FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY:MOUNTING
WHILE DRIVING TO AN ASSIGNED WORK AREA HEARD A NOISE UNDER THE BOTTOM OF THE TRUCK. STOPPED TO INSPECT THE NOISE. UPON INSPECTION, FOUND THE REAR GAS TANK STRAP DISCONNECTED. JUST THE FRONT STRAP WAS HOLDING THE TANK IN PLACE, BUT THE REAR OF THE TANK WAS HANGING DOWN WITHIN A COUPLE INCHES FROM THE GROUND. WAS ABLE TO MAKE THE NECESSARY REPAIRS, AND REPLACED A BOLT. WILL CONTACT THE DEALER.

#722337May 6, 2000
VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER:MOTOR
THIS MODULE CONTROLS THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS, AND IT "FREEZES UP" CAUSING THE WIPERS TO STOP. I WAS IN A HEAVY RAIN, AND HAD TO STOP. THE DEALER SAID THAT IT IS A RECALL ITEM ON S-10'S, BUT NOT FULL SIZE CHEVROLETS. THIS IS THE MOST UNSAFE DEFECT I HAVE EVER HEARD OF IN MY 54 YEARS OF LIFE, 38 DRIVING. CHEVROLET SHOULD BE ASHAMED!!! IT FAILED ONCE TOO MANY TIMES, SO I BOUGHT THE PART AND FIXED IT MYSELF. I THINK THAT MAYBE CHEVRELOT SHOULD REVERT TO "VACUUM" WIPERS FROM THE 40'S AS THEY, ALTHOUGH SLOW AT TIMES, AT LEAST NEVER QUIT ON A DRIVER. *AK
