161131 miles frame rusted real bad body looks great for the year I just bought the truck looked real clean inside and out from origanal owner put it on a lift and the frame is so rusted out did some googleing and found that most all these trucks were built to rot out in 3 years.
I was moving my 1500hd GMC sierra which has 29k mile & the front brake line under the radiator, blew out due to rust this is a nightmare for any GMC owner , upon an inspection of all brake lines I find they are just steel with no anti corrosion on any of them. I also own a 2002 yukon & now it has the same problem, all lines are badly rusted & just recently the lines on the rear axle burst. This is life threatening situation the very this you rely on the most is brakes.
Anti lock brakes at low speed activated cannot stop vehicle pressing harder brake line blew had no brakes rear ended vehicle stopped at red light.
The paint job is peeling and the clearcoat is bubbling causing the truck to look horrible. It is a great truck with exception to this.
I lost brakes on a return trip from shopping trip at a near by town . I was able to stop by using the emergency brake in time to prevent hitting the vehicle stopped ahead of me at a red light. I was able to get my vehicle home by driving at very low speed and using the emergency brake with without any further incident . I attempted to repair the corroded section of the line . While bleeding the brake lines another section rupture . Upon further inspection I discovered all the lines were corroding and needed to be replaced . Also all the couplings on the fuel lines are corroded . My truck has been sitting in my drive way for lack of the funds to get it repaired . The estimate for the brake lines to be repaired is about $1200. 00. I haven't got a clear estimate for the fuel line couplings because the might also have to be replaced if they can't be repaired . The fuel lines other wise are not corroded.
My emergency brake doesnt work. . . My head lights always burn out. . . My bed liner is wharped. . .
