engine stoppage at various speeds including stoplights and signs, sometimes refusing to start after being parked for some time. Shop replaced fuel pump. Cost $734. 27, 4 months later shop replaced crank shaft sensor cost $296. 89. I haven't had pickup returned long enough to know if problem is fixed. Most times motor would start after 15 to 60 sec. Problem started 12+ months ago with motor failure increasing from months to days to hours. Companion refused to ride with me for fear of an accident causing injury or death. The firestone tires furnished at time of purchase, all 5 developed tread separation within 33000 miles. They should have lasted at least 55,000 to 60,000 miles.
