SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
A RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR THIS PROBLEM ON 2000 MODELS, HOWEVER, MY TRUCK IS A 1999. I DOUBT THIS WAS A COINCIDENCE SINCE I HAD THE EXACT SAME FAILURE. THIS PART IS VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO ABUSE UNDER ANY DRIVING CONDITION. I FEEL THIS PART IS INHERENTLY DEFECTIVE AND GM SHOULD SHOULDER THE $1,000 REPAIR BILL. *AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED TO ENGAGE AFTER COMING TO A STOP. THE VEHICLE HAS ALSO ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS SURGED WHILE EASING OUT INTO TRAFFIC, ALMOST CAUSING ACCIDENTS. THE VEHICLE ALSO FEELS LIKE IT IS BEING BUMPED FROM BEHIND ON OCCASION. THESE PROBLEMS ARE NOT CONSISTENT, BUT I HAVE NOTED ON THE DEISELPAGE.COM THAT OTHERS ALSO HAVE THIS PROBLEM. *AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
THE PROBLEM IS WHEN COMING TO A STOP (UNDER BRAKING) IF YOU DON'T COME TO A COMPLETE AND TOTAL STOP AND YOU DECIDE TO SWITCH BACK TO THE ACCELERATOR, THE TRUCK FREE REVS FOR ABOUT HALF A SECOND AND THEN DUMPS THE TRANSMISSION IN GEAR. WHILE THIS HAS YET TO CAUSE ME ANY DANGEROUS PROBLEMS, I BELIEVE IT VERY WELL COULD IN THE RAIN OR ICE/SNOW. IF YOU'RE NOT PREPARED FOR IT, SOMETIMES IT HITS HARD ENOUGH THAT FOR A MOMENT YOU'RE SOMEWHAT DISORIENTED, REPRESENTING A DANGEROUS SITUATION IF THERE'S OTHER TRAFFIC AROUND. *AK
