FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM:INJECTORS
MY TRUCK HAS THE NEW "DURAMAX" ENGINE IN IT. AND IT HAS HAD THE FUEL INJECTORS GO OUT 4 TIMES. I FEEL LIKE I LIVE AT THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP AT TIMES. THE BAD THING ABOUT THIS ENGINE IS WHEN THE MOTOR HAS A PROBLEM IT SHUTS DOWN. AND IF YOUR ON A FREEWAY YOUR GOING TO BE RAN OVER. IT SHUTS DOWN ANYWHERE AT ANYTIME AND YOU CANNOT START IT. *JB

TIRES:TREAD/BELT
FIRESTONE STEELTEX RADIAL TIRE [LT245/75R16] [LOAD RANGE E M/S] TREAD SEPARATED [DRIVER SIDE REAR OF 2002 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 3/4 TON HEAVY DUTY PICK UP] WHILE TOWING A FIFTH WHEEL TRAILER AT 65 MILES PER ON INTERSTATE I-75 IN KENTUCKY. IT SOUNDED LIKE DRIVING ON THE GROOVES USED TO WARN DRIVERS THEY ARE GOING OFF THE ROAD. THEN THE REAR OF THE TRUCK BEGAN TO MOVE SLIGHTLY LEFT/RIGHT. WE WERE JUST STARTING UP A LONG, STEEP HILL IN THE SLOW LANE AND WERE ABLE TO PULL OVER ONTO THE SHOULDER IN A GOOD SPOT WHERE PEOPLE COULD SEE US. MANY DRIVERS CAME CLOSE, BUT WE WERE NOT INJURED. A TRUCKER STOPPED TO HELP US. HE SAID IT LOOKED LIKE THE TIRE HAD DRY ROT. MAYBE A FOOT OF TREAD NEAR THE SIDE WALL CAME LOOSE. A SMALL CHUNK [3''] WAS ALSO LOOSE. THE TIRE COLLAPSED COMPLETELY. I FEEL WE MIGHT HAVE LOST CONTROL IF WE HAD BEEN PASSING OR GOING DOWN HILL. I CHECKED INFLATION JUST A FEW DAYS EARLIER. *NLM

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
I PURCHASED A 2002 CHEVROLET HD2500 WITH A 8100 LITER ENGINE. I HAVE NOW BEEN TOLD THAT THIS ENGINE WILL USE 1 QUART OF OIL FOR EACH 1,000 MILES DRIVEN. I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL TO BE USED IN A NEW VEHICLE. HAS CHEVROLET DONE ANYTHING TO CORRECT THIS MISTAKE. IS THERE A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM?
