SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK:CONTROL UNIT/MODULE
AFTER WORK TODAY, I STARTED MY TRUCK, THE ABS LIGHT WENT ON, AND A LOUD NOISE CAME FROM UNDERNEATH THE DRIVER'S SIDE. I CALLED MY GM DEALER, AND HE TOLD ME IT WAS THE ABS MODULE. HE SAID A NEW ONE WOULD COST FROM $400-500 DOLLARS, PLUS AN HOUR OF LABOR. I BOUGHT IT IN JULY OF 2003, SPENT A LOT OF MONEY ON ACCESSORIES, AND PAID IT OFF LAST MONTH. JUST AFTER THE DEALER'S WARRANTY RAN OUT(2300 MI), I NOW HAVE AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH AND TALKING WITH PARTS SUPPLY COMPANIES, THIS IS AN ON GOING PROBLEM. WHEN WILL GM MAKE AMMENDS WITH THEIR CONSUMERS? I AM PRESENTING 12 PAGES OF DOCUMENTS TO MY DEALER. WHO KNOWS, MAYBE THEY WILL ADMIT THERE'S A PROBLEM.

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM
2002 CHEVROLET 2500HD DURAMAX FUEL INJECTOR FAILURE. SEEMS TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH LEAKING AT 'TEST PORT' ON INJECTORS. APPEARS TO BE A GLOBAL PROBLEM WITH THIS ENGINE. OCCURS AT AROUND 50-70,000 MILES. CHEVROLET WILL NOT ANSWER AS TO WHETHER THEY PLAN A RECALL OR NOT. WHEN THE INJECTORS LEAK, THE DIESEL FUEL ENTERS THE ENGINE BLOCK, CAUSING LOSS OF OIL PRESSURE, LOSS OF FUEL MILEAGE, OIL LEAKS, LOSS OF POWER, AND SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF DIESEL FUEL LEAKAGE. CHEVROLET HAS THESE PARTS BACK ORDERED AS A RESULT OF THE MAGNITUDE OF THE PROBLEM.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
WHILE DRIVING MY TRUCK ON THE FREEWAY, THE TRANSMISSION DID NOT SHIFT HIGHER THAN 2ND GEAR, WHILE IN (D). I HAVE TO SLOW DOWN AND DRIVE OFF THE FREEWAY. THIS VEHICLE HAD ALL THE SCHEDULED SERVICES AT MY LOCAL DEALER AND THIS TRUCK WAS DRIVEN LIKE A CAR, NO TOWING, NO HAULING. BUT, AT 49K THE TRANSMISSION LOCKS UP. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR A $29K TRUCK THAT IS 3 YRS. OLD! RIGHT NOW THE SERVICE CHARGE IS $800 AND THAT IS TO PULL THE TRANSMISSION TO FIND OUT WHAT IS WRONG.
