Pulling out of a parking lot on wet pavement my rear truck tires spun a bit and then when I got on the road traveling about 50 mph my speedometer read 120 mph! when I came to a complete stop the needle stayed at about 70 mph. The problem is I don't know how fast I am going, but I can guarantee that it wasn't 120 mph! :) truck is still not working. Vehicle is a 2003 GMC 2500hd.

6 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 07/13/2005

I have a 2003 GMC diesel pickup. I have had the vehicle in twice for electrical repairs in the last 9 months. The electrical problems observed include: airconditioner cutting in/out, radio cutting in/out, power windows not working, dash gauges cutting in/out, idiot lights coming on (abs, brakes, check engine etc). It was repaired once by the dealership at a cost of $500. Now, 9 months later, the vehicle is back in for the exact same problem. The techniciain took it for a ride and had so many problems, he was afraid he wouldn't make it back to the dealership.
