STRUCTURE:BODY:TAILGATE:HINGE AND ATTACHMENTS
I WAS SITTING ON THE TAILGATE OF MY 2000 SILVERADO PICKUP WITH MY GIRLFRIEND, WHEN BOTH CABLES SNAPPED AND THE TAILGATE DROPPED AND WE FELL TO THE GROUND. THE TAILGATE RECEIVED A DENT FROM HITTING THE BUMPER. LUCKILY, WE WERE NOT HURT, BUT NOW I DON'T FEEL SAFE LOADING MY LAWN TRACTOR ON THE TAILGATE RAMPS. BOTH CABLES APPEARED RUSTED WITHIN THEIR PLASTIC SHEATHING AND SNAPPED IN THE MIDDLE WHERE THE CABLE BENDS WHEN TAILGATE IS CLOSED.*AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
I OWN A 2001 CHEVY SILVERADO K3500 WITH THE 6.0L ENGINE. MY VEHICLE HAS CONSUMED OIL FROM DAY ONE AND THIS PROBLEM IS GETTING WORSE. I TRAVELED TO OHIO LAST MONTH AND USED ONE QUART IN ABOUT 450 MILES. THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS. NOW I MUST GIVE YOU SOME BACKGROUND ON MYSELF. MY PREVIOUS VEHICLE WAS A 1995 GMC SIERRA K3500 WITH A 7.4L ENGINE, BOTH THE 2001 AND THE 1995 I PURCHASED NEW. I FOLLOWED THE MANUFACTURER'S DIRECTIONS ON BREAKING IN THE VEHICLE IN BOTH CASES. THE 1995 VEHICLE NEVER CONSUMED OIL, EVEN AT 145,000 MILES. I CHECK MY OIL AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK, THAT IS A DISGRACE FOR A VEHICLE THAT IS ONLY THREE YEARS OLD. MY VEHICLE ALSO KNOCKS AND PINGS ALL THE TIME. I HAVE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM AT TWO DIFFERENT OCCASIONS AND HAVE RECEIVED TWO DIFFERENT STORIES. I AM TIRED OF THE "RUN AROUND" TREATMENT BY THE DEALER AND BY CHEVY WHEN I CALL THE "CHEVY HELP LINE", "WORK IT OUT WITH THE DEALER" IS ALL I'M TOLD. I AM AWARE OF A POSSIBLE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST CHEVROLET FOR THE ENGINE PROBLEMS. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY INFORMATION OR ASSISTANCE YOU COULD OFFER IN THIS MATTER. *LA
