MY TRUCK 2002 CHEVY SILVERADO 2500HD HAS AN ENGINE LEAK. I HAVE HEARD RUMMERS OF A BAD VALVE IN THE ENGINE THAT LETS TO MUCH OIL GO THROUGH. I HAVE MENTIONED TO THE SERVICE ASSOCIATE AT THE DEALER AND HE HAS NOT MENTIONED OF ANY SUCH DEFECT. I HAVE TALK TO SEVERAL OTHER GM TRUCK OWNERS AND THEY HAVE THE SAME COMPLAINT FROM THEIR 8.1L ENGINE.

I PURCHASED A NEW 2002 CHEVY SILVERADO EXT CAB 4WD IN NOVEMBER 2001. THE TRUCK CURRENTLY HAS 48000 MILES ON IT. THE REAR BRAKES HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY REBUILT 3 TIMES DUE TO EXCESS WEAR AND FAILURE. THE DEALERSHIP HAS PAID FOR THE REPAIRS TWICE AND SPLIT THE COST ONCE BUT HAS ADVISED THEY WILL NOT PAY FOR IT ANYMORE. THE CAUSE APPEARS TO BE STICKING WHICH WEARS THE PADS OUT WHICH IN TURN WEAR OUT THE ROTORS. THE CALIPERS FREEZE UP AND REQUIRE REPLACING. THE PARKING BRAKE IS USED REGULARLY AND WORKS OKAY. AFTER THE LAST REPAIR, THE ABS CHATTERS WHEN COMING TO A STOP ON CLEAR DRY PAVEMENT, LIKE A PARKING LOT OR STOP SIGN. *LA

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.

STRUCTURE
ON THE 2002 SILVERADO CHEVY PU TRUCK, THERE IS A PLASTIC COVER OVER A BAR UNDER THE DASH BOARD, NEAR THE GAS PEDAL. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE TIP OF THE SOLE OF A DRIVER'S SHOE CAN GET SNAGGED ON THAT PIECE OF PLASTIC WITH THE EFFECT THAT THE DRIVER'S FOOT IS HELD DOWN OF THE GAS PEDAL. ONE DRIVER EXPERIENCED THAT.
